i wasjust thinking, gosh, all i wanted was to stand with other women. hundreds of demonstrators are gathered this evening near the houses of parliament. earlier, they lay on the ground for a minute s silence. authorities in the republic of ireland recommend temporarily suspending use of the astrazeneca vaccine, after a report of four new cases of blood clotting incidents in adults who d had the jab in norway. the foreign secretary makes another call for the immediate release of british iranian nazanin zaghari ratcliffe after she faces new allegations of anti government propaganda in court. and it s the music industry s biggest awards night of the year, the grammys. they re being held at a virtual ceremony in los angeles. good evening. the commissioner of the metropolitan police has defended the tactics of the force in breaking up last night s vigil for sarah everard, the 33 year old woman whose body was found in woodland on wednesday. dame cressida dick said she welcomed an
theorys. that s why i think i wanted to get to the bottom of this. typically, people in the intelligence community will only talk to an extraordinary senator if they have to. you have seen john brennan being very dismissive of me and many others who have questions saying he s not on the intel committee, he doesn t get a right to know. this is the problem, is only about eight people know what the hell our intelligence agencies are doing what wars we re fig fightifigh fighting, for what reason. only about eight people know. they re typically rubber stamps for more war, more intervention and often more extraordinary rendition and torture. so i want to get to the bottom. the bottom line is here. she was emphatic and pretty clear they were not cooperating with british intelligence. the answer, and i m still pushing this morning to get it in writing, is that the british, they did not receive intelligence from the british intelligence to the cia. if it does, that does dispel how come no
was an enthusiastic supporter of the program and really we never had anybody ask the real question and that is extraordinary rendition. sending people to barberism regimes to be tortured, probing, electrode, worst things you can imagine in torture done in egypt, in syria, some say jordan as well. really, yes, this is a terrible mistake to be promoting her to be the head of this agency because she s a representative to the world of our country. you also sent a letter asking her whether she knew about surveillance of candidate trump. did she answer? what do you know about that? you know, i have my suspicions and there s been a lot of reports in the press that there was british intelligence listening to trump administration officials and then feeding that information to the cia. i asked her very directly so did she answer you? yes, this is an interesting
i was still asking her questions. i m still concerned about not only her role in extreme rendition and torture. i think one of the things that didn t really get discussed enough is she was involved with water boarding with many of us do see it as torture and it s not who we are as people. one thing, we also rendered people. we had extraordinary rendition where we sent people to assad, syria. most people now say assad is this barbarian who would gas his own people. also torture his own people. often people wouldn t leave alive. i think really should we be promoting people who actually kidnapped people, sent them blindfolded them, flew them around the world and dropped them off at assad s syria to be tortured to death? even the syrians finally said, whoops, it was the wrong guy. if you look at senator feinstein s report on torture, 26 of the 125 people tortured were the wrong person.
the details that were released, and some of them are very significant, but that she did it against the wishes of her chairman chuck grassley. she did. it s not the first time she s released things against the wishes. even members of her own party, she released a report on torture during the obama administration and the president of her own party didn t want her to do that. in this particular case, she s trying to take the political air out of the balloon for republicans, who are using this dossier, using the genesis of it, what s in it, how it was used and kind of bounced around between political campaigns and the fbi, using it against against the president. against mueller, against democrats. that was the goal there. and the people who testified, glenn simpson himself has said please release this. he didn t feel and obviously dianne feinstein didn t feel there was anything classified in there that needed to be kept secret. so the more it was kept secret,
