billion dollars into the united states. because you don't think it to do 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 can 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 the 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 you always used to say keep the oil if we kept to you and you probably wouldn't have isis because that's where they made their money in the french 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 well they won't do it without her approval. 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 r.t. new york we spent time on a political science professor and things the economic relations between washington and riyadh one change. if you don't trump is taught to love you or he you know his art to this as a 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 pop it doesn't affect where well because the problem is that now americans want to do something against russia and iran and turkey in the middle east and they need. their p.r. and gulf countries and do need some money despite i think it you know doesn't

change anything just a little bit you know some serious. after that after a while but the repetition of saudi arabia because they you know americans are now those there said that the. moment mr amman is you know. he tries to do something with you about this repetition old this in which will be destroyed totally if it's a. strain till king an american rapper kanye west has been showing his love for donald trump during talks in the oval office but west controversial comments and so-called black of respect happens with many across america. and he's been a friend of mine for a long time it was something that i was how you made your life for me made a superman out of the heart. of this guy right here let me get this guy.

i love this guy right here. ok i'm doing this for everybody who's watching us who turn their volume down you can put back up against that but if you think that tell us is what happens when they grow don't read. and we have this now it's kind of a west is hardly a political philosopher and i've always believed entertainer. should first entertain and keep their politics separate from their art. before the white house did you also did smoke it up a little bit in the bathroom when you were trying to get.

voters in germany biggest state elect the next government on sunday the right wing alternative to jimmy party is expected to enter the various polling for the first time according to polls and he says something 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 him to change the system party to end the medical c.d.u. c.s.u. looks set to lose the dominance it held in bavaria for the second world war even taste and tradition is apparently losing its appeal.

copying our program but is losing massive losing the people of god the big part of the day i like to write if this is the case then the coming out fire those who are more conservative believing towards the air today however those put off by the rhetoric leading towards the left towards the green they're expected to come second to the twenty percent of the votes. actually c.s.u. will be too strong whatever the outcome one thing's for sure the votes in germany. most influential regional government prints have been paid 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. and they will try to stay on power as long as possible. and the survey has real some europeans are starting to doubt the necessity of the e.u. only two thirds of the people that responded to a new poll say things wouldn't be any worse without the block the brussels that 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 in brussels see it though the e.u.'s 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 much result the european union it will be in a much worse situation brussels based journalist lucre very things there's a noticeable divide between the leadership and its citizens. the last story of europeans with europe it's coming to an end that people still feel europeans find but it's second rates 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 a strange situation into which europe is very important for european citizens but they don't perceive it you know and they date they prefer their national identity they keep their nationality day to day now want the 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 spent a dream to fly it's wonderful. 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 if known good fuel tubes are already installed in those aircraft will be returned to flight status. they say you wall what you eat but the u.s. military is looking to change that but some of the stories coming up after this 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 author saw him self he believed he knew better he believed he do with what the names 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 authors ben a gonzo journalist i've been a property in new ways journalist how do you how do you not self censor themselves 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 author. except someone for who they are not what you want them to be this is the advice a therapist might give to a couple in a relationship crisis hit apply this wisdom to geopolitics and you'll see that

trying to change the weakness of the other is the norm and geopolitical actors ideology aside and learn to fully accept each other. welcome back to the program recruitment commercials give you an insight into the discipline loyalty and fitness required to make it in the u.s. army. but a recent study has found that standards are 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 a healthier food being served up over the next two years the army has pledged to refine its fitness standards and make tests tougher in order to get recruits physically fit before hand it's promoting fitness education in schools and even starting programs to provide poor families with healthy food u.s. defense analyst event eland gave us some suggestions about what else might help. in 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 it 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 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. failed the launch of a soyuz spacecraft that was busy trying to find out what went wrong with the booster rocket to carry it to orbit the democratic 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 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 launch is three of them were manned missions and the crew survived every time. my goodness deep of course i want to thank the rescue was some those who designed the scape system thanks to them came back to earth so i don't think it was a miracle i think it's professionalism i think it's our functional technology that has been tested and proven over many many years and also the actual humans just looks the the emergency crews as you heard it would be to get there in time and i'm sure what was happening in the council was very professional the soyuz is. you know the ground zero it's been around forever it has proven it so repeatedly. and i think it's probably one of if not the safest human spacecraft in the world

a head of the european space agency says its astronauts will continue to you so it's rocket citing that the agency is ready to help in the ongoing investigation. there is no change of plans so we're looking forward to not only using so use for the next astronauts but also for some of our satellites and 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 precisely and then we go just on spent. two was crossed months that he is ready to participate in the. misty gaze and because of course we're interested in getting all the information next time. you want to have another you have been asked some other committee of next year. now 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 artie's polyploid who has

a lot unique ideas on how to fold more attention to the problem. all of the toll. also total overall state. of. 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 gut resounds got to do the decades and something so destruction of our planet caused by man's behavior will need only again to rethink you sound of it. will be ours all wrong using the vote of our as a mascot that was a good try but i've seen one in real life maybe like three times what i miss the

moon when i would miss near east london no one would. when we have warnings of a one point five degree rise it is hard to take seriously people in cold countries are thinking great well bob the key is i want a little more clients think it's a roasting anyway what's the difference and then the other thing is well the scientists are really worried the politicians don't know and i know who i trust. the experts have told world leaders that they have a noble legation to. again what kind of strategy is that appealing to the moral sense of politician if you want people to actually give everything and everyone we know love and hold their will suffocate or drown you need to get creative how that want to do that environmental only get to occur to him that i was in deliveries and the ability to charge i don't want people that in their great grandchildren will

suffer when be called actions great grandchildren will suffer but better yet tell the world that that piece of climate change is mine alone it's old by the weekend and. that's all the news for now i'll be back next hour but stay tuned is up next we're going underground with afshin rattansi. you cannot operate as united nations this is not just one robot you are in d.p. world health organization and in fact other international organizations like the
