A strategic natural gas pipeline dubbed the power of siberia. From moscow thanks for joining us in our genes a national on Daniel Hawkins welcome to the 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. Early early in the say he was shot out and there was no in this nothing to do with how there was nothing to do with how many legally same as legally there are. On friday 25 card killed 203 others before being shot dead by police in 2012 he was jailed for plotting to bomb the London Stock Exchange according to some reports he also wanted to target the home of Boris Johnson who was serving as the mayor of london at the time their attacker was released a year ago and took part in a divided colorization program the u. K. General election in full swing the question of Early Release has now entered the debate. These people down 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 it being properly 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. And while the british Prime Minister blames labor for introducing bad Early Release scheme labor believes the conservative party for budget cuts failed to implement it properly our guest debated the issues raised by Early Releases. 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 lighton if you like terror attacks happening on home soil theyve often come from homegrown 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 how are you lot buses are not terrorists and friends on drawdown going on there you know beyond radio currie 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 schools about 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 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 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 journalist claims his former boss and friend Hillary Clinton distance herself from him because he 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 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. Right and for i worked for years as clinton special advisor 2011 when she was us secretary of state once the meanwhile donated tens of thousands of dollars to clintons 26000. 00 president ial campaign that was before the Sexual Assault scandal of folded little coulter looks at how Investigative Journalism generally is becoming harder in the age of big corporate media. Bollywood 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 wish to do my job you know. Youre saying 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 the 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 well everything. I tried for 3 years to get on a veil and now its coming out examples were well of revelations what we had was on real there 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 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. The power of siberia gas pipeline is being launched today president s. Will watch as russian gas thoughts pumping through to feed Chinese Industries it took 5 years to be built and was the biggest investment projects for Russian Companies got the details. The power of siberia a pipeline running through mountains swamps and on directors and im fishes project uniting the Northern Hemisphere is 2nd largest producer with the wilds 2nd largest gas consumer 3000 kilometers of pipe smoking economic unity and friendship between russia and china are launching 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 strategic project for Bilateral Energy cooperation it is of great significance to deepening all round corporation between the 2 countries and integrating our interests are pretty pleased at this town of events russia. We are starting the biggest Construction Projects in the world there will be nothing bigger in this sphere for years to come 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 not so wound up at 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 a uniquely 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 in the food it will 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 in a matter of months and not the Energy Pipeline would stream to will stop not to europe with the russian gas at a cost and green rate but 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 taking germany were rejecting friends were taking both of these guys and numerous other countries go out of the pipeline deal with right where this thing is or the others in the coffers of russia thats one of the concerns the president has about north stream to why your would voluntarily itself even more to Russian Energy supply and we make a tough case about ensuring that germany doesnt become dependent on Russian Energy we dont want your Energy Supplies to be depended on platter. As washingtons client seems green a pastas maybe its time for a rethink of its Customer Service after all no one likes being bought up by an angry cash no one likes overpaying even if freedom is part of the deal Hong Kong Based political scientist rose of chairing 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 sun law in terms of Energy Security in terms of diversification of Us Energy Sources from the video 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 Russian Far East and eastern siberia russia. President s of past press toss a form of money into it and kind of us speak out against brown some change its name due to its negative connotations that its on other stories off of this bridge. To what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on all fronts very Dramatic Development only closely im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. Organized labor has spent a mollusc in america and the average income for americans hasnt budged at all in 2030 years because they were neutered from their ability to compete for capital labor has no seat at the table labor has no seat. The central bank labor has been abandoned the jobs have been shipped overseas wall street now gets all the they get 100 percent of the capital every dollar printed by the fed goes directly to wall street bypasses labor bypasses way to. Much of the program over to germany or a change in leadership mean one of the Ruling Coalition parties has left a big question mark hanging over the laws his future with new people its how the social Democratic Party is expected to tilt further to the left something thats likely to upset their conservative allies. Looks at how the long standing status quo in german politics could soon change and. For decades now german voters have always favored parties in the center of the political spectrum radicals no think 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 eskin also known in germany as the anti merkel coalition. The real question is are we able to find dances together to the really important questions and thats far from certain. Say with the grand coalition there is no way we can build a fab 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 theyve made Opposition Party alternative for germany is even more popular now in the Eastern States causing major headaches for the center right you as the i if they pushed merkels party into 3rd place in the latest elections in. 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. 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 their ballots to this party and i dont agree with this tendency to betray the all is nazis and the if theyre already smelled the blood. There will come a day when we see do you only one option. If you are expecting the alternative for Germany Party to embrace and into mainstream politics youll be disappointed even film time during the 2 day congress to slam the centrist cd you and s. P. D. And the new leader that got elected doesnt seem that he wants the change the agenda and why what he this is what got the party votes in the 1st place as the popularity of the centrist party is all fades voters 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. As your political analyst told us that under the newly elected leadership the social democrats could turn the tide and recover from recent electoral said mark. The leadership made the beginning it casts if they free themselves from the grand coalition in brazen and which has harmed a lot in the past years because the Christian Democratic Union has just followed the strategy of eating more in the lore of the topics of the social democrats if they follow the tendency or straining themselves from this grand coalition in addressing the war the needs and interests of the voters than i think he has been he could gain 3 in the public.
