just to come to. equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. putting pressure on congress and the u.s. intelligence chief calls for the n.s.a. surveillance powers to be renewed into 2020 with a program set to expire at the end of this year. president putin awards 2 pilots with the highest stakes award the hero of russia for saving hundreds of lives with a perfect emergency landing in moscow off to both of the plane's engines but. there was no panic on board even though the landing was rough defilers did

a great job landed the plane on the belly. and india stresses its pledge to not use nuclear weapons 1st in warfare but warns that may change as hostilities escalate with pakistan over the disputed kashmir region. and other global headline news live from moscow this is the international call them for a welcome to news this out 1st of all for you the u.s. intelligence chief is none too keen on fully relinquishing the power to monitor americans' phone calls and text messages he's putting any pressure on congress to reauthorize the national security agency's surveillance program which is set to expire at the end of the year reporting next his credible. while the trump white house as well as dan coats the outgoing director of national intelligence are urging congress to renew the freedom act of 2015 and this ability of the national

security agency of the united states to conduct spying on individual citizens now essentially dan coats in his letter argued that even though the program is no longer in effect it's necessary. we were could be necessary at some point to reinstate it and that it would be in the interest of the country overall for congress to renew the freedom act this is what dan coats said as technology changes . and communications habits will continue to evolve and adapt. to these dynamic environment the administration supports reauthorization of this provision as well now civil liberties groups have argued that it is necessary for congress to not renew the freedom act of 2015 they argue that there are sections in the act specifically the spying and surveillance section of the law that put the privacy and civil liberties of millions of americans into jeopardy the government's implementation of the cool detail records program further demonstrates both the

privacy threats posed by the program and the lack of use and it is highly concerning that it's 3 years to detect the fact that the n.s.a. was collecting records even beyond the broad authorization provided under the program the n.s.a. should not be permitted to resume this program now prior to the freedom act of 2015 the n.s.a. spying program collected billions of records and the freedom act of 2015 reduced the amount of data the n.s.a. was collecting under the freedom act the n.s.a. has the ability to collect data and phone records of suspects as well as those suspects contacts even if those contacts have different phone companies however there was a concerning revelation in june of 2018 when it was revealed that under the freedom act the n.s.a. had collected data on millions of americans that it did not legally have authority to oversee they said this was due to

a technical irregularity so there are many concerns now but at this point the white house and the outgoing director of national intelligence are urging congress to renew the the freedom act of 2015 a controversial surveillance law. i kind of open reporting there live now to investigative journalist welcome back to what's congress going to do that is to get away of this through put up a fight what's going to happen. congress is a real pussy when it comes to national security agencies they will you know maybe you'll have an in full of probably civil liberties democrats and libertarians flake rand paul who will raise a fuss about it but basically the vast majority of congress is going to support renewal of this horrible law and you know they'll continue gathering these.

terabytes of files on people the act itself it's been on ice for months apparently according to the n.s.a. it's not been used the wall street journal said the n.s.a. even full might as well scrap it is just too much of a legal burden anyway so why does donald trump want to extend it. well it's an interesting question i mean the n.s.a. is largely what it wants to do for years it was doing a lot of illegal surveillance as well as ed snowden reported long before it was even authorized and so you do wonder why they feel likely need these laws saying that they can do them since they do things that they can't do anyway. and you know as you mentioned the they were surveilling for 3 years massively beyond what the c.d.r. was allowing them to do and they didn't do anything about it the intel anybody about it and only because it got discovered or read it out by some was

a blow or did they have to deal with it so. i don't expect anything to come of you know the issue of whether the freedom actually be renewed they'll probably give it a new and you know like. i did with the freedom bonanza programmers have you keep coming up with these stupid names like the patriot act how is it patriotic to steal everybody's information if let's say it doesn't govern yours and it expires at the end of the air isn't this really just a paper exercise anyway because if heaven forbid there's another national emergency that coas things acts to be brought in in the 1st place something else what i think i meant to replace it if needs must. the patriotic the patriot act was passed with ritually no discussion it was thrown together but there are. 4 and a list of every intelligence agency in the country and when the opportunity presented

itself they brought in this gigantic document of the it was later this thick and nobody looked at it and it was passed i think it went it was brought in 98 it was passed without to be went through no committees they can do that really fast if they want to. and so they really don't need to have this law sitting in cold storage and supposedly not being used so that they can bring it out when they want to use it and be much better to at least force them to to pass it again but they could do that as they showed in a matter of hours. ok so now they've laid off investigative judge i thank you for your thoughts on the freedom act and what a perfect choice for a lot of really appreciate a time ok. and just to say that say if you had an expletive at the start of that interview i do apologize next to the 2 russian pilots who averted

a potential disaster on thursday morning have been given the country's highest state on and they are a fresh air of water by president putin they're about jet lost both engines off a bird strike while taking off from moscow should cost a international airport that forced them to make an emergency landing but all 233 people on board the crimea bound here all allied flight survived autumn's roughly video agency managed to get hold of exclusive video of the evacuation. i don't already have. all the. political. issues to live. with all that student that each student does lose him you know. but his english with a lot of sucking up to. the professional. let's go through what happened and it all took place so quickly that the pilots were unable to return to the airport because they'd barely go to airport reaching an altitude of roughly 260 meters but they acted decisively opting to land the plane

on its belly and a cold failed just over a mile from the runway and without being able to empty the fuel tanks the pilot in command of 41 year old that made a stop off had been previously a lawyer before training as a pilot he's been flying with the real airline since 2013 and became a captain only last year his copilot 23 year old got his pilot's license just 2 years ago. the russian health ministry says 76 people sought medical assistance after the incident one woman is still in hospital but her condition isn't believed to be life threatening among koester of reports from the crash site in southeast moscow. 226 passengers and 7 crew members of ural airlines flight bound for crimea from moscow are celebrating their 2nd birthday the air bus a 321 collided with a flock of birds just shortly after takeoff from the capital's zuckoff ski airport's the captain mir yusupov had just seconds to make the right decision when

he discovered this strike caused engine failure with 16 tons of fuel on board no ability to make it back to the runway he knew that an emergency landing could result in a catastrophe to show you a little but all after we took off the engines became unstable 1st the left one and then the right one we usually simulate the situations when one or 2. despite all i want to hosts the plane was going down we realized that we didn't have much time just one or 2 minutes to make a decision in a blink of an eye this man with nerves of steel decided still land the aircraft in a nearby cornfield without using the landing gear and shutting off all power to prevent an explosion and various officials praised the crew for their professionalism during the spine chilling landing as well as for a well organized evacuation it is something we acted in line with our training we've simulated situations like this before so there were no surprises the

passengers were disciplined listen to our instructions and evacuated very quickly they did as we expected there was no panic on board even though the landing was rough the pilot did a great job he landed the plane really carefully because the cook tell us please how do you feel now did you hurt your leg. you know it's better than if i was there lying on the field so everything is rather good the landing was good the pilots did a great job landed the plane on the belly everything is fine the media was quick to make connections with another such incidents when the loss of life was a virgin thanks to a pilot the miracle on the hudson involving a u.s. airways the aircraft flown by captain chesley sullenberger and jeffrey skiles hit a flock of geese after takeoff from new york city's la guardia airport and lost all engine power i'm able to land at any available airport they had to ditch the jet in

the hudson river just outside of manhattan with all of the 155 passengers a rescued by nearby ferries and bolts thanks to the heroic solved by the captain and his crew their relatives and loved ones self all the people involved will get to see them again ramana koester of artsy moscow region oh ideations safety advocate and pilot give you new is told us the birds are the most common problem facing our ports and pilots landed the plane with skill and result. people describe it as a miracle i don't prefer i don't call america i prefer to call it a shiny example of the professionalism and skill of the 2 pilots to interview support for an angry mood and thankfully those events are incredibly rare. when a lot of those here engines it is such these days that you know the idea of getting you some particular an entire career without even having one engine fell on loan to you at the same time and humans are designed to accept the impact of one or 2 birds

unfortunately birds tend to find the area around airfields quite attractive it's supposed to the environment. as a speeding up issues they feel safe from their airport spend an awful lot of energy trying to keep birds off the airfield that's mitigating vices like scaring someone some out of what suv used predatory birds to frighten off the other birds they have entire teams the work exclusively keeping birds as way from the actual as much as possible of course you know if the birds are just outside they have field there's not a lot the outward so can do. to escalating hostilities between india and pakistan the indian defense minister has stressed that his country will continue to abide by the no 1st use policy when it comes to nuclear weapons however he did have this warning. he just through the till now india has strictly adhered to the no 1st use policy what happens in the future depends on the circumstances of

this is the region in question kashmir or the northern tip of india and pakistan both countries like claim to kashmir with the united nations describing it as a disputed territory now this so-called line of control is the defacto border in the countries maintain their own administrations within the territory but earlier this month india revoked kashmir has a special autonomy status pakistan says that that decision has destabilise the long running status quo in the region the united nations prohibits changes to the status of any disputed state that also fear the kashmir is majority muslim population could be targeted by people of other faiths in the region when the conflict already into its 72nd year without a solution. but beyond. that

we've been hearing from political and strategic adolescents in both pakistan and india on what might be next for the kashmir crisis. it is something our nuclear blackmail which by the sun has been using against india with my bitch they say that looks nuclear so we cannot afford an escalation to a full scale war and so you have to be there with the jihadist terrorism that their sponsors across our border in indian country so. india is trying to call the nuclear bluff of france on basing looks no force to z.

is not set in stone if the circumstances change as our defense minister saying by which he means if our son had doubts in a large scale terrorism wonderful meant you know an uprising against india in the new country we are trying you know incursions into india didn't reach me after enough lit it was battle heats are signaling not to all of conduct any military misadventures of catch me from bugs somebody spark 31 specter which is not of warning but it should be rewarding from the from the perspective of the international community because in the broader picture then there is a war between 2 countries and then never to secure the ices where one particular concrete canyons and you could have weapon they are not going to consider the option that since they had declared all see to have an. india has blown apart all the by little agreements and 17 u.n. security council resolutions which calls on the lebanese that so has left more room

for their dialogue but if international given indeed does not intervene. there is this see india as a big market and that is why they don't want to jeopardize the evolution with them and that is a lie the one in politics isn't being driven by the hard economic realities paranoid by them would only. go without international on the way pirates of the mediterranean iran accuses the us of piracy for trying to make a grab for its recently released oil tanker it's our next story when we come back. you know world big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting

past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. when lawmakers manufacture consent to the public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. can all middle of the room signal. the real news.

iran's top diplomat is shopping criticize the u.s. for attempting to block the release of its oil tanker which was seized by british royal marines off the coast of the last month having failed to accomplish its objectives through its economic terrorism including depriving cancer patients of medicine the us attempted to abuse the legal system to steal our property and the i.c.c. this piracy attempt is indicative of trumpet ministrations contempt for the law. on thursday the u.s. justice department made a last minute application to gibraltar asking it not to release the grace one which was accused of attempting to illegally ship oil to syria but the supreme court in the british overseas territory decided to release the vessel and 4 of its crew members the tanker is expected to set sail soon to drop his chief minister says the detention was lifted after receiving formal written assurances from iran. the grace one is there for now released from detention under the sanctions act by operational

law on the 30th of august i received written assurances from the republic of iran that if released the destination of the grace one would not be an entity that is subject to european union sanctions i welcome that assurance the iranian authorities deny that the greatest one was shipping oil to syria which would be in breach of e.u. sanctions 2 weeks after the vessel was impounded iran sees the british flag tanker in the strait of hormuz claiming it had violated international law the us then later announced its intention to create a naval coalition to combat so named rain and aggression in the strait but political analysts shabbir razvi believes that america's pressure campaign against tehran is faltering. really it's very clear that the policy that the hawks all what mr zarif calls the b. team appears to be losing on all fronts mr pompei are recently wrote an op pad on the 8th of all guest saying that you know the extreme pressure that's being applied on iran economic warfare that is taking place is bearing fruit

but the reality is that all of the 12 points that mr pompey are listed in his speech earlier this year iran is not abiding by any of those and has no intention of really succumbing to the pressure from washington and it is continuing to operate quite effectively albeit with lots of pressure and the economic situation becoming very difficult in iran. a new campaign to tackle britain's soaring rate of knife crime is seeing the home office target the take away warnings from real life stories will be printed on boxes of chicken but the move drawing criticism from the public and politicians alike. the reports next from south london. you'd be forgiven for thinking the u.k.'s only current battle is with brussels but on the streets of britain doesn't move bloody fight unfolding rising knife crime has of rapidly become a place with 86 fatalities in london alone since january and in the past 12 months

there have been over 43000 knife related offenses across the u.k. and with no sign of the violence abating the home office is getting creative to try to tackle the problem we're rolling out our knife free chicken boxes in over 210 chicken chops in england and wales including morley's dixie chicken and chicken cottage he is real life stories to show people how they can go knife free that's right when you pay is going to wing it when it comes to fight night cried the hash tag night 3 campaigning pits digital posters as well as outreach programs where people face at local communities to talk about the risks of carrying weapons it will also see over 300000 boxes and fried chicken shop is just like this across the country redesigned now that the campaign's hash tag night free and when you open it up on the inside you'll be able to read the stories of young people who shunned

a life of crime in favor of school or music nothing better than a snap and a good read write oh it seems not everyone agrees other than accusations of mismanaging fun the choice of chicken chops for the campaign's target space has hit us full with some people is this some kind of joke why have you chosen chicken shops what's next my free watermelons instead of investing in a public house approach to violent crime. the home office have opted for yet another crude offensive and probably expensive complain they would do better to invest in our communities not demonize them because it's a degree idea you know because most of the people are using the nie for the young people so let's talk about why don't those who don't talk about will. be doing anything different is a great idea because we need to educate people. to avoid the crime special night crime i think they could maybe aim you know public money into more important things

critics by labeling the campaign for too long gray said saying it no i need a few that fried chicken is the black community's choice of food but that knife in the back community's choice of what put the marketing company behind the campaign is that it will bring results and has defended its choice of location saying it's a democratic space where the message will reach a wide range of people it was already kind of like it's kind of a new kind of opportunity really just it was great for you talking to young one of the 1000016 to 34 year olds who has an effect on one person one person can see this message and you know put down and i think it can have that ripple effects and it can change many people's lives so for us it has an impact to one person is doing a job the reason they took actions against all the stuff in my free is because there was an unfortunate incident outside one of the bodies inviting him but i was a stopping if you got the opportunity to raise awareness and spread the message then of course we're going to choose an outlet where you all reach and that kind of

those kind of people well as the old song says the clones to the left of me jokers to the right i'm stuck in the middle with you the left the liberal identity politics crowd throw up their hands and cry racism the last time i looked at chicken shop all kinds of young people were eating it and on the right you have people who are similar to nestle running down our police force. by 21000 officers can you believe that since 2000 and then imagining that you can solve the consequent crime problems by writing messages on cardboard these messages on no wolf the cardboard they are being written on we need more police with more resources and more power to get to grips with what is a mob epidemic london last year over to new york can you believe that somebody has

to do something about this much more effective than writing messages on cardboard. that's it from a show and thomas is here in the coming hours to keep you updated on headline stories next though from wrongful convictions to forgiving a child has some of the personal stories of how the us death penalty affects more than just the condemned. paradise with some around into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major here there's no question otherwise why

would the chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental. companies. get away with it because the people.

are learning new details about the killing of an. employee was murdered on the job

. say they have. a sheriff's office says he goes by the nickname. 21 year old james rhodes is charged with the murder of 20 year old. everybody. her standing then she collapsed to her knees she was reaching for the. she fought for over 20 minutes before she died. i think about that every day where she reaches for the.

struggle to take even a few steps towards her daughter's vigil she says tonight the pain of shelby's loss is real i'm going to make sure if it takes the last breath that he needs to get the death penalty. we begin today show with a look at the chaos surrounding executions in the united states now that many of the drugs use relief the injections are no longer available the execution drugs scarcity stems from the receipt of manufacturers in europe and united states to love to be used to people to death. i think the job of defending. the most unpopular amongst our society is absolutely indispensable part of our society. all of my clients have already been tried convicted and sentenced to death in the ohio state court system.
