now that was found back in december when soldiers arrived at the tommy home to a west mohammed naturally a who was extremely angry and her brother of regularly at protests and demonstrations with israeli soldiers there very often in confrontations. bosporus lee reporting now an investigation into one of the worst cases of child sex abuse in the u.k. is stalling due to a lack of qualified personnel the abuse scandal centers on the sexual exploitation of fourteen hundred children over the course of three decades in the northern british town of rubber room it was revealed that eighty percent of the suspected perpetrators were of pakistani origin artie's looks now why the probe launched three years ago is still failing to make progress according to this senior officer investigating the scandal one hundred more police officers are needed to uncover

the truth so far police have managed to interview seventeen percent of the possible one and a half thousand victims due to a shortage in specially trained detectives. it's a really specialised area engaging in interviewing vulnerable victims a lot of our victims were children when they were abused but they're now adults and have associated problems as a result of that abuse including suicidal tendencies mental health issues drug and alcohol addiction the author of scandal led to a national outcry when the scale of the child abuse was first exposed back in twenty twelve two years later an independent inquiry found that for decades through systemic failures in policing and social services the sexual abuse of children went on right under the noses of the all thora ts gangs of men the majority of whom were of pakistani origin preyed on mostly white girls aged from eleven to fifteen many

of the victims thought they were in relationships with their abusers when the crimes were uncovered local authorities in yorkshire were accused of failing to tackle the problem partly through fear of being branded racist on the part of the authorities in their cases they were actually saying that these girls made a lifestyle choice it's about the fact that the authorities didn't want to be branded racist the ring leaders of the rod room grooming going last year i think the distant relatives of mine but you know what it doesn't change the responsibility that people like me have on tackling this particular issue so i've been campaigning against child sexual exploitation and street gang grooming gangs who are predominantly of a pakistani origin for over ten years they investigate and interrupt their abuse or has cost ten million pounds so far four individuals have been convicted eighteen

have been charged and thirty eight have been arrested no one senior has been held to account and with just seventeen percent of the victims interviewed so far all this. may just be the tip of the iceberg. the californian who's an expert recycling electronics has found himself in a whole lot of trouble it's over his idea to help save people money when it comes to upgrading computers microsoft is accused longer and here of creating thousands of illegal copies of its software he argues though he was only using it to extend the life span of old p.c.'s but he does face up to fifteen months in prison and also a possible fifty thousand dollars fine longer and insists he was acting within the law. the microsoft software itself gets missing d.l.l. files and below where and viruses but over time will break down the software so

that it doesn't operate and function as intended you might have seen that before if you ever use a computer and it just seems to slow down over time and it needs a refresh which is what the purpose of a restore cd is so you have a license with your computer and that follows your computer in perpetuity until your computer's no longer working and that computer can be used by hundreds of people thousands of people and the license follows the hardware so the hardware itself over time might get missing d.l.l. files or it might get viruses and bloat where and what you'll end up doing is you want to refresh your re-install your valid copy of license on your computer and to do that you need three things you need to see a way you need a license and you need to restore media restore cd the restore cd is free you can download it anywhere online but the c.e.o. and license have to come from microsoft they're the only ones that can provide you with that microsoft claims it missed out on sales of its license products due to piracy prosecutors claim he made twenty eight thousand illegal copies of

microsoft's operating system last year and was convicted but in the people's court it did allow him to argue he's case one more time he says his main purpose was to encourage people to use with computers instead of purchasing me once. i know that if you were to make top the use of their license or their seal ways you're directly stealing from microsoft and you deserve to go to prison but if you're providing the restore cd which is the free thing that you can download for free or that's given to you with your computer if you provide that to consumers you're giving them the ability to repair their legally own property and i see no problem with that i believe in extending the life cycle of electronics and i believe that it helps us be more efficient in society if we're able to use these computers as long as they last i was very surprised when microsoft put me in that same circle with the people

that are out there hacking or stealing their licenses or seal ways i mean that is a crime crime that deserves to be punished because you're directly stealing from somebody all i was attempting to do was help consumers use what they legally own i've been a recycler for sixteen years and all i care about is the environment i want to make sure the things that work continue to work for the benefit of mankind. the bombshell best set a fire and fury reportedly used numerous tricks to gain revelations about the trump of ministration including author michael wolff claiming to the white house that the book and its title would actually be much more favorable and apparently for me a neat trick up his sleeve his will for paid to demonstrate when confronted with an extremely uncomfortable question about his claims.

he wrote the book that president trump didn't want you to buy so you did. inside the truck white house can't go michael wolff michael wolff the author of fire and fury joins me now michael wolff welcome i was. usage hearing a t.v. interview just last month that you are absolutely sure that donald trump is currently having an affair called just last week i would have you back flips and say that i closed all i do not know if the president is having an affair do you are the president and the first lady an apology mr wolf. i can't hear you. do you are the president and the first lady at a public event i can hear you. did you absolutely sure that the president with having an affair i mean i'm not getting in

i'm not getting anything. you know hearing me i'm not getting anything. pushing out internationally can have more news he. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't. let me. get to stamp out these things comes out to play and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. russia's been reaching out for decades for years under putin saying look we've got to trade more this more trade and america is like no no you're an existential

crisis because we have to give these deadbeats in congress a lot more money if you're going to create a fake enemy that would demand three hundred million dollars meanwhile you go do trade with china and the east and create the new grow to become much more join a five trillion dollars economy all america shrinks. but again the russian trolls are in the spotlight again this time u.s. politicians and the mainstream media are accusing them of spreading havoc in american society after the florida school shooting expects when informing us about the alleged danger of russian internet trolls american politicians have been very clear about the intent behind russian conspiracies and sinister operations

they want to sow division among the american people and one issue they've latched on to is the second amendment gun control debate apparently the russians are very big fans of our second amendment they don't particularly want to second members of their own but the really glad that we have one the russians would be thrilled if we were doing nothing but killing each other every day and sadly we are according to facebook's security chief the russians don't favor gun control or oppose it they just want to fight americans against each other and make sure that we don't see eye to eye the ads in accounts appeared to focus on apple find divisive social and political messages across the india logical spectrum touching on topics from l g p t matters to race issues to immigration. to gun rights so russian trolls are inflaming emotions over any sensitive issue guns included but it looks like we can

locate some russian bots not only on facebook but who else is inflaming sentiments over that oh so sensitive second amendment will take away your second amendment which we will never allow to happen don't take away by for some people that might be obvious but trump isn't the only one sowing division many in legacy media love mass shootings. and you guys are loving. others threatening messages against gun owners a billboard in kentucky has been vandalized with the words kill the n.r.a. that must be the work of russian trolls also if you follow the premise it seems like the mainstream american media is also working for the russians left leaning media outlets immediately calling for more gun control right leaning outlets focusing on mental health connecticut governor dan malloy says president trump and republicans have blood on their hands after the deadly massacre in florida they

call it gun control but it's not it's people control when any organization spends ten of millions of dollars promoting the interests of gun corporations to influence what happens in our elections then yes our democracy is a little broken i americans on both sides of the issue are now screaming at the top of their lungs from the highest levels of government to child survivors of mass murder accusations are flying everywhere now if this is all just some big plot from moscow we really have a big problem here in america i have been a doing this professionally in terms of you know this type of comedy for thirty years now and in thirty years i think before the russian bots came along they've been saying the same. thing every single time in my native florida so i know something about that so if the russians are claiming to take credit for

involving themselves and insinuating themselves in this particular argument they're too late because this has been going on for thirty years and nothing's changed. fourteen police officers have been injured in clashes new york trains parliament after protesters pelted them with stones car tires molotov cocktails. i. demonstrators here tried to break into the parliament building insisting on talks with the speaker there are conflicting reports on their demands but local media claiming army veterans wanted their redistribution of pensions but also claims that supporters of former regional governor really had staged the riots and they want his facebook page he denies the claims police chief called the incident a well staged proper taishan authorities have launched a criminal investigation of nine people already to take.

the starting gun has been fired in the russian presidential election at least in northwest siberia it is the first region to cast ballots in early polling due to the remoteness of its polling stations and also be severe weather there election officials using all possible means of transport from helicopters to snowmobiles. you're watching i'll say thanks for the company tonight we're back with more than

half an. hour. with no make its manufacture consent to stick to public wells. when the roman closest project themselves. with the famous merry go round lifts and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. of the real news room. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to press. on to the right to be prosperous like the flag tree in the morning can't be good that. i'm interested always in the waters of our. first sip. from greetings oh so you take this. the news cycle can be

a very funny funny funny monster hog watchers that can bring us a full gamut of emotions from joy to anger and back again sometimes within the days sometimes even within an hour take the news cycle this weekend for example were on one hand we got the not surprising but seriously compete in the backward misplaced priorities of his country get any more misplaced and backwards news when the n.r.a. is handing out c.c. chairman and award for courage yes courage at c pac on friday the n.r.a. awarded pi the charlton heston courage under fire award for his courageous actions storming the hill of net neutrality and planting the flag of freedom for all telecommunications giants near and far the n.r.a. i encourage seriously three words i never thought would escape these lips but they thankfully this weekend's news cycle also brought us the thank goodness there might

still be some good judgment in the world news that a federal judge in louisiana on friday revoked a permit for energy transfer partners by you bridge crude oil pipeline yes federal judge shelley dick dealt a serious setback to energy transfer partners construction of the seven hundred fifty million dollars one hundred sixty two mile long pipeline running crude from lake charles to st james louisiana in the order judge dick wrote that she was prohibiting further work on the pipeline in order to prevent further irreparable harm until this matter can be tried on the merits in case you forgot keeping notes at home energy transfer partners were the ones who brought us that stunning display of corporate and community center g. that was the dakota access pipeline i'm sure you can remember that you see every new cycle brings a little good brings a little bad. and it also brings a whole lot of watching the hawks. you. know what it.

looks like. at the bottom. like you that i got. so. well going to watch for the dark side i robot for and on top of the. room and that's that's that's a good way to look at it well. you know the good news about of the news cycle we dive into with the police here and watching it it can be depressing and it can be very uplifting like this week. craig pipeline stops you know that's good news. getting an award for courage courage his courage was what making goofy videos on

the internet and doing what his corporate overlords tell him to do very courageous so courageous or courage is the right term snyder the executive director of the american conservative union while introducing r.c.c. chairman pyaar during this award ceremony. is the most courageous heroic person that i know has received kawas death threats his property has been invaded by the george soros crowd and his family has been abused in different ways and of course you don't want to be one going after people spam leaders and we should definitely not do that well then we should doors that. could employ these go after the earnings small business owners but. not neutrality on everybody and by inflicting that neutrality on everyone ultimately we're all going to pay more for basic streaming services because the corporate overlords can make an extra buck off it thanks to the courage gee that was some career warm courage courage could see

what's really funny is he. does he get to keep oh no which is a layer yes so the award which is this charles and that is to fire a word yet how about we give that to everyone that has ever been on the internet just throw it out that's a good i want a good one courage under fire or so a lot so they have. so what it is is it's a handmade kentucky long gun but it's housed at the n.r.a. as museum so the every not only gives you an gives you an award but doesn't let you take it home keeps it in their own ok sure previous winners have included the then rebel vice president pants. do you know any former malarky county sheriff sheriff david clarke which again is what i shared david clark took some real slings and arrows well you know the thing is when he was a would you ever except in the war that have that is the history going into it. and then suddenly you know you look at it it's kind of

a thing of why don't you think it's a little bit about timing giving everything going on in the news cycle right now to be like accepting an award from the n.r.a. when you've already like upset a bunch of people with neutrality not going to upset like all the people with like accepting this what timing that is anti an array of evil i think the idea that five million people that vote v n r a somehow represents firearm owners. that's a good point it's a guy who's already under investigation for colluding with corporations to circumvent the law and now they're the people who are literally want to hand the hand money to politicians to circumvent what the public out what the majority of the public actually wants on safety and firearms and all of that congrats. on the good side of the good side of the news i like the fact that the judge stepped up and said no you guys didn't get the right permits for this you guys you know we need to rethink the building of this pipeline across this beautiful pristine

louisiana some really good news to see you know super part of it was this thing with the the ruling. so there's the suit against this is sort of taking. the earth justice yes see them on january eleventh as a staff yeah they'd sooner or later there's a whole ton of people behind this lawsuit. just as you go that's going to us army corps of engineers you have the the. basin keeper probably didn't start writes about from louisiana the louisiana crawfish producers association as well as the gulf restoration network the water keepers a lot of names and. kind of part of this party to this lawsuit the judge didn't know. earth justice is pretty good about it yeah i know that they there was a quote there the attorney told the media the court's ruling recognizes the serious threat this pipeline poses to the. basin i think about one of the country's

ecological and cultural crown jewels for now at least it's safe from this company's incompetence and greed for now still. the good it's still. sometimes a crack in the door and that is what many fearful of world war three are hoping for with news that north korea has left the door open to possible talks with the united states despite the new sanctions announced last friday r t s n l a champ is at the latest good evening tie in tab so according to treasury secretary there are now as many as four hundred fifty sanctions on north korea and half of those have been imposed in just the past year alone since trump took office but as ms evolved to trump the president's daughter and the senior adviser led the american delegation at the olympic closing ceremonies in north korea allegedly ready to come to the negotiating table with america however this information was relayed by south korean officials there is yet to be official statements from the

north but president trump is of course speaking on the issue of new sanctions that aimed to further cripple kim's economy listen to what he said earlier today during a governor's luncheon he hosted at the white house. who's joining we probably lost five hundred four billion dollars last year and three five hundred four billion. i think that president xi is unique he's helping us with north korea who by the way wants to talk as of last night you heard that they want to talk. we want to also only under the right conditions otherwise would not talk to you know they've been talking for twenty five years or the president should have solved this problem before i got here and they've been talking for twenty five years and you know what happened nothing and the president has been clear though that going forward he will not accept a nuclear north meanwhile kim says his country isn't ready or willing to abandon

their nuclear ambitions so we're kind of at a stalemate there however these newly announced sanctions call out china as one of the countries helping north korea evade sanctions at the high seas now the sanctions say twenty seven shipping and trade companies along with twenty eight vessels are complicit in assisting the north illegally move merchandise or goods such as coal and oil ship to ship from international waters now some of the north korean ships being disguised as chinese vessels meanwhile critics of the president are saying these new sanctions only call out china while leaving out russia who they allege are helping north koreans in the same manner but during a panel discussion with the atlantic council one expert said that the trump administration has actually taken a strong stance against russia in the form of the twenty eight thousand nuclear posture review some even say perhaps misplacing this nuclear threat as the u.s. ramps up its nuclear capabilities plus i think everyone up here would agree that

the world's more dangerous now than it was in two thousand and ten in terms of the balance of attention to threats it does seem like the review is very rushed oriented and that a lot of the recommendations are kind of oriented around that i'd like to see more discussion would like to see a bit more in the review but really hope to hear it in the continued conversations with the administration about north korea. i think that presents a number of fairly you need challenges for which we need to kind of combine our nuclear policy with a range of counterproliferation and other strategies and i'd like to see that spelled out in greater detail. in our eyes the recent reproach met between north and south korea over the olympics is actually being cautioned by peninsula experts as a ruse by the north to drive a wedge between the u.s. and south korea and that as the winter olympics have drawn to a close and relations are seeming to thaw ivanka trump underscored while she was there in south korea that the administration is there to reaffirm its commitment to

maximum pressure on the north to de nuclearize guys thank you very much for the example that wild report. large going on in the world all of that i'm sorry as a commentator i just don't have faith in a lot of these leaders to actually prevent this from happening but i'm happy to see a crack in the door you know i'm happy to see that there's some movement though it's hurts to see president trump kind of like dismiss that well as a reporter for twenty five years whatever ridiculous you have this is i mean this is the thing about sanctions they don't work they don't work. they end up hurting not the person at the top just like russian sanctions do you think it's going to miss the mail even you know is that do you think the people you know who are at the top in any six ways in cuba do you think castro was missing a meal or do you think kim jong il is going to miss a meal now it's the people that barely have anything to survive on now and you honestly think that people who are starving the point of sanctions is this idea

that they're all going to rise up and go up against them they don't have food you know they don't have food they have limited resources to begin with and we think starving out an entire generation of children is somehow going to be answered the question and i'm sorry but you know and i agree with you completely terms of that i'm sorry but why is talking such a negative thing in my mind is like talking isn't dialogue isn't that the way you understand people that you prevent war from happening you prevent bombs from driving by continuing to talk absolutely ridiculous so hard as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover the first the careful shows that are dot com coming up we are off the wire jerk but what happened to bernie sanders his new book apparently has the absolute states to watch.

everybody and stephen both. hollywood guys. you'll suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and our visa two cents to this is my buddy max famous financial guru and will ease a little bit different. you know when those up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the brood have some fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to.
