doubts over official account of the step as well as the claim that the country's crown prince had no part in the killing russia has promised to reveal the results of turkey's investigation. this is previously unseen c.c.t.v. footage of jamal khashoggi saying goodbye to his fiance it was the last time she saw him she waited for hours in front of the saudi consulate while her husband to be was killed inside the saudi foreign minister described it as a tremendous mistake. who did this to the scope of their authority there obviously was a tremendous mistake made and what component of the mistake was to come to try to cover up we are determined to uncover every stone we are determined to find out all the facts while riyadh denies the involvement of crown prince spends all month the international community remains skeptical observers questioned whether casualties death was indeed caused by

a fistfight the possible premeditated nature of his killing seems to be underlined by the arrival and same day departure of fifteen saudi men reported to be inside the consulate on the day he died. on sunday evening turkish president received. and us president donald trump agreed in a phone call on the need to clarify the case or the one said his country would disclose the result of its investigation in the coming days. what. we are looking for justice here and this will be revealed in all its naked truth that through some ordinary steps but in all its naked truth. to japan. britain france and germany also reacted in a statement condemning the killing and demanding clarification. some alternatives are taught in us that we condemn this act in the strongest. there is

an urgent need to clarify what happened this issue is far from having been cleared up those responsible and still not held accountable. look i agree with all those who say that the already limited exports can't continue in the situation with current layin on them doesn't he starts in. on the name them all nukes and. saudi arabia is germany's second largest market for arms sales observers say freezing arms exports to the kingdom could weigh on bilateral ties for years to come. and let's get more political correspondent hans brandt joins us in the studio welcome to you hans as we just heard there saudi arabia buys german arms the germans have continued to sell those arms despite the conflict in yemen do you think the case could be the final straw or one has to say that there's a new coalition between. those and the social democrats in the coalition agreement

which they signed in march so that they would not sell all this to any participant in the human conflict that includes saudi arabia so there is potentially a new situation there but in fact a large number of arms exports have been approved before the us government took over and those exports are continuing in fact this year there were more than four hundred million euros of exports that have gone to saudi arabia already this carries obviously makes the situation creates a new situation in in a lot of ways and since this german government as narco himself says is already hesitant about exporting all the saudi arabia i think this case potentially could lead to a situation where germany will simply stop those exports completely how much leverage would you say the german government has when it comes to saudi arabia well the relationship between germany and saudi arabia has been turned. in the last year or so the previous foreign minister the german foreign minister accused saudi arabia of engaging in in adventures in his region i think he was talking about the

conflicts in yemen that led to saudi arabia withdrawing its ambassador from germany last year and only this year in september when the new german foreign minister apologized for misunderstandings between the two countries the ambassador returned . it's a tense situation and it was in fact being in some sense repaired in the last couple of weeks and the situation with the cartridge case leads to further tensions and it's unclear where it's going to be let's talk a little more about those tensions because we know that i'm riyadh for its part that it says that there was this fight in the saudi consulate that ended in accidental death but international powers they are not buying it are they so what comes next very unclear i think the international pressure for some sort of deep an investigation into what exactly happened there is rising and germany great britain and france have demanded a further investigation and

a clear identification of those responsible and punishment of those responsible there is some kind of talk about some united nations investigation possibly being the start of all of this case being positive international cold in the hague so there is going to be further developments on that line and it will take some time before i think everyone will accept what the explanations are that are being given political correspondent hans ponte thank you. u.s. national security advisor john bolton arrives in moscow today for what could be fraught talks on arms control that's after washington announced that it would withdraw from a nuclear arms agreement with russia u.s. president donald trump accused russia of violating a thirty year old treaty on intermediate range missiles and threatened a fresh arms race with moscow. 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 go out and do weapons and we're not allowed to wear the ones that have stayed in the agreement and we bonded greatly but russia is not unfortunately 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 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 u.s. 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 sunday of the dangers of

a political roll back and read nuclearization. and u.s. allies have also warned against trying to decision to pull out of the treaty we asked the w washington correspondent alexander phenomenon how much support there is in the u.s. for this move and why well when you talk to nuclear arms experts they tell you that they are very concerned saying. and would speak very dangerous and that could kick in the an 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 of them 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 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 her child that was not a signatory of this treaty. alexandra phenomena in washington you're watching d.w. news still to come italy is banks are in trouble again while rome and the e.u. are at loggerheads over government spending now moody's has downgraded the country's credit rating to one notch above junk status for later with care. of first a quick check of some other stories making news around the world u.s. president donald trump says that full efforts are being made to stop the progress of thousands of one door and migrants making their way to the u.s. border he says that they have to apply for asylum in mexico and if they don't the u.s. will turn them away the group crossed into mexico from guatemala over the weekend.

australian prime minister scott morrison has officially apologized to thousands of victims of child sex abuse he admitted the state had failed to protect children and institutions like churches and orphanages the apology comes a year after an official inquiry revealed widespread child abuse over many decades and eighteen people have been killed and more than one hundred seventy injured after a passenger train to northeastern taiwan investigators are still examining the cause of the accident the island's worst rail disaster in more than three decades. to lebanon now which hosts more than a million syrian refugees many living in extreme poverty and often parents see no alternative to marrying their children off in order to save money aid groups have warned that the number of child brides is growing in lebanon where there is no minimum age of marriage. or him travel to

a refugee camp in the bekaa valley in an exclusive report she met a fourteen year old girl was about to be wed. they last fall when i was just starting a new semester at school. this year she's getting ready for her wedding but i stopped going to school in the seventh grade because i got engaged my mother knows him he came and told her that he wanted me and that was that. the mother has just fourteen years old when her fiance first brought her her engagement ring it slipped off her finger and had to be resized to fit her small hand. she fled war torn syria to a refugee camp in lebanon's bekaa valley. this tent is home to her her mother and three siblings it's difficult to make ends meet. with u.s. troops got a bonus if they say i need to pay for electricity household expenses rent i also

have medical expenses two of my children have chronic asthma when they have attacks at night there's nothing i can do. mark won't be the first in her family to be married off as a girl her mother wed when she was fifteen eight organizations say the humanitarian crisis has seen child marriages increase within syrian refugee communities. many like matter who no longer have a childhood with few responsibilities to look forward to. who also will know what i have to get married because of our situation there are many things i need that i can't get i don't have any married friends and don't really know what marriage is. in lebanon one in five syrian refugee girls between fifteen and nineteen is married with more than two thirds of syrian refugees in lebanon living in poverty many parents see marrying their children off as the only option to pay the bills.

if we were in syria and there was no war i would never have done this i would have left a study even my son who is top of his class now has to work. that last year or ten burned down i'm still in debt because of that we left with nothing but the clothes on our backs. but parents are not the only ones to blame there is no minimum age of marriage and lebanon and some religious communities groups even younger than fifteen can marry activists like him nor are calling for that to change. a lot of the clan they call how we need a law that would set the minimum age for marriage at eighteen and to punish the shakes who officiate such marriages they're giving away it goes right there marrying them just on paper but it's not officially registered anywhere. or

a lot less for a lot of. such a law is nowhere in sight however and so in a few weeks we become yet another child bride in lebanon should be sent back to syria to her future husband. well vote counting is now underway after afghanistan chaotic and deadly parliamentary elections authorities had to extend voting hours after hundreds of attacks killed more than fifty people over the weekend despite the bloodshed about half of afghanistan's registered voters braved the polls in the first such election in eight years. for the second day in a row long queues formed outside polling stations in the afghan capital some people waited for hours to cast their vote although doing so cost dozens of people their lives on saturday. on the first day of voting militants launched deadly attacks in at least ten provinces but in a country where elections when possible for years even the threat of death wasn't

enough to stop citizens from exercising their democratic rights the afghan president was full of pride in a world see that the afghans didn't only show their enemies that they wouldn't surrender to any threats or warnings they also showed the world that they will only accept democracy in their country. but again there were problems with the voting process devices used to identify voters didn't work and there were reports of election materials being incomplete or missing entirely but it was our mayor did and we came here to vote yesterday but there were many irregularities the biometric system failed and there weren't enough workers at the polling center we are all here to vote again today but everything is very slow. and in. the afghan government has promised to investigate all complaints but the credibility of this election is increasingly being questioned according to the national electoral commission almost

one hundred fifty polling stations remain shut on sunday. some sports news for you now we're heading to formula one and ferrari is can be right conan has won the united states grand prix the flying fin lead into the first corner but later lost the lead to mercedes driver lewis hamilton after sebastian vettel spun out how well tim looked on course to seal the championship but a lack of grip forced him to stop for fresh tires the best he could do was third sebastian vettel managed to rejoin the finish fourth meaning i will tim will have to wait another week for a chance to clinch his fifth world title. spain's mark marquez has stormed into his third straight moto g.p. title with victory at the japanese grand prix markus secured the championship with three races remaining the spaniard is now part of an elite club of riders he's

turned out of five from her classes were from near class world titles with australian legend mick doohan only two riders having won more but mark has had first to overcome a wobbly start. mark marquez started sixth on the grid but the spaniard was more than capable of doing it the hard way with poor laps to go the honda driver made his move overtaking to cocky rival beats yours or who had led for most of the race the italian try to snatch back the lead but crashed out instead. mark has held on to take home his third straight moto g.p. title afterwards he credited victory in the last reason aragon spain for setting him up to claim championship glory at the earliest opportunity. i feel really really really well through it because you know i was a champion of that when i already feel you already

a margin that there maybe will be a year by the you know a good thing or the difference is when you have the first times i knew the even a dislocated shoulder sustained after some post race over exuberance couldn't dampen marquez's mood he told reporters he simply planned to take it easy on the dance floor during a well earned night out. here and we're heading to italy for all the wrong when he says. moody's has cut italy's credit rating by one notch over concerns about rome's plans for larger deficits and the already high public debt low nevertheless costs of borrowing are dropping this morning for italy as moody's said it did not expect any further downgrade and left the outlook that stable rome also says it's ready to discuss its budget with the european commission after clashing with the bloc last week over its plans to

increase borrowing italy's shaky banking sector though remains an underlying concern though it has only just recovered from the financial crisis but now italian banks are being pressured by the new populist government into financing their expensive election promises. banks are in trouble again. just as they were getting over the last crisis. bad debt is shrinking cash reserves were growing and bottom lines were beginning to shine. least twelve banks had a market capitalization of one hundred thirty billion euros. since dropped to ninety five billion. and they continue to lose value. part of the reason is the new government in rome and its budget plans the. government. that brings more money into the treasury if the banks don't cooperate rome is

threatening to raise taxes the value of the government held by italian banks as high as their own capital reserves situation. guidance causing alarm in brussels. in banks. well because we're not really worried about this poker symbols in front but it's happening in italian markets. yes hard italian market is so are the italian ten year bonds the crisis is a gauge of the past weeks and also the banks are gaining this morning and that's because over the past two weeks the mood has been so negative that any sort of positive news is received while the positive news being here that moody didn't show up for a further downgrade by putting the outlook at stable and also political comments italy reiterating that it wants to stay in the euro that's been positive if you ask

people here they're also not so worried about a crisis a full blown crisis coming up they think if that might go this direction the e.c.b. would step in. the markets in front also on the dark. last week what's driving the. one of the big winners zene mends and that's a little bit surprising because the c.e.o. there is in the crosshairs right now about. possible taking part in the saudi business conference after the death of journalist jamal khashoggi hasn't yet decided whether he's going to take part now he's looking at your rock where the company may have a huge a billion dollar deal. renewing the country's electricity so that's a positive thing to look at it because it will be happy forwards in frankfurt thank you. the promise of more stimulus boost the

chinese stocks for a second straight session chinese president xi jinping has vowed to support the country's private sector beijing's plans to cut personal income taxes also improved investor sentiment following signs of slowing growth sit in the exit is known try foods largest gain in two years up to more than four percent. today. among the many headaches caused by briggs it a very particular one regards the british overseas territory of gibraltar the time the land strip of valley seven square kilometers is located at the very south of the iberian peninsula borders to the north by spain when britain leaves the e.u. next march that border will be more significant than ever as gibraltar which has limited self-government powers will then no longer be possible of the european union negotiations between spain and the u.k. appears to have been fruitful and a special segment of the breaks that agreement defining legislation fortune for all

time is ready but it can only come into effect as part of the broader bragg's a deal so as negotiations on that proved difficult people injured were also slowly losing sleep. over eight thousand spaniards crossed the border into gibraltar every day to work many are concerned that things won't be so easy once britain leaves the e.u. . that asking coming up instead of taking five minutes across the border it could take hours three to four hours. and they're worried about the same thing in the small spanish city on the border trade with the british enclave is a key source of income here and many fear that business will be hurt after breck's it. mean it was my business depends a lot of gibraltar that one of them is selling motorcycles that it depends as much as ninety percent i also sell furniture and the turnover that i make with your baltar and cross border workers is about forty percent for the sort of way that

would be and. gibraltar is one of the most densely populated places on earth and britons living here voted against bragg's it. just brought there is also a duty free paradise millions of tourists come here to take advantage of prices that don't include value added tax it's a good deal for everybody but for how much longer. today we don't yet have an agreement a final agreement a relation to matters relating to taxation and fiscal matters but i think we've made a lot of good progress there because we share objectives and so if you share objectives and you haven't yet reached technical agreement you can continue to be optimistic that the technicians will be able to give effect to the agree with him principle that there is between the politicians. the plan is for gibraltar to maintain its advantages both as a workplace and as a shopping paradise both spaniards and britons living on the rock want the same

things. uncle americal says berlin will limit the impact of bans on diesel costs the german chancellor says the bands are disproportionate in cities where nitrogen levels are only marginally excessive string of cities across germany are set to introduce bans on diesels instead of the primary cause of nitrogen oxides pollution merkel's government recently announced measures designed to rein in pollution levels while averting an outright ban one involves financial incentives for drivers to buy new cars but car makers are not happy with the idea of retrofitting their engines. it's all your business here's a reminder of the top stories were full. for you here on new german chancellor angela merkel has called for a freeze on arms exports to saudi arabia and the waco for killing off journalists come all. international leaders have questioned saudi claims the killing in its consulate in istanbul was accidental etc up to date thanks for watching.
