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 common sense is still on protecting the billions of dollars at stake when it comes to riyadh. as to whether or not we should stop one hundred billion dollars from being spent in this country knowing. five alternatives to very good alternatives that would not be acceptable. and historic result could be the german state of bavaria as residents prepared 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 commences in the ranks of the u.s. military to promote a healthy lifestyle. you're watching r t international live from our moscow studio with me in a day or two to a very warm welcome to the program. the u.s. is attracting carefully over reports that riyadh is behind the disappearance of a dissident saudi journalist in turkey president 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 and 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 being spent in this country knowing they have four or five alternatives two very good alternatives that would not be acceptable to break. jamal khashoggi was last seen. consulate in istanbul on october the second no one has heard from him since turkey has not officially accused of being involved but multiple reports claim its intelligence services have evidence that not only was kidnapped but also killed saudi arabia vehemently denying any involvement the spying to mounting pressure sever ports have been that the u.s. reportedly knew of an alleged plan to capture. news outlets citing intelligence intercepts of claiming the side the crown prince wanted and operation and detain him some u.s. senators according 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. caleb maupin has more details. 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 the investment of one hundred ten billion dollars into the united states. because you don't think it is going to take that money or 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 in your country saudi has been

a client of the united states close relationship for a long time. and saudi arabia figured that they were so comfortable in their relationship with donald trump that they could give the green light time seems to be admitting that u.s. power. lasy 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 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 first place so we should keep doing it but ok time for recently acknowledge that south korea is not completely sovereign in its actions like when 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 caleb mop and r.t. new york. expected jenkins tama a political science professor and things the economic relations between washington and viet won't change. the attitude of trump is told to love you or he you know

he's out to this as business when i think it affects a little bit the relationship between the united states and sold you out i'm gonna go flop 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 that do need some money and despite i think it you know doesn't change anything just a little bit you know some serious. after a while but the poor to petition of saudi arabia because they you know americans are now those there said at the. moment mr moniz you know. he tries to do something with you about this repetition old this in which will be destroyed totally if it's programmed. straight talking american rapper kanye

west has been showing his love for donald trump talks in the oval office but west's controversial comments and so-called black of respect. 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. you made the superman our favorite superhero this guy over 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 one if you think that 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.

entertain and keep their politics separate from their art. for the white house to. smoke it up a little bit in the bathroom. was . i. go to jimmy's biggest state when elect the next government on sunday the right wing alternative for germany party is

expected to parliament 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 party to angela merkel c.d.u. c.s.u. looks set to lose the dominance it's held in bavaria 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 there that angela merkel's compassionate micra stance is expected as the various took in the second time as number of asylum seekers house and sixteen regions in the country at the height of the migrant crisis twenty 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 third day 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 of god big part of their electoral rights if this is the case then the gambling that fired those who are more conservative a leading towards the air day however those put off by the rhetoric leading towards the left to towards the green they're expected to come second with twenty percent

of the votes. absolute majority of the seats you will be to strew whatever the outcome one thing's for sure the votes in german. if most influential regional government could have implications in national politics and medical coverage many people. are specialists so this is going to be the end of the coalition and. we heard this already several times. 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. that the coalition fell apart. and they will try to stay on power as long as possible. in the survey has revealed some europeans are starting to doubt the necessity of the e.u. really 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 us not quite how the power brokers in brussels see it though the issues 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 luca have a think there's a noticeable divide between the ease leadership and its citizens. the last story of europeans with europe it's coming to an end the people still feel europeans fine 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's a strange situation into which europe is very important for european citizens but they don't perceive it you know and they don't they prefer their national identity they keep their nationality to the 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 field tubes the trailing 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.

they have thirty five spent a dream to fly it's wonderful. the u.s. services and international partners have temporarily suspended the f. 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 all what you eat but the u.s. military is looking to change that not someone else the stories coming up just after this but.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. more some have wanted us. to do i believe for us that's what the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. first six. months. 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.

army. but a recent study has found that standards are slipping in the recruitment pool around one third of american youth 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 rebound to meal times with healthier food being served up over the next two years the army has plans to refine its fitness standards and make tests tougher in order to get recruits physically fit before hand 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

that 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 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. as busy trying to find out what went wrong with the rocket meant to carry it to orbit the. earth has had the space industry experts saying the praise technology that propelled the 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. my goodness deep of course i want to thank the rescue was and those who designed this cape 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 optional technology that has been tested and proven 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 ground zero 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 says it's astronauts will continue to you saw his rockets adding and the agency is ready to help in the ongoing investigation. there is no change of plans so we are looking forwards to not only using muscle use for the next astronauts but also has some of our economics 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 on hart who was cross

marks that is ready to participate in the. mr gates and because of course we're interested in getting all the information next time. we want to have another european astronaut or committal next year. seems like scientists have been warning of the threat of climate change for ages but is anyone really listening in case you missed it by the authors polly pica has some rather ideas on how to draw more attention to the problem. levels over the top of us to save the. cost of almost. the un 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 for hundreds of millions. is. just scaring people constantly using evidence and under a lifetime of expertise based on exhaustive in their good results gathered a decade since i've been the destruction of our planet was my mom's behavior i will need to leave you again. you sound of it. will be ours all wrong using a vote of ours a mascot that was a good try but i've seen one in real life maybe like three times when i miss the moon i would miss the sentence no i wouldn't. when we land warnings of a one point five degree rise it is hard to take seriously people in cold countries are thinking great global they keep everyone in little climates things roasting anyway what's the difference but then there's the other thing is well the scientists really worried politicians don't know and i know who i trust.

the experts have told world leaders that they have a noble and. 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 love and hold dear will burn suffocate or drown you need to get creative probably not want to do that environmental only get it could mean that i wasn't deliveries and the ability to charge my birds during people that their great grandchildren will suffer when they're. called our great grandchildren will suffer better yet tell the world that he loves climate change maybe a lot of us old by the weekend. news from al be back at the top of the next iowa state you can though as up next is time for a documentary in the execution of shutter.

just manufacture consent in terms of public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. when the final larry go around. the world. we can all middle of the room signals. the real news is. the world. cannot operate as united nations this is not just about un d.p. world health organization and other international organizations like the

international committee of the red cross you cannot work in a place like gaza with pragmatic cooperation with the locals or eighty's which are hamas in this case here on or has been for most of the last few years. and you'll. come out that. in film there is a trade in young girls sold into an underground sex in the street sometimes by the people they trust the most.

i don't know if it was government official of president of the f.c.c. the system i said i've got it's over i'm too liberal the system designed for people like me. it was. different people were here for different reasons also job we all saw. most people in philadelphia are only a ballot two paychecks away from homelessness. during

his years serving his region used chief executioner jerry would hear inmates swear they were innocent. when you hear a person going to his death be sticking out and he was innocent to the last serene's going to his body he's taken out that he was innocent on his last words his last breath. give me something that bank about as execution and it place some doubt there there was one young man in particular washington jr. he was five tell society back then that he was innocent to get no one really paid no attention. in one thousand nine hundred three earl was arrested in culpepper virginia and brought in for questioning he thought it was for a burglary he had committed to use i old question by different.

and we'll use it at our data. and they then know i want to call up mt call kept. the death penalty. after intense questioning police officers extracted a confession from her for the brutal rape and stabbing murder of a one thousand year old mother of three. at his trial experts testified that earle had an i.q. of only sixty nine and was extremely suggestible casting doubt on his confession. despite inconclusive evidence the jury found her guilty and the judge sentenced him to death. he was taken to mecklenburg a supermax prison in virginia. he was scared to death he was

tempted he didn't want to come out of so. he's mentally retarded he couldn't read you couldn't write i walked into the cell and if you needed anything bang old or come see what you want that was earl the whole time he was on the road he was. scared to have it. all as they were for me my mom and dad again see the problems with mr. moti was an aide to see the mom would have me. two weeks before earl's date of execution the guards came to transport him to the death house in richmond. a charity mob put him in a way saying handcuffs shackles and they walked him out. literally drug him out and me everybody's banging on the door here that the president of ards.

joe reached out to his caseworker marie deans to see if anything could be done. i called mary in a panic as i doubt. i will of this guy did or not but i don't think you did i'll bet this guy knows what's going on when early arrived at the death house he was handed over to jerry. i received earl from mecum bear and when he came in i gave him a good trade into the infirmary he was given to complete this. at that time we only had. death by electrocution chair so he didn't have a choice. you know how do you know how you had led to as a one to cheer home and have a date with all we got was the he said he was getting really from. i know i have dental. on that date and mother will allow want me to go on go again if you don't
