so a group islamic state says it carried out friday's stop in london which left 2 people dead the perpetrator was known to be. some democrats are calling for the publican 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 left a toxic cloud over the city. are you watching the international good to have you with us. the terrorist group islamic state says that 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 the british pm has criticised that practice of automatic early release 28 year old was one car 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 boris johnson who at the time was london's mayor was still wearing his electronic tag when he carried out friday's attack. video showing the aftermath of the stabbing have been posted on social media you can see here in one of them civilians wrestled with the killer pinning him to the ground one man managed to seize a knife from the terrorist he was subsequently shot dead by police eyewitnesses describe what they saw. a mass rushing people falling over each other matching bottles talking to. people really thinking in the area of the big flood of

people rushing around calling every basically there was a lot of movement during the panic. what those chemicals are just like a wave of something going on. 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 a chance or just don't know what to do think twice gunshots going off and once again. it's the 1st terrorist attack on british soil since boris johnson became prime minister although not of course the 1st in recent u.k. history.

i. believe the world. who discussed the incident with former british intelligence officer and also the former head of the u.k.'s national counter-terrorism security office chris phillips it's turned out that after all the so-called lone wolf attacks these lone wolves have indeed already be known to the intelligence agencies. 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 he's been 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 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 i 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 they just want to pick up a knife 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 and some are even now 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 work is known to appeal to conservative americans it often challenges the common u.s. men's mainstream media narrative for example regarding the alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of doomer in 2017 which the west blames on syria's president assad is what triggered the latest democrat campaign. why do i care about your way out of the conflict between ukraine and russia piano areas like i don't like to why and why should i run for russia with a 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 the usa. it's not the only case of pro republican media being targeted by democrats in september conservative one america news found a defamation lawsuit against miss and b.c. and its host rachel manda the demand more than $10000000.00 in compensation after she called it paid to russian propaganda chadwick moore a columnist at news magazine spectator usa says insinuating a russian affiliation is a go to democrat strategy these days it's just out to smear it 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 with the teacher and hearings which is also blown up in their face democratic party on 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 war relations it's just 2 of those biggest issues the democrat party of the left is fundamentally and type free speech . you know the washington post has started its own crusade against republicans branding them russian propagandists the design against the of explains it boils down to muddle 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 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 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 engage 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 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. 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 to 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 interests 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 it's she 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. tragic news from russia where 19 people have been killed and 22 others injured in a bus crash in the country's east 2 children are among the dead the verse carrying

41 passengers fell off a bridge into the river some passengers were trapped inside which is investigative committee has launched the probe into the cause of the accident eliminate the report suggest the bus a blown tire leading to the driver losing control of the vehicle. a 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 has been contained but it is still active in some areas and there remain smoke india officials say 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 homes. our house was actually really damaged but all the garage doors pretty much all of the doors put 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 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 would be good. the refinery owned by the t.p.c. group produces thousands of tons of chemical and petroleum based products health

and developmental campaign all of a tickle says that 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 bloom needed just to determine the background toxicity in the local area following this since the 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. and it's 2 months since another massive fire engulfed a chemical factory in the french city of rule on local residents there fear for

their health and have taken to the streets demanding transparency it is done of reports from. we're working 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 column 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 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 new ways early. 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 when money and how our life are becoming like that i was virtually moved through the surgery to switch sides we want the truth to be revealed about what happened in the lubrizol accident because now everyone's just passing the buck that no one wants to take responsibilities or it's the truth about the accident has

not been established they're going to just today we should have health monitoring trees which we currently don't. tonight more extensive blood tells you we expect resignations organization i just was really people are concerned about the 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 low brazil plant. so they come with bolivia in the grip of political instability we talked to a local man who was brutally beaten and publicly humiliated by rivals of ousted president evo morales that story more for a short break. so
