12:02 pm
a report on russian meddling the latest one number 5060 i don't think anyone bothers keep track anymore regardless that is now boris's problem we thus have a committee of parliament waiting to lay a report before this house which comments directly on what has been seen as a perceived threat to our democratic processes if the report is being called for and written and should be in the public domain the more difficult to hide got to say the irony here is off the charts conservative spent years bashing corbett and the left for being russian stooges so why is the prime minister being difficult people will be justified in drawing the conclusion that the reporters findings are compromising or worse for the governments and the tory party allegedly the report which is titled russia that said just russia contains evidence that russian money is making the rounds in british political circles as it has been doing is the
12:03 pm
legend since churchill was in power in this case in the conservative party in case you had your hopes up for a sober report which would reveal the truth knew that it includes christopher steele yes the author of the debunked steel dossier which detailed trumps ties to russia prostitutes and you're a nation that guy gave testimony for this report but boris is stalling the prime minister apparently a slew reader wants 42 days the review of 50 page dossier before he releases it a very slow reader there are a number of administrative stages and processes which reports such as this which often contain sensitive information have to go. before they're published this usually takes several weeks to complete the committee is well informed of this process now someone's telling fibs and it's either boris who couldn't read faster than the page a day or dominic grieve dominic is almost
12:04 pm
a radical romina in who is interested is to damage the conservative party and their real brags it ahead of the december election the suggestion that 6 weeks unneeded is just astonishing i really begin to worry about what the number 10 spokesman are saying nowadays they're coming out with things which are quite simply whopping untruths westminster doesn't like to rush things or do the normal speed it likes to take things slow take wrecks it 3 years it's been since the vote been everyone still waiting for the prime minister's apparent reading speed a page a day or so sit down mr grieve and relax no one in your government likes to hari. historian martin mccauley suspects the document is lacking substance and that's why when he made public before the election. i think that had the been any
12:05 pm
evidence pretty strong evidence that russia had been it is hearing in the 26th. what is the british. government would have brought a string public attention. but both johnson doesn't want a conflict with russia. because he's only been probably used for a short time he's going to conserve the brakes and so therefore presumably there's nothing very strong in that. it could be that the opposition will try our opposition parties will try to break this subject to public attention if they can because they must discover what is in the report and they would like it to be born as greater russia gate situation of does the present government the average person would say that's passed that's history. but the present parliament which ends on tuesday should have dealt with it and don't let's bother with that now so the general public from the general public view is it's not really relevant to the
12:06 pm
general election at present. no homeowner in the us claims he's been left with massive debts off the police operation destroyed his house in 2015 police surrounded leo let his property that had been renting to his son in search of an on site lift which shot at officers whilst fleeing from a store after 19 hours standoff the house was essentially left in ruins by the military grade weapons used to flush out the suspect was the latch described events for us. a single armed gunman he had a handgun and he just randomly ran into our neighborhood and he started opening up the garage door police they proceeded to call into armored vehicles they called in over 100 officers proceeded to fire 40 millimeter bunker buster ready rounds into the house just room by room by room by room they they proceeded to destroy the
12:07 pm
whole house until finally they ended up you know because there was really nothing left of the house and appeals court upheld an earlier ruling and threw out the family's call for compensation saying offices acted within the powers that granted under the law or local police did often apology and thought flow out of people think they was the main concern. my mission is to get the individual out on harmed and make sure my team and everyone else around including the community goes home and harmed sometimes that means property gets damaged and i'm sorry for that when i say that says the insurance company did pay out but it was just a fraction of what was needed to fix the damage he believes that must be some accountability on the side of the authorities. it's just been a living nightmare it's just been a horrible living nightmare we need laws on the books to keep this kind of stuff from happening a case like this the average citizen has no rights citizens have no rights against any kind of police action they can go you up the street there has to be
12:08 pm
accountability at the police especially here in the united states are getting this this incredible weaponry nobody's ever heard of this kind of firepower used against one guy with a handgun that point in time we have this wreckage of a house or walk into the house and there is unexploded ordnance just like an unexploded mortar shell stuck in one of the walls my son and his family were thrown out into the street they were absolutely thrown out into the street homeless. terminal may have called on chancellor angela merkel to step up the fight against a right wing extremism and hate crime comes after 2 prominent green party politicians with the death threats from a neo nazi group politicians are ringing the alarm not because they've been threatened by local neo nazi groups but because they happen to be on the kill list and some of them are even on the top of that list the leader of the greens the same
12:09 pm
as they made who was by far of turkish descent and close to a roth claim they've been receiving threatening e-mails by a group called nuclear weapons the vision germany in the email of the group writes how and where they will execute attacks against the politicians that to say that this is only the tip of the iceberg and such threats are all over the place the threat may be directed against germany this time but to joints along the east of the times of intimidation against local politicians and civil society against jews and muslims against women artists and immigrants i can rely on a police escort for protection but with both the local politicians and volunteers who are being attacked and have no personal protection it should be possible to enter any stadium to a social event without getting a comments online. the threats prompted strong reactions and responses by german politicians domestic affairs speaker for the free democratic party constantine said
12:10 pm
that there's been a dramatic increase of threats towards public officials in the country is warning that politicians should not be hunted down by extremists though this is not the 1st time we see far right groups targeting politicians in the country just last june a pro refugee politician and member of merkel's christian democratic union party was brutally murdered at his house by a neo nazi extremist and prior to the elections that happened recently the leader of the c.d.u. mike moring was targeted by neo nazi groups of saying that they would stab him in the neck and that they will destroy his rallies with car bombs if he didn't step down and stop the campaigns his campaigns for the elections also in the beginning of the year if their leader in bremen was badly beaten by 3 masked men these string of events are quite alarming because the are showing the trend of neil neil a nazi resurgence the city of that is that has declared
12:11 pm
a state of nazi emergency that is then has always attracted right wingers and it is home to piggy the an islamic movement group it is also a stronghold for the national democratic party the n.p.t. which is a far right group in germany and the i if they which is quite popular in the region and all this is could partly be because of the recent migrant crisis that solver a 1000000 refugees from middle east and north africa arriving in germany something that the alternative for germany party capitalized than capitalized to boost its popularity but and ultra such ultra right sentiment is out of the 3rd reich something the germans would like to leave in the past. well to discuss this further we're now joined live by andre humko from the german left party thank you for coming on the program it's great to have you with us maybe could tell us more about how these threats have affected politicians in germany.
12:12 pm
well 1st of all i would like to say that there is. among politicians. of different parties with these kind of threats. received. a stimulant tell you what this is. really or try a neo nazi group called a. nuclear weapons division. and so far as far as i know this kind of threat is not. said to other part of politicians so far but as you said rightly it's a tip off an iceberg and we had a lot of threats. even 2 to. 4 local politicians of our party that i. made. many that were. placed near a house exploded for us said. in july. not
12:13 pm
everything lived or were. burning down of the car off another city called so. we had to leave the city these are all but it isn't of our party so it is a problem and this problem was long hide it properly and it's good that. there is a very honest of this problem and we have to. step up the fight against these kind of right wing terrorists and have these threats always been kind of the norm for the politicians or has it been exacerbated by the online element. well i think it's. how to say it's an expression of. a growing poisoning of the political debate in germany. part of the right wing movement because of radicalizing and
12:14 pm
so i think it's a more general expression of. the dynamics of the situation here in germany and i think it had to be taken very seriously and. it has to do with come kind of poisoning of all and we would say in german. of the general put it to climate so it would be good that there is. a. struggle against this development. and i think it's absolutely necessary you that those. security. authorities and germany that they really do their drops sometimes it seems that they are a bit blind on the right on that we call it
12:15 pm
a blend of the malaysian organ german that means blind of the right eye that they don't. really do is a drop and i think this is a main problem we should. the security authorities. should be more aware of this kind of measures do you think it be a given to be could be could be made to give public figures more protection. while i think i think the main thing is that those who are responsible the police the intelligence services small that they really short. do their job and that they should really take up the struggle against the right wing terrorism we have to say. i think this is a main issue because in the past sometimes for example there was another attack on the politician of our party and. the intelligence service they knew about
12:16 pm
it they didn't warn him and these kinds of things should not happen they really felt. the focus on the danger of right wing terrorists i think this is the main issue we don't i don't think that we need new laws or things like this we need more public awareness and really doing it off i think that's what 400 hunger from the german left party thank you for your time. thank you well still to come and best occasion to tech giants and apps being used by slave trade is that along the persian gulf we have that story on plenty more of this monday's news after this short break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

12:21 pm
a dead mouse have clipper haunted rubber duck even someone to stand in line for you why not but alongside the good and downright outlandish options out there that also comes the ugly and undercover investigation by b.b.c. has found that in kuwait domestic workers are being bought and sold online and if you thought you'd need to know gone to the dark web to access the slave market think again it turns out that all you really need is an instagram account. some of the trade has been carried out on facebook and instagram where police have been promoted for our good reason boosted hashtags and zones negotiated via private messages probably not what the creators had in mind when they launched the slogan and shared the world's moments simply searching the arabic hash tag made for transfer on facebook owned instagram will bring you to the profiles of hundreds of women from places like the philippines and into nisha and given that 9 in 10 q wait
12:22 pm
is have domestic workers it's a potential gold mine with some sellers even able to double their money little wonder then that they're eager to highlight that investment selling points trust me she's very nice she laughs and has a smiley face even if you keep her up to 5 am she won't complain the past fools don't give it to you her sponsor why would you give her her passport confiscation of passports confinement to the house no time off or even access to the outside world is common place. kuwait is really huey the houses are very bad no sleep no food nothing they used to shout at me and call me and then i'm alone it hurt it made me sad but there was nothing i could do and it's not just in kuwait across the border in saudi arabia hundreds including children are also being sold via instagram now facebook has since the discovery deleted the hash tag and
12:23 pm
reiterated its commitment to preventing such behavior we will continue to work with law enforcement experts organizations and industry to prevent this behavior or more platforms but a simple edit to the hash tag has kept the trade alive but apparently not top of facebook's list of concerns far more pressing it seems the launch of its new project facebook news also not top of the priority list editing the existing guidelines which as with instagram wax lyrical about being kind and thoughtful towards the online community but are a bit moot economic or not engaging in naughty activities like trading drugs weapons or heaven forbid you pair that eggplant emerging with its fruity companion the peach that stuff could get you banned if you walk into the whole weapons thing though i don't know what to facebook but instead of saying you'll sending
12:24 pm
a gun just say you'll selling a gun case that really confuses the clever facebook algorithm or if extremist jihad is content is your thing also head on over to facebook the social media giant has pages with thousands of followers dedicated to promoting the ideology of al qaeda all because those clever terrorists simply registered the pages as educational and tagged its extremist pamphlets as books which are which of those thora contant checkers and silicon valley the same content because that hasn't taken down for. of the massacre of 51 people at 2 mosques in christchurch almost 8 months ago so if someone does take your front line and you decide to place a bed carry on as you watch just make sure that when you agree a good price here and celebrate with any of those naughty and no jeans social network certainly do not do enough to come by illegal activity is. carrying on
12:25 pm
a daily basis when it comes to political issues facebook seem to be very quick to close down accounts on the basis its uses deserve better it is just extraordinary to me it comes to human trafficking accounts that promote facebook isn't adamant about the rights of its users once governments start. very very serious financial fines on social media companies particularly on facebook only day and with those companies start to take. the fight against human trafficking the fight against terrorist activities and phones more seriously . thanks for joining us here on out international way back to the latest impression in.
