injured. professor of history and international relations at the lebanese university of beirut jamal wakim believes the u.s. is exhausting its ability to provide stability in the country the united states is being involved in too many crisis resources are being drained and at the same time it's antagonizing. iran even pakistan india and other countries and its attempt to maintain its hegemony over global affairs but this is exhausting the united states and i believe that it's leading it to overextension the way. they did. by the historian paul kennedy in his famous book the rise and fall of great empires so i believe that the united states is being overstretched it might lead to
8:05 pm
a big crisis within this country and of course its role worldwide. to washington where the white house has just announced or trump has revokes the security clearance of the former cia director john brennan the president's also said to be evaluating the situation of a number of other officials. i'm a value waiting action with respect to the following individuals james clapper james comey michael hayden sally ates susan rice and german cave peter sure lisa page and bruce or security clearances for those who still have them may be revoked it is for the foregoing reasons that i have exercised my constitutional authority to deny mr brennan access to classified information sara sander spoke to press and she said that the decision to revoke brennan's clearance was based on his erratic conduct and behavior defending the move as an effort to secure classified info from someone who has helped foment division in the past and clearly has very
8:06 pm
partisan leanings and john brennan himself has already chimed in blasting the move as part of a bid to suppress free speech and punish critics but for some context john brennan left his position as director of the cia back in january twenty seventeen and he now serves as m s n b c's senior national security and intelligence analyst but this whole debacle began last month when senator rand paul called brennan's motives into question asking if he had been profiting off of his clearance by divulging secrets to the mainstream media his exact words he even met with trump asking him to revoke the clearances of not only brennan but a few other prominent political figures now after that sarah huckabee sanders read out a list of names of who else was and can disagree and included former f.b.i. director james comey a former director of national intelligence james clapper and a few others for apparently spreading rumors about russian collusion now trump also
8:07 pm
tweeted some indirect references to it later on but today sarah huckabee sanders elaborated on that a bit saying that the administration could also revoke other acts officials including james comey as peter struck who has just fired from the f.b.i. recently so immediate reaction so far have been pretty predictable so we'll just have to see. if that affects trump's future decisions now as some of those names sound familiar is because they've crossed swords with mr trump over a variety of issues and have often drawn his scorn online this is an extraordinary move the white house saying that this had to do with security issues but this is really one of vengeance william binney a former u.s. national security agency technical director and whistleblower thinks the media supporting brennan has lost credibility. they shut down anybody who has a different opinion so their voice is discredited totally i mean they're basically
8:08 pm
not the only their first amendment duty to political figure who's doing the questioning and also looking at all kinds of options and investigating all they're not doing and they're only doing one side if the truth exists because that's the way of the case so they have no credibility at all the president is doing the right thing we're going to clearances of people who aren't contributing anything the only reason we have influence if you believe government. work is to have if you were involved in contracts or other making other contributions to government ever for national in the case of brennan and all those people you just listed they're not making a positive contribution to anything they're making a negative contribution to everything so they have no business that we could clear . if it's london where police in the u.k. say the man detained off to choose days westminster a car bombing incident is being held on suspicion of attempted murder and performing an act of terror has been identified as a british citizen
8:09 pm
a sudanese origin and then correspondent to see a chicken house the details we do know that the press here are saying that this is a man who is twenty nine years old he is being named as sally kadir british citizen of sudanese origin is being reported that this man came to britain back in twenty ten as a refugee and applied for asylum and was granted british citizenship within the last two years it's also being reported that this is a man who lived in birmingham and was actually according to some reports being made now in london to reportedly apply for sudanese visa to be able to visit his family back home it's also being reported that he was not known to the m i five or the counter-terror police but local police in birmingham where he lived were aware of his identity and we do know that police here who are now invest. getting this case have been saying that he's not been cooperating with them and that's their main priority remains to be able to determine what exactly has more to vision is police
8:10 pm
have investigated and looked into were two properties that could have been associated with him still searching another but no other people have been arrested in connection to this so the police are continuing to look into that and we're also hearing here that the car that he had driven to london from birmingham actually arrived the night before this incident took place and interesting we just mentioned we know that the metropolitan police commissioner here in london has said that it might be the worst idea to consider just realizing westminster because of what she's described these vehicle attacks being weapons of choice so we'll see if god happens and we've also heard from the london mayor said you can see that it also might not be a bad idea to have security not just in westminster but in london. london to space to russian cosmonauts have carried out samaritans space walk the international space station both are equipped with cameras and you can see some of

8:14 pm
still to come a diplomatic and trade route between us and take eight shows no signs of cooling off but a tech ish spokesman slamming washington we've got the details for you after show break.
8:15 pm
what politicians do something. to put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. something want to be preached. to the right. this is what the flag treatable people. interested always in the y. our. friendship. welcome back to the program now the takesh president spokesperson says washington has almost completely halted relations it comes amid a rising standoff favorite's harris take a hike to rights on a key american products including cars and alcohol. truth here in.
8:16 pm
the u.s. has brought relations with turkey to an almost complete hoax a disappointment as profound. the route was aggravated is when encouraged to taint an american past alleged links to terrorism among other measures washington slapped additional tariffs on. steel that's had the tech a sneer at plummeting to record lows against the us dollar tech stocks have tumbled. least pastor andrew bronson now or be prepared to face the consequences. will respond to the yes declaring the trade on the whole world by answering new markets and finding allies at the president's direction the department of treasury is sanctioning turkey's minister of justice and minister of interior. we will boycott u.s. electronics. waging an economic war against
8:17 pm
turkey for this reason i've changed all my u.s. stories in the roots. i think we should always use locally made products after the spike in the u.s. dollar the prices for foreign products increased dramatically people can no longer afford them. the whole world is watching america cannot confront as directly but it uses the dollar to wage hidden war. the us state department spokesperson was pressed by journalists on the global effects of a technician american to speak. bilateral issue between the united states has now ruled emerging markets we've had everything from mexico to india currencies morro the developing world scene affected by this and what stage does one stop this and so that you know the the rest of the world doesn't think this is
8:18 pm
a very messy economic path well i think what we're seeing overall. and i'm not a an economist of course but economists would certainly tell you that what is happening in turkey goes far beyond the united states and united states recent policies for matecumbe foreign minister. told us that the u.s. president's quote under play mattick behavior is losing him friends across the globe it is more the political goal rather than economic. because if. true through come more will know who we want to use this live roots for political purposes from flu or doing things unfortunately doing duty. you know only too much if we from growth this new true of almost everyone including.
8:19 pm
scores like that. who. must sober. so it is an entirely with you know it will distance more from with me. now c.n.n. present chris cuomo has sparked contrive a safe the saying on air that violence coming from the left wing may have meant in the us is more morally justified than violence which comes from the far right the comments were made the day after and if i had mine it clashes with the place and journalists while countering a white nationalist rally in washington. all punches are not equal drawing a moral equivalency between those espousing hate and those fighting it because they both resort to violence emboldens hate legitimizes hateful belief and elevates what should be stamped out and am my colleague country for my gut
8:20 pm
reaction both for and against chris cuomo this comment. every time i see them on television they seem to be getting some kind of fight some kind of altercation it always seems to come from them and as a matter if they're fighting hey or whatever they claim you can't put your hands on somebody and then behind some kind of moral high ground don't touch people if you don't want to be really just as simple as day it doesn't matter what political affiliation the other person is violence even if it's the most justified and righteous violence that you can have it still creates negative karma it is still a very problematic thing to use so it's something that should be diverted to only when it's absolutely necessary these are people who really are what they purport to associate be against they're talking about being anti fascist a lot of their action mirrors that of what was on the mussolinis time with the whole black church situation it seems like they're doing the same thing i'm not saying that they're exactly the same as what was going on back then in italy but
8:21 pm
a lot of their tactics seem to mirror what they were doing just because i mean what is i believe it is an ideal or a long i'll hold on wait wait wait wait just because somebody is hateful in your eyes does not mean that it's ok or somehow justified at all to hurt then you can't say violence or maybe justify it no it's not if somebody does not put their hands on you you cannot put your hands on them is very simple if you put your hands on somebody then that person has a right to defend themselves you know you talk about don't put your hands on somebody will you know somebody that has yes there's somebody that wears a mask attacks dangerous people without personal provocation puts their hands on them you know who it is it's bad man this type of behavior is justified in our society violence can be used to prevent greater violence. no it doesn't it is against the law to commit violence against another individual yeah of course but the law does not dictate more ality the law is just the law many people talking
8:22 pm
about just morally acceptable to hurt. those who were talking about hate but what about the innocent people who actually members of the media get attacked by and used to use schoolteachers dean i mean it's also it's an attack by the hand isn't it wait wait well wait hold on hold on a mechanism you see people today are people of color as the left likes to call them being made by these individuals because if their political opinion so i don't really understand this whole thing. it's ok is somehow justified. because most of the time when i see jimmy gage and his values use against those who just have different points of view you know i'd have to see it see the statistics on that. you know we have seen a outbreak in street fighting between fascists and anti-fascists that absolutely has happened these people are just afraid they're cowards and they're acting in a way that is totally irrational because of their fear. in the u.s.
8:23 pm
state of new mexico has received death threats after granting bell to five adults suspected of child abuse that are accused of giving tara training to children to carry out carry out gun attacks with the court's decision provoking such outrage tanya holkins has been taking a closer look at a missing boy exorcism rituals and alleged child terror training the stories riveted the american media this is the makeshift compound in the remote new mexico desert where eleven children disheveled and malnourished were found by police along with five adults a collection of guns and ammunition and a child's body your thoughts he's left shocked it was disheartening to see that in this day and age. that people could live that way. no running water no electricity it was. they were in bad shape the
8:24 pm
man behind this set up is alleged to be syringe even waage the body is believed to be that of his child. although the corpse is yet to be identified siraj abducted his son who was severely ill before taking him to the compounds to the horror of the mother. this is the single family is the reason for the. prosecutors say the children now in protective custody received weapons training with a view to committing mass shootings they had open access to the firearms and in a sinister turn the three year old boy died during a religious ritual to exercise demons the other children were told the infant would then return and tell them exactly what attacks to carry out the sugar were all that would be really ready to come back with you since you went through on what institutions the group needed to get rid of these institutions including teachers
8:25 pm
know that your law enforcement financial institution now there is more to the story sewerage and what is the son of a new york a mom of the same name who's attracted his fair share of controversy islam is better than a democracy in time the so-called democracy will crumble and there will be nothing and the only thing that will remain will be islam what hides seamier was an unindicted coconspirator in the nine hundred ninety three world trade center bombing meaning he was never charged but believed by authorized to be linked to the attack and the perpetrators perhaps surprisingly that mom confessed his son's religious beliefs may have been intense but i think that my son can be a little bit. a little bit extreme. when it's not radical who killed people thought god forbid i've never seen anything like that. but you know
8:26 pm
he just a little bit sometimes little bit you know. now despite the family previously coming to the attention of authorities it does seem the gun bristling compound was only discovered by chaunce and such cases and not isolated we have had compounds like this where not only is it a threat to the surrounding city and to the states within the u.s. but it's also a threat to the women and children that are kept there i've spoken to some people that have been in compounds much like this one where this young boy was found it's a very big issue that the u.s. has it looked more into this and that the u.s. has known about these kinds of compounds throughout many states for a long time so we really do need to make sure that our law enforcement our f.b.i. or department of justice knows how to combat that and isn't just blinded by the fact that we don't want to look at religion or offend anybody because those very people that we're trying to not offend are having their own women and children either killed or treated very horribly the defense raised
8:27 pm
a savior point would this case of attracted such media attention had those involved been what christians we don't know whatever the arts in this case all five have been granted bail to a judge not to be dangerous enough for custody. for more information on any of our stories tend to get check out. and we were on social media to see and take a minute.

greetings and salutation. nicholas johnson was f.c.c. commissioner in one nine hundred sixty nine when during a debate in t.v. guide with the president of c.b.s. news on the problem of course corporate censorship he stated many broadcasters are fighting now for free speech but for profitable speech and that corporate tampering with the product of honest and capable journalists and creative writers and performers can be quite serious and here we sit in twenty eight and corporations of broadcasters of all sorts from t.v. to the internet have their float on the chest of our free press the australian reported this week that facebook's head of news person or ships former c.n.n. journalist campbell brown allegedly told around twenty or so broadcasters and

publishers that we will help you revitalize journalism in a few years the reverse looks like i'll be holding your hands with your dying business like in a hospice of course facebook denies the claims telling business insider that these quotes are simply not accurate don't reflect on the meeting we know there's much in the meeting we know there's much more to do but our goal at facebook what the team works on every day with publishers and reporters around the world is to help journalism succeed and thrive both on our platform and off that means a new focus on building sustainable business models that's what the discussion was about. however while facebook fiercely denies the claim citing a transcript them from the call they are refusing to release that transcript so there's no way for us to make that verify that claim it seems more than likely that facebook believes the nonsense they're spouting they've paid c.n.n. and fox news millions to create news content specifically for their platform they've sold our personal information to political operatives and they've partnered
