days to then expected to be met by counter-protest. in germany. and the people of cuba old one did intend to. hold its first parliamentary elections in nearly a decade but voting goes ahead for a second day. thanks so much for joining us. u.s. president donald trump has told reporters that the country will unilaterally pull out of a nuclear arms agreement with russia the landmark intermediate range nuclear forces treaty was negotiated more than thirty years ago by then president ronald reagan and soviet leader mikhail gorbachev it bans nuclear and conventional missiles with rangers of five hundred to fifty five hundred kilometers is what donald trump have to say russia has violated the agreement they've been violating it for many years

and i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate for full out. we're not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement they go out of their weapons and we're not allowed to we're the ones that have stayed in the agreement and we've done it the agreement but russia is not fortunately under the agreement so we're going to terminate their bravery we're going to pull out. from all this let's go to call do we have the nonproliferation expert with jane's and international security analysis from is in seoul welcome donald trump says that russia hasn't on of this agreement does he have a point what he might have a point but the question really is whether this is a sensible way of handling the situation the u.s. has accused russia of violating the i ness it's twenty fourteen and twenty seventeen u.s. defense officials support units of the result had been deployed so it really is

a concern to us nonetheless the i know is a key part of european security and there's a big difference between fixing something which is broken but still serves a purpose and one for discussion. or suspending participation or effectively drawing from an agreement which still benefits your allies the other dimension here is one that there's no in the clear agreement which governs u.s. and russian e.g. weapons would you quote me start the limits of this treaty and in twenty twenty one and us decision make is might be looking to improve their hand in negotiations for these negotiations or indeed to improve their hand in the asian theater china which has an intermediate range ballistic missiles is not party to the i.m.f. in terms of the i have a daughter of the i and of the of the current agreement in question of this has been credited with ending this missile i was stunned of the big system during the

cold war in europe is that now under threat. to a degree. i mean we really need to start thinking about short and long term implications here historically in. ninety's after the soviet union deployed its own a new form of intermediate range missiles the s.s. twenty which really prompted europe nato and the us to deploy its own. intermediate and the weapons against this backdrop however we had much of our invasion and integrate professional between the two superpowers. to be convinced that to be impeding european security the same a short term nuclear weapons between the us and russia will still be dominated by the us to teach it cost knolls of the intercontinental ballistic missiles. but the

danger is in this in the longer term. that both sides will be tempted to deploy intermediate range missiles so for example the us is already mandated by congress to research intermediate range missiles i'm in contention is that if both sides at least in it we reengage is european security with much greater new kit i mention and the whole. of the cave wanted in the situation for not but if it is an expert call jury speaking to us from seoul south korea thanks very much and thank you. coming out of the eastern german city of princeton divided today by a dual demonstrations thousands of anti-racism activists of their calling for respect inclusion and german rights of this is in response to another demonstration also currently underway organized by an anti islam and team vision group known as biggie it's marking the fourth anniversary of its founding days of movement rather

than a political party campaigning against what it sees as there is to my position of europe the father of populist which is now the main opposition party in bollywood as cold begin its natural ally. and the new prof is reporting for us from addressed and we're good to see you give us a feeling for the mood in the city today. i would characterize the mood as actually rather somber and serious the people behind me are what looks to be thousands of people protesting peta and there's definitely a sense that it's for real now for a long time these sorts of counter-demonstrations counter-demonstrations against the far right attract a lot of left leaning people lot of kind of people and here today really for the first time we see a wide spectrum of organizations of groups of political parties from the left all

the way through conservatives joining together nine as many as nine different organizations coming together to speak in almost more of more or less one voice and you see that behind me happening right now sachs in the state premier michelle cut from the c.d.u. that's i'm going to merkel's conservative party he just spoke to the crowd talking about he said that the future of democracy in germany is up to these very people i see behind me so it's it's relaxed people aren't afraid but it's definitely somber and serious a number of demonstrations are taking place all in one city give us a bit of context will why are these demonstrations or could have been based on. dressin its first of all the capital of this state in what used to be east germany it's no stranger to far right violence the far right movements former eastern germany has been left behind largely economically speaking when western and eastern germany united more than twenty or thirty years ago and whenever there's an economic troubles in areas not unique in this certainly not unique to germany or

not unique to parts of eastern germany economic troubles are fresh breeding ground for breeding ground for racism and for some very nativist ideas that try to push people out and look for easy targets in this case often refugees migrants people of color people who are most vulnerable in society and here you have behind me people trying to show a different church of dress in and of a former east germany in general that it's not just the far right who are living here and have a viewpoint but also a very loud signal to be welcoming and open. reporting for us from dazed and in eastern germany thanks very much. that is all the other stories making news around the world at least seventeen people have been killed and more than one hundred injured in a train derailment in taiwan the express train was carrying more than three hundred passengers to type a city on the southeast coast the reason for the disaster is still unclear.

the right to vote today i came out here and voted for my favorite candidate and did my part for the future of afghanistan. which happened more income planck's and though i've come here to vote for person who should work to bring security to the country i asked people to come and vote for prosperity in afghanistan i know it's a major step that these elections are happening at all they were originally scheduled to be held three years ago but ongoing instability has forced many delays ten candidates have been assassinated and just this past week an attack in kandahar province killed the chief of police and wounded the provincial governor leading to further delays elections there are planned for next week. voters are choosing representatives for the two hundred forty nine seat lower house a strong turnout could indicate that institutions are functioning both during the government's legitimacy in the eyes of the people the final results won't be known

for at least a week. or more i'm joined in the studio by bus from d. the blues of gun services let's welcome good to see you first up and given the logistical and security challenges if you've seen associated with this board how credible do voters and candidates see this well there have been numerous complaints by voters and candidates alike a lot of voters have been there have been reports about what voters have to say in the media and the afghan media and they have been complaining they are saying that they actually wanted this process they want to express their freedom of. their right to vote but they were denied this by the government and of course there are also a lot of candidates who are saying we didn't have a real chance because of what happened yesterday to lots of allegations already flying at all not just what itself was delayed for three years long overdue and even off the bat delayed as in going to these massive problems what does that say

about the. democracy in afghanistan well there are two things to say about the state of democracy one is the people want democracy i think they have proved that they want democracy and the second thing is that the government fails to provide democracy to provide them this democracy they are yearning for for years now they have been organizational issues one of the reasons everything was so chaotic chaotic was because of the biometric voter system that was introduced very late so yeah you could actually see that this was going to happen how important is this war going to be for the of gun process barely elections are an important part of it but then how important what impact will they have for the entire peace process i think it was important to us to to in a symbolic way to show to the taliban that we are doing everything for democracy and this is what we want this is what the people want but on the other hand i don't

think that it will have a strong impact on the peace process itself. well let's see it but there's of course a lot of violence yesterday and today today the polls were open as well as we know and yet it is very problematic until so until now one of the important parties in addition to this entire peace process is an old school the voting is the taliban how do you see the role of the taliban shaping up in the future of afghanistan if. i think they will gain even more importance and we will see this probably in the next presidential elections maybe they will have their own candidate but we'll have to wait and watch and see how this goes on dede of those must love has it up as he me thanks very much for coming into the studio and analyzing this for us. you're watching the news live from blaine they'll be more coming at the top of the on don't forget you can always get all the latest news and information on the talk
