of course today is not an easy day for the c.s.u. we didn't get a good result it was so more painful. the german chancellor is key ally in the very is dealt a big blow when regional elections there are on course to lose their majority is the right wing and the greens make historic gains also this hour how despite his defiant deadline for terror groups withdraw from a demilitarized zone around syria's last rebel stronghold and donald trump trade war appears to be backfiring china's trade surplus with the u.s. reaching a record high despite a barrel of punitive measures. hello

there it's just gone five pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international my vote is in the german state a very you have inflicted a heavy blow on chancellor merkel's key ally the christian social union suffered its worst election results for decades and the party now looks set to lose its absolute majority in the region's parliament meaning it will need a coalition partner report suggests this will likely be the third place revoke his party meanwhile the greens almost doubled their vote share and the anti migrant a.f.d. entered parliament for the very first time following a hard fought campaign. today is not an easy day for the see if we didn't get a good result it was somewhat painful.

i. now has the latest from a very. it was a bruising result in sunday's election with a medical system policy the c.s.u. who lost their absolute majority in terri a minister who heads up the c.s.a. and he's known for criticizing merkel's open door policy which he thought would translate into votes of the c.s.u. some is suggesting he should resign but since the results he said there are two sides to the coin is this it is not a good day for christian social union this is a result we cannot be satisfied with true but it's also true that very in voters

have given us a clear mandate to build a new complement for bavaria and we will assume this responsibility. now the c.s.a. will have to form a coalition but they've already ruled out sharing power with the f.d.a. which brings us on to the historic moment for the alternative to chairmen who made their debut and are ready to be an opposition force within the government but another party with a spike in votes with the greens who recorded strong gains and now the second largest party in the regional governments in southern germany we are satisfied we will be in a position force but if the government makes reasonable legislative proposals they will vote in favor of the people of bavaria clearly show this they want to policy that takes action that looks forwards that courage instead of fear and that's what we greens stand for more than any other party in this country the results with rising popularity of the greens i'm f.t.

have met the voters attending away from the centrist parties to the left and the right but looking at other policies now heads of jimmie's as they called it a poor election result at all levels she thinks the crash of her party was because of the performance of the coalition but speaking in berlin secretary general of merkel c.d.u. blames the c.s.u. results on recent quarrels within the coalition it is. disputes of the past few months especially the terms and this style as well as the projects of the grand coalition were not communicated in the good reasonable way to the outside world. now the next few days and weeks will be a crucial time in piecing together a stable regional government here in those area geo political analyst only broken a belief that the current tensions between the c.s.u. and merkel of the party are reflected in the poll results the style in politics and the communication within the coalition gave

a terrible impression of the state of the conservative party if you have a sister like that see as well you don't need enemies the other problem is that if you don't understand what the 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 play with a few years of people that migration could cause problems within the country then you also misunderstand what is actually going on in the country in 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 in a phase that is the end of that year america and if she will stay in power until the end of her term it's a thousand days. a deadline for terror groups to pull out of

a buffer zone around syria's largest rebel held stronghold has expired but many jihadist fighters have decided to stay put when earlier i discussed the situation with artie's hugo she done. this is the biggest intrigue is whether or not the rebel factions stationed in the northern province of idlib will will comply with the deal because today this monday is when all those 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 front formerly known as al qaeda in syria they didn't openly denounce 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 was only one of the things was in it agreed on by to russia what with the other key points with other key points it was to for the rebels for all the factions in libya 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 heavy 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 go into law 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 while turkey is doing its best to see the deal succeed which of the loons two of the agreements are being fulfilled with our 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 of the groups of all those various factions in ad lib whether they will continue fighting. the chinese ambassador to the us has said that her beijing has no choice but to defend itself from a trade war it doesn't want a misstep hearted by washington but it's important to notice who started this trade

or will never want to have a trade war if somebody has ties of the trade the war against us we have to respond and defend our own interests or those remarks there do come in with heightened tensions over months of billions worth of tit for tat terrorist between the world's two largest economies one of the reasons for the trade wars trumps anger with china's trade surplus with the u.s. although despite all the punitive measures so far america's trade deficit with beijing is actually reached a new record a new bushel takes up the story the supremum of it's of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting sun tzu sixth century b.c. applied by his homeland today two 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 from slops 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. turn america way 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 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 seas route china 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 to the one 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 shows that of course the american consumers are the ones that are going to be are paying the highest prices for this and start harm 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 us american importers are rushing in very very fast to the last two quarters to get as much product and as possible before the tariffs here. 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. the turkish investigators on monday a searching riyadh's consulate in istanbul where saudi dissident journalist you malka soldiery mysteriously disappeared two weeks ago these are live pictures from outside the consulate this search is set to be carried out by both to officials meanwhile donald trump has spoken to the saudi king to tell the president he has no knowledge of what happened to the reporter trumpeted that he's sending the secretary of state to meet the monarch he also speculated to rogue killers might be behind the disappearance thing very we didn't. really know. i don't want to get it. sounded to me like. you. were going to try getting to the bottom of a very. large. amount of thought she was last seen entering the saudi consulate in

our image stamboul on october the second no one though has heard from him since turkey has not officially accused riyadh of being involved but some reports declaring its intelligence services do have evidence that the journalist was tortured and killed. saudi arabia has since strongly denied the accusations as we've heard and his offer to help in the investigation. well as international pressure mounts over his disappearance riyadh is warning countries not to threaten it because saudi suspected murder in the consciousness led to the specter of sanctions sending the kingdom stock market plunging the u.s. among nations issuing warnings to the saudis however the us president is trying to keep a multi-billion economic to your signed last year a flight we side historic 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. i believe it's a largest order ever made its 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 tree but there are other things we can do it will be very severe when we spoke to the saudi analyst but i think he thinks that talk of sanctions is 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 cards that we can play and i don't think really a sanction would be put on saudi arabia if nobody wants to sell us weapons the market to you great and more advance probably if we get. for example weapons from russia it will be more advanced than the one that actually is released by the congress to be all what they allow so 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 out they can prevent so to come to this out you can assign to parities had his internet access in the dorian and missing in london partly restored we'll have a look at the details in a couple minutes. what

politicians do so little. to put themselves on the on the big get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. more some want to be rich. but you'd like to be cross with what looks like the three of them all can't be good but. i'm interested always in the waters of the caller's. question. so small seems wrong when old roles just don't call. me old yet to say proud just to become educated and engaged because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

hello again i work with doors and that is that is partly restoring access to communications from wiki leaks founder julian assange has been inside the country's embassy in london for over six years now connection though to the side world was cut back in march let's get more details from an situation that was in the u.k. office nasty get off the news it looks like getting the songe might be back online at least partially. well indeed andrew communications for a wiki leaks founder julian assange who has in fact been holed up inside the ecuadorian embassy here in london for over six years have been partially restored by the equipe dorrian government following an entire seven month blackout one of sondre was essentially denied access to the internet to phones as well as to

visitors with the exception of his legal team following a series of opinions he had expressed online on hot political topics including the issue of cattle and independence and back at the time the ecuadorian government had ahead of this decision to cut his communications had cited a commitment he they said had signed up to at the end of twenty seventeen to not express any messages which would interfere with other states however we can leaks as well as julian assange had denied at the time that any such commitment was made by him and throughout this time of seven months when this blackout was taking place wiki leaks did appoint a longtime associate of julian a songe as editor in chief of weekly leaks and now following this latest announcement it comes after a meeting between top senior u.n. officials and the ecuadorian president discussing the matter and this is what we can weeks had to say. a in reaction to this announcement to partially return his

ability to communicate with the outside world it is positive that through un intervention ecuador has partly ended the isolation of mr so and although it is of great concern that his freedom to express his opinions is still limited the un has already declared mistress owns a victim of arbitrary detention this unacceptable situation must end. well julian assange just biggest fear of course remains of possible extradition to the united states where he fears being prosecuted for the work that we can leaks have been doing over the years and he and his team want to see guarantees that such a thing would not happen and of course they have not seen any such promises as of yet anderson and his team of course are continuing to work on any possible legal options for him moving forward but the way things stand as we speak the future in the next steps for this massive big case for julian assange continues to be

extremely unclear ok thanks for the update there was an organ in there for us in the u.k. . the marriage of a jewish actor a news anchor is sparking outrage in israel that after top israeli politicians significantly upped the ante by signaling their opposition to the me. this is their private matter but as a jew i have to say that i'm against these things because we have to preserve the jewish nation the way we've preserved it for thousands of years i have a problem with intermarriage there are fewer jews in the world that there were during the holocaust and there is good reason in trying to grow i don't blame her is for seducing a jewish soul with the goal of harming our country i do blame sakhi the islamicized saying hey lady bruce stop being delusional despite questions over whether israel should be condemning their citizens choice of partner washington claims that all middle eastern country should be as democratic as the jewish state. takes up the

story. apparently the trump administration would have the whole middle east be just like israel if they had their way israel is everything we want the entire middle east to look like going forward it is democratic and prosperous it desires peace and is a home to a free press and a thriving free market economy so let's just take a moment and picture that the entire middle east would look at donald trump to the same eyes as ben human. everyone in the region would hate iran with the same fiery passion threat posed by iran whose chief exports are violence bloodshed and chaos iran large iran spread through the fall aggression danger that you're wrong you're wrong not be rewarded for rushing the region and what countries do to those they don't see eye to eye with follow the israeli example and throw up

a fence there's only. the most of them in a neighborhood we need to protect ourselves from wild beasts at the end of the day as i see it there will be a fence like this one surrounding israel in its entirety now in that scenario all of israel's neighbors would likely be blocking them in and of course every country in the middle east would be broken down into pro and anti government building barriers and israel has shown us exactly how those rebelling would be treated. let's not forget about the lovely nuclear stockpile israel is believed to have the region would be filled with nukes not that they'd ever admit to having such weapons right maybe or yes no question for you does israel have nuclear capabilities and

nuclear weapons yes or no. we've always said that we won't be the first to introduce who we have been introduced is all of that what the secretary of state had in mind let's hope not you really have to see this in the context of american domestic politics and not really in middle eastern politics certainly for israeli jews israel is a very successful country it's often referred to here in the united states as start up nation what kind of reception does it have the middle east care about israel is very unpopular for the way that it has been pushing aside the palestinians and oppressing the palestinians netanyahu and trump have found a brotherhood in their policies towards the palestinians and towards the saudis and towards iraq they've they've really aligned themselves very closely and that's what you were hearing at the chance the speech by pump a zero on

a has one of the world's largest collections of antiquities from every corner of the globe but control this is always surrounded just how many of the pages have ended up in the british museum critics things that it's a showcase of colonial pillage but attempts by the musician have played a part an easy and to counter those claims haven't quite gone to plan.

not everything here was acquired by. might start shoplifting me as an excuse to works out a sure of a certain most of the stuff in my house is stolen but not all of that so it's funny . i'm no lawyer but i'm not entirely sure this argument will prevail and. i hear british museum is playing a special section called. not everything because you are three objects that weren't. and that's the news for now don't forget that we've got plenty of stories for you to i don't website you can find that but i.

don't have faith in this government official of president i don't have space in the system i sort of got it's all right i'm too liberal the system is not decided for people like me. as bloodless. defend the poor here for different reasons the loss of job loss. most people in philadelphia are only about two paychecks away from homelessness. 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 tempi each

dish. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one to one business show you can afford to miss the one and only.

now imagine a time when you're watching going underground as morse code anchor attack iran to damascus introduce a twenty kilometer y. demilitarized zone against so-called moderate rebels in the syrian province of idlib but who backs the moderate rebels we speak to award winning journalist charles glass about a century of western secret wars and saudi u.k. relations one of the kingdom's dissidents tells us the alleged murder of journalist jamal khashoggi is nothing new they meet almost to do it enough to play in that job i had plus why was the first ever woman film director it raised from history but first to more in london has an energy conference with to raise amaze energy minister clare perry and the bows of the french government c.d.f. companies to see if anyone wants to know how the u.k.'s energy system came to be defacto controlled from the end is a palace in paris you have to look at ageing archive adverts selling the idea back in one nine hundred ninety when mrs thatcher was in power. anyone who uses

electricity would be able to apply because she is in the twelve electricity companies of india didn't win so you could buy into. what you plan to do media for eventually bought enough of the shares in british electricity to make swathes of it accountable to the french electorate simone rossi speaking tomorrow is the boss of e.d.f. supplying around six million homes in britain and he's proud of one particular project we're also building a new nuclear station in point here in the u.k. we now have about three thousand five hundred people on site which two on that apprentice this number is throwing. d.c. or we will be spending about up to one hundred million pounds a month on these projects and to. sort of these money around around to sort of money spent in the accounts but let alone with the u.k. electricity users can afford to include bills from the french government even now financially partnered with the communist party in china or afford to build the

nuclear power station not according to its opponents if it goes through. e.t.f. or really committee commercial and industrial suicide because they need to listen to the west and by. the west financial press they need to listen to their own union. who will say you must go jumping into this e.t.f. cannot afford. the amount of money they'd have to borrow to to build this is more than what they're actually e.t.f. is actually worth e.t.f. denies that but the reactor in southwestern england is based on an e.t.f. design inflammable in france in the past few days france is nuclear regulator a.s.n. as accused e.d.f. of mismanagement costs have now had to be revised upwards in the project will be delayed according to labor leader jeremy corbyn he points he will not only push up .
