u.s. president trying to punish saudi arabia abridge the alleged involvement in the disappearance of a dissident journalist but with business brains on in washington common sense is stalled on protecting the billions of dollars at stake when it comes to real. as to whether or not we should stop one hundred ten billion dollars from big spend in this country knowing they have four or five alternatives two very good alternatives. would not be acceptable. historic result could be the german state of the various presidents prepared to take to the polls on sunday with the alternative that germany policy on the verge of breaking new ground in the country. and

a recent study finds a third of young americans are unfit to serve in the army as a. comment is in the ranks of the u.s. military to promote a healthy lifestyle. watching r t international live from our moscow studio with me and it is a very warm welcome to the program. the u.s. is attracting a 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 business with the gulf can parable and discuss thing 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 or. i don't like

it even a little bit but as to whether or not we should stop one hundred 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 he was last seen and she at least saudi consulate in istanbul on october the second no one's heard from him since turkey has not officially accused riyadh 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 despite mounting pressure several reports have emerged that the u.s. reportedly knew of an alleged plan to capture because shockey news outlets citing intelligence intercepts are claiming the saudi crown prince ordered an operation to law 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 saudi arabia. 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 an investment of one hundred ten billion dollars into the united states. because you don't think it is 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 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. he always used to say keep the oil 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 oil but ok trump 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. they do nothing without proof 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. artsy new york and spent his time on a political science professor in turkey who thinks the economic relations between washington and riyadh won't change. the attitude of trump is told to love you or he

you know his attitude is as business when i think it affects a little bit the relationship between the united states and around the golf club doesn't affect where well because the problem is that now americans wants to do something against russia and iran and turkey in the middle east and they need. to be on a gulf countries and do you need some money i think it you know doesn't change anything just a little bit you know some serious. after that after a while but the order of the petition 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 sergio to be about this is the repetition old this in which will be destroyed totally if it's a sprawl one. straight talking american rapper kanye west has been showing his love

the donald china talks in the oval office but west controversial comments and so-called lack of respect haven't sat well with many across america. he's been a friend of mine for a long time who would go to the bar put your house in maybe you're like the super rich very rich american carriers oh this girl really describes her. power over this guy right here. if you are ok i'm doing this for everybody who's watching us or turn the volume down you can put back up against that but if you think you're going to share tell us where we're going to grow don't read. it 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. reveals some europeans are starting to doubt the necessity of the only two thirds of the people that responded to a new poll say things wouldn't be any worse without the blog 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 in brussels see it though these 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 disappears 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 the good shape truth

much was old european union it will be in a much worse situation. brussels based journalist luke they think there's a noticeable divide between needs leadership and it citizens the last story of europeans with europe is coming to an end the people still feel europeans fine but it's second reads 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 day to day 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 he 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 it's already been heavily criticized for its huge cost and range of flaws. just so the f. thirty five spend a dream to fly it's wonderful. to. look at least. slightly it's.

still. the u.s. services and international partners have temporarily suspended after thirty five flight operations let's. say. 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 are what you eat but the u.s. military is looking to change that that's amongst stories coming up after this break.

quickly. 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 saul censor 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 in this is completely wrong and this is why we have been sleepwalking into the next financial crisis how john authors spend a lot gonzo journalist i've been a property in new age journalism how do you how do you not self censor 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 johnson. 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 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 the means have already seen

a revamped to meal times with healthier food being served up over the next two years the army has played 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 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 but i'm not sure that that's really going to help the child i think you probably need to work on the society itself as far as you know getting more exercise eating healthier food etc 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 launch of

a soyuz spacecraft as experts 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 to ski in case of an emergency on board during blast off and the ascension phase of 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 prefer. well the capsule away from the main body of the rocket 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 moon cheese three of them were manned

missions and the crew survived every time. i get most difficult course i want to thank the rescue was some 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 it would be 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 one of if not the safest human spacecraft in the world they had of the european space agency if astronauts will continue to you soyuz rocket citing

that the agency is ready to help in ongoing investigation. there is no change of plans so we are looking forwards to not only using so use for the next astronaut's but also for some other work or not so we do not see that there is a change in plan for the most important thing is now to find out who caused it and i hope that this can be done quickly and then we go just on the current. hearts to us course months that ego is ready to participate in the. investigation because of course we are interested in getting all the information next time. you want to have another you have been asked about it the middle 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 polyploidy co-host and all that you d.

kite is on how to draw more attention to the problem. whatever the. case they were at the u.n. saying that they'll be a caster for something isn't done to keep global warming to below one point five degrees this saying unprecedented changes are needed now we're facing drought floods extreme heat poverty for hundreds of millions. yes scaring people constantly using evidence and a lifetime of expertise based on exhaustive in their the results now that i don't pay them something so destruction of our planet was my mom's me here on the only hope you'll ever get the. sound of it reaching we are in the wrong you think about him as a mascot that was a good try but i see one in real life maybe like three times when i miss the moon then i would miss really tendons 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 global the keys and want to limit climates think it's a roasting anyway what's the difference when there's the other thing is well the scientists seem really worried the politicians don't know and i know who i trust. the experts have told world leaders that they have a new rule and. again what kind of strategy is that appealing to the moral sense of politicians 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 problem 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 the god actually has great grandchildren will some

better yet tell the world that peachy are loves climate change maybe a little of us old by the weekend. all the news and i'll be back at the top of the next hour but next we're going underground here on off the international. join me every thursday on the daleks so i will be sure and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm sure i'll see you the. t.v. . this is critical. to the need to actually physically can't get out of the ground you know well well well well well well well well well.

with a lot of money with fuel oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make a hundred thousand dollars a year. as a minimum there is an issue. here in india. they were close to ten dollars a day hard work for the workers not used work and so they want to relieve their stress of how do they relieve their stress these and then move that outlet these men that comfort these many sacks. people have been murdered up here people been raped there are massive drug issues up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would

prefer it be in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying those just move to the present and that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite you know we've been through this this isn't the way. banks guys are financial survival you know they say money to the relatives close to jesus this is a central plank support dying a polygamist kind of call them right now say stop the bad.
