jack. was. the u.s. national security adviser stays in washington who would review its agreements but leave america exposed to the international criminal court hours after the same body orders washington ten minutes from some of it's a wrong function. the british prime minister attempts to daunce off mounting pressure as to reason may get a letter of no confidence from her own party members just moments before giving a speech. also this hour donald trump warns the king of saudi arabia that he wouldn't last two weeks without the u.s. military as the us president continues to accuse opec of influencing oil prices.

because if you. were protecting you you might not be there for two weeks without you have to pay for your bill and you. also mixing big politics with energy president putin suggests donald trump should take a look in the mirror to find out who's responsible for the rise in oil prices. a warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me karen great to have you with us this hour now our top story of the u.s. national security adviser john bolton has announced that america is pulling out of an optional protocol to the vienna convention which will keep the u.s. from being sued by the international court of justice and it looks like the u.s. could soon leave other international agreements to

a similar con explains. to simplify it a bit what the u.s. is withdrawing from is an optional protocol on disputes to the vienna convention which will prevent countries like iran from suing the u.s. at the hague national security adviser john bolton tried to justify the withdrawal by patrolling the provision as a violation of u.s. sovereignty citing a case brought on by palestine contesting the decision to move the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem but let's check out how bolton explained it we will commence a review of all international agreements that may still expose the united states to purported binding jurisdiction dispute resolution in the international court of justice the united states will not sit idly by as faceless politicized claims are brought against us earlier today pompei announced to the world the us was leaving a friendship treaty with iran that established diplomatic ties with the country back in one nine hundred fifty five it was apparently

a response to the international court of justice fooling that ordered washington to lift iranian sanctions on humanitarian goods which pompei are described as iranian propaganda or as attempt to interfere with the sovereign rights of the united states to take a lawful actions necessary to protect our national security. and iran is abusing the i.c.j. for political and propaganda purposes of course this isn't the first time the us has showed a complete disregard for the international system earlier this year the u.s. withdrew from the human rights council but this leaves one question how will the u.s. or any western country be kept in check without an effective international governing body it looks like this will revive a some of those discussions. a lot is weapon a video agency has been asking people into wrong what they think about the international court's ruling on lifting some of their wrongs simon's. you and your world knows that the us is while into the war they don't have an all of their own

were they signed the nuclear deal and now they've changed their mind even those problems with our country accepted that this act is a legal donald trump a scrape really crazy what is the same when he doesn't understand what his same. officials and even civilians say we should stand up against america's excessive. this ruling will not please mr trump and his friends and we will see their reaction but it will be futile because that in the us acted against human rights the he grew and is completely sound food medicine thirty was old go towards people's livelihoods they should never have to leave the. executive director at the wrong paul pace institute believes these latest developments leave america looking like an unreliable partner well you know you this is the another example of the united states talking about the rules based democratic order and expecting everyone else to follow it but when it comes time for the united states to follow what you know

they just simply change the rules and i'm certainly not a fan of the united states being governed by world bodies and accountable world bodies but the issue with the with the palestine issue and also with the iran issue is that there are specifically you know we signed this agreement one hundred fifty five agreed to be adjudicated by the international court of justice and then when they rule against united states we say ok we're going to take our toys and go home it doesn't look good it sets a bad precedent and it also makes the united states look like look like someone you can't do business with overseas. britain's ruling conservative party has wrapped up its annual conference and despite speeches of unit say their prime ministers a position is under further scrutiny from policy members just moments before to resume a was due to give her a keynote speech she was dealt another blow with the lesson of no confidence and all that it seems to have done pins her spirits.

a series of mays small jake to dung sing queen which we've had to change for copyright reasons wasn't public performance of the kind and is seemed to be the prime minister responding to those who mocked her dunce moves while on a tour of africa organist and i see a check in a report on the conservative party conference. certainly curious political times here in the u.k. as we speak and this annual conservative party conference has wrapped up to quite a bit of drama despite british prime minister theresa may putting up a show of keeping up appearances including with that quirky dance to dancing queen despite a speech that was really seen as make or break for her because of course much of the speech was dedicated to theresa may trying to show that she has things under

control especially when it comes to bracks it having essentially now standing at a point of a potential no deal brags that having so no lots of division inside the u.k. and of course essentially having created basically a civil war inside her own country may was trying to show that she can still fix things however before her speech she was dealt quite a shock blow when a letter of no confidence had been sent by a tory m.p. going public with him essentially calling for her to go let's see what that letter said. comes a point the loyalty is not the right way forward we need a strong leader someone who believes and brags that and someone to delete would the electorate voted for the brown minister seems incapable of doing this well at fifteen percent of tory m.p.'s or forty people would have to send in similar letters for any such thing to be considered however this still of course added fuel to the fire especially given that earlier we saw to reserve maize our former

defiant foreign secretary boris johnson take to the stage as well and essentially trashing her approach to bracks said amidst standing ovations and earlier in september a leaked tory party memo had suggested that theresa may would be forced to step down as soon as may twenty ninth and even provided a list of possible contenders so what with all of this discontent going on inside her own party at these uncertain times about how things will move forward there's a big question of whether or not it's really the time for humorous down says in her speech prime minister may insist at this she will see out her so-called checkers plan and breaks it and rebuff to the idea of a second referendum she also outlined a new strategy for battling cancer and said they feel duty freeze will be part of the government's next budget. jeroen soon for the u.k.

independence party thinks to reason may's words won't mean action. i listen to the streets to dari and it's what she does best really which is a lot of rhetoric foreign words which don't really amount to anything certainly don't translate into actions i think she's going to carry on on the same course which is to in effect completely ineffectually negotiate with the she was a reminder up until the day of the referendum and then after the referendum she gets intrusted with the most important job in british politics you know for the last two generations which is to get us out of the you so why would you believe anything she says you can only judge your own results and so far there haven't been any result she talks about seeking respect from the e.u. that's the other thing why would they respect you if you're not actually telling them what it is that you intend to do and you keep on asking how do we leave can we have this come have a little bit respect somebody like that. donald trump has claimed that the saudi

monarchy wouldn't last two weeks if not for the u.s. military the u.s. president's fiery assessment came at a campaign rally in the u.s. state of mississippi but he didn't give any specifics about a conversation he had with the saudi king which he referenced. we project saudi arabia would you say the rich. and i love the king solomon but i said. you were protecting you you might not be there for two weeks without us you have to pay for your village and. trump was referring to the us being the largest arms supplier to saudi arabia with over sixty percent of all saudi weaponry bought from america washington also has sanctions in place against riyadh's regional rivals like iran the us leaders words also seem to be a part of his last thing twice a campaign to global oil cartel opec which includes saudi arabia to know what oil

prices by increasing production he made his frustrations public to leaders at the u.n. general assembly last week opec. and opec nations are as usual ripping off the rest of the world we defended many of these nations for nothing. and then they take advantage of us by giving us high oil prices not good well international all economists mundo salame a told us trump is wasting his breath if he thinks his comments will change oil production and prices he is a fear that is part of the my lose the election because of rising oil prices this he cannot change nor my farewell much we shout oil prices are going up because there are. good fundamentals in the global oil martens

on a range of different issues. there's been discord in germany on what should be unity day with rival rallies needing to be kept to pass the details when we come back. lead. lives. i've been saying the number. they matter us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth if you want to be ultra rich with six percent market so thirty percent this one is pure dumb with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and

one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a are you industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need remember it was one you know for the mid one and we. welcome back now protesters lined the streets of berlin on wednesday to oppose a right wing march through the german capital and demonstrations coincided with the annual unity day celebrations to commemorate the reunification of east and west

germany hundreds of counter protesters sounded slogans and held a gun as in opposition to the march the police attempted to keep the right wing demonstration under the counter protesters separate from each other using barricades and vans to prevent clashes between the groups. meanwhile elsewhere in germany the teenage daughter of a right wing politician has been disqualified from a poetry contest softer waiting out an anti my good poem has the verse. only. aid in the ongoing. even. though. what you just heard was part of a poetry competition that was organized in southwest germany by a council as part of an anti racism initiative the entry you heard was by.

the fourteen year old daughter of a right wing german politician her controversial entry provoked this reaction in the hall was well despite that reaction she was disqualified from the competition in fact there were boos when a different winner was announced there has been backlash though her mother the alternative for germany m.p. nicola has said that their house had been dogged in spray painted with nazi slurs this type of reaction to a teenager's poetry isn't surprising in germany right now the political divide in the country hasn't been this prominent in recent times in fact we've seen a number of right wing demonstrations across the country that were really sparked into existence following the stabbing to death of a thirty five year old german man in the city of camden it's the two main suspects

in custody a two asylum applications one from iraq and one from syria was i i was and all of this has played into the hands of the anti migrant alternative for germany party when they entered parliament just over a year ago and twenty seventeen with just less than thirteen percent of the vote they weren't really expected to build on that too much to leave. tectonic shifts and after quick it looks like the c.d.u. will be electing the chancellor but they lost dramatically is it a bit a loss no their country it's a broken our democracy for the first time in seventy years we have a nationalistic right wing populist party partially reflecting that see ideology in parliament it is no surprise that a.v. has grown stronger the shock for everyone is how much stronger it has become fast forward to now when the polls show that almost one in five germans is on side with

alternative for germany the most recent poll showing that they would take over eighteen percent of the vote if an election with held today coming only second to the union of the c.d.u. and c.s.u. headed up by angela merkel dissatisfaction with angola merkel's government is reasonably high here in germany but what these recent polls show is that if an election was to be held tomorrow well the chancellor wouldn't have enough votes to put together the current coalition government and a considerable minority among the german population has lost its trust into the christian democratic union into the social democratic party end of the established politics and media system voting for that if de is mostly or even completely an emotionally driven voting those who vote for the a of d. simply want to be clear we have lost trust in the its political parties for want to

punish them of the most severe punishment for the political establishment is looking for the f.t. and this is how things are going on in germany right now. first it was the presidential election and that alleged assault on american democracy but now russia and charles are up to something even more sinister they've hit a galaxy not so far far away apparently targeting hollywood and the star wars franchise. picks up the story. hey america they stole your election hey britain they stole your dream of a united europe democracy will never be the same because of russian memes thralls boughts well surely there is something still sacred in western culture off limits to the russians.

oh no the kremlin folks even got their hands on star wars russian trolls weaponized style was criticism as an instrument for information warfare with the purpose of pushing for political change this was from a real study by a brave jet i call or i mean who claims there's been a force that was fighting to make the last jet i fail wow thirty seven pages remember how the movie got booed at when those need fans couldn't forgive the director for spoiler alert killing luke skywalker and forgive him for going against all the tropes so dearly cherished by the fandom remember how the star wars lovers army even campaign to fund a remake well now you know who did it the sith sorry the russians had a great disturbance in the force as millions of doses suddenly cried out into the

sun his son just to prove it the guy behind the research analyzed almost a thousand on line messages for the director and his result was more than half of the hate tweets came from trolls some of them were russian. the director didn't just pay attention he shared the link to the study with his twitter followers. looking forward to reading it but what the top line describes is consistent with my experience online well some vans got even more disgruntled when they said they found their own tweets in the research it was a bad movie highly unlikely that it was a dry run for bots to practice we hated this film too loved rogue one but were totally underwhelmed by the last gen don so much so that my eldest questioned if it

is worth going to the cinema to see any more disney star wars so it did nothing to make me change my mind. mark a very disturbing it wasn't disney not even the director it was the damn room. in a historic move north and south korean soldiers have begun removing landmines from the demilitarized zone which is separated the two nations for more than half a century the buffer zone runs for two hundred forty eight kilometers and was created when a cease fire was declared in the korean war in one nine hundred fifty three is believed these are some of the first pictures of the operation in action around two million mines are thought to be scattered there between the border fences which are guarded by hundreds of thousands of troops the agreement to clear the mines and destroy guard posts was agreed last month after the two leaders met in pyongyang where during that summit north korea agreed to demolish its nuclear facilities on

test sites and accepted international inspections both nations agreed to eliminate so-called war dangers and set up a piece on their shared border their leaders pledged to connect railways and roads between the two countries and help families divided by the korean war to meet once again they also valves to make a joint to bid for the twenty thirty two summer olympics. well there is all the headlines but they still wake i'd be back in just over half an hour with the latest to see that. america is a house deeply divided and that division only continues the entire brett kavanaugh saga has turned into blood sport to many each and every one of us pick a side we're in new territory and that place is called winner takes all.

cooked additional note of what was and etc to linger some of these it's just too much usual conditional on the. list. c m do you have to rename if you think our show proceed. with a showing of the where. you think it should be. the state senate. vote of shipping. yep and most of the book is the work of the person able. to say no i do know what the movie. was the latest was in the put us. at arsenal poison all right so you have put on a. little fish through some really strong yeah. it's. quite

frankly i think only just misses in libya i have deteriorated and have fragmented and it is extremely important that we have a new digital receiver over the presidency that has the vote of the libyan people people who have aspirations like freedom and they do have aspirations like living in dignity and quite frankly to deny them the right to vote with the pretext that oh it's not time yet or you don't have bread so you should. before the vote you should vote for people who would provide the bread and who would provide the services.

about an interesting start up that is literally out of this world all that directly ahead but first we get to some headlines let's go to. the u.s. government has been ordered by the united nations international court of justice to lift sanctions on iran that would have interfered with the importation of humanitarian aid the court ruled today that the u.s. government must lift the sanctions that impact iran's ability to import. things like food medicine and even airline hearts the court said that any limiting of things like food and medicine would have a serious impact on the health of the people who live in iran while the sanctions on airline and aviation parts would endanger their own air safety and speaking of iran the u.k. multinational big bank standard chartered is being investigated for breaching sanctions involving iran based customers of its dubai branch the bank may have

continued to violate sanctions by processing u.s. dollar transactions for iran controlled entities even after it was fined six hundred sixty two million dollars back in two thousand and twelve for such violations this was before such as on iran were lifted in twenty fifteen as part of the iranian nuclear agreement as a result some say standard chartered may be looking at a one point five billion.
