Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein sex offenses. And broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our t. International im john thomas certainly glad to have you with us and dozens of people convicted of terror offenses in the u. K. Who were released early are said to have their cases reviewed as according to Prime Minister Boyce Johnson this comes after it was revealed friday fridays London Bridge attacker had himself been released early. Or in the same he was out and there was no in this it was nothing to do with perot there was nothing to do with probation its how many legal the same is legally there if. This is really become a talking point over the weekend since that on friday on london. Bridge towards the side where the city of london financial district is now of course the person involved. Was somebody who had already been found guilty of involvement in a plot to blow up the London Stock Exchange but then was released as part of a scheme and there were attempts to try to rehabilitate him and put him back into society if you will that it was actually one of those offense which were organized for not just him as a convicted terrorist but other acts offenders to attend and it was that of reports of the that he decided to launch his attack and attack killing 2 people in injuring 3 others on the London Bridge and as i said that has over the weekend sparked a number of political accusations back and forth about whos to blame for this terrorist being on the streets i think these people should never ever be let out of prison unless we are absolutely convinced they do not have the jihadi virus people dont want history lessons this is a troll city if you had been sentenced under the old rules he would still be in jail today no terry should be released without being properly assessed whether or not they still pay to the public in scotland to have ended up the medical release for prisoners sentenced to more than 4 years in prison so theres plenty of political fallout as the different parties point the finger at each other the conservatives trying to say that this Early Release scheme is ultimately the responsibility of the labor party while labor say well firstly it was a conservative government under which this terrorist was released but also that the conservative budget cuts impacted policing and meant that terrorists like this its much harder to find now johnson over the weekend has been advocating for a policy of knocking. Terrorists up and throwing away the key if you will even his own foreign secretary dominic robb confirms that the conservative party have a policy of a minimum 14 years sentence for dangerous terrorists and theres no guarantee that even would have made a difference in this case because this man was sentenced to 16 years of moves at least early so there will be those who are calling for that to be changed while the leader of the labor party during the corbin is arguing that each case should be taken on its merits and that you cant apply a blanket scheme all round so many different opinions as we head towards a poll in just 10 days now that will decide everything from meet the ukase education and environment policy and also how to fight crime and terrorism we put the issue of Early Release for debate. Since september the 11th weve released 500. 00 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 but whats at the end youve got to remember that these people are quite 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 isis post liberal post in lighten if you like terror attacks happening on home soil theyve often come home grown terrorists radicals criminals whatever you like to call them but they have been institutional failures the state Security Apparatus can do better should do better and isnt 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 attacking 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 or if that would resolve the what do you mean member should know even know who carries it but i mean how are you lot buses are not terrorists and friends on drawdown going on there you know. I dont have a terrorist organization ive got no problem on terrorism the hard line things of saying like throw away the key or terrorism should terrorists go to prison forever thats absolutely fine you know or 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 were talking about people going to syria. Or go into Training Camps in pakistan people 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 know more pretreated 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 needs to hold a maximum penalty of life in prison and then judges can choose whether that much cement is appropriate on a case by case basis that to me seems sensible. To us a journalist claims his friend and former boss Hillary Clinton distance herself from him over his investigation of the now disgraced hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Its remarkable how quickly even people with a long relationship with you will turn if you threaten the centers of power or the sources of funding around them ultimately there are a lot of people out there who operate in that way theyre beholden to powerful interests and if you go up against those interests you become radioactive very quickly. Ronan farrow worked as clintons special advisor for years including while she was his secretary of state Harvey Weinstein meanwhile donated tens of thousands of dollars to clintons 2016 president ial campaign before the Sexual Assault scandal unfolded or his donald quarter comments now on how Investigative Journalism in general is becoming harder in the age of big corporate media.

C. Refused to publish the weinstein revelations all together but this isnt 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 epsteins pedophile operation. Which was killed by the network 3 years ago it was unbelievable what we had well everything. I tried for 3 years to get on a veil and now its coming out examples were well of revelations already had a person on rail i remember. 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 cant 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 in 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 youre fired. Or youre sort of let know that you know your career is not going anywhere there so you should look elsewhere.

The shes a major she projects a Bilateral Energy cooperation it is of great significance to deepening incorporation between the 2 countries and integrating our interests now russia is also quite pleased with this project when this name we have starts with the biggest restructure the projects in the world there will be nothing bigger in the sphere for years to come because this is not about breaking records this is an extremely important project for this russia and china but we all know that energy is as stake its all fake and there is no pleasing everyone especially when someones been cut out of the deal now the Worlds Largest producer and consumer of natural gas the United States is now perhaps regretting driving su outcasts countries together after waging an economic war with one and slapping sanctions on the other the us ongoing trade war with. Has driven beijings consumption of americas flagship liquefied natural gas right down to gas like no other apparently this one has a uniquely american flavor increasing export capacity from the freeport liquefied natural gas project is critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world by giving americas allies a diverse and affordable source of Clean Energy China and russia as energy corp is a double whammy for the United States which is also seeing some of its other gas consumers surging their backs on it in a matter of months and all their Energy Pipeline north stream soon will start flooding europe with russian gas at a faster cheaper and greener rate that its american alternative washington that must be scratching his head at how some european leaders could shun its uniquely flavored gas in favor off a closer ties that with moscow despite its best efforts to convince them otherwise were taking germany were rejecting the french were to take a vote of these countries and numerous other countries go out and make a pipeline deal with russia with a thing that is of the dollars into the coffers of russia thats one of the concerns the president has about nordstrom to why europe would voluntarily tie itself even more to Russian Energy supplies and we make a tough case about ensuring that germany doesnt become dependent on Russian Energy we dont want europes Energy Supplies to be dependent on what a mere putin Hong Kong Based a political scientist a just of chiang told us why this is a win win project for both russia and china.
