The execution of Lisa Montgomery – BBC News
Lisa Montgomery was the first woman to be executed by the federal government in America for nearly 70 years.
The 52-year-old strangled pregnant 23-year-old Bobbie Jo Stinnett, before cutting out and kidnapping her baby in Missouri in 2004. The child survived and was returned to Stinnett’s family.
Her lawyers argued that she had been born brain-damaged and was too mentally ill to be executed. Family members say that as a child she was routinely sexually and physically abused by her father, and trafficked by her mother.

Saudi Arabia’s energy minister has threatened a ‘serious’ response to the deadly Houthi attacks on Riyadh’s international airport. Flights remain suspended and are expected to remain so for days.
The Houthis said they launched the attacks in retaliation for “brutal Saudi aggression” against areas they control in western Yemen.
The BBC’s security correspondent Frank Gardner examines how it is that Saudia Arabia – which spends billions on its defence – can not stop the Houthis from attacking its people.

One person has been killed and 11 injured in a second strike on the international airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh, officials have said.
A Saudi military spokesman said a projectile had hit King Khalid International Airport on Sunday, causing a fire in a passenger hall. Saudi Arabia’s civil aviation authority said in a statement that one person, a Pakistani resident, had been killed in the attack.
It comes a day after a strike on the same airport killed 13 people and injured 308 others.
The Houthis in Yemen said they were behind them and warned airlines and passengers against using Saudi Arabian airports and airspace.

Inside the secret factories making Britain’s fake cigarettes – Behind The Investigation | BBC News
One in every six cigarettes smoked in the UK is counterfeit.
In this episode of BBC News Behind the Investigation, Melanie Stewart-Smith talks to File on 4 Investigates reporter Jane Deith about how the team uncovered the global criminal networks flooding Britain with fake cigarettes, and the human cost behind every cheap pack.
Jane explains how the team traced the supply chain from secret factories in Belgium to corner shops, minimarts and cash and carries across the UK.
We also look at why gangs are moving from drugs to fake cigarettes. A former senior Europol official says they now make as much money as they do from drugs, with far lower prison sentences if they’re caught. The profits are being used to fund weapons, people smuggling and even terrorism.
Do people really know what they’re funding when they buy cheap cigarettes?

Americans will head to the polls in 17 days to decide how the rest of Donald Trump’s presidency will play out.
Thousands of races are taking place across the US, at different levels of government, on 3 November. But the main event for voters will be electing members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the two chambers that make up Congress. Both of them are currently controlled by the Republicans, the president’s party.
The success or failure of Trump’s final two years in office could rest on the outcome.
The BBC examines the key battleground states and what the Republicans and Democrats are doing to win these crucial midterms.

I am still in therapy due to the childhood trauma and PTSD I suffer from. I would never take another persons life unless it is to protect my family or myself. She was heartless. I don't believe in the death penalty but I am not sorry that she met her end this way. RIP to Bobby Jo and my heart goes out to her late husband and child. May that family find comfort in one another.

Of course she knew she was going to be executed. The problem with BBC is that they want to hit Trump with this execution

This woman did have a truly horrific upbringing. Her mother was shit and she was surrounded by scum. It's awful and I feel very sorry for her.
But none of that excuses what she did. If you're mentally aware enough to premeditate everything and try not to get caught by the cops, you're not so mentally ill you can't be held accountable. Just because your own life was horrific doesn't give you the right to inflict horror on other people.

The truly evil people are those who cannot have remorse for the background that shapes a self-confessed monster. I wonder how healthy their minds would be after a childhood such as lisa's.

Whether she suffered abuse through tout her life isn’t the issue imo. Did she know right from wrong when she committed the horrendous act? Seems like she did.

Once again, the pity party routine for an evil human being. The most horrific things have happened to loads of people, without ever committing a crime, let alone Murder.

NOTHING ANYONE can DO to a child MAKES them become a murderer. It is HORRIFIC and it's ABHORRENT, but it can NEVER EVER BE the REASON for ANYONE to murder. There are MANY people who have suffered worse then she was treated and never murdered anyone.
