David Davis discussing different preferred types of possible Brexit deals: the Norway + and Canada ++ deals; Canada+++ deal would be best for Britain. Why total silence about it on the BBC? David Davis MP speaks in the debate on the Brexit Draft Withdrawal Agreement. Mervin King says present Brexit deal is like Nazi appeasement: ‘This deal will not end the divisiveness of the debate about Britain’s relationship with the EU. The Remain camp will continue to argue, correctly, that to align the country indefinitely with laws over which it has no influence is madness, and a second referendum is vital to escape from this continuing nightmare. And the Leave camp will argue, also correctly, that it is intolerable for the fifth largest economy in the world to continue indefinitely as a fiefdom‘.

MI5 agents are allowed to carry out criminal activity in the UK, the government has acknowledged for the first time. The prime minister was on Thursday forced to publish the text of a direction to the Investigatory Powers Commissioner’s Office, the spying watchdog, on governing “security service participation in criminality”. It instructs the IPCO to oversee the participation of MI5 agents in criminal activity, which was previously conducted by the now-defunct office of the Intelligence Services Commissioner, under a secret order referred to as the “third direction”. However, guidance about when British spies can commit crimes, and how far they can go, remains confidential. The commissioner, Lord Justice Sir Adrian Fulford, said: “I welcome the government’s decision to make public my oversight of this sensitive area of work.” The order was published after a legal battle by the human rights groups Reprieve and Privacy International. Dominic Caciani, Home Affairs Correspondent on BBC 5Live – MI5 admitted it ‘made mistakes’.

First hour: news review: with Green councillor for Clifton Jerome Thomas: Brexit – Theresa May’s deal;  economic problems due to Brexit;  will Theresa May leave?;  soft and hard Brexits;  another referendum?;  Dominic Raab, Brexit Secretary, resigns; EU unravelling; small businesses do better with Brexit?;  PMQs  Corbyn – Theresa May’s Brexit deal;  Labour’s position on Theresa’s deal; PMQs Peter Bore – Theresa not delivering Brexit she promised;  PMQs Ken Clarke – voting for Brexit deal – maintain parliamentary sovereignty;  Parliament of Mayors met in Bristol – clip of PR film on line – how is Marvin as Mayor?;  Bristol transport and clean air – congestion charge? PMQs  police cuts and increase in violent crimes – drug decriminalisation – decimation of youth services;  Young see violence as entertainment: What might be the brutalising effects – on adults and on children – of the increase in explicit and graphically violent crime dramas and novels? It seems that as the acts of violence on our streets increase, so the public appetite for ever more violent “entertainment” increases – gang culture, young have no prospects,  QE, Universal Income;  PMQs Universal Credit – food banks use up nearly 50% in Stoke on Trent; stock market crash coming;  Bristol carbon neutral by 2050 story: Bristol has declared a “climate emergency”, with the council unanimously backing a commitment to be carbon neutral by 2030 in an effort to avoid catastrophic climate breakdown. The motion put forward by Green party councillor Carla Denyer and passed on Tuesday means the city has the most ambitious emissions targets of the UK’s core cities group – with radical policy implications in the coming years. The Nazi in the BRITISH Army: ‘Outstanding’ corporal who served in Afghanistan is jailed for preparing a ‘race war’ and recruiting for neo-Nazi National Action – as seven others are convicted for belonging to the banned terror group. Corporal Mikko Vehvilainen, 34, believed a ‘race war’ was coming to the UK. The veteran – described as ‘outstanding’ – attempted to recruit others for terror.

Second hour: Investigative reports: Israel threatening war with Iran: Trump doomed to failure: Trump’s economic war on Iran is doomed to failure says former British ambassador to Tehran Richard Dalton. With demand for Iranian oil holding firm and no international support for sanctions, the US’s harsh approach has no future. The US has declared economic war on Iran: after having pulled out of the UN security council-endorsed nuclear deal in May, the Trump administration is now unilaterally combating the right of the rest of the world to engage in legal trade with the Islamic Republic. Why are Israel and US pursuing this policy? Israel Katz, Intelligence and Transport Minister – speaking in May; Man who gave away US nuclear secrets to Israel and Soviet Union Jonathan Pollard – why is he a hero in Israel? Russia’s 100 Years of the GRU on BBC World Service – Mark Galeotti from Prague Institute for International Affairs who also works for NATO although the BBC don’t tell us this – discusses how Russia has much more counter intelligence than we do – but do Russia really spend 40% of public spending on the military as Mark Galeotti says? No, #FakeNews it’s actually around $42 billion out of a total of $247 billion public spending which is less than 20%, half what Mark Galeotti said it was – and its falling by 20% this year. Russian military spending fell by a fifth last year, its first decline in nearly two decades, with tighter purse-strings likely to affect Moscow’s military activity ahead, a report by defence think-tank SIPRI showed on Wednesday. $72 billion versus $690 billion: Russia’s military spending is around 12% of the US military budget. BBC have the cheek to try and help us get #BeyondFakeNews (not theirs of course but on social media) why could it be that people don’t trust the BBC, shock horror? Could it be because they are a propaganda station and lie all the time, particularly when trying to start illegal wars like WMD in Iraq and chemical weapons in Syria? This segment is presented by a ‘Demon from Merry Hell’ – otherwise known as Dan Damon and Marie Helly – BBC get facts wrong and lie too but have much much bigger reach! Drone Wars – armed autonomous drones in UK – Game Theory into modern warfare with Super Computers: Game theory is one of the possible ways to study information warfare with mathematical models. This paper presents four example games which illustrate the different requirements for an effective playing strategy in information warfare. These games study, how a bold playing strategy can lead to domination, how a mixed playing strategy can reduce domination, how it can be useful to play a dominating strategy only part of the time, and how excessive domination can lead to rebels where all playing parties lose. This paper also describes meta-strategies whose goal is to modify the perceived costs and conditions of a game. This kind of perception management is closely related to the Observe-Orient-Decide-Act (OODA) loop. Germany calling for EU army. Ukraine – EU condemning elections. Mystery Hijacking of all Google traffic – through China and Russia. Okay Google, why was your web traffic hijacked and routed through China, Russia today? BGP hijacking committed ‘grand theft internet’ That means folks in Texas, California, Ohio, and so on, firing up their browsers and software to connect to Google and its services were instead meandering through systems in Russia and China, and not reaching servers belonging to the Silicon Valley giant. Netizens outside of America may also have been affected.Lion Air into sea – aircraft can be hacked; MH370 Malaysian Airways hacked to stop Freescale military radar technology team getting to China? Global Hawk Technology; Vault 7 leaks from Wikileaks: Wikileaks CIA Files: Spy Agency Looked At Ways To Hack And Control Cars To Carry Out Assassinations; Chinook crash also hacked? 02Jun1994: Mull of Kintyre ZD576 Chinook crash CIA v B Army? For 16 years, serious criticisms have been levelled by campaigners, around problems with the Chinook’s Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC) engine control software and the troubled upgrade that introduced it into the Mk 2 model helicopter type that crashed. Vaxxed film clip – MMR vaccines causing autism – pharmaceutical companies; Andrew Wakefield clip – court case; Andrew Wakefield clip – vaccine safety research prevented, whistle-blower said Department of Health bordering on fascist.

First hour: news review with LibDem leader and councillor for Cotham, Anthony Negus: Plans to make Bristol City Council ‘more business-like’. The authority is looking to become more “commercially minded” Council tzars are looking at ideas to make public services in Bristol function more like a business. Stripping back bureaucracy and finding new ways for Bristol City Council to make money are top of the agenda as the authority looks to become more “commercially minded”. It comes as the authority weathers its eighth year of central government cuts, which has seen councils across the country lose up to half their budgets. The squeeze has meant a big reduction in spending – and has put senior managers on the hunt for ways other than raising council tax to balance the books. Piecemeal ideas, such as putting advertising in Bristol parks , will be brought under one banner with the help of Penny Fell, who as of August is the council’s new director of commercialisation. The Severn Estuary in Britain has the second highest tidal range in the world and tidal power in the Severn could produce a total of about 7% of the country’s energy needs. The lecture will consider the viability of tidal stream and tidal range. The most successful tidal range scheme currently operating is the La Rance scheme in Brittany, France, which has operated for 50 years and now produces the cheapest electricity in Europe. Experience from that will be described. Tidal range schemes in the Severn Estuary can be either barrages or lagoons and the main schemes will be identified. These will include the pathfinder Swansea Bay lagoon and an updated Severn barrage. Each scheme would have different impacts on the environment and most would involve the Habitats and Birds Directives. In recent years, turbine development has meant there would be less change in basin water level and hence less impact on the environment. BBC World Service, The Compass, After the Crash 2/5: Austerity and Consequences, Did Governments’ handling of the 2008 financial crisis – when some chose to implement austerity and some didn’t – make things better or worse? Ian Goldin, professor of Globalisation and Development at Oxford University, visits Illinois in the US to find out how people were affected by the collapse in the housing market. He also talks to Christine Lagarde – the head of the International Monetary Fund – about how austerity measures were implemented in Europe. And Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the former Minister of Finance in Nigeria, talks about how the crisis was felt in Africa. Presenter: Ian Goldin. Producer: Ben Carter. MPs laugh at Theresa May’s claim that ‘austerity is ending’ during PMQs clash with Corbyn. Theresa May’s claim that “austerity is ending” was met with laughter by MPs as the prime minister clashed with Jeremy Corbyn at Prime Ministers Questions. Condemning what he called a “broken promise Budget”, the Labour leader demanded to know why the government had not pledged to end the benefit freeze. That prompted confusion over Labour’s own policy on the issue after a spokesman for Mr Corbyn said the party would not necessarily raise benefits in line with inflation, despite John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, having said it would. Support grows for girl, 9, who begged homeless charity for job. A homeless charity has raised over £22,000 after speaking out about a 9-year-old who begged them for work to buy Christmas presents to her siblings. Metro.co.uk reported yesterday about the little girl who told CEO of Humanity Torbay Ellie Waugh that she needed a job because her mother had died and her father had no money. The charity, which operates food bank and offers support for the vulnerable has managed to raise more than £22,800, after Ellie decided to hit out at Universal Credit and ‘tell the truth’ about how many people are being forced to sleep rough. Italy says budget will include basic income, lower retirement. ROME (Reuters) – Economy Minister Giovanni Tria said on Wednesday Italy’s 2019 budget would include a basic income for the poor and allow people to retire earlier, meeting demands from the ruling coalition parties. Tria told a retail association conference the so-called “citizens’ income” would help manage the social consequences of technological change, and said allowing people to retire earlier would give firms a younger, more skilled workforce. The anti-establishment 5-Star Movement, which governs with the right-wing League, threatened on Tuesday not to vote for the budget unless it included the citizens’ income and a lower retirement age, along with other policies. Why the £2 ‘flat fare’ on Bristol’s buses might cost you £2.07 A raft of changes to the bus fares across Bristol come into force on Sunday, with Monday the first day when commuters and school children experience the new fare set-up. The price of a single ticket is being unified to what First Bus and Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees said was a ‘flat fare’ no matter how far you travel in Bristol on the bus. Before the change on Monday, people were paying £1.50 for every single journey under three miles on the First Bus phone app, or £2.50 for every single journey over three miles. ‘Labour’ Mayor Marvin Rees state of the city address 2018 on transport No administration for years, has taken transport seriously. There have been efforts to improve cycling and walking but it remains difficult to travel from A to B. Communities in areas such as Hartcliffe, Avonmouth and Hillfields remain disconnected. Congestion adversely impacts on the city‘s economy and air quality. We will not repeat the errors of recent years in pretending that cars will disappear if we make life difficult for car drivers, nor will we ignore the economic impact when we do transport planning. But we will have an impact on congestion and on people movement by presenting real choice. We must generate mass transit options that are better, cheaper and easier than car travel. Thanks to the efforts of my cabinet lead , Mhairi Threlfall, we have our Bristol Transport Strategy out to consultation, outlining our vision to 2036. We have seen the order of the biggest single biogas bus order in the UK, and we are leading the way on smart ticketing and contactless payments. 7 out of 10 passengers now board the bus using these payment methods. The key outcomes of the Congestion Task Group are being implemented, including the creation of a Transport Board that will bring together key city transport partners, to work more closely with the city council for future planning. But most importantly, we have a flightpath for a phased growth of public transport. The first strand of that growth will be looking at a new deal for bus use. I can announce tonight that we are in the process of working towards a Heads of an Agreement that sets out a joint relationship based on long term and sustained public and private investment in the bus system. Working with our partners in the West of England, the aim of the agreement will be to double bus usage to 20% of all journeys through: Bristol congestion charge will ‘hit the poorest the hardest’ The Conservative group say council claims about the benefits of the charge are ‘inaccurate and disingenuous’ Any potential congestion charge or parking levy will “hit the poorest people in Bristol the hardest”, the Conservatives claim. Leader of the Bristol Tory group, Mark Weston, says any move to charge drivers to enter the city would “unfairly tax” low income families and previously making driving a luxury of the well off. His comments come after Bristol City Council launched its transport strategy consultation on Monday (September 24). The document lays out the city’s transport aims over the next 20 years and looks at how it may fund new projects.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has ordered an urgent investigation into why youngsters are being locked up like criminals because they have autism or learning difficulties, just days after The Mail on Sunday revealed their appalling plight. Mr Hancock was ‘deeply shocked’ by this newspaper’s account last week of children as young as 13 being incarcerated, sometimes for years, in NHS-funded assessment and treatment units, known as ATUs.

Second hour: Investigative reports: US War on Terror Kills Nearly 500,000 in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan A study released Thursday says the U.S.-led war on terrorism has killed about 507,000 people in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan during its 17 years and is showing a 22 percent increase in deaths in the past two years. The death toll includes U.S. and allied troops, civilians in the war zones, local military and police forces, as well as militants, who have died from war violence, according to the report by Brown University’s Costs of War Project. The report said the number of indirect deaths was several times larger than deaths caused by direct war violence, bringing the total death count to well over 1 million people. Fatalities in Afghanistan, as of October 2018, stood at about 147,000 people, including Afghan security forces, civilians and opposition fighters. The figure also included the deaths of 6,334 American soldiers and contractors, as well as more than 1,100 allied troops. Make GRU GRU again, Putin says as intelligence agency turns 100. The Russian president suggested returning the historic name to the military intelligence agency, which is accused in the West of staging coups, tilting US elections and using chemical weapons to get rid of double agents. On Friday, Russian military intelligence officers were celebrating their professional holiday. This year is a big date for the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The organization is best known by its Soviet-times name the GRU (Maine Intelligence Directorate), even though the agency has changed its name to simply GU years ago. Iran will break US sanctions: President Rouhani TEHRAN. – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says Iran will break the sanctions imposed by the United States on Tehran as well as on countries that do business with it, shortly after a round of anti-Iran sanctions by America took effect. Speaking at a meeting with the directors and deputies of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance on Monday, President Rouhani said, “We should break the sanctions very well, and we will do that.” “With the help of the people, and the unity that exists in our society, we have to make the Americans understand that they must not use the language of force, pressure, and threats to speak to the great Iranian nation. They must be punished once and for all,” the Iranian president said. The meeting and remarks came shortly after a new round of US sanctions took effect. The new bans target, among other things, Iran’s oil sales and Central Bank. More Iranian individuals have also been targeted by the US Department of the Treasury. The US measures also include so-called secondary sanctions – punitive measures against third countries doing business with Iran. US President Donald Trump introduced a first round of “primary” and “secondary” sanctions against Iran and its trade partners in August. In May, he unilaterally pulled the US out of a multilateral deal with Iran. Two months later, footage reportedly came outin which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed he had personally convinced Trump to withdraw from the Iran deal. Top Likud minister, back from Oman: Israel, Gulf must liaise on security, agriculture. Israel Katz says Jewish state ‘has a lot to offer’ its Arab neighbors in multiple fields. A top minister who visited Oman this week has called for increased cooperation between Israel and Gulf states on developmental issues, security, medicine and more. Intelligence and Transportation Minister Israel Katz told Reuters Thursday night following his visit: “In my view cooperation between Israel and the Gulf states can and should be expanded … Israel also has a lot to offer when it comes to water desalination and irrigation, agriculture and medicine.” He also said the nations should work together on aviation security. Russia, Turkey, France and Germany call for lasting ceasefire in Syria. World leaders issue joint statement from summit on war-torn country: The leaders of Russia, Turkey, France and Germany have called for a lasting ceasefire in Syria following violence in last remaining major rebel stronghold. A constitutional committee should meet by the end of the year, the leaders of the four countries, who gathered for a summit in Istanbul, said. Ankara, which supports the rebels seeking to overthrow president Bashar al-Assad, and Moscow, Assad’s key foreign ally, recently brokered a deal to create a demilitarised zone in Syria’s Idlib region. French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters that the international community would be watching to make sure that Russia and Turkey respect the agreement they have negotiated. Speaking after the four-way summit on Saturday, he said: “We will all be extremely vigilant to ensure that these commitments are met and that the ceasefire is stable and sustainable. “We are counting on Russia to exert a very clear pressure on the (Syrian) regime which very clearly owes it its survival.” ‘EU lied for 50 YEARS’ Farage attacks Macron’s plans to build a ‘TRUE European army’ NIGEL Farage accused the European Union of “lying to us for 50 years” after French President Emmanuel Macron called for a “real European army” to reduce Europe’s dependence on the United States for defence. Nigel Farage warned a European army would be “very dangerous” and “deeply insulting” to the United States. Speaking on his LBC radio show, Mr Farage blasted: “A true European army says Emmanuel Macron, backing up comments from Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, who said not too long ago, deference to NATO can no longer be used as a convenient alibi to argue against greater European efforts. “Folks, they’re building a European army, they’re not messing about. President Macron sparks outrage by calling infamous French Nazi collaborator Philippe Petain a ‘great soldier’ during WWI. Philippe Petain assissted in the Holocaust and deported thousands of Jews . Macron said that Marshal Petain made some bad choice in the Second World War. He said ‘I don’t hide any page of history’ as he praised Petain’s greatness in WWI. The Lion of Verdun began working with Nazis against Britain during WWII. Israeli Defense Company Wins Contract to Monitor Europe’s Coasts. The Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems Ltd has won a contract worth up to $68 million to monitor much of Europe’s coastline. Elbit Systems, an Israeli tech firm which specialises in defence, security and commercial systems, said today that the framework contract consists of the provision of maritime unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) in order to help monitor extensive coastlines and vast areas of sea to identify any potential hazards and suspicious activities. The company will provide European Union countries with maritime unmanned aircraft system patrol services. Israeli Defense Contractor Elbit Announces Contract with EU Maritime Safety Agency. The company will provide European Union countries with maritime unmanned aircraft system patrol services. In recent months, numerous Israeli companies and contractors have been winning contracts in various industries worldwide, ranging from defense to surveillance and technological advancement. David Livingstone: Because the focus of much conspiracy research has been dirverted to the Federal Reserve, UFOs, “the Jews” and even the Jesuits, it has failed to apprehend the most important development of occultism in modern times and the source of transhumanism. Until recently, occultism was dominated by societies like the Golden Dawn, or Aleister Crowley’s OTO. While the influences of these societies are still central, they have proliferated in entirely new ways. While once associated with solemn candlelit rituals and dark incantations performed by robed mystics, occultism has a new face, and it’s the pranksterism of a bizarre parody religion called Discordianism, founded by a close friend of Lee Harvey Oswald, Kerry Thornley. The principles of Discordianism are mockery. But it’s jocularity hides a more sinister agenda, which is the prejudice that nothign is sacred, underlying their bigroty towards “traditional religions.”  William Stuart’s book The Invisible College, 9/11 To Armageddon. Fourteen years ago, author William Stuart began to explore the darkest regions of our planet and five years later he had enough data to support the claim that a strain of the Knights Templar had ensured that the American War of Independence, French Revolution, American Civil War, Russian Revolution, WW1 and WW2 took place. Five more years passed, and William discovered that when the Russian Revolution, heavy with Templar Masonry, began to fail because of the ‘peasant farmers’ loyalty to their Tsar, Rothschild, Khun Loeb, Warburg, J.P.Morgan, Rockefeller, Fabian Society Round Table and the American International Company applied direct funding to cover up the failure. The author knew that the Templars were controlled by American finance, who took orders from Geneva and that this organisation had designed seven strategic wars as a blueprint for financial gain and the growth of the New World Order as far back as 1710. They matched their seven wars to the “breaking of 7 seals” in the Book of Revelation, as all had been initiated into Red Masonry called Armageddon Masonry, using verses from that last book of the Bible. At this stage of his research William suspected that there was a potential seventh war, which could be seen as a mock up of Armageddon, so he set out to discover whether 9.11 and the chaos in the Middle East were connected, and if both events had originated from this satanic cabal. A compelling and exciting read, 9:11 to Armageddon is over 300 pages of brilliant research that is an absolute must for anyone interested in understanding the subversive organisations that run our world and how they have created every war since the American War of Independence.

First hour: news review: UKIPs take on Theresa May’s Brexit negotiations;  Adam Fleming on different Brexit scenarios;  Tommy Robinson – lunch with UKIP top brass: EDL founder Tommy Robinson went straight from court to lunch with UKIP top brass at the House of Lords after being told he faces wait to learn if he will be jailed for contempt. Tommy Robinson enjoyed a three course meal at the House of Lords yesterday. It came after he was released on bail by a judge over his contempt of court case. He drank red and white wine with Ukip’s Lord Pearson and leader Gerard Batten. His case has been referred to the Attorney General because it is ‘too complex’    – Tommy’s world tour;  PMQs Corbyn – lack of nurses in training – end to austerity in budget? PMQs police cuts;  increase in violent crimes in Bristol: Fishponds murder, Easton ‘stabbing’, St Paul’s assault – three weeks of violence in Bristol. Three serious incidents in three weeks have caused concern among communities. Three weeks of violent disorder in Bristol have resulted in the death of a young man, multiple arrests and the launch of a new police operation;  site safer with squatters in – fire: Ex-squatter on boathouse blaze: ‘They should have let us stay there’. During their stay they claim they improved the site’s safety, even installing fire alarms and extinguishers. Former squatters of an old boathouse gutted by a fire have claimed it would have been saved if it had still been occupied by them. The historic building in Redcliffe Wharf, which has been the centre of ambitious redevelopment plans for a number of years, suffered a devastating fire on Sunday. The empty historic building has long been a home to squatters, with a group of eight who occupied it from the summer of 2016 claiming they had in fact been improving the site’s safety. While the group were officially evicted in April 2018, reports had emerged of more rough sleepers taking over the building. But the fire service confirmed this week that nobody was inside when it erupted into flames. However, one of the building’s former residents, Richard Carey, 27, now living in Easton has spoken out about how the previous evicted group in April had spent the year-and-a-half prior improving safety in the building, including installing fire alarms and extinguishers. He said: “It’s incredibly frustrating to see something like this happen after the work we put into it and the warning we gave to Bristol City Council about what could happen if it was left unoccupied for long enough;  interview with Rick Carey, ex squatter, who was living in the building;  Marvin Rees’ State of the City speech – Bundred report on Council deficit and hence Marvin’s cuts;  about 400 rough sleepers in Bristol – homeless have skills to do up empty buildings;  PMQs Jacob Rees Mogg – Brexit;  Nigel Farage should be an MP – fraud: Tory MP ‘overspent on election campaign to end Farage’s political ambitions FOREVER’

Second hour: Investigative reports: Cesar Sayoc named as perpetrator of this week’s alleged letter bombs in US: Suspected MAGA bomber identified as ‘Native American Trump supporter’ Cesar Sayoc. Psychological war games; ‘Strategy of Tension’ BBC 5 Live report from inexperienced BBC reporter Jennifer Smith reports on where the devices were sent and CNN headquarters being evacuated; all terrorist attacks are by FBI: The FBI is ‘manufacturing terrorism cases’ on a greater scale than ever before: The FBI has ramped up its use of sting operations in terrorism cases, dispatching undercover agents to pose as jihadists and ensnare Americans suspected of backing ISIS, aka the Islamic State, Daesh, or ISIL. On Thursday, roughly 67% of prosecutions involving suspected ISIS supporters include evidence from undercover operations, according to The New York Times. In many cases, agents will seek out people who have somehow demonstrated radical views, and then coax them into plotting an act of terrorism — often providing weapons and money. Before the suspects can carry out their plans, though, they’re arrested. – strategy of tension;  PMQs – SNP leader Ian Blackford –  arms deals with Saudi Arabia and Yemen war;  Brazil elections – Bonsinaro looks set to win – legitimate left wing candidates nobbled – SouthCom; Who is responsible for the rise of the fascistic Bolsonaro in Brazil? With Brazil’s second-round election little more than a week away, the fascistic presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro, who fell just short of winning an outright majority in the first-round vote, has maintained a wide lead over the candidate of the Workers Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores – PT), Fernando Haddad, with the two polling 49 percent and 36 percent respectively. The advent of a government led by Bolsonaro represents a genuine threat to the Brazilian and Latin American working class. The former army captain has vowed to put an end to all forms of “activism” in Brazil in order to force through the demands of international and Brazilian capital for drastic new attacks on the living standards and basic rights of the working class. In a country that was ruled by a military dictatorship for two decades from the 1960s to the 1980s, this is no empty threat. Trump pulling out of INF nuclear weapons treaty with Russia: Trump says US will withdraw from nuclear arms treaty with Russia  Experts warn of ‘most severe crisis in nuclear arms control since the 1980s’ as Trump confirms US will leave INF agreement: Trump was referring to the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces treaty (INF), which banned ground-launch nuclear missiles with ranges from 500km to 5,500km. Signed by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, it led to nearly 2,700 short- and medium-range missiles being eliminated, and an end to a dangerous standoff between US Pershing and cruise missiles and Soviet SS-20 missiles in Europe. – due to Russian violations; Americans attacked Russian airbase with drones: Over the past year Russia’s chief military base in Syria, Khmeimim Air Base near Latakia (alternately Hmeimim), has come under sporadic waves of attack by small armed drones, which have appeared increasingly sophisticated. Those attacks were assumed to have been the work of jihadists operating out of Idlib, such as Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, who launched the small makeshift drones in an attempt to penetrate Russian defenses, even targeting the Russian naval facility at the Syrian port city of Tartus in addition. The Kremlin now says, based on new intelligence provided by the Russian defense ministry that a major attack on Khmeimim last January was coordinated by a US spy plane. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov presented statements confirming Russian intelligence has produced “undoubtedly a very alarming report” which finds a US P-8 Poseidon surveillance plane was behind the nighttime January 8th attack which involved 13 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in total — 10 approached Khmeimim while 3 attempted an attack on the naval facility in Tartus.  – arms sales;  Denmark – 12 years in prison for pro Russian views: Danish lawmakers have gone on the offensive against interference in public debate, sparking criticism that a new proposal, which could entail criminal liability for expressing opinions similar to those of Moscow, may become a step toward silencing public debate. According to a bill brought forward in local parliament, Danes could face a jail term if they voice dissent over the government’s position on Russia.The proposal, which is said to be meant to “strengthen efforts against illegal influence from foreign intelligence services,” would introduce criminal penalties for perceived “meddling” in public debates and attempts to influence decision-making. Crimes committed during an election campaign would entail a maximum prison term of 12 years. 20 Palestinians injured by Israeli army;  Human Rights Watch condemn Palestinian Authority; China’s ‘education centres’, up to a million interned for non-extremism training – John Sudworth BBC China correspondent; Kangaroo Court: US runs Hague’s International Criminal Court but won’t sign up to it – Christopher Black, lawyer, on war criminals going to jail – Yugoslavia and Milosevic being poisoned in prison – International Criminal Court: The death of Slobodan Milosevic was clearly the only way out of the dilemma the NATO powers had put themselves in by charging him before the Hague tribunal. The propaganda against him was of an unprecedented scale. The trial was played in the press as one of the world’s great dramas, as world theatre in which an evil man would be made to answer for his crimes. But of course, there had been no crimes, except those of the NATO alliance, and the attempt to fabricate a case against him collapsed into farce.
