and philadelphia only about two paychecks away from home. u.s. president donald trump is to punish saudi arabia over its alleged involvement in the disappearance of a dissident journalist but with business brains on in washington trump sets his stall on protecting the billions of dollars at stake when it comes to real. as to whether or not we should stop one hundred billion dollars from being spent in this country knowing. four of five alternatives two very good alternatives that would not be acceptable to. a historic result could be about to shake the german state of bavaria as residents prepare to take to the polls on sunday with the alternative for germany party on the verge of breaking new ground in the country. and

a recent study finds a third of young americans are too unfit to serve in the army as a battle against obesity compounds in the ranks of the u.s. military to promote a healthier lifestyle. watching r.t. international live from our moscow studio with mean a day or two to a very warm welcome to the program. the u.s. is attracting carefully of the reports that riyadh is behind the disappearance of a dissident journalist in turkey president donald trump has promised to punish saudi officials if their involvement is proven but stressed his desire to protect america's multi-billion dollar business with the gulf kingdom. terrible disgusting 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 big spent in this country knowing they have four of five alternatives two very good alternatives that would not be acceptable to jamal because shoghi was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul on october second no one's heard from him since turkey has not officially accused riyadh of being involved but the multiple reports claim its intelligence services have evidence that not only was because she'll be kidnapped but also killed saadi arabiya are vehemently denying any involvement despite mounting pressure some reports have emerged that the u.s. reportedly knew of an alleged saudi plan to capture news outlets citing intelligence intercepts of claiming the saudi crown prince ordered an operation to law and detain him some u.s. senators a calling to investigate his disappearance and a warning of consequences for riyadh if the reports are true but donald trump is

adamant he won't break the strong economic relations between washington and saudi arabia caliban 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 don't think it is they're going to take that money and spend it at 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 in 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 that they could give the green light time 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 and human rights record of saudi arabia has remained the same for decades but that's never stopped u.s. presidents from swooning over the saudi royal family. has a way of launching into truth 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. he always used to say keep the you will if we kept you and you probably wouldn't have isis because that's where they made the money in the first place so we should keep the euro but ok so i've recently acknowledged that south korea is not completely sovereign in its actions like when south korea mulled over the possibility of easing relations with the north well they won't do it without or approve. they do nothing without a roof 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 caleb mop and artsy new york we spent. a political science professor in turkey who thinks the economic relations between washington and riyadh won't change. does.

he you know his attitude is as business when i think it affects a little bit the relationship between the united states and so do i don't go on a growth but it doesn't affect where well because the problem is that no. one wants to do something against russia and iran and turkey in the middle east and they need. to be on gulf countries and you need some money and despite i think you you know doesn't change anything just a little bit you know some. of it off that i want but the order to petition or to because you know i'm ready coons are now those there's at the. moment mr the man is you know. he tries to do something that would be about this petition old this in which will be this if it's a. straight talking american rock icon your last has been showing his love for donald

chunking talks in the oval office but west controversial comments and a so-called lack of respect haven't sat well with many across america. he's been a friend of mine for a long time it was so dark put his house in maybe you're like superman maybe superman or the superhero this guy we're going to discuss her. i love this guy right here yes. oh ok i'm doing this for everybody who's watching us or turn their volume down you can put back up against that one if you think you're going to come here was what happens when you grow don't read. and we have this now it's kanye west is hardly a political philosopher and i've always believed an entertainer should first entertain and 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're saying he. was. but his in germany's biggest state the next government on sunday the right wing alternative party is expected to enter the various paul event for the first time according to polls and he tells us how the political landscape is shaping up. time

is ticking away in the key german states of various states election campaigns come to a close even the polls say it's time for a change system partita and a miracle c.d.u. c.s.u. looks set to lose the dominance it held in the various since the second world war even taste and tradition is apparently losing its appeal. now the c.s. use launched major rallies in a desperate and final attempt to attract those votes a swing of angela merkel's compassionate micra stance is expected as the various took in the second highest number of asylum seekers house of sixteen regions in the country at the height of the migrant crisis twenty five thousand arrived at munich

station not everyone was happy about. it. now the alternative for germany party or the f.d.a. is on the verge of entering the very end parliament for the first time that even claiming that the ruling vivarium party is stealing the campaign thinking this is very well known among the journalists and also among the c.e.o.'s who is kind of copying our program but is losing massive losing the people. big part of their i like to write if this is the case then the company that fired those who are more conservative believing towards the air today however those put off by the rhetoric leading towards the left a tool to the greek there are expected to come seconds at the twenty percent of the votes. to see if you will be history whatever the outcome one thing's for

sure the vote in german. maced influential regional government press haven't paid him in national politics and medical college many people. are specialists so this is going to be the end of the coalition and. we heard this already several times in the past and what we see is that everybody in the government is picking on its chair and especially on the american two saw i am not so sure or the coalition fell apart. they will try to stay on power as long as possible. and the survey has revealed some europeans are starting to doubt the necessity of the e.u. nearly two thirds of the people that responded to a new poll say things wouldn't be any worse without the block the brussels based think tank behind the survey also found that forty nine percent consider the

european union irrelevant transparency is also an issue for citizens according to the research as well as frustration at leaders for not focusing on the issues people really care about that's not quite how the power brokers and proselyte see it though the ease foreign policy chief said recently that the world wouldn't survive without the twenty eight state union close your eyes and imagine for one moment the european union disappeared from the global scene right now let us say for a month or week even for a few days the world will see the collapse the world is not in a good cheape true result the european union it will be in a much worse situation. brussels based journalist luke if he thinks there's a noticeable divide between the ease leadership and its citizens. the last story of europeans with europe is coming to an end that people still feel europeans find but it's second rate is not very important and they don't realize that all directors

all their own legislation in their own country comes from brussels through the direct is produced by the european commission and approved by the european parliament so it is it is a strange situation into which europe is very important for european citizens but they don't perceive it you know and they they they prefer their national identity they keep their nationality the day now want borders back because they see that european borders don't function after four years of problems so that's the situation now and mrs morgan any can say whatever she she wants to say but she's not the hero for the europeans. america's most expensive fighter jets have been grounded after one of the aircraft crashed in south carolina apparently because of faulty fuel tubes the trillion dollar f. thirty five program which was almost two decades in the making has already been heavily criticized for its huge cost and range of flaws.

the f. thirty five a dream to fly it's wonderful. to. look elite. it's. slightly it's. the us services and international partners have temporarily suspended after thirty five flight operations it's still. the enterprise conducts a fleet wide inspection of fuel to within the engine it's known good fuel to roots

are already installed in those aircraft will be returned to flight status. they say you all want new eight but the u.s. military is looking to change that in the stories coming up after this short break . 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 authors censor themselves he believes he knew better he believes he do with what the needs were of these folks and that self-censorship which is such a step in this is completely wrong and this is why we have been sleepwalking into the next financial crisis how john author's been a gonzo journalist have you been

a proper new age journalist had he not so censored 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 journalists like i want. you cannot operate as united nations this is not just about you and world health organization and other international organizations like the international committee of the red cross you cannot work in a place like. pragmatic cooperation. which all. or most of the last few years. welcome back to the program army recruitment commercials give you an insight into the discipline loyalty and fitness required to make it in the u.s. .

but recent studies found that standards a slipping in the recruitment pool around one third of american news wouldn't be accepted into the military because of obesity and unhealthy lifestyles the army is now warning anyone who wants to enlist to get fit and the u.s. army is pushing some fundamental changes marines have already seen a revamped to meal times with healthier food. over the next two years the army has pledged to refine its fitness standards and make tests tougher and all to physically fit beforehand is promoting fitness education in schools and even starting programs to provide poor families with healthy food u.s. defense analyst and gave us some suggestions about what else might help the united states of course the military says the 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 but i'm not sure that that's really going to help that much i think you probably need to work on the society itself as far as you know getting more exercise eating healthier food 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. those days failed launch of a soyuz spacecraft as expense busy trying to find out what went wrong with the booster rocket meant to carry it to orbit the dramatic escape of the two astronauts on board has had space industry experts singing the praises of the technology that propelled 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 capture 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 that is 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 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 over many many years and also the actual humans just the the

emergency crews as you heard the only to get there in time and i'm sure what was happening in the council was was very professional the soyuz is. you know the ground or rather it's been around forever it has proven it so repeatedly. and i think it's probably wonder if not the safest human space crowd in the world a head of the european space agency says it's that's and it's will continue to use all these rockets adding that the agency is ready to help in all going investigation. it's you know a lot of change of plans so we're looking forwards to not only using so use for the next us amounts but also for some of our work or not so we do not see that there is a change in plan the most important thing is now to find out who course and i hope that this can be done quickly and then we go just on the current. hearts to us

course mindset you know is ready to participate in the investigation because of course we're interested in getting all the information the next time the you want to have another you have been asked about it the middle of next year. it seems like scientists have been warning of the threat of climate change for ages but is anyone really listening in case you missed it with ati's polyploid has a lot that you can eat ideas on how to draw more attention to the problem. was. also. the really great say we're 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 they're saying unprecedented changes are needed now we're facing drought floods extreme heat policy for hundreds of millions.

yes scaring people constantly using evidence and a lifetime of expertise based on exhaustive in there the results now that i didn't pay them something so destruction of our planet was my mom's me here on the only home with you again. you sound a bit preaching to me are the wrong you voted as a mascot that was a good try but i see one in real life maybe like three times when i missed the moon then i would miss really stand and no one wouldn't. when we have 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 a little more clients think it's a roasting anyway what's the difference and then the other thing is while the scientists are really worried politicians don't know and i know who i trust. the experts have told world leaders that they have

a noble obligation to. again what kind of strategy is that appealing to the moral sense of politicians ok if you want people to actually give you everything and everyone we know love and hold dear we'll burn suffocate or drown you need to get creative how that want to do that environmental i get it could end i was in deliveries and the ability to charge i don't want people that their great grandchildren will suffer when them that may be called actions great grandchildren will suffer but better yet tell the world that that piece of knowledge of climate change man alone is sold by the weekend and. the news for now i'll be back next hour but stay tuned as up next it's boom bust. i've.

accepted someone for who they are not what you want them to be this is the advice the therapist might give to a couple in a relationship crisis apply this wisdom to geopolitics and you'll see the trying to change the weakness of the other is the normal. can geo political activists. and learn to fully accept each other. and you'll do yo phone pal dot com help out a known type i am told paul enough. to know.

crisis unfolds people would be better prepared to deal with it but they won't be because of the failure of fake journals like i was a. very normal. this is phone boss broadcasting around the world i'm for children in washington d.c. welcome aboard we're glad you're with. coming out today as global stock market here is a momentary meltdown over the last few days today they recovered some and in the u.s. they closed up slightly we'll take a look at the global weekly market round up plus the other day we told you about the saudi journalist for the washington post that went missing after visiting the saudi consulate in turkey well there is more unsettling news and today we consider

the business and economic relationship with saudi arabia from an arms and oil perspective energy warner and defense expert michael maloof are standing by and we told you about amazon after years of browbeating by politicians like u.s. senator bernie sanders the company has raised the hourly pay for most workers the fifteen dollars per hour in the u.s. but it may surprise some that the deal isn't all it's cracked up to be we look at that and amazon pay and conditions around the planet with steve malzberg and hillary ford which and later the toughest week to examine two major exciting and innovative infrastructure projects on opposite ends of the earth they have one thing in common gambling all that directly ahead but first we had some headline let's go. to an airline news united kingdom competition and markets authority the c.m.a. is investigating potentially anti-competitive behavior between british airways and

three other air carriers american airlines fin air and spanish carrier iberia which fly six coordinated transatlantic routes and agreement between the carriers called the atlantic joint business agreement may restrict competition by sharing and coordinating pricing scheduling and other information amongst the four airlines the c.m.a. said quote this case is an early stage and no assumption should be made that the atlantic joint business agreement infringes upon competition law that said the regulators will look at the agreement in light of the. u.k. leaving the e.u. relevant to a post breck's it aviation agreement. and sticking with airline related news as earnings reports for the third quarter begin to roll in one has surprised a few folks the first air carrier to report in the us is atlanta georgia based delta airlines and the news is good even amidst the higher jet fuel prices which delta said added six hundred fifty five million dollars more than they were in the

preceding quarter and travel disruptions from hurricane florence last month they have turned it impressive profit of eight percent pushed up by increased ticket sales and higher prices delta is the second largest carrier in the states behind american and delta stock rose three point six percent on the news. and there's more information on a story we told you about earlier in the week related to the washington post opinion writer a saudi citizen but u.s. resident. who went into the saudi consulate in stumble turkey and never came out we told you that turkish officials told some reporters at least that he was actually murdered well now those same officials are telling reporters that they have hard evidence of the murder and it is dreadful i won't give energy to discussing the details but suffice it to say the manner in which he was alleged to have been

killed is awful we had a panel discussing the matter the other day and both experts said not much if anything would be done related to u.s. saudi relations but now some more some are more questioning more and here's what the president had to say about it. looking at her strongly we'll be having a report soon we're working with turkey we're working with saudi arabia what happened is a terrible thing assuming that happened i mean maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised but somehow i tend to doubt it and we take it very seriously. so what is the economic relationship between the united states and saudi arabia for more we're pleased to be joined by iraqi horner currencies and futures expert at simpler trading and michael maloof former pentagon official we know that the saudis main economic engine is petroleum based we talk about it with you and are thankful for that all the time but how big is it it's big and it's getting bigger and what's ironic is despite the vision twenty thirty plan they have getting away from an oil

dependent saudi arabia actually mean.
