The stories that shaped the week thanks for joining us and lets head straight to the u. K. Because Islamic State has claimed responsibility for fridays stopping in Central London 2 people were killed in that attack and 3 others injured the perpetrator had served time for previous terrified it says before being freed already on license last year the british Prime Minister has criticised the practice matic nice. Clear to me that. This guy was. Half of his sentence automatic Early Release and i have long said this system simply isnt working it does not make sense for us as a society to be putting terrorist people who have terrorist offenses a serious violent offenses out Early Release. 28 year old was released from prison last december. He was jailed for planning a bomb attack on the London Stock Exchange and 2010 has all the talk of spock that reportedly included both the u. S. Embassy and Boris Johnson who was the mayor of london at the time khan was still wearing his electronic tag when he carried out fridays attack video showing the aftermath of the stopping has been posted on social media as you can see now some civilians wrestled with the killer pinning him to the ground one minute and managed to seize a knife from the terrorist who was then shot dead by police i witness has described what they saw at the scene. Crushing people for years each other smashing. The way people really are making the car yes its a big slug of people rushing scrambling cording every. Comic. Con account of the narco what do you do something. Shocking everybody said go down into the basement it was extremely frightening but if you dont know what to do you know you have to just i dont want to do think twice gunshots going off in my game now while this might be the fos terror attack on british soil since Boris Johnson became Prime Minister unfortunately its not feared in one in recent u. K. History. Please. To get father insight on this latest incident we spoke to former British Intelligence office on emotional and the former head of the u. K. s National CounterterrorismSecurity Office thats chris phillips. Its turned out that after all these socalled lone wolf attacks these lone wolves have indeed already been 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 cant imagine a more egregious example where someone should be monitored on a day to day basis by the authorities after hes 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 emails 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 no its its a real problem for a criminal Justice System which is not doing what it should do when thats keeping the public for some reason our criminal Justice System judges and the way our system works allows people out halfway through the 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 on 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. And now to some tragic news coming from russia 19 people have been killed and 22 others injured in a bus crash in the countrys east 2 children are among the dead the past caring 31 passengers fell off a bridge into a rip off some passengers were trapped inside russias invest covered committee has launched a probe into the cause of the incident but preliminary reports suggest the bus had blown a tire leading to the driver losing control of the vehicle. And now for some american Politics Democrats have labeled fox news an existential threat to the u. S. Describing it as a russian stooge and sama now calling for the channel to register as a Foreign Agent fox news should register with far as an agent of the Russian Federation if its going to peddle the kremlins agenda and propaganda while hurting u. S. National security interests then it should be treated the same as our ts who is nick the network is known to appeal to more conservative americans it often challenges the common us Mainstream Media narrative for example regarding the alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of duma back in 2017 which the west squarely blames syrias president assad and now heres what triggered the latest Democrat Campaign why do i care about you know you out of the conflict between ukraine and russia areas like why should i run for russia with folks news host says he roots for russia against the west he said the quote part out loud this clip is just one more exhibit supporting the case that its 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 now this is not the only case of pro republican media being targeted by democrats in september for example conservative one American News followed a defamation lawsuit against him s n b c on its host Rachel Maddow demands more than 10000000. 00 in compensation after she called it paid russian propaganda Chadwick Moore hes a columnist at news magazine spectator usa he says that insinuating a russian affiliation is a go to democrat strategy these days. Its just not the smear its then thats 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 thats absurd the intent is to just plant this seed to plant this ridiculous notion which theyve been doing all along theyve been doing this with the russian gates a lot that blew up in their face earlier this year and now at the beach 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 theyre also the Antiwar Movement and they used to be the party of antiwar and weve seen this dramatic shift the entire paradigm has been flipped on its head free speech and war and Foreign Relations is yours 2 of those biggest issues the Democrat Party the left is fundamentally anti free speech meanwhile the Washington Post to started its own chris 8 against republicans brompton that russian propagandists bought as more outcaste have now explains when it boils down to some quite muddled thinking about and sense in ukraine. Were 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 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 whats the point theres 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 unamerican 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 davening information about trumps then Campaign Head pull 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 didnt help him trump i helped hillary it would be better for us a fact that ukraines courts ruled to be interference election meddling ukraines own courts said that but in jennifers magical kingdom this isnt true she crossed out the old you his admission the court ruling and cited reports that its all a russian psyop and because she crossed it out its 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 jennifers point of view if it doesnt it isnt evidence see when special Counsel Robert Mueller root in his report that Russian Hackers seemingly and apparently quoted from the report hacked hillarys servers thats evidence but when you give her or her car in the recording a confession and a court ruling youre an american in the course of this investigation i would ask you please not from a politically different 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 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 im wrong but isnt rabidly undermining the Us Government spreading fear and hate on an industrial scale to every American Home smearing half your country is traitors isnt that about as. Merican as you can be. Lets now just stay in the us for a while longer because a Chemical Plant in south east texas was hit by 2 major explosions on wednesday the bloss happened 13 hours apart and caused extensive damage. On friday and Evacuation Order for more than 50000. 00 residents was lifted as the fire had been contained but it is still active in some areas and that is smoke and the Officials Say its hard to say when it will be fully extinguished but in the meantime we spoke to a no call 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 explosion but its happened around the area before but not to this extent its never affected voters around the refineries i definitely did not expect you know Something Like this there but i guess it just living in the area of the refinery which is owned by the t. P. C. Korea produces thousands of tons of both chemical and Petroleum BasedProducts Health and Environmental Campaign on of the to cal says a substantial investigation is whats needed now. Really quite toxic compounds are used on this site and the manufactures on this site i think that 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 its intending to do and staying on topic at 2 months since another massive fire engulfed a chemical factory in the french city of while theyre cool residents fair for their health and took to the streets demanding transparency equal standoff reports from the city. Were working with a crowd of well it looks like a 100 maybe a bit more i cant 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 theyre accusing the government of failing to release the air samples they which were taken right after the fire and the governments 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 lubrizol. Fire and so my childrens doesnt go in the garden so thats thats 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 everyones 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 dont we. Tonight more extensive blood tests we expect resignations over this. People are concerned about the health but it wasnt just about that local businesses local farmers 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 indepth look as to whats going on that lubrizol plant. Had in the program with the libya and the prep of political instability we talked to a local man who was brutally beaten and publicly humiliated by rivals of ousted president morales much more after a short break. When official for russia is not. Doing the probably what is not doing for us dont see the contrary to his predecessors he did not start a new war so probably it is it is a little bit safer and more predictable in these perspectives on the other hand all the world is changing it is a trouble in force and come on its not supposedly mr trump who is making the world the dangerous place he is just a symptom of the change that so. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back and lets start with bolivia because the mayor of a town that who was brutally assaulted by entourages protesters amid unrest triggered by the countrys political crisis says she will not leave her post a warning you may find the following scenes upsetting images of the attack on her on social media revealing the fallen to towards politicians of the party of ousted leader even raul is at the start of november after setting the towel on fire and. Cut public and sprayed during a 4 hour ordeal she was made to kneel and sign a resignation that petition has now left hospital but she told us shes still being treated for the kidney damage sustained from the blows she received. When what happened was disgusting im now recovering from renal damage that i suffered during the assault and im still in pain the also cut off my hair they beat me up but they cant change my views everything was so confusing at that moment many of them covered their faces but we recognize some of them it was sad to see all those people attacking me its been a difficult time for my children to see their mother in such a condition i dont want this to happen again. But if it is now facing Political Uncertainty the selfappointed right wing government of sanitation and yes has already been accused of abuses even while as a resigned after weeks of protest over allegations of ford while his supporters protest what they see as a coup during the countrys postelection unrest 34 people were killed and more than 800 injured Patricia Dunn says that the violence must stop. I cant betray my people those who believe in me i would like to express my gratitude to the staff who have stayed with me and i. Dedicated to improving the city we will keep working to achieve all our goals it was very difficult to return here after everything they did to me and it was terrible to see this city hall in such a state after all the work that was done to improve it after everything thats happened how can it get any worse people need to reflect and stop harming each other we need to restore unity ive never hurt anybody ive always worked for my city and i want people to take a step back and think the believe in people cannot live like this. And finally rounding off for this hour the health of wiki leaks founder Julian Assange is being put at severe risk during his incarceration in a u. K. Prison now thats according to 60 doctors here this week signed an open letter to the british home secretary saying the whistleblower could potentially die. Mr saunders rick was urgent expert medical assessment of both his physical and psychological state of health were such urgent assessments and treatment not to take place we have real concerns on the evidence currently available that mr sunshine could die in prison the medical situation is the boy urgent no time to lose we have credible reports from people that saw julian recent weeks so he has his father. His marriage to her. And the former u. K. And they all agree you didnt julians physical and mental condition. Strictly in seriously. So as a medical doctor we extremely concerned that nothing was being. Done now when many consider him a political prisoner. British phrase the doctors who come from a number of countries made their assessments based on eyewitness accounts following his Court Appearance but then it was reported that a staunch couldnt even call his state of pa and one offs whether he could understand what was happening there straight and replied that he could not think straight but we can its at a to has also complained about the conditions of his imprisonment on multiple occasions in the past thats all for now ill be back in half an hour with the very latest but to tide you over until that has watson pops. This is a story about what happens austria stray bullets kills a young girl in the streets. What happens to her family and daughters in florida you know the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery it really messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the Police Needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better than him and what happens in court be. Shocked shocked as far off as i feel. We dont know this is truthful. And to this unfortunately you. Will still love no children. Coming to welcome to worlds apart 3 years after the election of donald trump is political opponents have spare no effort in trying to keep his presidency from the kremlin agents of the abuser of Office Charge nothing proven Strong Enough to short. 1st term will the democrats attempt more of the same to prevent tron from running again to discuss that im now joined by admit 3 that a russian journalist and an avid trumpet watch church its good to see you in the studio thank you very much for coming its 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 you find you personally find disgusting in the if this is not the kind of impression you gave once you learned about hes victory 3 years ago. Reaction was by the way caught on camera and became famous. For. What we are the champions. Wife of whom and who are we are we the experts that predicted the victory of doug and sean planned to sales and succeed because whatever you know people in washington think it was 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 everybodys 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 when we take a 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 the you actually like. What he represents for the present to change so i dont see that as a victory of old or old but the. Stuff the point thats not thats not about expertise but the change in the world hes a symptom and the thing 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 good time not of your friends from what i understand as. Russian Government Official in the yellow c. N. N. And many other western that played that video make it appear as if it was almost the official russian reaction from what youre remember of baghdad how did the kremlin react to the election of don chimed and was it just as ecstatic as you appeared to be well i never been to the kremlin actually so im 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 not like me but the really close to kremlin they war just so appalled you know they didnt didnt know what to see because they were writing analysis who not only in newspapers and outlets but also a closed memo to kremlin they were all writing that Hillary Clinton will win and so we should supreme our politics these this way and that way and one all this all this charm thing came out of course of 1st they were just astonished surprised and they didnt know what to do this was the 1st reaction of the program and the expertise i think its fair to say that at the time they were and many clinton fans in this city and madame clinton usually likes to say that you know putin hate her because she supported democracy and all the other. Things i wonder if you believe thats factually correct do you think the kremlins be
