Hollywood producer Harvey Weinsteins and. Youre watching International Stay with me for the next 25 minutes as we go around the world covering the biggest stories of the day. And lets start with probably the most controversial one in the u. K. Dozens of people convicted of terror offense who were released early are set to have their cases reviewed thats according to Prime MinisterBoris Johnson it comes off to it was revealed fridays London Bridge a taka has himself been released. Any other legal are in the same he will out and there was no in this has nothing to do with parole there was nothing to do with probation and eagerly sames legally there are 3 but this is really become a talking point over the weekend since that attack on friday on London Bridge towards the side where the city of london financial district is now of course the person involved. 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 events which were organized for not just him as a convicted terrorist but other acts offenders to attend and it was that of reportedly that he decided to launch his attack an attack killing 2 people in injuring 3 others on a 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 these people darron should never ever be let out of prison unless were absolutely convinced they do not have the jihadi virus people dont want history lessons after this terrorist atrocity what people want is to put victims 1st and keeping Community 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 assessed 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 so theres plenty of political fallout as the different parties point the finger at each other the conservatives try. Say that this Early Release scheme is ultimately the responsibility of the labor party while the 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 Boris Johnson over the weekend has been advocating for a policy of locking 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 and one of the least early so there will be those who are calling for that to be changed while the leader of the Labor Party Jeremy Corbyn is arguing that each case should be taken on its merits and that you cant apply a blanket scheme all around so many different opinions as we head towards a poll in just 10 days now that will decide everything from meet the u. K. s education and environment policy and also how to fight crime and terrorism here at r. T. We put the issue up for debate. Since september the 11th weve 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 thoughts 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 lighton 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 a good. Hard on terrorism friends that on drawdown going on there you know. I dont have a terrorist organization ive got no problem on terrorism the hard line thing to saying like throw away the key or terrorism should go to prison forever thats absolutely fine you know or even open up a dialogue on its 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 are 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 reasonable 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. And now from american politics a journalist claims his friend and former boss Hillary Clinton distanced herself from him over his investigation of the now disgraced hollywood producer harvey feinstein. Its remarkable how quickly even people with a long relationship with you will turn if you threaten the centers of power with the sources of funding around them ultimately the results of people out there who operates in that way theyre beholden to powerful interests and if you go up against those interests you become radioactive very quick 3 when in far what clinton special adviser is encouraging while she was secretary of state feinstein meanwhile donated tens of thousands of dollars to clintons 2016 president ial campaign before the Sexual Assault scandal unfolded dont report to next looks at how Investigative Journalism in general is becoming hard to bake Corporate Media ali what 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 dont. Leave the country. I wasnt doing my job you never want to. Hear it because i think youre going to tell this story were 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 were talking about hollywood royalty like ronan farrow he was essential to the new yorkers 2017 investigation into rape allegations against Harvey Weinstein the same one that received a 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 weinsteins dirty laundry 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 bundler of hollywood money not to mention pharaohs original collaborator and b. C. Rich. Used 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 with everything. I had i tried for 3 years to get it on a veil and now its coming out and i think well of revelations well we had a person on real there remember you know. 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 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 write a bit 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 and just a friendly reminder we also have plenty of stories on our website including here wayne and submarine fleet is getting a weapons upgrade with the new jasc Cruise Missile going into mass production you can get the lowdown on that piece of naval kit at dot com for that a bump in the italian full of children where the Historic Center was in fact the way to get off the discovery of the wild will to explosive you can find not story and of course.

Gracing our interests now russia is also quite pleased with this project when the. We are starting with the biggest restructuring 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 both 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 to outcasts countries together after waging an economic war with one and slapping sanctions on the other the us ongoing trade war with china 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 is 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 with moscow despite its best efforts to convince them otherwise were taking germany were rejecting the french would take a vote with a specially numerous of the countries go out and make a pipeline deal with right where this thing is in the dollars into the coffers of russia thats one of the. Cerns the president has about north stream to why your would voluntarily 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 depended on platter mere putin Hong Kong Based political scientists have chiang 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 some law in terms of Energy Security in terms of diversification of use and as he so says from the video es africa and so on to to the russian siberia it is also significant for russia because it means that it 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 Russian Far East and eastern siberia in russia coming up in germany want them to fit their political top and if as the Ruling Coalition had just close to collapse ill tell you more about it after the short break. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back kotter lets head straight to john meanwhile a change in leadership and one of the Ruling Coalition parties has left a big question mark hanging over the alliances future with new people at the helm the social Democratic Party is expected to tilt father to the left something thats likely to upset its conservative allies. Sepsis looks at how the long standing status quo in job and politics could soon change and who might fill the vacuum. For decades now german voters have always favored parties in the center of the political spectrum radicals no think to 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 its because it was but not anymore and might belong in the past if the s. P. D. Is 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 Big Questions and thats 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 for spending something straight out of coral marxist book no doubt and the party is going even further left calling for the countrys 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 the Main 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 i if they pushed merkels party into 3rd place in the latest elections in 3rd. The shell shocked the c. D. U. Was
