a terrific increase in the number of civilian casualties this year. good evening and thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. mystery surrounds the fate of a prominent saudi journalist who's been highly critical of the kingdom's rule family has been missing for almost a week now after entering a saudi consulate in turkey have been conflicting reports over what's happened the world's media that's been whipped into a frenzy over the story has more about the journalist disappearance where is journalist jamal. what happened to him. for an entire week nobody has been able to answer that question and. gaiters on the ground

who might be the closest to solving the riddle believe he could have been brutally murdered behind the walls of the saudi consulate and its stamboul alleged details of how it was done and clued sending over a fifteen man hit squad from the kingdom to make sure the man's dead anchor was shocked something so horrendous could have happened in istanbul prosecutes in istanbul is investigating the issue there is both a security investigation and an intelligence one it's the extremists the new and this incident took place in a country i knew to move through a long time so i still hold out hope good willing we will not find ourselves in a situation we do not want and still hope riyadh says it's got nothing to do with it all the claims are absolute blogs and official at the consulate general of the kingdom of saudi arabia in istanbul dismissed the report by reuters which cited

turkish officials the saudi citizen jamal khashoggi was killed in the consulate in istanbul he fishel strongly denounce these baseless allegations and express his down to that they came from turkish officials they were informed of the investigation or authorized to comment on the issue the saudi kingdom is transparency record has been poor to say the least but in a rare display of openness there officials even invited warders on a tour around the consulate. g lives and works in the u.s. but to obtain a license to get married he had to see saudi officials is definitely been to the consulate twice on september the twenty eighth and last tuesday that was when he disappeared now here's what's crucial mr has shoddy writes about the saudi government and it's not exactly glowing actually had been worried something bad could happen to him before the second visit consul to the. the journalists left his

cell phone with his fiance with instructions on what to do if he didn't come out soon the woman called turkish police four hours later when jamal was nowhere to be seen saudi officials say his stay at the compound was very short they were sure the journalist vanished once he stepped outside now they're looking for him to mr his fiance is full of hope he's not been killed but kidnapped rather. the story's been picked up by media all over the world one of the newspapers jamal wrote for the washington post came out with a blank column where they were supposed to print his piece but that hasn't helped there's been no trace of the man well washington's number one diplomat mike pump aoe talk to the saudi crown prince exactly a day after the mysterious disappearance they brought up all kinds of regional issues but didn't mention mr g.

if we're to believe the state department that really does worry though some people on the capitol hill this is outrageous that he's been somehow disappeared the administration needs to demand hughes release and subsequently inacceptable in a further sign that this crackdown on free speech is getting more serious we should probably be rethinking the political and military blank check we've been giving this odis what if the journalists never found alive donald trump's latest all related comments have already made washington react relations somewhat complicated the disappearance and the possible murder of jamal. may well make them much more tricky taiko in. expert at television averse they believe by providing no evidence for now both countries are hoping not to escalate the crisis . the two states are not willing to escalate this situation because if one of them

will release such c.c.t.v. records it means that they are going to provide concrete evidence and with this kind of a concrete evidence and new diplomatic crisis will be inevitable between the two states and as far as i understand and now they are trying to find a proper solution in order to end this crisis and that's why today the turkish foreign ministry asked the saudi consulate to open the gates of the consulate so that they can get in in order to search for it we still don't have any evidence says. moscow has responded to dutch allegations that russian spies tried to hack the international chemical weapons watchdog with foreign minister sergey lavrov noting that the claims were designed to attract maximum attention. to discuss the incident with artie's medina. the real incident took place vaca in april last year but let me tell you that the real scandal unraveled last week when

the government held a press conference that actually arranged into some kind of a high profile event and that particular press conference of the defense minister accused of russian citizens of an attempted cyber attack on the organization for the proposition of chemical weapons the minister even had a name for what happened back in april and called in a g.r.u. operation well if you have been following the news in the past couple of months well you already know that g r u has become some kind of a bogey word to the west or thirteenth of april this year. carried out an operation to disrupt. operation targeting the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons b. c w the hague there was nothing secret about the visit by the russian technical experts it was a completely transparent and routine business visit well right after that

particular incident the russian foreign ministry actually published a statement with the fool explanation of what happened let me just give you some details from that statement now of the ministry explicitly said that there was nothing extraordinary that the russian delegation checked in at the marriott hotel which is located very close to the o.p.c. w. had quarters this statement the ministry statement said that the hotel has been used by the russian delegations for decades as it is located just five hundred five hundred meters away from the russian embassy and that also explains the fact why there were so many russian cars parked outside also it was mentioned and that statement that the dutch so. was very well aware of all these facts presented in that statement but still all has been portrayed as something from

a spine movie really now as you mentioned this has all been going on since april was there any reaction back then well back then actually there was no reaction from any side the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov even said today that back then it all looked like a misunderstanding. russians that. weren't given any explanations or any opportunity to contact their representatives in or embassy in the netherlands and to leave it really looked like a misunderstanding especially given the background there were no protests. in moscow nor in the. russian foreign affairs minister sergei lavrov said that the situation surrounding the so-called russian spies on the netherlands is a deceptive maneuver and that the story was made public especially i had a needle needing between minister is so that the timing is not at all accidental.

the un report notes an appalling increase in the number of civilian casualties in afghanistan victims from bombings using improvised explosive devices known as i e d's have risen twenty one percent in just the last year deaths from suicide attacks there are even worse forty six percent report shows the story of a teenager injured in one such attack. i was taking part in a cricket match at the time after the game some of the guests were to give speeches but before those got underway i heard an explosion and saw smoke i saw my blood and realize i've been injured i started running there was a second explosion and i fell to the ground and lost consciousness it's inhuman to attack players of the game. it's seventeen years since the start of the us invasion of afghanistan despite the war the taliban has only increased its influence and now controls almost half of the whole country director of the u.k.'s crisis research institute says washington doesn't want to admit defeat in a failed invasion. well we're seeing the radicalization of afghanistan on almost

the syrian model if you like ironically as the civil war in syria has wound there's been an increase in violence and so on and it's probably the most violent conflict in the world at the moment the use of these kinds of attacks is where you both spectacular it's also very unsettling because what it shows that the afghan government and its allies the americans and british and so on can't really control the situations of britain and america from afghanistan recently through syria and libya and should have shown we're very good at destroying things smashing up our plans but we don't we don't do reconstruction any more just look at the fate of mosul in iraq or rock or in syria that are divided councils in washington i think probably trump would like to disengage from any of these wars which are costly both money and men for the americans and not particularly successful on the other hand the pentagon doesn't want to admit defeat and the taliban of course since in that perhaps it's getting close to the victory on its turfs doesn't feel the need to talk to the americans but the taliban also may feel that talking to russia talking

to the neighbors were who will help to create a situation. a post-war settlement in afghanistan will be acceptable to the neighbors. a controversial right wing a dubbed the trump of the tropics as one of the first rounds of brazil's presidential election and by a large margin however the narrow failed to secure the fifty percent needed to avoid a second round runoff is supporters have taken to the streets claiming fraud is the heat of this high stakes election turns up reports. yes brazilians cast their ballots but we're going to see a second round as none of the candidates was able to get their fifty percent needed to win outright it is yet too early to say who will rule the country next but many predict victory will go to the current favorite they winner of the first round the most controversial candidate this so-called tropical try. mr ball sonora

people have grown tired after twenty years of left wing government also narrow is not corrupt he's for family values and ethics he's our only hope and that is why i'm here to do only one who is going to rein in care of her country will handle corruption improve our education system if she doesn't win i don't know what really happened i am here to celebrate and i'm here because i'm hoping for a new and better brazil so who's both sonar and why did he become so popular it would be fair to call him a new face in brazil's political life confronting traditional approaches with fresh ideas and far right congressman former army captain both sanaa is not affiliated to any major political power in brazil he's also famous for his hard stance on laur issues including a tougher punishment for offenders and controversial views. they're

both of you if you thought go too far we'll go. doffing with poor. little. of the new and old guard to fit. your view of the world you have to understand the popularity of mr controller see let's take a look at brazil ahead of the election widespread nationwide corruption has become the biggest concern with former presidents jailed impeached and the current president under investigation following fraud scandals many thought enough is enough next security with the murder rate at an all time high seven people were killed every hour last year economic challenges were just as serious with thirteen million people unemployed and let in america's largest economy coming out of a dramatic and prolonged. recession people went to polling stations frustrated

angry and tired. that there have been so many thieves and people cheating us and our country that's a disappointment to me spaces and we need to brazil those better than those if not for us for the sake of our children point you sort of people know what's going on and they feel unsafe even to walk on the street how can they be comfortable knowing they can be easily mogue all worse at any moment both sonora has ridden public criticism of the failing ruling party promising changes that people of brazil so desperately wanted some may say that with forty six percent of the vote in the first round he managed to convince the people that he's capable of fixing the problems while many others see it as a simple protest vote against they stablish mint and in this case south america's largest country may need to embrace and no other trump type leader sitting in the hot seat. journalist probing misuse of e.u.

funds is found dead we'll have details of that story after the break. unfortunately the united nations security council in its approach to yemen is only to this into the space that employs reports every month or two months and then the percentages when we exceed their own i mean that meant to be presented to the security council it would make their statements which are always that if you do. you know world big partners the lot you can. it's time to wake up

to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other culpable both sides are and fans following the example set by their heroes. they've been a number of reports and footage of rival fans juking it out with each other in the aftermath of this fight but then again what did they expect they both corner and had be their teams their fans they cultivated this rivalry this hatred to a level that's out of control but hey cohen is offered a rematch now wouldn't that just sell.

a day hard work well work is not easy. and so they want to relieve their stress and how do they relieve their stress these men that outweigh these men that comfort these men that. people have been murdered up here people can raise their massive drug issues up here give a boom you have everything else that comes along with money. live. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars.

china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one doesn't show you you know for two minutes one can only. make this manufacture consent to. public wealth. when the ruling class is one protect themselves. the family. be the one percent. making all middle of the room sick. leave the real news is really.

not. oh such heat up the. phone. call welcome to sophie and co i'm so see shevardnadze the war in yemen is getting more complicated by the day with an imminent humanitarian disaster looming over the warring factions can anything be done or is it too late today a top to former foreign minister of yemen dr abdul up here beat. the

war in yemen is taking a new turn every billion in the strategic border spread across the south calling for a bird to shoot of the country while the saudi led blockade is threatening yemen with full fledged famine any kind of solution be reached at this point is a military victory possible for any warring sides and one. the ways out of the current stalemate. dr abu bakar are. the former foreign minister of yemen welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us now dr and this situation in yemen wasn't complicated and now protests have now broken out in the south of the country where the south a transitional council supposedly backed by the united arab emirates calling for a popular uprising to restore independence of south yemen is yemen had it into complete collapse. i hope no three i think the.

situation is very serious and deteriorating by the day because you know serious action has been taken by the government of yemen or by the international community and the sponsors of the peace in yemen and because of the loss of direction and loss of ability to and that has turned to the basics of all these conflicts and. the many layers and the conflicts since the situation is deteriorating and will continue to do so yes unfortunately the issue of the demonstrations and the issue of the humanitarian issues are very serious at the moment but. i think they are already flexion of the was but most of the hope of a new solution coming forward in the end.
