really. today's not an easy day to c.s.u. we didn't get a good result it was a. majority in a regional. response for any country. to explain the disappearance of journalist. who is facing a legal challenge of almost two hundred nuclear tests. president crimes against humanity. relief.

and. why. has increased its minimum wage but some workers say the. monday morning here in a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at the international let's get into your story. photos in the german state have inflicted a heavy blow. by the christian social union its worst election result in decades the party is set to lose its absolute majority in the parliament and that's while the greens almost doubled the vote. and the. parliament for the very

first time. i. was at the. headquarters. the results of showing heavy losses

to the medical system policy the c s c especially compared with last election the c.s.c. nice to have dominance head in the region of various of the second wells was used to be unthinkable that they could get anything less than the majority on sunday and they did also this majority and surely this is a big blow to the medical it's good news safe for the ass day events of the regional parliament for the fans times one a day member high stakes a set that he was happy with their face progress today well it's a great success arianne took the now off to going to start european parliament than all the others parliaments in the country also the biracial montauk and you see 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 this is now the time for blue parties what i have to so we are. the party of tomorrow now this will say bring in another problem the problem of at

forming a coalition now the c.s.u. been vocal about not pairing with the f.d.a. will the greens who came second in the dairy and prime ministers also just said that they'll be no tilts with a day but it does look like the voters have been moving away from the centrist policies to the left of the price and is still the voters have been pushing the party a base use such as immigration some people say that the c.s.e. to full civil folk might be to blame for the polls as the house been arguing with medical evidence a shaved face of the market crisis and how schools negative press around him and am beyond money saying should he stay or should he go now a loss to the c.s.a. could put the government in a volatile position the only two possible government instability left a party member be on top of a soldier who says this vote is a wakeup call for. most of it has not been anger invariants been angry at the government in berlin and even though angola market was not on the ballot tonight she was on the ballot and the vote will be

a vote and the era merkel there's another state election in two weeks so i don't think there will 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 movement and stand up standing up all over germany and i think we will see change maybe this year maybe in the beginning of next year but germany is changing. saudi arabia is warning other countries not to threaten it as international pressure mounts over the case of a missing journalist jamal khashoggi is. in a saudi consulate has led to the specter of sanctions sending the kingdom's stock market spiraling riyadh has vowed to hit back hard in case there is punitive action . down off examines the fallout of a mysterious disappearance. as he ascended to power it seemed there was something

magnetic in the appeal of mohamed bin still man 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 have been some. church which 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 goober 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 over state sponsored assassination have brought back talk of saudi arabia's dark side riyadh is showing its teeth in turn to assuring of retaliation of words jumpstart any action one of the more awkward positions in the scandal is taken by donald trump. not only has the us been historically close to saudi arabia

the president didn't hold back on complements last year himself we signed historic agreements with the kingdom that will invest 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 after an

initial muted response president trump has now about to inflict severe penalty if it's proved that the saudis perpetrated this crime and. voices in the u.s. congress one example that i'm not seeking is serious we have a reevaluation of us says policy to our saudi arabia and yet my hunch is that mr trump now feels that this saudis have been delivered their part of the bargain and while he is expressing. some cosmetic concerns about this incident israel intention might be to use this as a leverage to expect extract more financial concessions from the saudis who have also promised to invest heavily in the u.s. economy. france is facing a lawsuit over three decades of nuclear tests conducted in the country's overseas

territory of polynesia the island's former president says the tests caused irreversible damage to locals branding them crimes against humanity however paris denies the nearly two hundred atomic tests had any harmful impact on the archipelagos environment. the. the my friends they keep. preaching and. so they started to the scratch the skin come in all fair and. they were sent to

thralls by plane by the army then sent back the day in the coffin. from nineteen seats the 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 cause one says self defense the ship has seen. the river of shit it shattered our whole life our system our society and you can attend school money but then they brought disease. and if you say i had five

friends and out of these five four died of different kinds of cancer we need fifty and fifty five. we have. the laws of the international criminal court for crimes. against humanity these strong aims to bring forward. even french president since the start of a nuclear test country. the decided to go really far away from from twenty thousand kilometers in the south pacific and do it in the. lead say in paralyzed. from the pacific ocean. y y.

m a zone has been repeatedly criticized of a pole working conditions i was warehouses with some employees now claiming their physical health has been seriously impacted as a result. i'm living out of my car thank you thank you amazon it's a broken me it's it's i mean mentally and physically it's approaching me . i'm not the only one this is and this is an epidemic literally i didn't ask to be injured at amazon this was their fault this was their faulty equipment.

was my oldest and that i should have been healed already the only thing on my compensation for is the interest that i sustained to emphasize that we didn't recognize these allegations is an accurate portrayal of what you dam is it proud last safety record. going to give me one month's worth of pay for. to shut me up. the station that i injured myself on the previous year again october they were still broke eight months later they still had not been just.

for a warehouse job where people literally fall out and from. the heat. i think we should be paid more than fifteen dollars an hour. they. recently announced it was hiking its minimum wage up to fifteen dollars an hour a move that was welcomed by employees we are also establishing a new amazon minimum wage fifteen dollars an hour. however some have been less enthusiastic about the pay rise saying that other benefits have been cut to make it possible some workers claim they'll actually be thousands of dollars a year less well off and others complain that will get as much as some time

employees. and i'm a zone's new minimum wage will affect some two hundred fifty thousand employees as well as more than one hundred thousand seasonal workers concerns have been raised about the elimination of its stock awards program and the retailer has also phased out incentive payments but i was on says that the increase in the hourly wage will compensate the losses from previous benefits and shannon allen who we heard from a bit earlier gave us hope views on the new pay scheme. there's 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 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 us 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 till two thousand and twenty or still to come here on the program on to the chinese ambassador to the united states so as beijing does not want to be in a trade war with america or should some light hold out in just a moment. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something want to. have to try to be close this is what the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of. course it. seems wrong but. just don't call. me. yet to stamp out just being educated and engage me in the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she's to look for common ground.

talk to your child on dial up but what i'm smiling. but find out the couple of i don't know the audio i might want to go to an out with a good boy and girl i am in the jungle and i'm jumping up jump. when i'm told going to die young pup. the chinese ambassador to the united states has said that beijing has no choice but to defend itself from a trade war it doesn't want one started by washington it's important to notice who started this trade or we never want to have a trade war but if somebody has ties or 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 wars trumps anger with china's trade surplus with the united states despite all the punitive measures america's trade deficit with beijing has now in fact reached a new record daniel bushell picks up the story the supremum of us of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting sons to six centuries b.c. applied by his homeland today to a different war trade wars protracted trade war believe bling 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 a launching the largest trade war in history trump slaps vicious restrictions on beijing get its 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 american tolls on china in january next month beijing only sells the more same off the french 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 china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight. election i've done a lot of business which china china china sees 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 a g. trump summit next month where u.s. way out the chinese finger trap can be hammered out so then who'd a thunk it trump would make china great again. so what this

means is that of course china is basically won 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 time 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 to the last two quarters to get as much product and as possible before the tariffs hit. and china is pursuing other trade relationships to continue to cause our economy to grow so this is what this shows is that the u.s. has completely failed our job monday worldwide news headlines will continue at the top of the hour hope you can join us then.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime tamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business show you can afford to miss the one and only. i don't have faith in this government i don't have faith in love president i don't have faith in the system i see i've got it i'm just a broken system is that just. for people like me. as long as they are.
