we didn't get a good result it was somewhat painful for the. majority of. the rightwing and the greens to make this story again. saudi arabia responds to any country to impose sanctions on the kingdom as pressure mounts on riyadh to explain the disappearance of journalist jamal khashoggi. is facing the legal challenge of a nuclear tests conducted in his territory of. the. president granting them crimes against humanity so that's.

why. why. has increased its minimum wage but some workers say they'll actually be. cuts to other benefits. when it's just a monday morning here in moscow the news team here rounding up stories welcome to them. so both those in the german state have inflicted a heavy blow on chancellor merkel's key ally handing the christian social union its worst election result in decades and the party is set to lose its absolute majority in the region's parliament and that's while the greens almost doubled the vote share in the. end to the parliament for the first time following a hard fought campaign.

of course today is not an easy day for the c.s.u. we didn't get a good result it was somewhat painful. i . was very and headquarters as the results were rolling in. the results are showing

heavy losses the system parting the sea as seen especially compared with the last election to see a c.v. stop dominance head in the region of various of the second world war these to be unthinkable levey could get anything less than the majority on the same day this majority and surely this is a big blow to the merkel it's good news save for the s. day event of the regional parliament for the fans times one day a member i spoke say said that he was happy with their face progress today well it's a great success. and now after going to start european parliament and all the others parliaments in the country also the. dog. here is a celebration and big party this is the end of the old fashioned parties and there we are living in a front of a century and this is now the time for bluebonnet is what i have to so we are. the

party of tomorrow no this will save or. another problem the problem of the forming a coalition now the c.s.u. been vocal about not hiring when they asked a will of the greens who came second in the dairy and prime minister is also just said that they'll be no insults with day to day but it does look like the bases have been moving away from the centrist policies to the left and the right on this thought that they just have been pushing the party to have a series such as immigration some people say that the see it seemed to will seem unfair might be to blame for the polls as he calls the knowledge with nicola david in sixty days of the michael crisis i mean how schools negative press around chairmen and beyond saying should he stay or should he go now and also to the c s c you could put the government in the in the top position the only two possible government instability left the party member be on top of soli says this vote is a wakeup call for. most of it has not been anger in bavaria it's been anger at the government in berlin and even though angela merkel was not on the ballot tonight

she was on the ballot and the vote was the of god and the arrow markel there's another state election in two weeks so i don't think there would be resignations before then but of course it shows that the majority of the population wants a change in government and this is the same all over germany we have people standing up with. stand up standing up all over germany and i think we will see change maybe this year maybe the beginning of next year but germany is changing. saudi arabia has promised a harsh response should a new country impose sanctions on the kingdom over the case of missing journalist jamal khashoggi various western countries have been putting pressure on riyadh to shed a light on his mysterious disappearance. was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul on october the second he has not been seen since c.z.

could. donal takes a closer look at what's at stake now for the gulf kingdom. as he ascended to power and seeing there was something magnetic in the appeal of mohamed bin still mond the young and promising heir to the saudi throne like when he was opening the kingdom's economy to foreign investment or when he flaunted his picture perfect smile for a long time the world repaid him with the same plays up to the stage ladies and gentlemen his royal highness prince not to insult. was great while it lasted at the start of the month a man walked into the saudi consulate in istanbul and didn't walk out at least

according to everyone but saudi arabia. and everything achieved by the relentless work of the saudi p.r. machine up till now began to spin backwards investors who used to be on their toes about plans for modernization pulling back the billions uber c.e.o. and the world bank president have confirmed they will be a no show at the once highly anticipated business conference in saudi arabia.

accusations of a state sponsored assassination have brought back talk of saudi arabia's dark side riyadh is showing its teeth in turn to assuring of retaliation if words jump starts any action one of the more awkward positions in the scandal is taken by donald trump not only has the u.s. been historically close to saudi arabia the president didn't hold back on complements last year himself historically agreements with the kingdom that will interest almost four hundred billion dollars. in our two countries this landmark agreement includes the announcement of a one hundred ten billion dollars saudi funded defense purchase. watching trump trying to find his way out of this tricky situation is

a show of its own i believe it's the largest order ever made it's four hundred fifty thousand jobs it's the best equipment in the world but if they don't buy it from us they're going to buy it from russia or they're going to buy it from china or they're going to buy it from other countries and i think that would be very foolish for a country but there are other things we can do that will be very severe international community. you know my taking this stance from the saudi regime and the economic front i think that. their current air force in congress will fall short and the saudis will be slapped under the wrist without any significant or meaningful sanctions saudis. go in and punished we do various acts of foreign adventurism and this is simply the latest hippies a lot. and if the world community. responded firmly in the past

probably they would not engage in this day and i don't take threats saudi retaliation too seriously. france is facing a lawsuit over three decades of nuclear tests conducted in the countries overseas territory of polynesia and the islands former president says the tests cost irreversible damage to locals branding them crimes against humanity however paris denies there was any harmful impact on the archipelagos environment. the. the

my friends they keep. preaching and it ceased so they started to the scratch the skin come in all fair and. they were sent to france by plane by the army then sent back that they had enough profit. from nine hundred sixty seats i'll fail to the problem and was floored by the french really theory they have decided to remove all the scales except these things no one can tell us right now. exactly how many people. passed away as close one says self defense the best in.

the world of shit it shattered our whole life our system our society and you can't transport money but then they brought. me to something i had five friends and none of these five four died of different kinds of cancer tween the age of fifty and fifty five. we have fired the laws of the international criminal court for crimes against humanity. these last few games to bring forward on leave in french president since the start of nuclear test countries. they've decided to go really far away from. twenty thousand kilometers in the

south pacific and do it in the. lead say in health care or the ice. from the pacific ocean. why. why. the chinese ambassador to the us has said that beijing had no choice but to defend itself from a trade war didn't want one started by washington this is important to notice who started this trade or we never want to have a trade war but if somebody is tired of the trade the war against us we have to respond and defend our own interests the remarks come amid heightened tensions over months of billions worth of tit for tat tariffs between the world's two largest economies one of the reasons for the trade war was trumped anger with china's trade surplus with the u.s. but despite all the punitive measures america's trade deficit with beijing has in fact reached a new record as daniel bushell picks up the story the supremum of it's of war is to

subdue the enemy without fighting sons to six inch ribisi applied by his homeland today to a different war trade wars protracted trade war belaboring of china as the enemy trade war continues game on here a trade war between the united states and china is here it's real china is accusing the white house of launching the largest trade war in history from slaps vicious restrictions on beijing get it sales just grow so the biggest trade surplus with washington ever in other words beijing has never sold so much stuff to the states while buying so relatively little in return america whitehall's on china in january next month beijing only sells the more same off the fresh us fees in july august and september now panic after this month's record sales by beijing to america is trump's plan working or is he just talking the talk china's market distortions. and

the way they deal. cannot be tolerated. has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight. election i've done a lot of business which. china china china sea route china talking about china from beijing also hold a nuclear option up the sleeve it owns over a trillion dollars of u.s. debts because that cash in something washington has a problem there are talks for the g. trump summit next month where u.s. way out the chinese finger trap can be hammered out to than who'd a thunk it trump would make china great again so what this means is that of course china is basically one of the trade war in this in the first round and it shows that of course the american consumers are the ones that are going to be are paying the highest prices for this and it's not harmed china

certainly the u.s. has no position of strength going into these talks but china has done is continue to emphasize its exports to the u.s. american importers are rushing in very very fast the last two quarters to get as much product and as possible before the tariffs here. and china is pursuing other trade relationships to continue to cause her economy to grow so this is what this shows is that the u.s. has completely failed and is quickly becoming a busy monday for worldwide headlines still to come here on the program retail giant amazon faces a backlash over its increased minimum wage workers now claiming other benefits have taken huge cuts more on that after the break.

the increase in the hourly wage will compensate the losses from previous benefits and we spoke to one of the most once employers about the new page scheme there is a condition that comes with the fifteen dollars an hour which is they took away our stock and they took away our bonuses that we receive every month i think that by them taken away the stock in the bonuses was not a good trade off but we all signed the contract i signed it and amazon signed it they have to come up with a new contract for us to sign that's exactly what the states right here in this states that they gave to shares of stock and that we receive stock every year that we are there so i have six shares that i will never be able to cash in because they've taken it away from me and because i've been on medical leave it will it won't vest for twenty twenty or just twenty twenty five

palestine. to gaza strip by the israeli gyptian blockade from the outside and the bloody rivalry of the palestinian factions on the inside but none of the u.s. relief agencies there are left without u.s. funding the gazans have anywhere left to turn to in their plight how can the looming humanitarian catastrophe be avoided without u.n. help or will anger builds along with despair venting itself into a new war. dr massey s. rally gaza director of united nations relief and works agency for palestine welcome to the show it's great to have you with us lots to talk about the. united states has cut funding to your agency earlier this year now you have to fire people who work for you in gaza because there is no money to pay their salaries is other nations funding not alf to keep the organization running smoothly. we've had tremendous success this year to find some money to replace what we've lost from the

united states for example for arab countries kuwait the united arab emirates cantarell and saudi arabia have given us fifty million each so there is a success story to be told in terms of finding money to replace us money but it's not enough and that is why as you indicated we unfortunately had to release some employees but from what we hear is the u n r w e employees in gaza are picketing your office there are even people standing with signs that say mathy is out why hasn't the agency done more to keep its rank and file employed well you know for me the answer to this is we have here in gaza thirteen thousand employees thousands of which work on what we call the emergency appeal we have several pots of money one of which is the emergency appeal for the emergency.
