u.s. president donald trump vows to punish saudi arabia over its alleged involvement in the disappearance of a dissident journalist but with business brains on in washington trump says it's all on protecting the billions of dollars at stake when it comes to agree. as to whether or not we should stop one hundred ten billion dollars from being spent in this country knowing that they have four or five alternatives two very good alternatives that would not be acceptable to the. historic results could be a bound to shake 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 is a powerful against obesity commences in the ranks of the u.s. military to promote a healthier lifestyle. a very warm welcome you watching antti international with me becky aaron great to have you with us now our top story the u.s. is trading carefully over reports that riyadh is behind the disappearance of a dissident saudi journalist in turkey president donald trump as promised to punish saudi officials if their involvement is proven but stress 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 we don't like it even a little bit but as to whether. we should stop one hundred ten billion dollars from

being spent in this country knowing they have four of five alternatives two very good alternatives that would not be acceptable to big or jamal khashoggi was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul on october the second and 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 he kidnapped but also tortured and killed saudi arabia is still strongly denying any involvement despite the mounting pressure on its several reports emerged that the u.s. reportedly knew of an alleged saudi plan to cop to the news outlets scientific intelligence intercepts are claiming the saudi crown prince old did an operation to lure and detain him or some u.s. senators are calling to investigate his disappearance and a warning of consequences full riyadh if the reports are true but donald trump is

adamant he won't break the strong economic relations between washington and saudi arabia can have more pain. 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 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 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 us presidents from swooning over the saudi royal family. trump 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 keep the oil you probably wouldn't have isis because that's where they made the money in the french place so we should keep the oil but ok trump recently acknowledged 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. we spoke to a political science professor in turkey who thinks the economic relations between washington and lee aren't won't change the attitude of trump is

a total of europe you know he's up to this as business when i think it affects a little bit the relationship between the united states and so do i don't go on the golf club it doesn't worry 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 the gulf countries and you need some money and despite i think it doesn't change anything just a little bit you know some serious warts on bali after that after a while but the report of the petition of saudi arabia because you know americans are now those there said that the. moment mr manners you know. he tries to do something with assad you know to be about this repetition or this in which will be destroyed totally if it's a sprawling. american rapper kanye west has been showing his love for donald trump

during talks in the oval office but west's controversial comments at a so-called lack of respect haven't sat well with many across america. gays been a friend of my problem for there were some of the output of how to make your life. the very words of this guy originally disguised. i love this guy right here. ok i'm doing this for everybody who's watching us or turn the volume down you can put up against that what you think you. tell us is what happens when you grow don't read. we have this now it's kind of a weatherman this picking on its chair and especially on no american saw are not so

sure or the coalition. fell apart. they will try to stay on power as long as possible. and it really survey suggests that most europeans have major doubts about how well the e.u. is working in its two fronts of the eleven thousand respondents said they weren't sure that life would be 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 is not quite how the power brokers in brussels see it though they use 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 a good cheape true much result european union it will be in a much worse situation. brussels based journalist lucrative a thinks that as a noticeable divide between the e.u.'s 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 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 the national identity they keep their nationality they 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. and iraq is the most expensive fighter jet have been grounded after one of the aircraft crashed in south carolina partly because of faulty feel to 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 fools. the f. thirty five spend a dream to fly it's wonderful. the

u.s. services and international partners have temporarily suspended after the five flight operations. the enterprise conducts a fleet wide inspection of a fuel to within the engine if known good fuel to us are already installed in those aircraft will be returned to flight status. not. that's a con they say you are what you eats but the u.s. military is looking to change that still to come off the boat. 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 was terrifying news just knew it hasn't and that we're even many a victim's 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 it's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. you need to let the audience you need to let people decide what is the relevance of them you don't need to filter the self censoring so john author self censorship 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 spend. gonzo journalist i've been a property knew a journalist so the idea that 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 big journals like the i want to. welcome back 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 studies found that standards are slipping in the recruitment pool around

one third of americans 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 sleep u.s. army is pushing some fundamental changes marines have already seen a revamped to a reason to meal times with healthier food being served up and over the next two years the army has pledged to raise his fitness standards and make tests even tougher in order to get recruits physically fit before hand is promoting fitness education in schools and it's even starting to provide pull families with healthier food u.s. defense on a list of 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 in the 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. those days failed launch of a soyuz spacecraft has scientists busy trying to find out what went wrong with the booster rocket meant to carry it into orbit the dramatic escape of the two astronauts on board has had space industry experts praising 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 crease 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 and 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 human system 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 craft in the world well the head of the european space agency says journals will continue to use oil as well kate said adding that 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 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 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 the ego is ready to participate in the investigation because of course we are interested in getting all the information next time be you

want to have another you have been asked about it the middle of next year. so 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 r.t. is polly boyko how some rather unique light is on how to draw more attention to the problem. or the. 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 this saying unprecedented changes are needed now we're facing drought floods extreme heat poverty for hundreds of millions. it's scaring people constantly using evidence and a lifetime of expertise based on exhausting been there the results gathered in

a decade and something so destruction of our planet was my mind's me here on the moon again. you sound a bit preachy so we are in the wrong using a very very 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 release engines 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 and then 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 moral obligation to again what kind of strategy is that appealing to the moral sense of politicians if you want people to actually give everything and everyone we

know love and hold there will 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 challenge i don't go in people that their great grandchildren mostafa will be called actions great grandchildren will some better yet tell the wild that that peach tree off she loves climate change maybe a little of us old by the weekend and. we're back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines say about. money you know more of the world. on the world. today. oh good. luck

i mean we did. all your ego to. move for your. good hope to do something to. put themselves on the line. big except for the reject . so when you want to be president as you. want to be. the two going to be close it's like the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested in the lives of my. friends should. this is cruel. to the need to actually physically pulled it out of the ground you

would have well well well well well well well well well well well well well. a lot of money with your bill and with that comes. a lot of this but also. that you often way of thinking a common way of having multiple relations this is a because of the history and even though the ballot thick states of the can of course concede that in the past there were other troubles they were independent between the two world wars and then they would include in the soviet union at the beginning of the second world war. but with other former soviet republic such as. georgia when maine crane crane and russia they have a common history they have come i would say cultural and relieved let's discuss does in details but let me press here once more do you think russia

current policies that he made it could really be described as containment i do can see that what i've been in the very recent months sure is that russia on one side the east turning to work each other in order to create a stronger easing bloc and you can see the west yet it. and dead would be a first step to stop a large amount of the western counters to work toward the russian federation secondly the new generation of weapons the seer the prez in the russian federation doing the speech the beginning of march he showed a new new weapons and that means a dem or nato is acting in order to establish a new meter a basis in sentence to euro.
