so join us in the. forum in the shallows. terror group islamic state says it carried out friday stabbing attack in london which left 2 people dead published later was known to the authorities. some of us democrats are calling for the program public and fox news t.v. network to be registered as a foreign agent. in france residents are still demanding answers and action from the government 2 months after a massive chemical factory left the toxic cloud over their city. hello welcome to the weekly rundown of top stories here in our teens and. thanks

for joining us on the program now the terrorist group islamic state says it carried out friday stabbing in central london 2 people were killed in that attack 3 others badly injured the perpetrator had served time for previous terrorist offenses before being freed early on license last year british prime minister has criticised the practice of automatic early release it's clear to me that. this was. half of the sentence automatic early release and i have long this system simply isn't working it does not make sense for us as a society to put it in putting terrorist people of terrorist offenses a serious offenses out on early release. 20. was released from prison last december he was jailed for planning a bomb attack on the london stock exchange in 2010 his other targets back then

reportedly included the u.s. embassy and at the time the mayor of london was still wearing his electronic tag when he carried out friday's attack a video showing the aftermath of the stabbing have been posted on social media as you can see some civilians wrestled with the killer putting him to the ground one man managed to seize a knife from a terrorist who was then shot dead by police described what they saw. like a wave of something. suddenly everybody said go down into the basement it was extremely frightening but if you don't know what to do you have. to think.

well this is the 1st terrorist attack on british soil since boris johnson became prime minister in recent history. we discussed the incident earlier with former british intelligence officer sean the former head of the u.k.'s national counter-terrorism security office 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 the police and yet have not been prevented from carrying out the attacks that they planned 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 know 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 5 or 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's pretty much impossible to stop as well so so the criminal justice system here is at fault. u.s. democrats have labeled faux news an existential threat to the u.s. describing it as a russian stooge salmon are calling for the shuttle 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 our t. and nick. fox news t.v. networks known to appeal to conservative americans it often challenges the common u.s. mainstream media narrative for example regarding the alleged chemical attack in the

syrian city of doom or in 2017 which the west blames on syria's president assad is what triggered the latest democrat campaign against fox news i don't live here about you know you out of the conflict between ukraine and russia areas like i don't like to why i why should i run 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 lot the only case of provocative media being targeted by democrats earlier in september conservative one american news filed a defamation lawsuit against them as n.b.c. and its host rachel maddow demands more than $10000000.00 in compensation after she called it paid russian propaganda said look more columnist at spectator usa says

the insinuating of russian affiliation is a go to democrat strategy in this day and age. 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 and 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 with 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 and they're also the anti-war movement and they used to be the party of anti-war and we've seen this dramatic shift the entire paradigm has been flipped on its head free speech and war and foreign relations is just 2 of

those biggest issues the democrat party of the left is fundamentally and type free speech i mean while the washington post the standard son crusade against republicans branding them russian propagandists as more gas they have now explains it boils down to some muddled thinking about events in ukraine. we're going to go in a journey you and i a trip into another dimension a magical place written a new 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 banned 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 new piercing this bubble of unreality an anomaly in the space 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 the 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 whose pleasure they serve during the election ukraine

released damning information about trump's then campaign head paul 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. little more 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 courts 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 and an audio 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 interests so of mueller's 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 see that she and her 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. chemical plant in southeast texas was hit by 2 major explosions on wednesday the blasts happened 13 hours apart and caused extensive damage.

on friday an evacuation order for more than 50000 residents was listed as the fire had been contained it's still active in some areas there when there is smoke in the air officials says it's hard to say when it will be fully extinguished we spoke to a local resident who told us about the extent of the damage to nearby housing our house was actually really damaged but all the garage doors pretty much all of the doors down the middle all the windows blew out some of the the roof you know. so we had a lot of it you hear about the explosions but and it's happened 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 living in the area of the refinery owned by the t.p.c.

group produces thousands of tons of chemical and petroleum based products health and environmental campaign all of it to cal says a substantial investigation is needed. some really quite toxic compounds are used on this site and the manufacturers on this site i think that quite the really quite a lot of investigation will be needed just to determine the background toxicity in the local area following this instant local community will have a love 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 e.p.a. as it's intending to do. this 2 months of course since another massive fire

engulfed a chemical factory in the french city of rule one local residents fear for their health and took to the streets demanding transparency it was done of reports from. a walking 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 them 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 chemical just simply

because of breathing the contaminated air 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 cause 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. removed 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

and no one wants to take responsibility and the truth about the accident has not been established just 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 farmers 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. children will live here in the grip of political instability we talked to a local mayor who was brutally beaten and publicly humiliated by our bridles of ousted president evo morales story and more after the break.

the official for russia is not. doing. he's not doing. the contrary to his predecessors he did not start a new war. it is a little bit. more predictable in the. perspective of the other hands of the world is changing it is a troubling force and. the personally mr trump who is making the dangerous place he is just the symptom of the change that's. joining me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

spoke to sorrow connect from the german left party she told us the art pieces bring to life the hypocrisy surrounding freedom of speech. is. this culture attracts attention to this incredible scandal it is to journalists and whistleblowers to uncover crimes are sitting in jail today while those who committed these crimes are not held accountable and this has nothing to do we do rule of law and therefore it is very good though we are now so close to the right because here is the federal government which could have started to act on this issue a long time ago and for example could provide a sound snowden asylum in germany. well song is currently being held in london's belmarsh prison where he setting a 50 week sentence for breaching bail conditions in 2012 is also fighting u.s. extradition request over wiki leaks publishing classified information on american political and military dealings the u.n.

i see it in these little ones the home station expressed some changes. to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on off and spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. long.

hello to welcome to worlds apart 3 years after the election of donald trump east political opponents have spare no effort in trying to keep his presidency from the kremlin agents nearer to the abuser of office charge nothing half so far proven strong enough to shorten his 1st term will the democrats attempt more of the same to prevent trying from running again to discuss that i'm now joined by admit 3 russian journalist and avid trump what church. to see in the studio thank you very much for coming it's great to be here now i know that you do not consider yourself to be triumph and i heard you say that some of the things that he said about women the you find you personally find disgusting in the if this is not the kind of

impression you gave once you learned about he's victory 3 years ago. that reaction was by the way caught on camera and became famous. for. oh oh. we are the champions. wife of who and who are we are we the experts that 'd predicted the victory of doug and sean planned to sales and 60 because whatever you know people in washington think it was so really a great struggle for russian international experts. to really examine the american situation in 2016. and the image of the emergence of these populist movements in europe nobody believed everybody's just relax business as usual will continue and we try to persuade people that business unusual in the world is over and trump

is just a symptom is that while he is saying is that this quote unquote joyous celebration is not about your personal sympathy that you did not rule it in the slightest bit for him or what he may represent in global politics yes i did that you actually like. actually what he represents for the present to change so i don't see that chomp as a victory of all good or all bad that stuff the point that's not that's not about expertise but the change in the world he's a symptom and the thing that we predicted it and we made a certain traditions that one predictions had one that was the main thing about that celebrity now as far as i understand this was you with your friends having time not of your friends from what i understand as. russian government official in the yellow c.n.n. and many other western allies that played that video.
