Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein sex offenses. International live from moscow with me Daniel Hawkins just one here in the capital welcomes program and 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 thats according to Prime MinisterBoris Johnson comes after it was revealed that the suspect in fridays London Bridge attack had himself been released early. Any other legal are in the same he will show loud out and there was no in this has nothing to do with parole there was nothing to do with probation how many legally sames legally there are. Alive now to r. T. C. Sally for more on a series of acts for joining us this has become quite a talking point as in over the last couple of days a lot of political points scoring going on how worried should the public be those 74. 00 terrorists out of jail earlier back on the streets. Absolutely 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 and 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 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 being. Fast whether or not they still pose a risk to the public scotland we have indeed automatic Early Release for prisoners sentenced to more than 4 years in prison. So all the parties hold each other responsible. Was trying to shift the blame on to labor but labor pointed out that it was under a conservative government that this person was released from prison so plenty of recriminations going round and as far as Boris Johnson the Prime Minister is concerned we are of course in an election period which is going to be held in around 10 days now about election Boris Johnson trying to get the message across that we have to be tougher on people who have been found guilty particular of acts of terrorism and that the laws need to change to reflect that the blame game just getting more intense as that election draws closer easily there with that update from london. And our guests a debate of the issues raised by the Early Release policy. Since september the 11th weve released 500. 00 terrorists who have committed acts of terrorism in the u. K. That is too many and clearly we need to toughen up our laws thoughts at the end youve 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 theyve 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 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 conjure. 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 tar if that would resolve the what do you mean member should know even know who carries it all personally i mean how are you lot buses are not terrorists and friends down going on there you know they are great so you carry i dont have a terrorist organization ive got no problem on terrorism the hard line things are saying like throw away the key or terrorism should terrorists go to prison forever thats absolutely fine you know id 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 and we have to tackle these issues properly were 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. To us journalist claims his former boss and friend Hillary Clinton distance herself from him because hes planned to investigate 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 lots 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. Roden farrow worked for years as clinton special advisor since 2011 when she was us secretary of state Harvey Weinstein meanwhile donated tens of thousands of dollars to clintons 2026000. 00 president ial campaign that of course before the Sexual Assault scandal unfolded 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. If we dont. Leave the country. I was doing my job you never want. Your gas tank here and we can 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 bungler of hollywood money not to mention pharaohs original collaborator and b 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 we had everything. And i tried for 3 years to get it on to no avail and now its coming out and i think well of revelations what we had it was unreal there were going back to you know. Get. Your shit 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 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 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 just a reminder we have plenty of stories on our website including the reigning submarine fleet getting weapons up right with the new jets Cruise Missile going with a mass production of the lowdown on that piece of naval. As well as social media. And why the Historic Center was evacuated off the discovery of a world war 2 explosive. Story and many more. As a big day for russia china relations today moscow beijing launching a 3000 kilometer pipeline dubbed the power of siberia it will carry russian natural gas to china. Today were marking a significant truly historic moment you not only for the Global Energy market but for us china and russia. Our Relations Center in the new era and i hope russia and china will do more projects of the sky and projects that will serve the interests of all countries and benefit tell people. That. The pipeline took 5 years to build its the biggest russian Gas Investment project in yet Saskia Taylor its got the full details. The power of siberia a pipeline running through mountains swamps and on direct has an ambitious project uniting the Northern Hemisphere is 2nd largest gas producer with the wilds 2nd largest gas consumer 3000 kilometers of pipe smoking economic unity and friendship between russia and china are north xing today. And for china it couldnt be more timely the country has been guzzling increasing amounts of gas and with its powerhouse status showing no signs of slowing down its a trend that looks set to stick around and its a wonder then that the project has been welcomed with open arms or usual this is a major project for boy lateral Energy Cooperation it is of great significance to deepening all round corporation between the 2 countries and integrating our interests you are pretty pleased at this time of events russia managed them. We are starting the biggest Construction Projects in the world there will be nothing bigger in the sphere for years to compress 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 theres no pleasing everyone especially when someones been cut out of the deal so who could last so wound over this particular project you guessed it the Worlds 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 has ongoing trade with china has driven beijings consumption of americas flagship liquefied natural gas right down a gas like no other party this one has the meekly american flavor. Increasing export capacity from the freeport l. N. G. Project is critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world but giving americas allies a diverse and affordable source of Clean Energy China russias Energy Cooperation is a double whammy for the u. S. Which is also saying some of its all the gas consumers are turning that box on it and i must tell mom and now back Energy Pipeline that you need to stop not to work with the russians at that mom dad and the enough money that 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 were protecting germany were protecting friends were to take both of these countries and numerous other countries go out of the pipeline deal with right where this thing is at the orders of the coffers of russia thats one of the concerns the president has about nordstrom 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 your Energy Supplies to be dependent on what amir putin as washingtons client seems green a pastas maybe its time for a rethink of its customers some of us after all no one likes being boxed up by an angry cash on no one likes overpaying even if freedom is part of the deal. Hong kong based political scientists joseph chang told us why this is a win win project of earth russia and china this is significant for both china and russia for china even sun lot in terms of Energy Security in terms of diversification of use Energy Sources from the east 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.

Welcome back to the program over to germany where a change in leadership in one of the Ruling Coalition policies has left a big question mark hanging over the add ons whose future with new people at its helm the social Democratic Party is expected to tilt further to the left something thats likely to upset the conservative allies. The most obsessed looks at how the long standing status quo in german politics could soon change and who might fill the vacuum. For decades now voters have always favored parties in the center of the political spectrum radicals no thanks 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 its 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 also known in germany as the anti merkel coalition. The real question is are we able to find answers together to the really important Big Questions and thats far from certain that is they say with a 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 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 theyve made Opposition Party alternative for germany is even more popular now in the Eastern States causing major headaches for the center right c. B. Huge as the eye if they pushed merkels party into 3rd place in the latest elections in 3rd the shell shocked the c. D. U. Was even forced to sit down and have a dialogue with the very anti Immigration Party that they wants labeled as nazis and 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 dont agree with this tendency to portray the all is nazis and the already smelled the blood. Dark comedy there will come a day when we see do you only one option. If you are expecting the alternative for Germany Party to embrace into mainstream politics youll be disappointed even film time during the 2 day congress has slammed these centrists c. D. U. And s. P. D. And the new leader that got elected doesnt seem that he wants the change the agenda is what he this is what got the party votes in the 1st place as the popularity of the centrist party is all fades vorse 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. Authorities in a small canadian town want to change its name because it makes people think of cancer asbestos thats the current name is also bad for local business the main change discussion has been brewing for some time it was really a negative perception around us presto we have lost businesses that dont want to establish themselves here because of the name or describe as the most dangerous town in canada asbestos for more than a 100 years provided to half the worlds supply of the mineral from which is then derived before its deadly properties were known the material used to be the heart of the local economy however the main aspect of this mine closed back in 2012. Was 1st lost used to be widely used as insulation for homes its now been banned voted more than 60 countries across the world the tiny fibers its made of can be inhaled and cause cancer some locals of the town asbestos though want to hold on to that name. Yes i can see the point of changing the name but its part of the history of the towel schollers changing it would be like youre raising us history so well have to find a name its on is it b m y z c i dont want that i spent my entire life here i saw for me its not a lot easier perhaps for the next generation it would be better to change the name but i would prefer to stick to my knees as fast they are by shouting watching how they should not change i was raised here its my home town other people refused to come here because it and as best as is dangerous i think its not because ive lived here my entire life and i dont have any have problems to get what i wanted the us political gets on my dignity someone from montreal told me that when people hear the name as best as they hear callas i was born in recent years and my house was in the morning air raids used to breed as bastards particles all day long survey thats not a good idea to change the names very this persons mind is old history means you should be well several miles further south action or tansey hosts going on the ground coming your way in just a few moments time of such detail as awaiting the wings to bring you 2 pm global news right now. Leg. Length. Please. List. Lists lists lists lists. Lists. Playing. And very well might continue watching on since last. John after a time they were going underground as leaders of the nato military organization launched 70 years ago to wage war with the us i saw meet in london after one of its key members described nato as current the experiencing brain death coming up in the show the man who once ran nato on the responsibility of the secretary general to galvanize nato nations against the cvs enemies and the silence of others we speak drove above the director of an Award Winning film about the brutal legacy of nato nations support for fascism you know not says im a dictatorship all around the world all of them all coming up in todays going underground the 1st as donald trump arrives in london ahead of tomorrows nato summit lets go straight to rome to speak with nato its former deputy secretary general us andro minute to reserve thanks so much for the deputy secretary general you were actually acting secretary general for a while about the conference the bulletin of atomic scientists when estimating the threat of earths destruction due to nuclear war claims with 2 minutes to midnight you think Something Like that will be on the minds of nato and leaders this week while i dont think so why do why you ask me this question on against altenburg is saying that nato faces a bigger and bigger threats and that in fact nato has to be prepared for coverage ations theoretically with russia and with china well you know.

Fred today made all more than they did befall so i dont see this raising of threats lets put it that way so you dont agree with nato secretary general against dalton even saying that he wants to nato to make space an operational domain enjoying the success of nature missions while you know it depends what you mean by that you know it is not today that is agree with the secretary general is that i say that nato always always adapting you know it has been a doctor and since the end though to cold war you know and so it continues to adopt and of course it is true that the national set out is changing and china is rising and made to last what up so the secular now is rising his old times if you like what peace has nato actually kept in its 70 years i mean right at the beginning there was the killing of 20 percent of the population of north korea by nature nations there was a cause vietnam 4000000 dead tens of millions have been killed or wounded or displaced because nato nations attacked iraq as nato ever helped peace well you know i dont think that you asked me the right question because. Youre right in terms of the people who had that in those bloody walsall but i dont think that you can blame a toehold that you know as a matter of fact they had all of never been in vietnam.
