british prime minister reveals that 74 convicted terrorists have been released early just like the london bridge attacker who killed 2 people on friday. u.s. journalist claims clinton tried to distance herself from him after he planned to investigate hollywood producer harvey weinstein's sex offenses. residents of. the former mining town in canada speak out against plans to change its name due to its negative connotations. russia and china strengthen their ties by launching a strategic natural gas pipeline dubbed the power of siberia leaders of the 2 countries will inaugurate the moment via video link later in the day.

hello live from moscow what's your to international daniel hawkins welcome to this from no. we start in the u.k. where dozens of people convicted of terrorist offenses who were released early on license will have their cases reviewed according to prime minister boris johnson. this comes after it was revealed that the suspect in friday's london bridge attack had himself been released. legally the same as legally there was no way of stopping him. as few question how many others are there. friday 21 car killed 2 people injured 3 others before being shot dead by police in 2012 years jailed for plotting to bomb the london stock exchange according to some reports he also wanted to target the home of boris johnson who was serving as la the mayor of the time this act was released a year ago and took part in

a radicalization program the u.k. general election in full swing the question of over lease has entered the debates. these people darren should never ever be let out of prison unless we're absolutely convinced they do not have the jihadi virus people don't want history lessons after this terrorist atrocity what people want is to put victims 1st and keeping communities safe 1st and if he had been sentenced under our rules he would still be in jail today no terrorist should be released without it being properly fast whether or not they still pose a risk to the public school and we have indeed automatic early release for prisoners sentenced to more than 4 years in prison and the prime minister blames labor for introducing the early release scheme labor blames conservatives budget cuts for failing to implement it properly our guests debated the issue raised by

early release since september the 11th we've released 500 terrorists who have committed acts of terrorism in the u.k. that these 2 men a and clearly we need to toughen up our laws brought at the end you've got to remember that these people are quite rare and quite unusual of whilst we need to control them we also need to be very clear that we cannot infringe on civil liberties. because they are so important because these post i see this post liberal post in lighten if you like terror attacks happening on home soil they've often come home grown terrorists radicals criminals whatever you like to call them but there have been institutional failures. the state security apparatus can do better should do better and isn't doing better and we have to ask questions why i remember the police the security services the courts are attempting to prevent these violent terrorists from attack in this country the question here is what are we doing about

those people who are involved in terrorist organizations but have not yet committed serious terrorist offenses i say membership of any terrorist organization should have a life imprisonment tariff that would resolve the what do you mean member should know even know who carries a good person i mean how hard are terrorism friends down going on there you know be under its own country i don't have a terrorist organization i've got no problem on terrorism the hard line things are saying like throw away the key or terrorism should terrorists go to prison forever that's absolutely fine you know i'd even open up a dialogue on is capital punishment appropriate some people in some cases ok however what we have to do is ply apply fairly across the board if we are allowing entrapment cases where people are sent to syria and then they come back we reduce their citizenship we transduced their rights you talk about civil rights and human rights what about the bethnal green schoolgirls who at 14 or 15 were transported to syria if you join a terror organization we have to find out why we have to tackle these issues properly we're talking about people going to syria or going to training camps in

pakistan people who are engaging in acts of terror whether that be fund raising where that be terrorist training or whether it be actual acts of terrorism in terms of violence those sorts of people should no more be treated reasonably than somebody who turns around and says i only murdered this woman because it was a crime of passion the law needs to change membership of terrorist organizations to hold a maximum penalty of life in prison and then judges can choose whether that much is appropriate on a case by case basis that to me seems sensible. u.s. journalist claims his former boss and friend hillary clinton distance herself from him because he planned to investigate the now disgraced hollywood producer harvey weinstein a little quarter looks at how investigative journalism generally is becoming harder in the age of big corporate media. hollywood often portrays investigative journalists as knights in shining armor risking it all to protect the truth is that

legal what is it is that we do it for a living. we don't. we delude. i was doing my job you never want to. hear because i think you're going to tell this story we're going to tell it right and reality though snooping around the lives of influential people could have serious repercussions it could land you in trouble even if we're talking about hollywood royalty like ronan farrow he was essential to the new yorker's 2017 investigation into rape allegations against harvey weinstein the same one that received the pulitzer prize and through the me too movement into the mainstream before his journalism career farrow worked as a lawyer at one point serving under the then secretary of state hillary clinton as her advisor for global youth issues they made quite the team that is until farah began digging into weinstein's dirty laundry it's remarkable how quickly even

people with a long relationship with you will turn if you strengthen the centers of power with the sources of funding around them ultimately the results of people out there who operates in that way they're beholden to powerful interests and if you go up against those interests you become radioactive very quick 3 did you feel pressure from hillary clinton on and her staff raised concerns about the fact that i was working on this story about one of her most significant donors that they had bungler of hollywood money not to mention pharaoh's original collaborator and d.c. refused to publish the weinstein revelations all together but this isn't even the only major story that the mainstream media big wigs have tried to smother a.b.c. anchor amy roebuck recently went public about her investigation into geoffrey epstein's pedophile operation which was killed by the network 3 years ago it was unbelievable what we had with everything. i tried for 3 years to get on a veil and now it's coming out examples war well of revelations we had it was

unreal there were about to. get out years ago so is that it have the rich and powerful become so strong that investigative journalism has no place in the 21st century you probably can't reach. you know 1020000000 people with investigative stories that really attack it wealthy and powerful when you do investigative journalism which i do for a career and a living and you bump up against the rich and powerful especially if if your publisher is friendly with those who are rich and powerful you. you know you pay a price you either are taken off the beat and given something else to do like right of it you areas or you are you know in the worst case you're fired. or you're sort of let know that you know your career is not going anywhere there so you should

look elsewhere hollywood's got its films about closed and shut cases like watergate but if filmmakers decide to join in the risk investigative journalists take perhaps they'll soon be a movie about the clintons relationships with weinstein and epstein. authorities in a small canadian town want to change its name because it makes people think of towns they say asbestos that's the current name is also bad for local business the name change discussion has been brewing for some time there was really a negative perception around us best us we have lost businesses that don't want to establish themselves here because of the name. a what's the heart of the local economy the town of us saying the world's largest deposit of the mineral from which its name derives over the local mine closed in 2012. it was 1st used to be widely used as insulation for homes it's been bad now in more than 60 countries

around the world the tiny fibers it's made of can be inhaled and cause cancer some locals at the time as best as though want to hold on to the name. i think to the point of changing their name but it's part of the history of the town changing it would be like raising not history so we'll have to find a name that's on is it b m y z c i don't want that i spent my entire life for me to not only perhaps for the next generation it would be better to change the name but i would prefer to stick to my roots. they should not change i was raised here it's my home town other people refused to come here because they think as best as is dangerous i think i've lived here my entire life and i don't have any have problems. you can get some mileage you do someone from montreal told me that when people hear the name it's best they hear counts i was born in recent years and my house was in the morning it used to be particles old it's not

a good idea to change the names of this person's mind is no history. there or to germany now we're at a change in leadership is one of the ruling coalition parties has left a big question mark hanging over their lives his future with new people at the helm of the social democratic party is expected to tilt further to the left something that's like the top set their conservative allies. takes a look at how the long standing status quo in german politics could soon change and who could fill a vacuum. for decades now german voters have always favored parties in the center of the political spectrum radicals no think you give us a stable moderate government and the c.d.u. and s.p.d. were always there had been had to meet that demand but some say that this is a little bit too dull well it's because it was but not anymore and might belong in the past if the s.p.d.

leadership is anything to go by meet walter and saskia as also known in germany as the anti merkel coalition. the real question is are we able to find dances together to the really important questions and that's far from certain it is the english say with the grand coalition there is no way we can build a fan future there is no future in it so why is the s.p.d. leaving its old palls well it seems that the party is going through its own little crisis at the moment and they have been losing one election after the other and the grand coalition seems to be losing its popularity so in a desperate move to win more voters the social democrats are turning to socialism one the one raise minimum wage increase infrastructure and well 1st spending something straight out of coral marxist book no doubt and the party is going even further left calling for the country's largest brants to be put under collective

ownership and nothing less without great civilization overcoming capitalism is inconceivable the key factor is not the distribution of profits is controlled democratically as the s.p.d. is moving closer to the red corner the blue or right wing corner seems to be going through its own little struggle they've made opposition party alternative for germany is even more popular now in the eastern states causing major headaches for the center right c.b. hugh as the eye if they pushed merkel's party into 3rd place in the latest elections in 3rd. the shell shocked to see he was even forced to sit down and have a dialogue with the very anti immigration party that they wants labeled as nazis. colleagues from the f.t. faction are just as good as those from any other factions i see the a 50 is a conservative party almost 25 percent of voters gave that ballots to his party and i don't agree with this tendency to portray the all is nazis and the if they're

already smelled the blood. there will come a day when we see do you only one option. if you are expecting the alternative for germany party to embrace and into mainstream politics you'll be disappointed they even fell in time during the 2 day congress to slam these centrist c.d.u. and s.p.d. and the new leader that got elected doesn't seem that he wants the change the agenda and why what he this is what got the party votes in the 1st place as the popularity of the centrist party is all fades voters find comfort in the corners of the political spectrum blue or red some say that this is just a temporary reaction while others believe this is a permanent change eventually for r.t. . your political analyst through our office told us that under the newly elected leadership the social democrats could turn the tide and recover from recent doctoral setbacks. in the leadership made the beginning of the casts

if they free themselves from the grand coalition embrace him and which has harmed them a lot in the past years because the christian democratic union has just followed the strategy of eating up morally or of the topics of the social democrats if they follow the tendency of straining themselves from this grand coalition in addressing the war the needs and interests of the voters than i think he has been he could gain 3 in the public. the power of siberia gas pipeline is being launched today president vladimir putin and she jumping will watch as russian gas starts pumping through to feed chinese industry took 5 years to be built and was the biggest investment projects so far for russian companies as good sailors got the details. the power of siberia

a pipeline running through mountains swamps and on to red has and i'm bishop project uniting the northern hemisphere is 2nd largest gas producer with the wild 2nd largest gas consumer 3000 kilometers of pipe smoking economic unity and friendship between russia and china are launching today. and for china it couldn't be more timely the country has been increasing amounts of

gas and with its powerhouse status showing no signs of slowing down it's a trend that looks set to stick around and it's a wonder then that the project has been welcomed with open arms or usual this is a major project for a bilateral energy cooperation it is of great significance to deepening all round corporation between the 2 countries and integrating our interests are pretty pleased at this time of events russia. we are starting the biggest construction projects in the world there will be nothing bigger in this sphere for years to come but this is not about breaking records this is an extremely important project for both russia and china but we all know that energy is a sticky topic and there is no appeasing everyone especially when someone's been cut out of the deal so who could not so wound over this particular project you guessed it the world's largest producer and consumer of natural gas the united states was. inten is perhaps regretting driving to out cost countries together off

to wage an economic war with $1.00 and slapping sanctions on the other the us is ongoing trade with china has driven beijing's consumption of america's flagship liquefied natural gas right down a gas like no other party this one has a uniquely american flavor. increasing export capacity from the freeport l.n.g. project is critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world but giving america's allies a diverse in the food will source of clean energy china russia's energy cooperation is a double whammy for the u.s. which is also saying some of its all the gas consumers turning that box on it in a matter of months and not the energy pipeline stream 2 will start flooding europe with the russian gas at a foster cheaper and greener rate than its american alternative washington must be scratching its head to how some european leaders could schon its uniquely favored

gas in favor of closer ties with moscow despite its best efforts to convince them otherwise so we're taking germany were rejecting the french were taking both of these countries and numerous other countries go out of the pipeline deal with right where this thing is in the hours of the coffers of russia and that's one of the concerns the president has about the word stream to why your would voluntarily itself even more to russian energy supplies and we make a tough case about ensuring that germany doesn't become dependent on russian energy we don't want your energy supplies to be depended on platter. as washington's client seems green a pastas maybe it's time for a rethink of its customer service after all no one likes being bought up by an angry cash on no one likes overpaying even if freedom is part of the deal.

hong kong based political scientist of sharing told us why this is a win win project for both russia and china. this is significant for both china and russia for china even said a lot in terms of energy security in terms of diversification of use energy sources from the east africa and so on to the russian siberia it is also significant for russia because it means there is less and under group in market it opens up the china market with tremendous potential and infrastructure built can also be used to supply oil and natural gas to south korea and japan so there is a lot of potential to develop the asia pacific market in support of the development of soviet of russian far east and eastern siberia in russia.

a new team has just taken office at the e.u. commission with germany's. last president they've pledged to keep the block united and fight for democratic values or against the if as supported some possible complications. it's all about perspective if you're standing here the european union looks like an apex democracy freer than free fair or than fair if you budge over and stand here it's an increasingly all for a tarion club ruled by a cabal of a few dozen commissioners who no one ever elected and who only to the same people that elected them there's nothing scandalous about comparing the soviet union and the e.u. both have only one right ideology and the boones of that ideology are considered to be repressed living both unions unthinkable the european union of soviet

socialist republics it's catchy and don't forget this is the eastern european saying so the stonier back in the days of the u.s.s.r. complained about having to pay unelected commissars in moscow so they bailed when they could joined up with the european union and now they're complaining that they have to a bay unelected commissioners in brussels commissars and the commissioners it was 10 years ago by the way that the 1st comparison or one of the 1st was made by a soviet this event it is no accident that the european parliament reminds me of the supreme soviet it looks like the supreme soviet because it was designed like it similarly when you look at the european commission it looks like the politburo they are exactly the same unaccountable to anyone not directly elected by anyone it's all on paper or rather on the front cover it looks different europeans

the european parliament which sounds important but in reality is virtually powerless their ultimate power is that they can recommend things to the european commission which can then entirely ignore the will of the people and. do whatever it wants like draft a new 5000 page long regulation on how to safely and securely screw in light bulbs exactly like the soviet police i don't have to answer to anyone they obey no one and packages being independent they command they decide they authorize a couple of dozen unelected commissioners dictate the fate of 500000000 european citizens who seasons feel excluded from you decision making they have only indirect sway there like the european parliament but that body holds little

power this is the notion that the us something oppose democracy you can always hurt but you have no genuine choice which was almost exactly the case with the u.s.s.r. supreme council the supreme soviet they were elected representatives of the people and exercised the bad as much power as christmas tree decorations there was hope for the european union manfred weber a candidate running for the european commission presidency wanted to em power parliament and weaken the commission introduce some accountability naturally his career ambitions ended early in the u.s.s.r. no one went against the police bureau in the e.u. no one messes with the commission the problem with commissars and commissioners is that inevitably when you give someone too much power and too much space they use it it changes them and they change the system and everything with red tape they stall

everything with bureaucracy change becomes the enemy the u.s.s.r. tried it and failed miserably and god alone knows why the europeans think they'll fare and the better. brooks it has been the obsession of british politicians for 4 years now with general election now in full swing a recent poll found that what people worry most about those the country's national health service and there are good grounds to worry. brits love the n.h.s. it's a national treasure and the politicians know it is specially when there's an election on and when there are fears of a post griggs it's we are absolutely reason that there will be no. sale of the n.h.s. no privatisation the n.h.s. is not on the table in 81 so for the want of any doubt that we give this reassurance label will never ever treat our n.h.s.

as a bargaining chip in trade talks with anybody. that we will introduce in any case to take action bill this will get in t. the c. deals will not under main the phone to the principles of the n.h.s. nor open it up to profit driven exploitation but hold your horses this thing that promising will never happen is already happening a new report revealed that private profit hungry firms are getting ever more n.h.s. contracts 15000000000 pounds worth since 2015 alone that's more than hope of all outsourced contracts in that period these shocking figures expose the extent to which our n.h.s. is increasingly forming into private hands outsourcing is bad news for patients and n.h.s. tough time and time again who have seen private providers fail to deliver well our members terms and conditions and the n.h.s. national agreement have been undermined all this has been happening on the british

health secretary's watch perhaps he needs an eye test as in january he told m.p.'s exactly the opposite there is no privatisation of the n.h.s. on my watch was more the leader of the opposition says he has proof the n.h.s. is up for sale under the tories as part of the post briggs it trade deal with the americans freedom of information act request was made in order to find out what happened at these meetings that's what out of these meetings every single line of this document redacted out a document here a document here of u.s. u.k. negotiations summary. specific negotiate let's allow mrs missiles market access for u.s. products to our national health service it's an absolute invention it is completely untrue there are no such constraints whatever. if any conservative government will put the n.h.s. on the table it any trade negotiation already has will never be for sale invention

or not the documents called in waves have a clear message nursing was the other profession that the u.s. was interested in the us were interested to know if it would be really problematic for the u.k. to act in this area he was sensitive to the particular sensitivities with the health sector in the u.k. with donald trump in the u.k. over the next few days in the chest of plan to make their feelings known to him with that will swing an election fought on the promise of holding on to the n.h.s. one fact remains blinded by briggs it's the brits the word long been letting public health care snip out. the moment a lot of the public don't believe any politician so not really going to be believed to be a conservative government where most are you know not really the proper time so you prophesies are going to be more of the n.h.s. services so it is really a concern. at the moment the conservatives are trying very hard to focus

a selection. on the backs or tissue they really don't want them to go on the domestic agenda particularly the late show because those were very improbable. cross-talk took us in nato coming up for you in just a few hours' time the team and i can offer now with the latest global news up and see that. i'm max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is. a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these hedge funds are simply not accountable and we're just adding more and more to the.

totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for . a low in welcome across the uk for all things considered i'm peter lavelle trump on hong kong protecting democracy or more meddling in the internal affairs of china also can nato as european members reimagine the alliance and more terror on the streets of london.
