angela merkel says voters have lost confidence in politicians after the chance of this key ally suffered an upset in the various regional elections. the saudi consulate claims a journalist was murdered by. sources . confirm to r.t. he's been given instructions on how to behave online after having access partially by the ecuadorian embassy.

thanks so much for joining us here in moscow this is our internet. voters in the german state to vote for decades losing its absolute majority in the regions parliament means the party will now need to find a coalition partner report suggests that it's likely to be the third placed free voters party with all the greens almost all of their vote share. parliament for the first time after what was 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

deliver what we promised with the party's program and forced me it's all about the s.p.d. party i will say carefully lynn didn't help us many decisions then were taken halfheartedly politicians often went back on their words certainly that doesn't help to strengthen faith in the party today we felt that ourselves. turkish investigators on monday have been searching riyadh's consulate in istanbul where saudi dissident journalist jamal khashoggi mysteriously disappeared two weeks ago and the search is being carried out by both turkish on saudi officials in the meantime donald trump has spoken to the saudi king who told the u.s. president he has no knowledge of what happened to the reporter jumper did he sending the secretary of state to meet with the morning he also speculated rogue killers could be behind the disappearance. things firmly.

really no. i don't want to get it. sounds to me like. we're going to. jamal khashoggi was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul on october the second no one has heard from him since turkey has not officially accused where they're being involved but some reports claim that its intelligence services have evidence has showed she was tortured and killed saudi arabia has since strongly denied the accusations and even offered to help investigate the case. as international pressure mounts over the disappearance riyadh is warning countries not to threaten its 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 however the us president is trying

to keep afloat multibillion dollar economic deals signed last year 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. 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 that will be very severe and we spoke to saudi analyst early but i hang with thinks that talk of sanctions is premature. saudi arabia 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 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 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 agreed to partially restore internet access for weaklings founder julian assange she's been inside the country's embassy in london for more than six years but he's being given some

strict guidelines on how to behave online and he has the story. forces close to julian asuncion told r.t. that the ecuadorian embassy have drawn up a ten page documents a so-called protocol and part of this memo includes a number of measures which have to be followed and that hit by mr sound as part of his stay inside the ecuadorian embassy they cover various aspects of his day to day life including how his visits are regulated any visitors who do want to visit him have to make an official inquiry via email that covers things like his medical treatment how he communicates with the outside world and also he's prohibited from interfering in the internal affairs of other countries we know of course six months ago mr sound had his internet access cuts because of course he was making many

statements about political issues around the world and as a result he had his access cut that's now been reestablished albeit only partial access to the internet now in september mr sound was forced to resign as we keep leaks he was replaced by the icelandic investigative journalist kristinn hrafnsson we can it's out the time put out a statement saying that it was down to the extraordinary circumstances that mr sanchez had been placed on inside the embassy so remains to be seen exactly what impact these measures will have on mr assange just stay in the embassy and when he will finally be able to leave. england fans are celebrating a shock three two victory of a spain in the way for nations leak but the violent game in seville was overshadowed by found violence with scenes of carnage and vandalism on sunday night and police say that they've been expecting further clashes these alexy reports

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 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 in seville 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 seville and 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 for 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. chinese ambassador to the united 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 it's important to notice who started this trade or we never want to have

a trade war but if somebody is tied to the tree of the war against us we have to respond and defend our own interests and those remarks come amid heightened tensions over months of billions with the tit for tat tariffs between what are the world's two largest economies one of the reasons for the trade war is donald trump's anger with china's trade surplus with the u.s. but despite all the putative measures america's trade deficit with beijing has in fact reached a new record level daniel bushell has the story. the supremum art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting sons to sixth century 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 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 of 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 for china 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 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 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 over 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 u.s. has completely failed. a deadline for terror groups to pull

out of a buffer zone around syria's last rebel held stronghold has expired many jihadist fighters of state puts early my colleague andrew fowler discussed the situation with r.t. if you can stand off. 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 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 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 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 it 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 those doable 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 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 upped 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 islamist sizing halevi bro stop being delusional it's by questions over whether israel should be condemning their citizens choice of partner washington claims all middle eastern countries should be as democratic as the jewish state parties jacqueline verger takes of 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 power through the fall aggression danger that you're wrong you're wrong not be rewarded for the rest of 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 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 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 startup 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 and i think yahoo 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 jinsa speech by pump a of. it to my house one of the world's largest collections of antiquities from every corner of the globe that control the sea has always surrounded just how some of the pieces ended up in the british museum critics say

it's a showcase of colonial pillage but the terms by the museum to counter those claims haven't quite gone to plan. now. everything here was acquired by europeans by alluding.

might start shoplifting there's an excuse the works out for sure officer most of the stuff in my house is stolen but not all of that so it's fine. i'm no lawyer but i'm not entirely sure this argument will prevail in court. i fear british museum is planning a special section called unloaded stuff not everything equal security three objects that were in the loop. as a joining us is aiming to international more updates coming your way in just over half an hour. so.

you know that. you know world a big part of the movie lot and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

take tyranny you too can be disappeared in broad daylight also the fate of a saudi journalist is testing washington's relations with riyadh is the crown prince's rule in doubt and much much more on this edition of crossfire. and your phone pal. coming up. why you know. him from penn there is a trade in young girls souls into an underground six in the street sometimes but the people they trust the most. and. nothing.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw 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 part.
