veto means this country will start pursuing a less forceful approach in dealing with state sponsors of terrorism, and potentially opens up u.s. service members, diplomats, and companies to spurious lawsuits in kangaroo courts around the world. >> for more, let's: a political scientist and the chairman of the air council for social science. welcome to "dw news". a few months ago, the saudi said they would withdraw $750 billion in assets if this past. do you think that is a reciprocal measure? >> this bill that was just past, they think this bill unfairly targeted them.

there is a sense of going after the billions of dollars that the saudi's have in the united states, so it would be advisable to start inc. of addressing how you retrieve some of this money, and that motion has already been thought about, but one thing that is there for sure, the united states is not going to be a safe haven for investments in the future. >> you see this having financial consequences. how do you see this affecting diplomatic ties between saudi arabia and the u.s.? >> some 70 years of special u.s. -saudi arabia relationships is at risk right now. saudi arabia and america have a

great deal of cooperation on many bills and concerns, so i think one of those areas that would be affected in the future is any reducing saudi arabian, golf, arab cooperation when it comes to fighting terrorism. i think these are all at stake. future cooperation is at stake. this is all a bad bill that has just passed in this congress. >> just briefly, what kind of relationship do see between saudi arabia and the u.s. of donald donald trump is elected president in november? >> i think saudi arabia just like the rest of the world, we will be in for an uncertain time.

the world is full of uncertainties, and with the election of trump, that uncertainty will multiply. it will be a concern to saudi arabia, journey me, to everett -- germany, to everybody who knows him because this guy is unpredictable and will be a president you don't even know what he will be saying or doing the next day. a huge dose of uncertainty will be pushed into global politics. that is a concern of saudi arabia, you, and everybody else. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> while many americans are praising this new law, it has been met with outrage and scorn and saudi arabia and the middle east. a saudi american tweets, iraq, afghanistan, and vietnam, must move now to have a similar law.

the whole u.s. money supply will not be a voter compensate people murdered by the u.s.. families of the 9/11 victims are celebrating the veto, a group advocating for more information about allegedly asked. they say they want justice and a verdict. chuck schumer, a u.s. senator, says overwriting of veto is something i do not take lightly, but said it is important a be allowed to pursue justice. officials in the u.s. state of new jersey say at least one person has died after a commuter train at a rail station. more than 100 people were injured, some of them critically. some of the injured being brought to the hospital. the train left new york and collided at a platform in hoboken. investigators have been dispatched to the scene. rail services in and out of hoboken have been suspended.

trying to take things seriously. there is no notion or indication of seriousness of purpose with what is taking place right now, so it is one of those moments where we will have to pursue other alternatives for a time barring some clearer indication by the warring parties that they are prepared to consider how to approach this more effectively. >> our correspondent in washington has more. good to see you. unusually clear words for a diplomat. is the u.s. serious about suspending talks with russia? >> i think he is. i think he is just expressing years of trying to find a diplomatic solution to the situation in syria.

instead, just seeing how it is getting more and more complicated especially since russia is part of the team he has to deal with since the past year. this cease-fire is not the first one that had been broken, but what they ae seeing now, the u.s. administration, of innocent people being bombed and aleppo, that is beyond words, and obviously president bush are al-assad and president putin are taking advantage in the united states knowing the obama administration is coming to an end being an election, so it was likely nothing will happen. the world is just watching this conflict and not doing anything about it. what can we expect in the next few days. >> is there a plan b here? >> he has not said what his plan the would be, but it is clear the obama administration does not want his in u.s. troops into

syria. their information is lighting -- fighting isis with other countries as a terrorist threat and security threat for this country, so it is not clear what to do. it is just based on hopes that may be russians and syrian troops will stop what they are doing and come back to the table , but none of this has happened in the past year is why we are talking. >> we are just six weeks away from the u.s. presidential election, is the issue of a war in syria on voters minds there in the u.s.? >> it's sort of is because both candidates talk about it. since the obama administration has always been criticized for a much politically for not intervening in syria, yet no one on the other side, neither donald trump or any republican in congress, has said let's send it u.s. troops into syria like we did in iraq, and we all know how that ended. >> indeed.

we begin with the india's response. >> its responsibility towards peace in the region, i hope at least now pakistan will stop aiding and abetting terrorists. >> i think india has been trapped in such a way that when the freedom movement in kashmir succeeds, that will be the succeeding -- beginning of the end of india. god willing, if they succeed, those who have sacrificed, india will disintegrate and not remain united. >> earlier we asked our journalist from the asia desk about the chances escalating in kashmir. >> it is unfortunate what has been happening.

they took on a good start, and they are business minded premieres and wanted to have trade between the two countries, but unfortunately the war mongers are being strengthened in both india and pakistan. i don't rank it will lead to a war, but the pakistani military, religious extremists, and the hindu nationalists in india will benefit from this conflict. this is very unfortunate and my opinion. >> we are joined now with fresh numbers on the u.s. economy. >> the world is watching the u.s. economy as the presidential elections draw near. in the second quarter, it grew at a faster pace than expected. april to june, gdp expanded at a 1.4% rate according to the u.s. commerce department.
