agreement and every single action the iranians have taken has been bolder and starkly than the one they took before the agreement. a very real danger. by hardly ever escape a day at the white house without the president asking me about north korea and how it is that the united states is responding to that threat it's very much at the top of his mind they are ever closer to having the capacity to hold america risk with a nuclear weapon this is the man elevated to america's top diplomat and descending with him is his former deputy gina hospital will be the first woman to lead the cia with her bosses impending departure she worked undercover and in secret for years she clearly likes being out of the spotlight and it could be for a good reason she was one of the tortue chieftains at the cia in two thousand to asp all round the operations of an agency black site in thailand where two

terrorist suspects were tortured one of them was nearly killed during these so-called interrogation agents slammed against the wall water boarded him deprived of sleep and kept him in a coffin like box and it was the hospital reportedly who later gave the order to destroy the tapes which recorded the torment along with other evidence given trump's pledge to keep guantanamo bay operational and he's advocating of waterboarding everything falls into place it seems now the state department and the cia will have plenty in common you know in hansing not just interrogation techniques but a diplomatic routine to. both nominees will now have to go through senate confirmation hearings before taking office however rights groups have already called on congress to reject both nominations human rights watch says that given the track record of pompei and hospital both likely to endorse abusive practices. he was one of the first officers to expose the agency's use of torture and was

later serving a jail term for his well following the revelations he told me appointing gina hospital as head of the cia isn't one of trump's finest decisions this is one of the worst moves i ever heard at the cia when i sort of equity believe it because you know has or should be in the docket not in the directors of cia dina has all i has blood all over her hands she's the godmother of the cia's torture program the president is certainly a fan of torture he's come right out and said so and the only thing that stopping them from returning to this torture regime is one piece of paper called the mccain feinstein amendment it was an amendment to the national science authorization act that specifically banned it if it exactly the kinds of techniques that you know has was overseen my proposal take over from the current secretary of state rec to

listen at the end of this month and report that donald trump had been considering sacking his top diplomat had been circulating for months because of the numerous sometimes public disagreements over government policy tillerson removal was announced in the end on twitter by the president and that abrupt move has got others on the social network sharing similar stories of rejection in fact it's even led them to come up with any word.

if that now you. are right when canadian activist is being detained in france and banned from entering britain lauren southern was held at i british border point in cali the u.k. home office told that she was banned for distributing racist material of the town of luton last year says one of the post is said quote is

a gay gold and quote official described the twenty two year old as a threat therefore to u.k. public policy southern says she was interrogated that french poured into the u.k.'s terrorism act. i got a knock on the door from the kent u.k. police who handed me this form and that's when things kind of went sideways it's the schedule seven terrorism act and they said you need to read this you are being brought in to be questioned under the terrorism act the right we're going to have also been barred from britain for similar reasons as martin so and american commentator brittany the very words this month for three days before being deported some had been should go to speak at a free speech conference at hyde park corner we were last weekend from entering the u.k. for various reason for me because i wanted to give a speech about freedom of speech on speakers corner and for me i am an american

conservative commentator and i simply wanted to enter the u.k. of course i was going to watch martin speech but i was primarily going in to do some interviews i wanted to interview tommy robinson who is outspoken against islam and they essentially labeled him a far right leader who incites racial hatred and that's why they didn't want me to enter to interview him so huge crackdown of censorship but not only you know them banning us but also on the internet right now as we're seeing on platforms like you tube and twitter. because the anger in some quarters supporters is saying that while right wing activists are being banned on the other hand radical islamic preachers have being allowed to speak freely a known terror suspects are allowed entry into britain the bit ridiculous if you look at us that both of us are as i called i'm acceptable characters for you if you pose a threat to a court again piece of the local communities why the same the very same country lets radical muslim extremists just freely enter the country they have all this muslim grooming gangs but still be are the main threat and we are kept out of the
