4:02 pm
president donald trump accused russia of violating the 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 a 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 bought it really but russia has not fortunately wanted the agreement so we're going to terminate it we're going to allow. 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.
4:03 pm
withdrawal has caused shock in moscow. 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 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 or 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. more on the story now with
4:04 pm
all of our meyer from the german institute on security and international affairs here in berlin he's an expert on weapons of mass destruction all over thank you for joining us in our studio we have seen the u.s. and russia accuse each other of violating this treaty have there been serious violations here the u.s. allegation towards russia is that russia has been developing and christmas for many years now it has publicly accused russia since two thousand and fourteen of developing this missile russia has refused to show this missile and that's actually stirring suspicions that there is something to these allegations because why would rush are not demonstrate that it is in compliance russia in return has accused the united states of several things including. installing missile defense installations in europe that are capable of also launching offensive systems this is something that also could be cleared by transparency measures by inspection so the means are
4:05 pm
there to clarify this but so far we haven't got the political will to do that ok now you mention in two thousand and fourteen it was president obama at the time that it's use russia violating this treaty yet the u.s. at that time decided to stay with the agreement what do you think is behind the timing of president trump now saying. u.s. will no longer remain party to this treaty that's very hard to tell this came a bit of a surprise. the president made this announcement on the sidelines of the campaign really two weeks ahead of the midterm elections so i think it's obvious that there is some domestic reasoning here also and some some hope i think that this can be seen as as as during his space also he said there wasn't a lot of political will to implement this treaty was it clear that it was no longer working no i think there is a will to implement this treaty but there was no will to actually terrify these allegations i think that's the problem here and particularly russia has
4:06 pm
first said we don't know what missile you're talking about for many years and it denied that such a system actually existed then it changed its narrative and conceded that there was this new christmas i know our view is that it's in compliance so there are questions about the russian story here now president trump also talked about china in his reason for withdrawing from this treaty and critics have pointed out that china is not part of this treaty it has been able to develop missiles at will is that a problem that this treaty has not addressed in the past yes it's a bilateral treaty that was negotiated between the soviet union and russia thirty years ago so it's an old treaty it's a kid in needs to be adapted so far it's been a russian demanded other countries join this treaty that street is much actualized now the u.s. picks up on this argument says it's unfair that other countries are not bound by this treaty clearly the problem is what are the united states and russia willing to
4:07 pm
offer these other countries to draw in the accord just to simply demand that they also forgo these nuclear options is not sufficient and there's no answer to that question to start all over myer from the german institute on international security affairs thank you so much for joining us. now to some other stories making headlines around the world the number of people killed in a coal mine accident in eastern china has climbed to three state media says eighteen people remain trapped underground two days after a part of a tunnel collapsed in the mine more than one hundred fifty rescuers are involved in the recovery operation. nineteen people are dead and dozens more injured after two buses crashed in eastern punjab pakistan police say both buses were speeding when they collided twelve members of one font family died in the accident and authorities say the death toll may rise a major hail storm brought flooding and traffic disruption to rome on sunday night across the italian capital drivers were forced to abandon their cars and they'd
4:08 pm
sheets of ice left behind by the storm floodwaters also retarget with the roads and the freezing weather system followed a period of unseasonably warm weather israeli security forces have shot dead a palestinian man who attacked a soldier with a knife in the israeli occupied west bank the soldier survived the attack it is the latest in a series of deadly incidents that have increased tensions in the west bank this month. a top official from turkey's governing a k party says the killing of exiled to saudi journalist. at his country's istanbul consulate was planned quote in a savage manner media reports say a video has emerged which appears to show a man wearing kushal cheese clothes leaving the complex later in the day turkey's president is expected to reveal the results of turkey's own investigation on tuesday. this is previously unseen c.c.t.v. footage of jamal khashoggi same goodbye to his fiance it was the last time she saw
4:09 pm
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 the component of the mistake was the time 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 ben some on the international community remain 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. and u.s. president donald trump agreed in
4:10 pm
a phone call on the need to clarify the cheshire case or 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 but through some ordinary steps in all its naked truth. britain france and germany also reacted in a statement condemning the killing and demanding clarification. alternatives. that we condemn this act in the strongest terms there is an urgent need to clarify what happened this issue is far from having been cleared up those responsible are still not held accountable. i agree with all those who say that the already limited arms exports can't continue in the situation with currently in.
4:11 pm
blix 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. let's bring in chief political correspondent melinda crane for more on the story hi melinda how much of an impact will the chancellor's decision to suspend exports have on saudi arabia. well germany is a very important arms supplier for saudi arabia it's also a very important trading and investment partner so what we're seeing unfold here in germany right now not only the decision to suspend arms exports but also the fact that a number of very important companies are pulling back from attending a coming saudi investment conference for example that definitely does have impact but i think there are essentially two factors to consider first of all what will
4:12 pm
happen the contracts for arms exports that have already been signed will those two not be carried out that would certainly increase the magnitude of the impact on saudi arabia the opposition the junior coalition partner is pushing for that as are some of the opposition parties but it's unclear at the moment whether the government will in fact apply this suspension also to already signed contracts secondly there important is whether other european countries follow suit and also say they will not continue arms exports to saudi arabia britain france they have condemned what's happening but they haven't said they're suspending their arms exports and as germany's economics minister rightfully pointed out today unless they do so as well they'll simply jump in to fill in the void when germany pulls back well and in general how do you think this controversy will change how germany deals with riyadh going forward are we going to see a real change in ties between these two countries. hard to say germany's government spokesman said today that saudi arabia is an immensely important strategic partner
4:13 pm
for germany as of course a very very big player in the middle east as a trading partner but he also pointed out the germany and saudi arabia have had what he called nuanced relations for some time and that essentially reflects the fact that arms exports for example have been controversial for years now both because of saudi human rights abuses but also because of the saudi arabian involvement in the war in game and in fact the coalition agreement between the two coalition partners who are governing here in germany said that there would not be further arms exports to any country involved in the game and war that hasn't happened so far but that shows you this is an item that's been on the agenda for a while and basically for the last nine or ten months germany and saudi arabia have scarcely had diplomatic relations both countries have pulled back their ambassadors after journey germany condemned saudi arabia's holding of the lebanese prime
4:14 pm
minister if you remember he essentially disappeared for a week and was thought to be essentially held captive in saudi arabia so for all those reasons these are very difficult relations will this now be a tipping point very hard to say because in fact the saudi market is so important for the german economy and for that reason i think there will be a lot of relations a lot of reluctance on the part of german industry to say we're going to put this relationship on freeze these chief political correspondent melinda crane melinda thank you very much. now to lebanon a country that hosts more than a million syrian refugees many live in extreme poverty and often parents see no alternative to marrying off their children to save money aid groups have warned that the number of child brides is growing in lebanon where there is no minimum age
4:15 pm
of marriage did. travel to a refugee camp in the bekaa valley in an exclusive report she met a fourteen year old girl on it 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. the stent is home to her her mother and three siblings it's difficult to make ends meet with u.s. troops got a bonus little bit i need to pay for electricity household expenses rent i also have medical expenses two of my children have chronic 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
4:16 pm
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. and who also will 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 let a study even my son who is top of his cluster now has to work. that
4:17 pm
last year or ten burnt 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 like all 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 goes right to them marrying them just on paper but it's not officially registered anywhere. or a lot less follow it up. such a law is nowhere in sight however and so in a few weeks mother will become yet another child bride in lebanon she'll be sent back to syria to her future husband. you're watching

their journey many say that the life back home is much worse with rampant violence poverty and hopelessness. now in brazil social media companies claim they are cracking down on a flood of fake news ahead of this weekend's presidential elections it is the second and final round of the ballot where the far right front runner jar full sonora was facing its leftist rival fernando had dogs but how doc says his opponent is behind a campaign spreading false and demeaning claims about him and thousands of online messages with federico bashir from social media to tell us more about the story so what messages are some brazilian voter seeing well we've seen a number of examples circulating on what's happened which has over one hundred million users in brazil and of course part of facebook and one of these messages for example it's a video of how dad getting in and out a ferrari which is of course a hugely expensive car could cost over
4:36 pm
a million dollars in brazil and arguably it's arguably a suspicious thing for her to own since he's a former mayor and college professor and the claim here was that he owns this car and that he was going to the airport with it which is folds on both counts because that video was actually from two thousand and sixteen and he was taken at an event and totally goes racing circuit in sao paolo and had a vice presidential candidate yes she was also targeted some of those messages for example a picture doctored picture that shows her supposedly wearing a t. shirt saying jesus is a transvestite potentially offensive for christian voters and she herself shared the post later singling this out to speak and saying pay attention lies shall not get through share the truths and we've seen even more extreme claims being made in
4:37 pm
some of these messages for example that had dad was going to legalize. what is also now saying about this message. well he has denied completely denied any involvement in spreading them and he told his supporters to stop doing so in fact this was after brazilian media reported that it was some of our supporters who financed and started this misinformation campaign on whatsapp and we've seen that the brazil the brazilian federal police is also looking into the matter and also what's up itself and they've been they said they've been taking steps to try and combat the problem . they have closed down some accounts that were spreading some of these messages including for example an account belonging to one of the sons. to see what impact all of this has on the second round of voting this weekend in brazil all right federico from our social media desk thank you very much.
