2:02 am
london have issued a joint statement demanding that saudi arabia clarifies the circumstances off the geneva stay with for the first time german chancellor angela merkel said that she backs a freeze on sales to the kingdom. first we condemn this act in the strongest terms so there is an urgent need to clarify what happened this issue is far from having been cleared out and those responsible are still not held accountable. i agree with all those who say that the already limited arms exports can continue in the situation we are currently and. or and for more now on the political correspondent kate brady is joining me now in studio kate so saudi arabia is the second biggest buyer of german arms we know that not even the given conflicts has been a deterrent in terms of their relationship do you think that this is going to be
2:03 am
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 countries 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 all the cabinet members including the german foreign minister it does seem that this could indeed be the final straw all right so we now have from saudi arabia the riyadh sais that yes he did die in a fistfight inside its consulate in 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. the u.k.
2:04 am
demanding an urgent clarification of exactly what happened to 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 just 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 this year and germany and saudi arabia returned to their ambassadors and just in september they had actually gone through some long months of rather for steve frosty relations due to some comments made by the former german foreign minister
2:05 am
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 of the western european powers we could see that relationship to to write in once again right. political correspondent kate brady thank you for your insights president donald trump has told reporters that the u.s. will unilaterally pull out of a nuclear arms agreement with russia the landmark intermediate range nuclear forces
2:06 am
