government facilities for the rest of the dead bodies are still on the ground i've also been injured. professor of history in international relations at the lebanese investing barry jamal wakim believes the u.s. is exhausting its ability to provide stability in the country the united states has been involved in too many crisis the resources are being drained and at the same time it's antagonizing russia china. 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
9:05 pm
a big crisis within this country and of course its role worldwide. in the u.s. where the white house has announced or trump has provoked this occur to clarence of the former cia director john brennan the president's also said to be evaluating the situation at 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 shura 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
9:06 pm
info from someone who has helped foment division in the past and clearly has very 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 it 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
9:07 pm
tweeted some indirect references to it later on but today sarah huckabee sanders a lab aerated on that a bit saying that the administration could also revote parents of other acts officials including james comey as peter struck who is just fired from the f.b.i. recently so immediate reaction so far have been pretty predictable so was that 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 but 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
9:08 pm
not the only their first amendment duty to find out what they care who's doing the questioning and also looking at all kinds of options and investigating them all they're not doing their only be one sided if you throw in this because that's all they've got so they they have no credibility at all the president is doing the right thing rebooking the clearances the people who aren't contributing anything the only reason they have a clear example you believe government. work is to if you were involved in contracts or other making other contributions to government efforts in the case of brennan 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 every good clearance . in the city you can now at police say the man detained off the cheese days westminster car bombing incident is being held on suspicion of attempted medha and performing acts of terror he's been identified as a better citizen
9:09 pm
a sudanese origin a london correspondent and asked him a check in at a city itself 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 it's been 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 investigating this case have been saying that he. he's not been cooperating with them and that's their main priority remains to be able to determine what exactly has motivation is police have
9:10 pm
investigated and looked into 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 in 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 pedestrian eyes in westminster because of what she's described these vehicle attacks being weapons of choice so we'll see if that happens and we've also heard from the london mayor said khan see that it also might not be about idea to have security not just in westminster but in london. london to space where two russian cosmonauts have carried out american space walk outside the international space station both were equipped with cameras and you can
9:11 pm
see some of the pictures they've captured behind me paris some images show us a live by say a gaper copy if it's his first mission up there and every now and again we get a glimpse of the other cosmonaut next to him like r.t.m. if it's his said time and space as seven hours forty six minutes it's been one of the longest space walks in history the new spaces where equipped with climate control and cameras that can shoot the re hundred sixty degree bit is also a rubber elements were replaced with pulley your thing which is hoped will get the suits much longer life. as part of this latest space walk the cosmonauts released for nano satellites built as part of a special projects with russian universities and schools two of them serious arts or serious some as then that names will provide data about space whether they were built by sixty and around a month while launching satellites is normally hugely expensive for the students it
9:12 pm
was free and so the initiative of the russian space agency the other two units called. part of an experiment to see whether it's possible for satellites to determine their own positions in orbit. well. here's a part in today's wall has also known his space blog which has details his trips to the i.s.o.'s since two thousand and fourteen. with little because he is the opposite you know that with a look up the. courage the old. earth. or for let her

now the tech ish president spokes person says washington has almost completely halted relations it comes amid a rising standoff over terrorists take a has hiked rates on key american products including cars and alcohol. truth here in. the u.s. has brought relations with turkey to an almost complete hoax or disappointment is profound. the route with aggravated is when encouraged to taint an american past alleged links to terrorism among other meshes washington slapped additional tariffs on the minium steel that sent the tech plummeting to wreck or plays against the us dollar tech stocks have tumbled to. release pastor andrew bronson now or be prepared to face the consequences. who will respond to the u.s. declaring the trade on the whole world by answering new markets and finding allies
9:15 pm
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. electronic goods. i condemned those who are waging an economic war against turkey for this reason i've changed all my u.s. dollars into turkish 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 a hit in the war. the u.s. state department spokesperson was pressed by jan lists on the global effects of the tech. bilateral issue between the united states has now ruled emerging markets we've had everything from mexico to india currencies for more of
9:16 pm
the developing world of gene affected by this and what stage does one stop this and so that you know the the rest of the world doesn't sink to the bottom of the 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 foma to kish foreign minister. told us up the u.s. is the u.s. president's quote undiplomatic behavior is losing him friends across the globe. it is more. the political goal rather than economic. because if. two through come more world and they want to use this leverage for political purposes this is something we're all doing unfortunately.
9:17 pm
on planet earth if we from growth this new. era of. everyone including. the schools are. not sober. so if we listen entirely with you know it will distance more of the. c.n.n. presenter chris cuomo has sparked controversy for saying on air that violence coming from the left wing anti family 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 had minor clashes with police on journalists while countering a white nationalist rally in washington all punches are not equal truong a moral equivalency between those espousing hate and those fighting it because they
9:18 pm
both resort to violence emboldens hate legitimize hateful belief and elevates what should be stamped out well they are my colleague andrew farmer got reaction both for and against chris cuomo as comments. 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 hide behind some kind of moral high ground don't tell 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 an
9:19 pm
associate be against they're talking about being an anti-fascist but a lot of their action mirrors that of what was on the mussolini's time with the whole black church situation it seems like they're doing the same thing i'm not saying it directly to same as what was going on back then in italy but a lot of their tactics seem to mirror what they were doing just because i mean what is i believe that 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 that he had hired 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
9:20 pm
society violence can be used to prevent greater violence it's a book 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 about. morally acceptable to her. those who were talking about hate but what about the innocent people as the 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 i'm mechanician you see people are they 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 about whoa it's ok is somehow justified for devaluating because most of the time when i see jimmy gage and his violence use against those who just have different points of view you know i'd have to see the statistics on that. you know we have seen a outbreak in street fighting between fascists and anti-fascists that absolutely
9:21 pm
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. state of new mexico has received death threats off to granting bail to five adults suspected of child abuse they're accused of giving tara training to children to carry out gun attacks where the course decision provoking such outrage. has been taking a close look 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 thirties left shocked was disheartening to see.
9:22 pm
in this day. that people could live that way. no running water no electricity it was. they were in bad shape the 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. i'm guessing for me is the reason for. prosecutors say this children now in protective custody received weapons training with a view to committing mass shootings they had open access to the firearms and then 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
9:23 pm
would be really ready to come back with you since you are from the group on what institutions group needed to get rid of these are situations including teachers military law of course financial institutions now there is more to the story sewerage and what is the son of a new york imaam of the same name whose 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 sr was an unindicted coconspirator in the nine hundred ninety three world trade center bombing meaning he was never charged but believed by off to be linked to the attack and the perpetrators perhaps surprisingly their mom confessed his son's religious beliefs may have been intense but i think that my son can be
9:24 pm
a little bit. a little bit extreme. when not radical killing people stuff going to the big i've never seen anything like that is. you know he just a little bit sometimes a 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 charts and such cases are 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
9:25 pm
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 difference raised so you get points would this case of attracted such media attention 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. sent champ a swell nest seconds by us high street fashion giants gap showing a young muslim girl wearing a headscarf thousands of people have now signed the petition demanding and the ad campaign. the back to school campaign was shot in new york but when it got kids publish the photos and videos on this french social media sites it sparked a massive outcry was an encoding is

a divisive issue in france with her job style head coverings banned in schools the country is secularity or separation of state and church is enshrined in the constitution whereas the us first amendment guarantees the freedom of religion and expression we went onto the streets of paris to gauge opinion on gaps may have been messy in. court just because they should go. to by classes which is no big deal very little girl their way she sees things you must know the concern. on the back three it's not something we are used to women wearing veils but really children are some of these awful. i'm against showing a little girl learning and we think it's a shame to get says young children or tomorrow to stick to issues concerning. the

well we've asked for comment and we'll let you know when they respond but french politicians are already calling to boycott the brands gap shelves a little they'll go markets and promote submission to islam is where are the meat to pig movements get continues its submission to islam islam with its posters of veiled little girls i have denounced several times this rise in power or the veil imposed on little girls which is an abuse and trampling on our values of equality freedom and secularism multiculturalism experts says the french tradition is to embrace not shut down provocative act of attire saying. but as far as the government is concerned their question should be ok is it legal or illegal in france putting the mail on in school is illegal so if that takes your were something that were happening in school then to get france would have to ask us to
9:28 pm
make it different the picture because they can't. put a schoolgirl in a veil tranced should embrace its diversity so in my opinion. these type of pictures should be welcome in france and i used to work in the perfume industry and france was always very very free about showing a lot of the female body and profumo advertisements and if we had clients in other countries who didn't agree with it or who had laws where you couldn't expose a lady's difficulty or body too much and we simply provided them with another picture. you know based on the legality if france has a problem with that you know they can always ask that. around type of the global headline safe if you know is that at the. top of the latest story i'll be with you in just a minute. camera
