make $6000000000.00 a year of prison camp which is good so when you live where. you don't care anymore so your care might anything. islamic state claims responsibility for friday's stabbing in london which left 2 people dead the perpetrator was known to the authorities. some us democrats are calling for the program public and fox news t.v. that won't 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 father toxic cloud over the city. bring you some of the biggest stories from the past 7 days you're watching the

weekly here on r.t. international thank you for joining us. the terrorist group islamic state says it carried out friday stopping in central london 2 people were killed in that attack and 3 others badly injured the perpetrator had served time for previous tera fences before being freed early on license last year the british prime minister has criticised the practice of automatic early release 28 year old man calm was released from prison last december he was jailed for planning a bomb attack on the london stock exchange and 2010 and his other targets back then reportedly included the us embassy and boris johnson who was mayor of london at the time colin was still wearing his electronic tag when he carried out friday's attack videos showing the aftermath of the stabbing have been posted on social media and as you can see some civilians wrestled with the killer pinning him to the ground one bad managed to seize a knife from the terrorist who was then shot dead by police i would says describe what they saw. rushing people falling over each other smashing.

the way. making the barrier the big flood of people rushing around late morning every year was a lot of moving. the panic. from account wasn'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 heard the gunshots i just don't know what to do it was gunshots going off and once again it's the 1st terrorist attack on british soil since boris johnson became prime minister though not in recent u.k. history.

well we discuss instead with former british intelligence officer annie michel and the former head of the u.k.'s national counterterrorism security office chris phillips. it's turned out that after all these so-called lone wolf attacks these lone wolves have indeed already been known to be intelligence agencies and police and yet have not been presented with carrying out the attacks. 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 it's a real problem for a criminal justice system which is not doing what it should do when 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 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 u.s. describe it as a russian stooge and some are calling for the channel 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. well the network is known to appeal to conservative americans and often challenges the common u.s. mainstream media narrative for example regarding the alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of duma 2017 which the west blames on syria's president assad here's what triggered the latest democratic campaign. why do i care about you know you out of the conflict between ukraine and russia because areas like i don't like to whitewash that well for russia with folks news host says he roots for russia against the west he said the quiet parts 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 and 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 n b c and its host rachel maddow it's demanding more than $10000000.00 in compensation after she called it paid russian propaganda chadwick moore is a columnist and news magazine spectator usa this is that 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 and now with the peace right 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 is us 2 of those biggest issues the democrat party the left is fundamentally anti free speech meanwhile the washington post has started its own crusade against republicans spawning the russian propagandists but to as my guest if not explained 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 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 mainstream 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 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 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 and the cost of this investigation i would ask you please not from a politically driven false or clear interests so of 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. a chemical plant in southeast texas was hit by 2 major explosions on wednesday the blast

happened 13 hours apart and caused extensive damage. on friday an evacuation order for more than $50000.00 residents was lifted as if i had been contained but it is still active in some areas and there is smoke in the air officials say it's hard to say when it will be fully extinguish extinguished but we spoke to a local resident who told us about the extent of damage to nearby homes. or how it

was actually really damaged but all the garage doors pretty much all of the doors down the middle of all the windows blew out some of the roof you know. so we had a lot of damage you hear about the explosions and but and it's half and around the area before but not to this extent it's never affected all boaters around the refineries i definitely did not expect you know something like this that happened 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 chemicals and petroleum based products health and environmental campaigner all of a tickle says a substantial investigation is needed. and 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. and it's 2 months since another massive fire engulfed a chemical factory in the french city of ruin local residents fear for their health and took to the streets demanding transparency it goes down off reports from. we're walking with a crowd of well it looks like a 100 maybe a bit more time when you 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 chemicals 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 on lubrizol is 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 loopers over accidents because now everyone's just passing the buck 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 samas suffered immensely for instance some 1800 farmers who were

banned from harvesting their own crops 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 brazil blunt. still to come here on the weekly with polygamy in the grip of political instability we talked to a local man who was brutally beaten and publicly humiliated by rivals of ousted president ever no doubt this story and more after this short break. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

hello and 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 trump from running again well to discuss that i'm now joined by admit 3 that needs a russian journalist and an 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 do you find you personally find disgusting in the end 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 its celebration. oh oh. of course we are the champions. why. and who are we are we the experts that predicted the victory of doug and sean planned to sales and 16

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 truth in the slightest bit for him or what he may represent in global politics yes i did that you actually like. 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 things that we predicted it and we made a certain traditions that one predictions had won 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 make it appear as if it was almost the official russian reaction from what you remember of baghdad how did the kremlin react to the election of don chimed and was it just as ecstatic as you appear to be well i never been to too kremlin actually so i'm sure you are watching not only the american political scene but also the russian what i can see about russian expertise which is really close to kremlin looked like.
