thank you. and there's lunch must today is a rowdy prince between turkey and saudi arabia over a dissident journalist disappearance the u.s. gets caught up in the diplomatic crossfire regarding its response are you assuming that taking time to put out a statement means that the state department has not been doing anything coming up to the few the world chemical weapons watchdog gathers to discuss funding of a new power that the o.p.c. been given that will allow it to determine guilty parties russia slams the move as an illegitimate initiative. france is developing a toxic has to be used on its caribbean territory of martinique island to say

parachute on up to poisoning the. point here this would have small dingy of the safety sites not trying to you know tunnel it was from here and the reason our health agencies officials and no one the alerted the population. by their five pm wednesday afternoon moscow my name is kevin no in this is r.t. international great to be company first developments regarding the dissident saudi journalists who were missing in turkey more than a week ago security footage new in today has been obtained by a turkish t.v. channel which shows you entering the saudi consulate in istanbul he's not been seen since may the latest on this is our senior correspondent war against. new details and accusations are emerging with the disappearance of

a dissident journalist after he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul days ago we saw c.c.t.v. footage apparently showing jamal the shoghi fierce critic of saudi arabia entering the consulate new footage released by turkish media shows a black vehicle with tinted windows entering the premises of the consulate shortly after and leaving just minutes later the predominant theory echoed by both turkish and foreign media is that he has either been kidnapped or murdered and the saudi arabia is using the confusion to shift blame the use anonymous social media accounts to blame turkey and imply that turkey is behind the disappearance of shogun they are trying to say we murdered him but we will put the blame on another country meaning turkey saudi arabia has since allowed both journalists and investigators into the consulate the show that. isn't there days after his

disappearance although considering that all they really have to do is show him leaving. responsible for showing that this person made his way out of the building obviously the consulate responsible for that you don't have cameras there who should do so you have to prove that he left the premises why did you do that you should prove it the b.b.c. interviewed mr shrug just days before his disappearance and they asked him whether he would ever return to saudi arabia. of a list of a friend who did. committing the towards to be of this to make you feel as you do mr shoghi who has more than a million followers and twitter has been a strong critic of saudi arabia for what he says is censorship and human rights abuses and has recently been writing columns for the washington post. the paper said that it would be a monstrous and unfathomable additive he has been murdered and with this much

attention in the case where about to find out more sooner rather than later. u.s. state department officials say they've spoken to saudi arabia over the journalist mysterious disappearance because he had spent the past year in america increasing concern over the fifty nine year olds well first seen pressure brought to washington to from all sides including american journalists and it's nearly a week it's wein first reports of this disappearance and that statement from secretary pompei oh are you assuming that taking time to put out a statement means that the state department has not been doing anything is that your assumption of what was the state department doing the state department was engaged at the highest levels and also at the working level and having conversations with saudi government officials and i'll leave it at that and so what was the reason behind that delay statement i wouldn't i wouldn't call it a delay why has not secretary pompei is said that if the reports are true and the

saudis our allies turn out to be cold blooded killers that there will be repercussions we're going to wait until the facts come out and we call again for a thorough and transparent investigation or be repercussion again let me say this one more time i'll leave it at that i don't have any i don't have anything more for you on this today last time i'll say this i don't have anything more for you on this today i don't have anything more for you on that and when i do i would be happy to give it to you. well the executive director ron paul pace institute told us donald trump needs to tread carefully over his response see or risk alienating a key middle east. the president is in a very delicate and precarious situation because on the one hand he's tied his mass to a degree to moderate and some of the crown prince of saudi arabia so he's going to go over there and he's going to start accusing them of murdering kushal ji then who's going to fight who has middle east policy in a shambles so he's in a very delicate situation i think it really underscores the toxicity of the u.s.

saudi relationships which we actually see being unraveled as was for the. house where this wednesday's bridge cavaney his his first arguments as a u.s. supreme court judge the bitterness and the anger of his opponents over his appointment remain his role as ever caleb open takes a look at how it could have long lasting political repercussions after a great deal of controversy brett kavanaugh has been confirmed on to the u.s. supreme court is that justice now as if all that controversy weren't enough we now have donald trump throwing some fuel on the fire on behalf of our nation i want to apologize. to bread and the entire kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure that's after civility disappeared as certain elements just wanted to stop brett kavanaugh in the twitter verse things got particularly ugly a late show writer boasted about having ruined kavanagh's life would have happened

i'm just not bieber and brett kavanaugh and i and furthermore we got a google exactly i had to delete the following tweet you are finished g.o.p. you polish the final nail for your own coffin you all to hell it wasn't just on social media things got pretty nasty in real life with activists harassing senators and it turns out that some of them were actually on the clock getting paid while they did it. there were people who are paid by organizations like ultraviolet to try to harness that energy in a way that would make the viral moments that we ended up seeing on the right wing the favorite buzz word was mob the mob descended on capitol hill they have encouraged mob rule mob rule the room of the mob conservatives utilize the chaos in the capital in order to rally the troops and raise money like after ted cruz got harassed in

a restaurant by activists. be. relieved they're not married only if you made cruz's campaign says that the viral video boosted support and donations some experts are saying that this mob strategy is backfiring their tactics had to haul that in so republicans and so you know if independents even more than the prospect of impeachment those we've used everywhere because it's effective. and other republicans who are running for office are following suit fighting swing voters turned of by how come when i was treated and we're responding now brett kavanaugh has confirmed he's on the supreme court that confrontation is over and it's starting to look like not only did the democrats lose but they alienated a lot of people in the process ok look him up and r.t. new york the whole covetous saga has provoked strong reaction all round plenty of celebrities weighing in to courses they like to do sharing their views with

millions of social media followers and loyal funds to try again next time so that even a simple tweet from one of those said stars can stir things right up. today here to tell you about taylor swift no it's not that i switched to m.t.v. she's out there in the top political headlines because taylor basically just said she'd vote for the democrats. will. this is serious news and one taylor swift fan is disappointed. well haters are going to shake shake hate hate hate hate hate guys from the right wing cam are razor sharp now taylor swift is a traitor they're saying but just a little while ago people on the left were telling her off for being too politically lazy not only as the voice of miss with mighty enough to sway an army

of young voters you might well see her let's say out the united nations in a few years we've been there with some other celebs i'm not here as an expert we have failed the right thing to perform plays let us not fail them again there is no turning back it will be more and more up to the likes of oscar or grammy winners to fix trouble around the world like issues with sudan we are here to ask it's a very simple food is that the government came for jews to stop did we kill you. and children rate being the stuff. mr clooney actually got detained for that your favorite t.v. or music stars are all over the place with their movements campaigns charities some end up in the news for their political messages more often then for what

they're famous in the first place and dammit within a matter of weeks society is not working the way it used to. think me too for a sec sexual abuse has been institutionalized in this country i think women i think survivors i think men are are not going to allow this to continue and we're going to take back the house and maybe even the senate some of their efforts might crack you up a bit and what about free stuff about gender equality yeah you know it's when. how can. we like. i'm so embarrassed right now where they meant to be funny. or. have mexico they. should but it all seems to be from the bottom of their heart.

to. create propaganda. but. that's my feeling when the lines between politics and showbiz are blurring for good it seems just look at them. i think you're a great kid and a best friend. back at you. you're very handsome or you're not but if you thank you thank you very much thanks very much we'll see you tomorrow well. you will. from this supposed fifteen to twenty kilometer deep net bar for a zone around the evil of provence by wednesday october tenth which is today within next five days all the military is included in ready called jihadists should also

leave this area so that they soon may start functioning properly as it is supposed and agreed to it is very hard to. verify. independently that used information but we hear from some opposition groups including those inside the province and these based outside syria from turkish media as well that the reason progress that is huge on the ground a tang small turds rocker's multiple launch assistance have already been reportedly removed from this area and that may sound like a positive achievement but we also know that not all the radical extremist groups agreed to participate in this initiative so this is why everybody tends to speak about the success with a certain care and within the next days we can say that the fate of syria will be decided. focus on french island of martinique in the caribbean say their health is

at rest because of a toxic pesticide seems that chemical banned all mainland france itself is being used on their island it's been allowed for use on the banana plantations for decades another claim is causing serious illnesses to. in the nine hundred seven this is these kind of ground it was banned in the usa the said during this period plus started using it in martinique until ninety ninety

four so the question is why. for years we have sworn i had an inhaled these past a size not one year old who was finance and the regional health agency knew officials knew and no one population this is very. soon it's not possible to get an estimate of the number of patients who are victims of the article the priority is to determine the number of farmers who were working in the banana plantations i don't know there are hundreds many of them have died of prostate cancer many had premature babies why did they not french people eat the sweet potatoes because they contaminated but they let us eat the same potatoes

trying the same period and. when one is aware that a product is toxic and still use it as assassination that is murder the french state is complicit in this assassination because they use of toxic products. and so bad the state must take its share of responsibility for this belief must make progress in the past the for the duration and projects i hope that collectively will put our efforts towards zero quartic over infinity that's the only thing that makes sense so please if east were not once did facts are there and out terrorism then it is unfortunately irreversible wasn't. i expect the culprits to take responsibility and face the consequences. trouble in paradise island on the way don't shoot the messenger is the message news agencies back peddling up for sharing scientific research just in people go green

and by having fewer kids it's gone down pretty much as you'd expect it would tell you will. seem wrong. just don't all. get to shape out these days become educated and indeed from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected

. so when you want to be president. some want. to go right to the press this is what the three of them can't be good. i'm interested in the water how. should. i get the global chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w.'s currently holding talks on possible measures and funding that would allow it to crucially apportion blame jaring its investigations the head of the russian delegation at the o.p.c. w. that was slammed that idea and called it a political tactic let's get across it more of it. on this story today hey there so the russian delegation clearly angry at what's being proposed here yes. well indeed

have and this is happening at a session of the o.p.c. w. where russia is in fact expressing very strong opposition to the idea of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons being able to assign blame and point fingers outside of the usual scope that has existed until recently where they investigate the use of chemical weapons so this is something that russia says would is in violation of international regulations specifically taking away the parag from the united nations security council which is essentially in charge of dealing and ruling on issues of war and peace as it was said here is some more detail from the russian envoy to the c.w. . we believe that the potential decision on the budget which according to the secretary its plan should increase by four million euros is illegitimate it's a direct outcome of the decision taken in june we believe our colleagues are

planning to use the money for granting power to the a.p.c. to identify the guilty and we believe that decision should be blocked. well of course one of the concerns there is all of this comes at a time when we are seeing a sort of anti russia euphoria and a wave of believe being assigned against russia so indeed this has all come up this summer where the u.k. had the initiative to put forward this idea of allowing the o.p.c. w to assign blame as part of its work and we know that eighty two countries out of one hundred ninety three members of the o p c w had supported this idea where twenty four voted against it and twenty six abstained and the others just didn't participate in this vote and the russian envoy to the o.p.c. w. also pointed out that according to him the. accusations are

baseless. talked about how neither the o.p.c. w. nor porton down were able to assign the origin of the novel chalk being talked about he said that he thinks there is no doubt that porton down has previously worked and continues to work with novacek type agents he's also talked about how over one hundred forty peyton's linked to talk sic agents of this type have been issued in the u.s. and also denied any accusations made against russia just last week trying to blame it for attempting to carry out a cyber attack at the o p c w. the briefer from london a. french news agency a.f.p. has found it so think targeted on twitter of publishing swedish environmental research which suggests that having one less child could reduce people's carbon footprint kind of sounds like common sense rationale anyway but it's generated

a remove sarcastic angry tweets in response. but it must be said the news agency then distance itself from the research point pointing out it was simply reporting the information of others people in parish or the thoughts about the study. i don't think we should stop having children just for the sake of the environment i think it's a rather moronic thing to say now that's a concern i think we on me to drive less other things which. i find this idea shocking. is a personal choice of will not allow anyone to come and tell me mr you have three kids that are too much you should have just one all none a tool to save the planet is beyond the pale you can't just tell people hey stop

making babies that's enough for me and those who sat that must have smoked weed or something that's not normal. what about our freedom what kind of country can imagine its future a green future with no kids i mean we might as well all stop breathing and make a green panic once again but then there would be no more human beings of course this is shocking because i do think that they're great the french love their children they like children and in no way go we could be convincing them that they have to reduce their carbon footprint or be more environmentally friendly if that means having less kids i think that's the worst argument that you can you can expose if you want to defend the identifying today why is the a.f.p. not talking about pollution in france by major french corporations those are real issues if you want to reduce pollution across today french people are concerned by the environment but telling them all is said and that the solution to one of the ideas could be having less children are comparing major countries which are polluting with just fresh families having kids is i would resist really say

preposterous this makes no sense and i should a he should be quite ashamed of what it did. let us know what you think about that story or any others that r.t. dot com of course i was going to comment section as i was going to hear from you for now for this bulletin it's given over to moscow saying thanks for watching. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. fortunately most just as they would a simple they want to become lost and enter another one the last one just about but

if many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sites the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities the best person to ask than call mom. policy to point out how they are the best when i get a man or a westerner what that. they have or what are their options to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house all over for the gravels. also if you put the if you beat out the the government assisted struggles of many couples won't. kill the chance of putting food impulse response both of you upwards of up to the whole of the.

hello and welcome to cross talk for all things are considered i'm peter all of l. descending into tribalism and cultural trench warfare the highly contentious brett kavanaugh supreme court nomination process has ignited passions and anger on both sides of the aisle interesting lee and ironically the point where there is white agreement is the recognition the status quo is deeply flawed and sadly with no way out.
