these are to international headlines this weekend u.s. president donald trump to punish saudi arabia over its alleged involvement in the disappearance of that dissident journalist but with business brains on in washington as well trump also. protecting those billions of dollars at stake when it comes to. as to whether or not we should stop one hundred ten billion dollars from being spent in this country knowing they have four or five alternatives two very good alternatives that would not be acceptable to be. previewing to an historic result could be about to shake up the german state of bavaria as residents prepare to take to the polls tomorrow sunday with the alternative for germany party on the verge of breaking new ground in the country

a look ahead at. a recent study finds a third of young americans are too unfit to serve in the army battle against obesity commences in the ranks of the u.s. military to promote a healthy lifestyle. that we can welcome for me kevin or in things for choosing yes i'll be with you for next half hour with this live update from moscow the first the u.s. is treading very carefully over reports that it is behind the disappearance of that dissident journalist in turkey president of the trump has just promised to punish saudi officials if their involvement is provan but stressed is desire to to protect america's multi-billion dollar business deals with the gulf kingdom terrible in discussing about that if that were the case so we're going to have to see we're going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe. punishment we don't like

it and we don't like it even a little bit but as to whether or not we should stop one hundred ten billion dollars from being spent in this country knowing they have four or five alternatives two very good alternatives that would not be acceptable to big well that's his latest word in no german he was last seen entering the saudi consulate and he goes in istanbul on october the second no one has heard from him since turkey's not officially accused riyadh of being involved but multiple reports claim its intelligence service is evidence that not only was he kidnapped but also killed now for its part saudi arabia vehemently still denies any involvement despite the mounting pressure going on this weekend several reports of emerged that the u.s. reportedly knew of alleged saudi plans to capture because shogi news outlets have been citing intelligence intercepts and they're claiming the saudi crown prince ordered an operation to lure and detained him some u.s. senators are calling to investigate his disappearance and they're warning of

consequences for riyadh if the reports are found to be true but for his part donald trump is adamant that he won't break the strong economic relations between washington and saudi arabia at least for now caleb maupin reports if you thought that the disappearance of a saudi journalist in turkey would hurt ties between riyadh and washington wrong military and diplomatic ties are closer than ever and donald trump recently spoke up about why that is i don't like the concept of stopping an investment of one hundred ten billion dollars into the united states. because you know what they're going to do they're going to take that money and spend it in russia or china or someplace else the media was pretty shaken by his honesty if the saudis are responsible and this is the bully that everyone elected to push around the world leader said it would not be a good thing at all look at the messages he sent we don't mind dictatorship we have no interest in human rights. your country saudi has been

a client of the united states close relationship for a long time the administration and saudi arabia figure that they were so comfortable in their relationship with donald trump that they can get a green light seems to be admitting that u.s. policy in the middle east is not really about some moral impulse to spread freedom or humanitarian concerns he seems to be admitting that it's about money and selling military hardware the human rights record of saudi arabia has remained the same for decades but that's never stopped us presidents from swooning over the saudi royal family.

has a way of launching into true tantrums unloading unspoken realities about international relations for example this is his take on the u.s. invasion of iraq old expression to the victor belong the spoils you remember you always used to say keep the oil if we kept you and you probably wouldn't have isis because that's where they made their money in the first place so we should keep the oil but ok time for recently acknowledge that south korea is not completely sovereign in its actions like one south korea mulled over the possibility of easing relations with the north but they won't do it without her approval. they do nothing without her approval so to be clear donald trump is not changing u.s. foreign policy he loves the saudis he loves bossing south korea around and he is not talking about cutting the huge military budget however he's getting rid of a lot of the smoke and mirrors and telling things as they actually are kaleb up and r.t. new york. america replicate u.s. visit to the white house has been well publicized butt. hardly well characterize

the celebrities being criticized for lacking respect these not want to shy away normally and then staying true to form. said exactly what he had in his mind and you'd better say. he's been a friend of mine for a long time it was something that is how to make your life superman you made the superman. super hero this guy really give this guy. i love this guy right here. ok i'm doing this for everybody who's watching us or turn their volume down you can pull it back up again that if you think that kanye west is what happens when negroes don't read. and we have this now it's kind of a west is hardly a political philosopher and i've always believed an entertainer should first entertaining keep their politics separate from their art.

before the white house did you also then smoke it up a little bit in the bathroom when you were there i was trying to get so you say are you. sure that. i. i. vote is in germany's biggest state will the next government tomorrow sunday the right wing alternative for germany party is expected to end to bavaria is

parliament for the first time according to the polls and he said he tells us how the political landscape is shaping up. time is ticking away in the key german states of the various states election campaigns come to a close even the polls say it's time for our system party to end the medical c.d.u. c.s.u. looks set to lose the dominance it tells him to variance in the second world even taste sound tradition is apparently losing its appeal. and. now the c.s. use launched major rallies in a desperate and final attempt to attract those votes a swing that angela merkel's compassionate micra status is expected as the various tick in the second highest number of asylum seekers house and sixteen regions in the country at the height of the migrant crisis twenty grounded after one of the

aircraft crashed in south carolina apparently because of faulty fuel the trillion dollar f. thirty five program which was almost two decades in the making as a ready been heavily criticised for its huge cost and range of flaws. the f. thirty five spent a dream to fly its wonderful. leap . at least. the u.s. services and international partners have temporarily suspended after thirty five

flight operations. the enterprise conducts a fleet wide inspection of the fuel to within the engine known good fuel to are already installed in those aircraft will be returned to. the u.s. military. will tell you. the rest of. this ninety second break. join me every thursday on the alex simon short and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

you need to lead the audience you need to let people decide what is the relevance of them you don't need to filter he self censoring so john author self censored himself he believed he knew better he believed he do with what the needs were of these folks and that self-censorship which is such a step and this is completely wrong and this is why we have been sleepwalking into the next financial crisis how john author has been a gonzo journalist and he's been a property a new a journalist has had he not self-centered himself as this next crisis unfolds people would be better prepared to deal with it but they won't be because of the failure of fake journals like the last.

time the sun today thanks for watching out international with me kevin owen so i'm going to take you to this is one of the recruitment commercials give us an insight into the discipline the loyalty and crucially the fitness required to make it into the u.s. army. but seems a recent survey has found the standards is slipping in the old recruitment pool these days around one third of american news wouldn't be accepted into the military because of obesity and healthy lifestyles the army is now warning anyone who wants to enlist them to get fit so the u.s. army's pushing some fundamental changes as you may expect what are they well marines already seen a revamp of meal times with healthier food being served up seems over the next two

years the army's pledge to refine his fitness standards and make test tougher to in order to get recruits physically fit beforehand it's also promoting fitness education in schools and even starting programs to provide poor families with healthy food good idea that what the u.s. defense is ivan allen give us some more suggestions about what else might help. in the united states of course the military is just a very small portion of the population and the president the government can't tell people what to eat so the army can sponsor health programs or whatever with it but i'm not sure that that's really going to help that my child i think you probably need to work on the society itself as far as you know getting more exercise eating healthier foods etc and it's very difficult because there is so much fun stuff to eat that's not very good for you here in the united states. here they failed launch of of soyuz spacecraft as experts busy trying to find out what

exactly went wrong with a booster rocket meant to carry it into war but that dramatic escape of the two astronauts on board said space industry experts singing the praises of the technology that helped them and propel them to safety. each and every soyuz spacecraft is equipped with an emergency escape system that is designed to enable the crew safe escape in case of an emergency on board during blast off and the ascension phase the system has an evacuation capsule and powerful engines attached to it the engines are active fifteen minutes before launch if the flight gets out of control they propel the capsule away from the main body of the rocket that enables the crew to reach a safe distance in about four seconds parachutes then open to slow the capsules descent and ensure a safe landing this is the only system of its kind to this so deeply integrated in both the spacecraft and the launch vehicle the emergency system has been deployed eight times over the history of soyuz launches three of them were manned missions

and the crew survived every time. i get most difficult of course i want to thank the rescue was from those who designed this cape system thanks to them came back to earth i don't think it was a miracle i think it's professionalism i think it's optional technology test crew and over many many years. and also the actual humans just the emergency crews as you heard. to get there in time and i'm sure what was happening in the council was very professional the soyuz is. you know the grand old man it's been around forever it has proven itself repeatedly. and i think it's probably one of if not the safest human spacecraft in the world. the head of the european space agency told us it sassenachs will continue to use all his rockets adding that the agency is ready to help with the ongoing investigation to. you know change of

plans so we're looking forward to not only using so use for the next astronauts but also for some of our economics so we do not see that it seems unplanned the most important thing is now to find out who course and i hope that this can be done correctly and then we go just on spent. two was cross marks that is ready to participate in the. investigation because of course we're interested in getting our information next time. we want to have another european astronaut or committed our next year. climate change on the agenda again was never going away as it but now this is sobering the u.n. is warning we have a may have twelve years to get a grip on the threat of climate change before possible catastrophe becomes irreversible artie's poly boy in the online project in case you missed it takes

a look. was over the top of the safety. also almost ok. so the really great savior at the u.n. saying that they'll be a catastrophe and something isn't done to keep global warming to below one point five degrees this is unprecedented changes are needed now we're facing droughts floods extreme heat poverty by hundreds of millions god is. just scaring people constantly using evidence and under a lifetime of expertise based on exhaustive in their brains that it's got the decades of being the destruction of our planet caused by man's behavior when they believe again. you sound of it. will be ours all wrong using the vote of as a mascot that was a good try but i've seen one in real life maybe like three times when i missed the moon i would miss. no one would. when we land warnings of

a one point five degree rise it is hard to take seriously people in cold countries are thinking great other keys and want to limit clients think it's roasting anyway what's the difference and then the other thing is well the scientists really worried the politicians don't know and i know who i trust. the experts have told world leaders that they have a new patient. again what kind of strategy is that appealing to the moral sense of politician if you want people to actually give you everything and everyone we know you love and hold dear and will suffocate or drown you need to get creative how one is that environmental only get to occur to him that i was in deliveries and the ability to charge i don't want people that their great grandchildren will suffer when i. called actually it's great grandchildren will suffer but better yet

tell the world that he loves climate change maybe a lot of us old by the weekend and you know what scientists could you please just sort this out amongst yourselves. nor probably show when everyone should online r t don't call me tom this and. most of those coven always say thanks ever so much watching it's coming up to twenty three minutes past four moscow time good weekend.

you know world big part of the new law and conspiracy 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 path and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. the wings of the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. crossing.

the road a simple they want to. put as many of them look for refuge in the so-called same tree sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities. as band. listen to more no. less and they want that. they can watch as they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house. he has to be back to the old i said sit. the put him put impulse response both of you out there to deal with all of the.

time action or attention just ahead of the deadline for u.k. backed rebel groups to withdraw from a dip in syria we go underground with martha gellhorn prize for journalism finalist but this ability to ask her what she saw firsthand when she interviewed a u.k. funded helmet leader allegedly linked to terrorists than does the u.k. fire brigades union turns one hundred we speak with the general secretary about the tory cuts putting his members at risk plus how come climate change on the get was three years away last year you know it's the first british politicians returned to parliament to question to resume his defacto governing coalition is now in doubt after threats to vote down this month's u.k. budget for favorite to be next prime minister jeremy corbyn budget of sterett he was on his mind eight years of painful austerity poverty is up homelessness and deaths on our street is up living standards down public services slashed and

a million elderly are not getting the can they need wages have been eroded and. all the while billions were found for tax giveaways to big corporations and. tourism ignored the bank bailouts and said labor's spending was the problem we know what would really hurt working people neighbors plans would cost one trillion how one thousand billion pounds of people's money uncontrolled by worrying spiralling taxes working people paying the price of labor yet again taking us but to square one ignoring where the country is bombed by britain into square one that the cost of thousands of millions to resume also celebrated the british military at this week's pm cues given that was world mental health day ensuring that we recognise those physical and mental injuries is important and we should never forget those.

would lay down their lives for our freedom and for our security but oh a british bombs targeted by british soldiers on syria right now every day really for our freedom and security and a better journalist but as a billy has been on the ground in syria where the u.k. ministry of defense told this program the u.k. is bombing every single day according to latest figures joins me via skype from bordeaux in france for his thanks for going back on before we get to your latest revelations from your reporting in syria your reaction to the resignation of the us about so the u.n. nikki haley of the sea back war in our southern is called a moderate in the new york times for instance well a moderate neo con for sure i mean they clamor of approval of prime various israeli entities following shark resignation. i guess all of us thought that after samantha power it couldn't get any worse and then nikki haley arrived and basically justified they israeli aggression against the palestinian

protesters. try to justify falsely they are rainy and involvement in the yemeni war that justified of course the u.s. supply of cluster bombs and other munitions to the saudi coalition to effectively korea a genocide against the yemeni people. and of course has supported. they u.s. coalition campaigning for regime change inside syria that it's resulted in an eight year war and the collective punishment of the majority of the syrian people who support their state and their army in their defense of their homeland against the coalition terrorist forces that haiti has provided cover for if you just say obviously british cluster bombs used against children in yemen have been demonstrated to be prior exports in case the british government is watching that you've just come back from syria it's got to the new. here in britain for

a while suddenly we're getting reports you don't say but they did b.b.c. from the source to camera footage inside lip of life basically being threatened by assad of syria head of the d.m.z. the demilitarized zone in the edge of what's your take on the well yeah i mean i follow it jeremy barron's report who actually followed my footsteps into the christian for that just that border. and the terrorist organizations that are in camps in that i mean what i find quite extraordinary is that in boeing's written report of course the blame is laid squarely at the fate of the syrian government in the syrian state whilst ignoring the fact that all areas that have been previously liberated by the syrian forces and its allies now are witness to the peace and stability that syria had prior to two thousand and eleven prior to this manufactured our pricing. refugees are returning home in their droves from lebanon

from neighboring countries jordan is discussing the opening of trade borders in the south so we're seeing a revival of syria in those liberated areas but also additionally to that of course the terrorist groups that were basically about to eat it from the liberated areas have all ended up in adelaide but somehow this fact is.
