so a group islamic state says it carried out friday's stabbing attack in london that left 2 people the perpetrator was known to the operatives. some u.s. democrats are calling for the probe public and fox news t.v. network to be registered as a foreign agent. and in france residents of rwanda still demanding answers and action from the government 2 months after a massive chemical factory fire after toxic cloud over the city. here on r.t. thanks for joining us. the terrorist group islamic state says it carried out friday

stabbing in central london 2 people were killed in the attack 3 others were badly injured the perpetrator had served time for previous terror fences before being freed earlier license last year the british pm has criticised the practice of automatically early release. 28 year old was my car was released from prison last december he was jailed for planning a bomb attack on the london stock exchange in 2010 is other targets back then reportedly included the us embassy and boris johnson who at the time was london's mayor car was still wearing his electronic tag when he carried out friday's attack . video showing the aftermath of the stabbing have imposed upon social media we can see here civilians wrestling with the killer pinning him to the ground and to seize a knife from the terrorist who was then shot dead by police eyewitnesses describe what they saw. rushing people.

thinking about. the big people rushing company. basically it was a lot of moving. in a panic. kind of counseled not to why do you have something going on. and then suddenly everybody said go down into the basement it was extremely frightening because you don't want to take you know you're not just i don't want to think twice gunshots going off and once again this is the 1st terrorist attack on british soil since boris johnson became prime minister although not the 1st in recent u.k. history. we

discussed the incident with former british intelligence officer and 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 be 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 it's pretty much impossible to stop as well so so the criminal justice system here is at fault. u.s.

democrats have labeled fox news an existential threat to the us describing it as a russian stooge some are now even calling for the channel to be registered 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. that works 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 duma in 2017 which the west blames on syria's president assad here's what triggered the latest democrat campaign why do i care about your yacht in the conflict between ukraine and russia people in the areas like i don't like to why and why should i run for russia because i am fox 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 us a it's not the only case of pro republican media being targeted by democrats in september conservative one american news filed a defamation lawsuit against m.s.m. b.c. and its host rachel maddow demands more than $10000000.00 in compensation after she called it paid russian propaganda chadrick more columnists that news magazine spectator usa says insinuating a russian affiliation is a go to democrat strategy these days. 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 detroit hearings which is also blown up in their face democratic party in 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 we've seen this dramatic shift the entire paradigm has been flipped on its head free speech and war and foreign relations it's just 2 of those biggest issues the democrat party the left is fundamentally and type free speech and while the washington post the start of his huntress 8 against republicans branding them russian propagandists but isn't he's my guest dan explains it pulls down it seems to be 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 there's no 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 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 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. usually 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. an interest so if newton 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 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

blast happened 13 hours apart and caused extensive damage. friday an evacuation order for more than $50000.00 residents was lifted as the fire of being contained but it is still active in some areas and there is still smoke in the air officials say it's hard to say when it will be fully extinguished he spoke to a local resident who told us about the extent of the damage to nearby homes. 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 roof you know. so we had a lot of damage you hear about that explosions and but and it's happened but 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 with 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 a tickle says a substantial investigation is required. some really quite toxic compounds are used on this site and the manufacturers on this site i think that quite 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. so so 2 months it's another massive fire engulfed a chemical factory in the french city of ruins local residents fear for their health and have taken to the streets demanding transparency if you start off reports from real. walking with a crowd of well it looks like a 100 maybe a bit more 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 chemical just simply because of breathing the contaminated 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 on loop 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. 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 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 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 that lubrizol plant. so to come with to live in the grip of political instability we'll be speaking to a local man who was brutally beaten and publicly humiliated by rivals of ousted president gave a morale is that story after the break. you know world of big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting

past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the merit of the believe in town he was brutally assaulted by antiwar aulus
