very. terror group islamic state says it carried out friday. which left 2 people dead the . public and fox news t.v. . france residents of. chemical factory.

welcome to the program. now the terrorist group islamic state says it carried out friday central london 2 people killed in that incident and 3 others. time for previous terrorist offenses before being freed early last year. has criticized the practice. clear to me that. this guy was. half of his sentence automatic early release and i have this system simply isn't working it does not make sense for us as a society to be putting terrorist people of terrorist offenses a serious offenses on early release. 28 year old carmen was released from prison last december he was jailed for planning a bomb attack on the london stock exchange and 2010 his other targets back then reportedly included the u.s.

embassy and boris johnson the mayor of london at the time khan was still wearing his the electronic tag when he carried out friday's attack. videos showing the aftermath of the stabbing have been posted to social media as you can see some civilians wrestled with the killer pinning him to the ground one man managed to seize a knife from a terrorist who was that shot dead by police i witness is the scribe what they saw . the rushing of people falling over each other smashing. people. on the panic. kind of counsel i don't like a wave of something going on. and then suddenly everybody said go down into the basement it was extremely frightening but if you don't know what to do you know you have to just i don't want to do think twice once i was going off and once again it

was the 1st terrorist attack on british soil since boris johnson became prime minister though not in recent history. feel. or discuss the incident with former british intelligence officer. the former head

of the u.k.'s national counter-terrorism chris phillips. it's turned out that after all these so-called lone wolf attacks these lone wolves have indeed already be known to the intelligence agencies and police and yet have not been prevented from carrying out the attacks happened and yet in terms of dropping the ball in this case i can't imagine a more egregious example where someone should be monitored on a day to day basis by the authorities after being released from prison so i think this is a major concern and there are some serious questions our intelligence agencies in the west need to answer they have said for the last few years that they need all these new laws they need all these new secret powers to snoop on all our e-mails our electronic communications to protect us from terrorists and yet and yet all these people already know or at least seem to still get away with carrying out attacks now it's there it's a real problem for a criminal justice system which is not doing what it should do and that's keeping the public safe for some reason our criminal justice system judges and the way our

system works allows people out halfway through their sentence which means bible 6 years after e committed this apparent he was back on the streets and he was still radicalized so very difficult for the police to to monitor people like this in the course of the just want to pick up a knife that pretty much impossible to stop as well so so the criminal justice system here is at fault. for us democrats have labeled fox news an existential threat to the united states describing it as a russian stooge so what are calling for those trying to register as a foreign agent. fox news should register with far as an agent of the russian federation if it's going to peddle the kremlin agenda and propaganda while hurting u.s. national security interests then it should be treated the same as r t m's. the fox news t.v. network is known to appeal to conservative americans it often challenges the common us mainstream media narrative for example regarding the alleged chemical attack in

the syrian city of doomer in 2017 the west of course blames that on syria's president assad and here's what triggered the latest democrat campaign against fox news i don't like what they are about to go out of the conflict between ukraine and russia i don't like to whitewash that one for russia which i think folks news host says he roots for russia against the west he said the quiet part out loud this clip is just one more exhibit supporting the case that it's no longer left vs right but democracy versus authoritarianism i think many still underestimate the threat to the republic at this point fox is openly fascist d.n.d. g.o.p. are existential threats to the us a now it's not the only case of pro republican media being targeted by democrats earlier in september conservative one american news filed a defamation lawsuit against them s n b c and its host rachel maddow demands more than $10000000.00 in compensation after

she called that paid russian propaganda subject more columnist that spectacle usa says that insinuating a russian affiliation is a go to democrat strategy and less than 8. it's just not the smear it's then that's all it is and they make these outrageous claims with absolutely no backing your no support about being a foreign agent and of course the intent is not to actually get these organizations to register as foreign agents that's absurd the intent is to just plant this seed to plant this ridiculous notion which they've been doing all along they've been doing this with the russian gates a lot that blew up in their face earlier this year now at the beach right hearings which is also blown up in their face democratic party and the left used to be the party of free speech the priest speech movement was started in the 1960 s. by left wing activists and 'd and they're also the anti-war movement and they used to be the party of anti-war we've seen this dramatic shift the entire paradigm has

been flipped on its head free speech and war and war relations it's just 2 of those biggest issues the democrat party the left is fundamentally anti free speech i mean while the washington post the started its own crusade against republicans branding them russian propagandists as more ghastly if explains it boils down to some muddled thinking about events and ukraine. we're going to go in a journey you're not a trip into another dimension a magical place written in the rated by the washington post where there are assuming the russian agents in the united states they will soon outnumber americans themselves president trump has been disloyal to the united states not only and given russia a leg up in his war against ukraine but also in broadcasting his propaganda and for that republicans are just as guilty like to point out that it was the democrats who bad the sale of lethal weapons to ukraine and republicans who gave you create

hundreds of millions of dollars in those weapons but what's the point is no p. is seeing this bubble of unreality an anomaly in the spaced. time continuum of common sense that the washington post exists in it is up to means to media to directly challenge republicans who yes engaged in un-american activity there deliberately assisted in a russian propaganda operation in this wondrous realm that jennifer rubin has brought to life everyone who disagrees with her is a traitor a traitor as anyone who mentions that democrats accepted foreign meddling in the election willfully eagerly accepted foreign help to try to get clinton elected democrats cooperated and ukrainian election meddling official show the surprising lack of interest and indications of ukrainian election meddling that deeply concerned the president at whose pleasure they serve during the election ukraine

released davening information about trump's then campaign head pull manifold causing huge damage to the tycoon in fact we have would you sit nick a ukrainian official using his powers of office then bragging about quote helping hillary. i didn't help him trump i helped hillary it would be better for us a fact that ukraine's courts ruled to be interference election meddling ukraine's own chords said that but in jennifer's magical kingdom this isn't true she crossed out the old you his admission the court ruling and cited reports that it's all a russian psyop and because she crossed it out it's no longer true just because you try proving her wrong if congressional republicans have evidence our

intelligence community is wrong they need to present it otherwise they need to be called out for deliberately assistant hostile foreign power evidence is something that supports jennifer's point of view if it doesn't it isn't evidence see when special counsel robert mueller root in his report that russian hackers seemingly and apparently quoted from the report hacked hillary's servers that's evidence but when you give her or her car in the recording a confession and a court ruling you're an american in the course of this investigation i would ask that you please not from a politically driven false or clear answer. so if mueller is good enough for you let me do him some justice it appears the jennifer rubin is a 2 faced hypocrite allegedly she may also be a foreign agent it seems that she and her current have done and are doing

more damage to america as a nation than anyone else after all and correct me if i'm wrong but isn't rabidly undermining the us government spreading fear and hate on an industrial scale to every american home smearing half your country is traitors isn't that about as un-american as you can be. a. chemical plant in southeast texas was hit by 2 major explosions on wednesday the last happened around 13 hours apart and caused extensive damage.

on friday an evacuation order was was given for more than 50000 residents that was lifted as the fire had been contained it's still active though in some areas there's still smoke in the air officials say it's hard to say when exactly it will be fully extinguished we spoke to a local resident who tell us about the extent of the damage to nearby homes. or health which actually really damaged all the garage doors pretty much all of the doors down the middle all the windows blew out some of the roof you know. so we had a lot of damage you hear about the explosions but it's half and around the area before but not to this extent it's never affected around the refineries i definitely did not expect you know something like this to happen but i guess it comes. a little finery owned by the t.p.c.

group produces thousands of tons of chemical and petroleum based products health environmental campaigner all of it to cal says i substantial investigation will be needed. some really quite toxic compounds are used on this site and the manufactured on this site i think that really quite a lot of investigation will be mean to just to determine the background toxicity in the local area following this and the local community will have another hate relationship with this plant these plants are responsible for quite a lot of wealth in this area. they provide a huge amount of employment they are the economic lifeblood of this golden triangle area but at the same time there are these pollution incidents i think that this incident may actually bring quite a lot of additional political pressure on to the trumpet ministration not to cut the resources of the here as it's intending to do and it's 2 months since another

massive fire engulfed a chemical factory in the french city of rule on local residents fear for their health and took to the streets demanding transparency that of reports from the scene. we're working with a crowd of well it looks like a 100 maybe a bit more i can't really see all the way to the end of this call him through on and indeed there are concerned people from all really the whole society spectrum is here all of them are indeed demanding transparency from the government and from lubrizol the company the chemical plant that while of that released all these chemicals into into the atmosphere some 2 months ago. many of the locals complained about the burning sensation in their throat for instance or about feeling nauseous after the release of the chemicals just simply

because of breathing the contaminated ad and they're accusing the government of failing to release the air samples they which were taken right after the fire and the government's position and look results position has been that while there was no immediate health threat that all of those effects would pass and that there was no environmental impact but people here are not buying this i found this in my garden and every day i can find it it comes from the lubrizol. fire and so my children's doesn't go in the garden so that's that's why i am i am very very angry and i created this this exhibit to show that we are boring about people who we money and how our life are becoming like that. through the surgery this was right we want the truth to be revealed about what happened in the lubrizol accident because now everyone's just passing the buck no

one wants to take responsibility and the truth about the accident has not been established today we should have health monitoring which we currently don't we. tonight more extensive blood tests we expect resignations over this. people are concerned about their health but it wasn't just about that local businesses local samas suffered immensely for instance some 1800 farmers who were banned from harvesting their own crop by the french government because all of that well because because of the fears of contamination so you can clearly see why people here are demanding more transparency and they would want an in-depth look as to what's going on at that lubrizol plant and protesters in hong kong are celebrating donald trump signing 2 bills in support of their movement last story after the short break.

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

welcome back to the weekly thousands in hong kong are celebrating and waving american flags after trump signed bills back in the protestors in the region in china though some in the u.s. ambassador in response beijing says the bills amount to interference and has threatened washington with consequences. the u.s. has been disregarding the facts and distorting the truth openly backed violent criminals who rampant just smash the cities starting fires which assaulted innocent civilians trample on the rule of law and jeopardized the social order remind the us that hong kong is not of china and hong kong affairs the chinese long term

listeners are no foreign government should interfere we urge the you not to continue going to china and it countermeasures and the us must bear all consequences you mean the hong kong human rights and democracy agatha opens up sanctions for human rights violations and makes it easier for arrested protesters to obtain u.s. visas also requires an annual review of the region's special trade status and hong kong will qualify only if it's got enough autonomy from beijing if special status is a revoked it would be subject to the same sanctions imposed by the united states on the mainland china. economy is already suffering as a result of the violent protests that have been raging for 6 months companies and investors are setting their sights on more stable places like singapore tourists are also staying away and the war activist sara flounders thinks the new bills could be the situation in hong kong. but is c aim of this sanctions

it really is an effort to totally sabotage hong kong demonstrators they're not demanding democracy imagine they're demanding sanctions on their own city sanctions everywhere in the world is economic warfare and it's strangulation why on earth would anyone in hong kong make a demand that sanctions be passed on hong kong there is an inch and they may not be aware these are young people without a future. and that's because of what has been imposed on them from the west last weekend hong kong held elections to district council seats with opposition candidates the percent when was largely symbolic though as councils you'll mostly with local issues and have little political leverage meanwhile bolivia has been experiencing similar rest as hong kong described by the us democratic transition at this point the self-appointed right wing leaders have been accused of sustained

abuses against protesters. in washington's approach to both hong kong and bolivia. sticks stones on the road can bones amidst the increasing violence hong kong took the weekend off to head to the polls and the results were overwhelming a landslide victory for those who have made it their mission to wrest themselves from beijing's grip a victory party not just for the city but for the whole walled those desperate since china have finally been put in their place communist china should take a close look and reconsider their current posture or turn to me in human rights belong to hong kong the monumental defeat of bric communist china lawmakers sends a powerful message to beijing keep your 30 terran regime on the mainland so they say beijing needs to keep it all for terry and tendencies out of hong kong others the same tendencies that saw an armed. this one industriously tidying up rubbish

after another night of flames and fury all the ones that saw almost 3000000 people free me cost the votes and what was a rack or turnout of over 71 percent or maybe those that led both the chinese and hong kong authorities to gracefully accept defeat the government will listen to the opinions of members of the public come blee and seriously reflect which leaves previous accusations of beijing's disregard for its people's freedom the chinese government should respect their right to speak out somewhat knol unfortunate but when you've got a beer in your bonnet about a rising power that's set to eclipse you both economically and technologically perhaps it doesn't really matter but what is happening in hong kong is the. worst critic will the united states to smear or discredit china and the reason

is that china is extremely extremely successful going from the ban on the corporate world to whatever the child alerts are diverse you could be new intimidate a child of beat of the economic from those who seek knowledge the sanctions a great war or the south china sea or hong kong situation over 19000 kilometers away bolivia has been restless too and there's also been some significant shuffling of power. offering himself up as political sacrifice in a bid to calm the protests the democratically elected president evo morales has stepped down and fled pass rising from obscurity to fill the void came to new. anya as a 52 year old lawyer and senator whose name didn't really rang any bells even and bolivia

why would it they didn't vote for her in fact no one voted for how she came to power because the street people who constitution have the right to take the reins that is the president the vice president and the head of the senate one forced to move on out and what many are describing as a coup but apparently to some that's just mere detail we call on all bolivians to support the bolivian transitional government as a god's the democratic transition through electoral reforms and to a new free and fair elections as soon as possible and as the west praises bolivia for throwing off its socialist chuckles and turning its face towards the democratic sun let's see how that liberty is shaping up.

there will be. the. it seems that when the shoe fits or thora tarion as a man democracy can actually be used interchangeably. by saying with a stray bullet coming up next on a documentary channel exploring the criminal justice system in new jersey that's when i back in 30 minutes with the latest global news updates to see that. the such. what holds us institutions to. put themselves on the law is. to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to be right to be for us as a white woman 43 a boy can't be good that i've understood all those in the waters about how. there should. be always still god's means that sometimes have a duty that's roof can sneak. on diplomatic record the records are cool with these prayers and then you call them what. kind of commitment is that to get by the thing about it. canadian each of them to look at him as old. as in the i'm 32 my tough but i get to be i get told

the truth on the author to get those people to fail phenomenon good children tell him that's all that's you can say when next time you don't come follow through the marketing or. the work started for a wall on the side of those dishes just for coffee yes you know the best solution was there are patients in search one of the balls yes was the owner of good judgment correct needed in some nurturing teens. group certainty where the best so who was in the. you're really on the side on the why of the 20 points he never prompts and. can tell you that a. usage without folding her it's

a good time to use consistent with her courage to courage or a bit of crimes were you able to establish where the phone was across. the $22.00 chairs system poorish you say that just comes with time. that. plane landing can be has been and i remember when christmas i just threw in some promising internet in fact it's well it's. no texas nonsense it's. been to your heart are. your still on the road or have mr brace post. to testify that hard to find there more is a number of pretenders there and. you didn't have any role whatsoever of the investigation of this case that involved with the murder of
