thanks for joining us this is our internet. voters in the german state of bavaria have inflicted a heavy blow on chancellor merkel. the christian social union suffered its worst election result for decades losing its majority and while the greens almost doubled their vote share of the anti migrant a.f.d. ended parliament for the first time following what had been a hard fought campaign. how .

the election upsets. it's a day off to the regional elections here and varia which led to a devastating blow and major losses for angela merkel sister party the c.s.u. the german chancellor said it was an issue of trust between voters and politicians in her party. in the politicians what's missing from this election and confidence is very important my lesson from the election in the very is that to chancellor have to do more to ensure that the trust is there coming just off to merkel finally managed to piece together and delicates graham's 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 yes a fragile three party government the c.s.u. 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 criticizing 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 varian politics for the last six decades coming away with absolute majority some twelve out of the thirteen last elections but sunday's 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 party 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 a party of three 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 day they'll tell it if the germany party made their debut in the region of the actions of they've said they're ready to be an opposition force and the party that recorded a spike in games where the greens they may have now become the second largest opposition party in southern germany the rising popularity of the greens i'm not if day means that voters in movie. away from the centrist parties to the left and the right of the spectrum germany is now looking towards its next states election that will be in her say where voters go to the polls there if the c.d.u. and the c.s.u. face losses that the coalition could really be in trouble and that elections take place on the twenty eighth of october that 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 elections the munich lashed to burden for the bitter

losses for germany's coalition parties 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 program unfortunately it's all about the s.p.d. party i will say carefully lynn didn't help us many decisions then were taken half heartedly 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 are searching riyadh's consulate in istanbul where saudi

dissident journalist a marker said she mysteriously disappeared two weeks ago and while donald trump a spoke to the saudi king he told the u.s. president he has no knowledge of what happened to the reporter from parted he sending the secretary of state to meet the monic he also speculated rogue killers could be behind the disappearance. king firmly denied any knowledge of it. really no. i don't want to get it but it sounded to me like baby. killer. we're going to try getting to the bottom of a very what is was a plot. which of all the shoji was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul on october the second no one has heard from them since turkey hasn't officially accused we had of being involved but some reports claim that its intelligence services have evidence the journalist was tortured and killed saudi

arabia has since strongly denied the accusations and even offered to help investigate the case. other cases send jitters through the financial world with saudi stocks plunging but the u.s. is keen to maintain its multi-billion economic deals with saudi arabia 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 the 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 go in 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 we spoke to saudi analyst achmet alibre haim he thinks the talk of sanctions it's premature to be 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 and 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 a card that's going currently and i don't think really a sanction would be put on saudi arabia if nobody wants to sell us what the market is 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 is our very be all would be a lawsuit 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 anymore about jamal it's basically people out they can prevent. ecuador has agreed to partially restore internet access the wiki leaks founder julian assange which has been inside the country's embassy in london for more than six years but he is being given some strict guidelines on how to behave online ali has details. sources close to julian assange told r.t. that the ecuadorian embassy has 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 e-mail 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 cots because of course he was making many statements about political issues around the world and as a result he had these access that's now been reestablished albeit only partial access to the internet now in september mr sound was forced to resign as we keep at it he was replaced by the icelandic investigative journalist kristinn hrafnsson and we can examine 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 nation's leak but the run up to that game in seville was overshadowed by family violence with scenes of carnage and vandalism on sunday night and police say that they're expecting further clashes explains the situation not exactly unheard of but the english football fans are making themselves loud again this time in saudi. 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 the figure 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 when used coming your way after the short break

a comeback the chinese ambassador to the united states is said beijing has no choice but to defend itself from a trade war it's as it doesn't want and it says was started by washington it's important to note your school started this trade war we never want to have a trade war but if somebody is tired of the trade 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 terrorists between what all the world's two biggest economies one of the reasons for the trade war is donald trump's anger

with china's trade surplus with the u.s. but it's vital the punitive measures america's trade deficit with beijing has in fact reached a new record level bushell has the story. the supremum arts 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 war 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 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. 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 trump summit next month where u.s. way out the chinese finger trap can be hammered out so than 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 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 u.s. american importers are rushing in very very fast the last two quarters to get as much product and as possible before the tariffs here 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. the deadline for terrorists to pull out of a buffer zone around syria's last rebel held stronghold has expired that he had his fighters of stayed put there my colleague andrew farmer discussed the situation with artie's and he's 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 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 italy 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 familiar will 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 wasn't agreed on by turkey russia what with the other key points with another key point 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 our the 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 war 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 doable in 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. the marriage of a jewish actor and muslim news anchor is sparking outrage in israel after some outspoken remarks from politicians. 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 for seducing a jewish soul with the goal of harming our country i do blame sakhi islamicize ing halevi bro stop being delusional despite questions over whether israel should be condemning their citizens choice upon them washington claims all little eastern countries should be as democratic as the jewish state parties jaclyn viggo 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 power 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 it will be. the muslim in our 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 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 joint to do so and so we haven't introduced it is all 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 just. haven't come. out like. that.

and why he. officially combo dear is getting richer. trade investment and tourism have all increased over the last few years. but this is a country that's still in recovery from the genocide by the committee rouge in the one nine hundred seventy s. . millions live in extreme poverty survive the on little more than a dollar a day. homelessness is

a constant threat and children are especially vulnerable. unicef estimate that a third of the country's sex workers are under eighteen. zero zero. zero why. do you. think. that my youth was on the right. so. john will always. hold out hope that it's wrong imo when someone tomorrow when you bring i will walk with you at
