please. please. if. you will of course today is not an easy day for the c.s.u. we didn't get good results it was somewhat painful a bad day for the german chancellor angela merkel's conservative allies in the area who is set to lose their majority in regional elections that is the right wing and the greens make the story gags also to come this hour an arctic donald trump's trade war appears to be back far in with china's trade surplus with the u.s. reaching a record high despite a punitive measures and the deadline for terror groups to draw from

a demilitarized zone around series last rebel stronghold expires jihadi fighters staying put on the front is facing a legal challenge over almost two hundred nuclear tests conducted in the same distance territories polynesia the island's former president branding them crimes against humanity. so that it's this started to go down really far away from frost and do it in the lead so. why. why. well i welcome you watching r.t. international start with some news just in to you because police say they have closed part of the train station in the german city of cologne due to a hostage situation a local police have posted the warning online telling the public to stay away from

the area the security operation at the station is ongoing no details of how many people involved of course keeping a close eye on this story and bring you updates as we get. we while voters in the german state very have inflicted a heavy blow on chancellor merkel's key ally handing the christian social union its worst election result for decades the party is set to lose its absolute majority in the region's parliament meaning it will need a coalition partner with reports suggesting this will likely be the third place for voters party meanwhile the greens almost double their vote share and the anti migrant a.f.d. entered the parliament for the very first time following a hard fought campaign. what topics are for the people in your democracy which are much more green topics like urban development and climate change consumer protection questions and instead you will play with

a few years of people their migration will cause problems within the country and you also misunderstand what is actually going on in the country during two weeks' time we have another important election and this is a different scenario because the governor of harrison supports america and it also doesn't look very bright for him so we go generally speaking you know fair use that is the end of that your america and if you will stay in power until the end of her term it's a thousand days. now the chinese ambassador to the us has said that beijing has no choice but to defend itself in a trade war it doesn't want mistah or to buy washington. it's important to note as who started this trade war we never want to have a trade war but if somebody is tired of the trade war against us we have to respond and defend our own interests those remarks there do 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 is trump's anger with china's trade surplus with the u.s. but despite all the punitive measures that have happened america's trade deficit with beijing has in fact reached a new record with more his than your bullshit the supremum of us of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting sons six centuries b.c. applied by his homeland today to a different war trade war protracted trade war believe billing 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 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 chinese 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 has 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 start hiring 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. so american importers are rushing in very very fast the last two four years 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. deadline for terror groups to pull out of a buffer zone around serious last rebel held strongholds past with jihadist

fighters staying put earlier i was joined by artie's goes down off with an update on the situation there. now this is the biggest intrigue is whether or not the rebel factions stationed in the northern province of idlib or will comply with the deal because today this monday is when all those two groups all those militants are supposed to make the biggest concession of all within the frameworks of the agreement brokered out by russia and turkey they're supposed to withdraw their fighters from the twenty or so kilometer wide buffer zone in the province of idlib and so it is complicated because there are a lot of factions and all of them have to comply to avoid any violations but for example one hours before today's deadline the most for medical force front now known as i. said this have a listen we have not abandon our choice of jihad fighting towards implementing our blessed revolution so there you have

a day our nursery front formally known as al qaeda in syria they did. openly denounced the deal like a couple of other groups did but still judging by their statement they want to keep on fighting the assad army and you know withdrawing from the front line doesn't really help that cause. now this deadline is only one of those things was an elite on by russia what were the other key points with another key point it was too for rebels for all the factions in italy to withdraw heavy arms from the buffer zone that was this was like a first step and largely from what we've seen so far we haven't seen too many reports of violations of that but one thing is to withdraw having weapons and another thing is to withdraw your own fighters essentially moving front lines closer to what they see as their home is their last stronghold and for turkey it is defacto a guarantor of the guarantor of the rebels complying with the deal it is again

a very difficult task because not only there is a lot of groups to control that to see them complying with the deal but also sometimes groups say one thing and then do another and but so far russia has been saying that turkey is doing its best to see the deal succeed which is. the agreements are being fulfilled without turkish partners having the main role they're actively fighting to get all groups to cooperate so ultimately today and the next following days will be key to understanding if the deal is on the way to being successful or whether or the groups all those various factions in adlib whether they will continue fighting. speaking to me earlier now 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 test caused irreversible damage to locals branding them

a crime against humanity however paris denies the nearly two hundred atomic test had any harmful impact on the environment. the. the my friends they keep. preaching and cease 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 that they had enough profit.

from nine hundred sixty seats i'll fail for the problem and we're screwed 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 klein 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. 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. the laws of the international criminal court for crimes. begins to money teach these last few games to bring forward only when sandra president since the start of a nuclear test country. we decided to go really far away from. twenty thousand kilometers in the south pacific and do it in the. lead say in paradise. in the process of course it. why why. international still ahead this hour saudi arabia is under growing pressure from the west over the disappearance of a journalist in turkey that among the stories just after the break.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to be close this is what the three of them all can't be good. interested always in the waters in the. first ship. you cannot operate as united nations this is not just one rob but un d.p. world health organization and in fact 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 all routines which are

hamas in this case field or has been for most of the last few years. welcome back nice tidy rabia is warning other countries not to threaten it is international pressure mounts over the case of a missing journalist to mount a shogi feed in a society conscious that has led to the specter of sanctions sending the kingdom stock market plunging the u.s. is also among the countries issuing warnings to the siding striking a very different tone to what was being said last year we saw i just irked 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. i believe it's a 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 country but there are other things we can do it will be very severe drought was last seen entering the saudi consciousness in the stamboul on october the second no one there was heard from him since turkey has not officially keys riyadh being involved but some reports claim its intelligence services have evidence a soldier was tortured and killed saudi arabia strongly denies the accusations and

has offered to help in the investigation but we spoke to a saudi analyst but he he thinks that talks of sanctions are premature. he has many many many many cards to play many cards but the oil is not one of those cards because saudi arabia has believed that oil supplies and oil change and this is what the world want to hear this is all for the benefit of the whole for whole world and the whole economies and the people but definitely saudi arabia has a game and has card that they can play and i don't think really a sanction will be put on saudi arabia if nobody wants to sell us weapon the market to you great and more advance probably if we get. for example. from russia it will be more advanced than the one that actually is released by the congress or saudi arabia all what they allow through it's not for any benefit i think everybody should calm down not to politicize the this issue and let's get the investigation going but let's solve the issue it's not any more about jamal it's

basically people are taking revenge. amazon has been repeatedly criticised say for poor working conditions that is where has some employees now claiming their physical health has been seriously impacted. i'm living out of my car thank you thank you amazon it's a broken me it's its i mean mentally and physically it's it's approaching me. i'm not the only one this is and this is an epidemic literally i did nasa 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 i like compensation for is the interest that i sustained at amazon but. we don't recognize these allegations is an accurate portrayal of what damages it we lost safety record . one month's worth of pay for. to shut me up. the station that i entered myself on the previous year again october they were still broke eight months later they still had not been seen.

for a warehouse job where people literally fall out and. the heat. i think we should be paid more than fifteen dollars an hour. to me they don't care about their employees feel that there's no sympathy there's no empathy they literally they do not care it's all about how bush and the worker to the absolute limit. recently announced it was hiking its minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour a move that was welcomed by employees we are off to establishing a new amazon minimum wage of fifteen dollars an hour. however some members and staff is now being less enthusiastic about the pay rise because they say that other benefits have been cut to make it possible some workers

claim will actually be thousands of dollars a year less well off and others complain that new stuff will get as much as some long time employees. 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 the retailer has also faced incentive payments but amazon says that the increase in the wage will compensate for the losses from previous benefits jan and allan who we heard from earlier gave us her views on the new pay scale. 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 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

state 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. like i will before we go this have a quick recap of our breaking news because police say they have closed part of the train station in the german city of cologne due to a hostage situation no idea no indication yet on the numbers involved although local police have posted a warning on mind telling the public to stay away from the area of the security operation at the station is still ongoing that's the latest bring you more as we get it. thanks me company will be back again with the headlines and more
