money was quite involved and i will give you your. business news live from there live german chancellor angela merkel's phrase for the country will not explode on to saudi arabia in the way off journalist jamal khashoggi still she calls on brioche to provide on since and say is that those responsible for his death must be held accountable also coming up. donald trump pulls out of an historic treaty banning

a wide range of nuclear weapons because of russian violations moscow cools the move a push for dangerous states. and a far right groups integrates its fourth anniversary in the german city of dresden twice as many concert demonstrations say no to say the phobia calling for inclusion and respect. for the land. i'm christine will welcome to the program saudi arabia's foreign minister has called the killing of dissident journalist jamal khashoggi a huge and grave mistake adel has also told fox news the us both costa that those responsible would be held accountable. died in the fistfight in the country's consulate in istanbul he was last seen entering the building on october the second

turkish officials suspect he was assassinated. now berlin paris and london have issued a joint statement demanding that saudi arabia clarifies the circumstances off the stand for the first time german chancellor angela merkel said that she backs a freeze on arms sales to the kingdom. first we condemn this act in the strongest terms. there's an urgent need to clarify what happened this issue is far from having been cleared out and those responsible are still not held accountable. because i agree with all those who say that the already limited arms exports can continue in the situation we're currently and. shut. down to name them all nukes and. all right for more now on the political correspondent kate brady is joining me now in studio kate so saudi arabia is the

second biggest buy of german arms we know that not even the human conflict has been a deterrent in terms of their relationship do you think that this is going to be the final straw and it certainly is looking that way in saudi arabia when it comes to germany's arms exports is quite an exception there is in fact a part in included in the current coalition government contract which states that germany would not export any arms to control involved in the yemen conflict with the exception of any deals that were made before this coalition was formed earlier this year but it does seem with the kind of rhetoric that we're hearing from merkel and other cabinet members including the german foreign minister it does seem that this could indeed be the final straw all right so we now heard from saudi arabia the riyadh sais that he is did die in a fistfight inside it's constitution istanbul they've said that the crown prince mohammed bin silent knew nothing about that germany and other western powers

they've not quite bought into that heavy they certainly haven't and already just over the weekend we've heard now a joint statement from germany from us and the u.k. demanding an urgent clarification of exactly what happened and until that they are demanding that the explanation needs to be backed by credible facts and so we can expect i think to see more action and more coordinated action in response to what's going on right now merkel's already said today as well that she would continue to be in contact with her international partners when it comes to a coordinated response let's talk about the relationship between germany and saudi arabia going forward what's likely to develop in that regard but it really is quite interesting that german and saudi arabian diplomatic ties only really thought. just earlier this year and germany and saudi arabia returned their ambassadors and just

in september they had actually gone through some long months of rather faustina frosty relations due to some comments made by the former german foreign minister and so all of that work to rebuild could now be we could see that actually forming flacks now that the of course it was actually the former foreign minister gabriele who made some comments which was interpreted as criticism of saudi arabia an interference in lebanese affairs and so but it's now the current foreign minister who has been working in recent months to rebuild that relationship with saudi arabia but if the response that we see now from saudi arabia isn't to the satisfaction of merkel and other western european powers we could see that relationship deteriorate in once again right. political correspondent kate brady

thank you for your insights u.s. president donald trump has told reporters that the u.s. will unilaterally pull out of a nuclear arms agreement with russia but a landmark intermediate range nuclear forces treaty was negotiated more than thirty years of the by been president ronald reagan and soviet leader mikhail gorbachev it bans nuclear and conventional missiles with ranges of five hundred to fifty five hundred kilo mrs trump accused russia of violating the pact something moscow denies . this is what the drama is about medium range nuclear ballistic missiles that have been on a self-imposed by the u.s. and russia since the end of the one nine hundred eighty s. that may be about to change u.s. authorities believe russia may have developed weapon systems like these in breach of the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty. we're not going to let them violate

a nuclear agreement and go out into weapons that we're not allowed to wear the ones that have stayed in the agreement and we bonded greatly but russia is not fortunately on to the agreement so we're going to terminate it we're going to pull out. the kremlin has denied trump's allegations saying it has not produced any missiles that are prohibited by the i.n.f. treaty the prospect of a unilateral u.s. withdrawal has caused shock in moscow. as russia has taken trump's announcement very seriously various officials today have been warning of the danger of such a decision and of the serious consequences that it could have the i.n.f. treaty was seen as a major breakthrough in nuclear security when it was ratified by former soviet president mikhail gorbachev and u.s. president ronald reagan in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven it came after a tense period of confrontation in the heart of europe. with very short flight times nuclear annihilation of european capitals was only five to fifteen minutes

away trump has said the us will start developing these capabilities again if russia and china don't agree to stop have to develop those weapons unless russia comes to us and china comes to us and they all come to is that they say let's really get smart and let's none of us develop those weapons china is not a signatory of the pact and has been investing heavily in land based missiles now some observers fear it could be joined by russia and the u.s. in a new arms race. gorbachev warned on some of the dangers of a political roll back and read nuclearization. all right for more on this his cross to washington correspondent. hallett's u.s. allies have warned against decision to pull out of the treaty how much support is there in washington for the move and why well when you talk to nuclear arms

experts they tell you that they are very concerned saying that this is and would speak very dangerous and that could go and arms race an excellent excellent increasingly cold war like behavior among the u.s. russia and china trump is also facing criticism from democratic lawmakers one. that this decision would be reckless that the white house has to consult the allies in europe there are also republican lawmakers standing behind the president and we have to say that the you asked military leaders have been complaining for a quiet long time now that russia has been violating this treaty and that this treaty is the one sided constraints on the u.s. ability to come to a china that was not a signatory of this treaty and it's all of this as the u.s.

says national security adviser john bolton is heading to moscow for meetings with president putin and foreign minister lavrov how this how will this impact russia u.s. relations. well many experts here say the u.s. russia relations are there are low worst point ever and that's this announcement is not going to help of course and then we have to ask ourselves over john bolton is the right person to deescalate because he is known for his hawkish should be on russia on iran over issues and he was reportedly the one who was pushing for this plan for this was droll behind closed doors in the white house the u.s. has accused russia of violating the treaty on its part has the u.s. stuck to the agreements towards the terms of the agreement what we know there.
