good evening thanks for joining us this is r.t. internet. voters in the german state of bavaria have inflicted their heavy blow on chancellor. the christian social union suffered its worst election result for decades losing its absolute majority in the region's parliament means the party will now need to find a coalition partner reports suggest that it's likely to be the third place for the voters party. the greens they almost double their vote share. and to parliament for the first time all of this following.
4:02 pm
we didn't get could result. in upset. in the very our way but. break through. it's a day off to the regional elections here and bavaria which led to a devastating blow and major losses for angela merkel sister party the c.s.u.
4:03 pm
the german chancellor said it was an issue of trust between voters and politicians in her party confidence in the politicians what's missing from this election and confidence is very important my lesson from the election in the very is that two chancellor have to do more to ensure that the trust is there coming just off to merkel finally managed to piece together a delicate grahams coalition with the c.s.u. and reluctant s.p.d. following her own disastrous results last september in the general election the outcome is another blow to yet a fragile three party government the c.i.s. your leader has made it clear that the c.s.u. will be able to continue to play a central role in the federal government see hoff is also known for criticising merkel's open door policy which he thought would translate into votes for the c.s.c. but this proved otherwise the c.s.u. has long dominated by very in politics for the last six decades coming away with absolute majority is in twelve out of the thirteen last elections but some days
4:04 pm
results means that they will now have to form a coalition and talks could start as early as next week the bavarian prime minister has said that the policy would prefer an alliance with the independence free voters let's take a listen to what he said it's certain that first a coalition with the party of free voters is a viable option but we still need to talk with the other parties but the c.s.u. has already ruled out sharing powers with the de well tentative to germany party made their debut in the region of the actions of they've said they're ready to be an opposition force and they're the party that recorded a spike in games where the greens and they've now become the second largest opposition party in southern germany the rising popularity of the greens on the f.t. means that voters the move. away from the centrist parties to the left and the right of the spectrum germany is now looking to what its next state election that will be and has say when voters go to the polls there if the c.d.u. and the c.s.u.
4:05 pm
face losses that the coalition could really be in trouble and that elections take place on the twenty eighth of october then the next few days and weeks could be a crucial moment in rebuilding stability here for the regional parliament in bavaria. in a departure from the americans assessment of the elections in munich last berglund for the bitter losses are doing faith in germany's coalition politics is being eroded. noses and bitter or in general it was a bitter evening for the s.p.d. if i was able to tell you the reason we could have avoided those mistakes are presume it's not about the party's policies as polls suggest they are precisely what people care about nowadays homes rental payments social support the environment the s.p.d. in bavaria has researched these issues over and over i think the main problem is we are losing trust people don't think we're able to deliver what we promised with the party's programme unfortunately it's all about the s.p.d.
4:06 pm
party i will say carefully lynn didn't help us many decisions then were taken half heartedly and politicians often went back on their words certainly that doesn't help to strengthen faith in the party today we found that ourselves. turkish investigators on monday are searching brads consulate in istanbul where saudi dissident journalist jim all a strategy mysteriously disappeared two weeks ago the search is carried out by both turkish and saudi officials in all donald trump has spoken to the saudi king and told the president he has no knowledge of what happened to the reporter from but it is he sending the secretary of state to meet with the monarch speculated rogue killers might be behind the disappearance king firmly denies any knowledge of it. really no. i don't want to get it. sounded to me like baby.
4:07 pm
killer. we're going to try getting to the bottom of a very. large. jamal how should she was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul on october second no one has heard from him since turkey hasn't officially accused riyadh of being involved but some reports claim its intelligence services of evidence showed she was tortured and killed saudi arabia since strongly denied the acts ations and even offered to help investigate the case. as international pressure mounts over the disappearance riyadh is warning countries not to threaten it so ji suspected murder in the consulate has led to the specter of sanctions sending the kingdom stock market plunging the u.s. is among nations issuing warnings to the saudis but the u.s. president is trying to keep afloat multi-billion economic deal signed last year. we
4:08 pm
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. 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 and it will be very severe we spoke to saudi analyst i meant to him he thinks that talk of sanctions is premature. there will be a has many many many many cards to play many cards but the oil is not one of those
4:09 pm
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 their people but definitely saudi arabia has a game and has card that's great currently 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 will be allowed through it's not for any benefit i think everybody should calm down not to politicize the this 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. could or has announced that it is partly restoring access to communications for we can leaks founder julian assange has been inside the country's embassy in london for more than six years now just
4:10 pm
connection to the outside world was cut back in march let's get more on this story now from our correspondent in london joins me on the line he says sounds like a sign she's back in business but perhaps with some qualifications that tell us more. yes sources close to assad telling me that the ecuadorian embassy impose new ominous sounding protocols which will really control many aspects of his day to day life inside the ecuadorian embassy of course where he has been holed up for several years now and now this is a protocol that consists of ten pages going through these various aspects and they include. how his visit regulates it including people having to send e-mail requests in order to go and visit him how he communicates with the world of course we know that his internet access has been restricted for the past six months or so his treatment medical treatment how his access to treatment is dealt with the
4:11 pm
two parts of the ten page memo that as part of this protocol and also it calls on him prohibits him from making any statements that could be defined or seen as interfering with the other with the internal affairs of other states and of course what prompted his internet access to be taken away in the first place around six months ago one of the many messages and tweets and other communications he was putting out into the world regarding the catalonia referendum and of course since then his internet access has been restricted and in september as well he was forced to resign as we keenly edited being reflect replaced by christine roughness an icelandic investigative journalist and so all of these restrictions being placed on mr sounds now being codify it in this ten page document by the ecuadorian embassy
4:12 pm
hoping perhaps that they can stop him from releasing any possibly embarrassing leaks. information about potential allies to the ecuadorian government of course as we said just. he's no longer the editor of weekly except exactly how much control they can have over mr. questionable and we've heard from wiki leaks as well they've issued a statement saying that due to extraordinary circumstances which have been placed on judy in the silent he has now been replaced so we'll be waiting to see exactly how this impacts mr sound on a day to day basis but of course he's still there with no end in sight of when he will be able to leave the ecuadorian embassy here and of course once he's back on line as we surely expect him to be interesting to see what he thinks about the restrictions it being imposed on in themselves many thanks ali our correspondent with the latest. on to other news now spain is bracing for
4:13 pm
more violence as this football stars take on england in seville on monday night that after clashes between police and drunken three lions fans of course carnage on sunday smashing cars and property is more his r.t. sports correspondent alexia ships. situation not exactly unheard of but the english football fans are making themselves loud again this time in soudan spain city of seville where the national team is playing spain now it began on sunday night when what the media described as drink fuelled anti-social behavior by the english fans erupted when the riot police had to walk in after the english translated vandalizing cars and smashing property or you think that was loud that loud is continued into the day on this clip posted on social media the english fans are bombing the pope in a pub outside. your central in seville for one fan of england it ended pretty early
4:14 pm
he drank half a bottle of some book and was a scored on an ambulance car now the f.a. english f.a. had to apologize for the fan behavior saying that it was unacceptable and promised to identify those involved and sanctioned all those responsible for this disorder funnily enough but some of these english fans on the ground have blamed the spanish police for what happened to them like this bloodied bloke here saying that with the spanish police and feel and you know you might think this is shifting the blame but they have a point the spanish police particularly have been very rough when it comes to greeting and treating english fans last year when liverpool played civilian that city there was a lot of trouble between the fans of the police and even a blind man had his cane taken away by the police and the club promised to investigate those actions which begs the question who ever thought of putting that game into the city with such a bad history so it looks like it's a recipe for disaster but we'll know soon enough whether spain against england would provoke any more fan trouble. the chinese ambassador to the united
4:15 pm
states has said beijing has no choice but to defend itself from a trade war that it doesn't want and that it says was started by washington. this is important to notice 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 the remarks come amid heightened tensions over months of billions worth of tit for tat tariffs between the world's two biggest economies one of the reasons for the trade war is trump sango with china's trade surplus with the u.s. but despite all the punitive measures america's trade deficit with beijing has in fact reach a new record bush explains the supremum of its 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
4:16 pm
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 trump 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 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. has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight. election i've done
4:17 pm
a lot of business with china china 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. debt because that cash in something washington has a problem there are talks for a trump summit next month where u.s. way out the chinese finger trap can be hammered out to then who'd a thunk it trump would make china great again so what this means is that of course china is basically one 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 starts harm china certainly the us 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
4:18 pm
in very very fast 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 or economy to grow so this is what this shows is that the us has completely failed. the deadline for terrorist groups to pull out of a buffer zone around syria's last rebel held stronghold has expired manager how this fight is a stay put earlier my colleague on the pharma discuss the situation with r.t. to gauge than. 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
4:19 pm
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. 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 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
4:20 pm
reports of violations of that but one thing is to withdraw heavy weapons and another thing is to withdraw your own fighters essentially moving frontlines closer to what they see as their home is their last stronghold and for turkey it is defacto a go into or 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 it to see them complying with the de. 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 those two upon yourselves 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
4:21 pm
the way to being successful or whether or the groups or all those various factions in ad lib whether they will continue fighting. the marriage of a jewish actor and muslim news anchor is sparking outrage in israel that's after top israeli politicians significantly up the ante by signaling their opposition to the move this is their private matter but i 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 lucy harish was seducing a jewish soul with the goal of harming our country i do blame saqib the islamicize ing halevi bro stop being delusional so our questions over whether israel should be condemning their citizens choice of no washington claims all middle eastern
4:22 pm
countries should be as democratic as the jewish state that is to 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's path to the ball iran's aggression or danger that you're wrong you're wrong not be rewarded for russians in the region and what countries do to
4:23 pm
those they don't see eye to eye with follow the israeli example and throw up a fence it will be. the most were 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. but. 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
4:24 pm
weapons right maybe yes no question for you does israel have nuclear capabilities and nuclear weapons yes or no. we've always said that we will 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 that started out 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 aligning themselves very closely and that's
