it's. angela merkel says voters have lost confidence in politicians the chancellor's key ally stuff is not set in the various regional elections. turkish investigators searched the saudi consulate in istanbul over claims that a journalist was murdered by a hit squad inside the building denies all accusations. sources close to julian assange is confirmed to r.t. that he's been given instructions on how to behave online having his internet access partially restored by the ecuadorian embassy.

a warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron great to have you with us this hour now our top story voters in the german state of bavaria have inflicted a heavy blow on chancellor merkel's key ally the christine social union suffered its worst election result for decades losing its majority meanwhile the greens almost doubled their vote share while the anti migrant a.f.d. and to the parliament for the first time following a hard fought campaign. we didn't get a good result it was somewhat painful. chancellor

merkel has blamed a lack of confidence for the election upset as fast as talks on forming a parliamentary coalition in bavaria already underway but as he says that he explains an early breakthrough is unlikely. 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. and the politicians what's missing from this election and confidence is very important my lesson from the election and 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 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 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 result 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 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 tentative 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 in. moving away from the centrist parties to the left on the right of the spectrum germany is now looking towards its next states election that will be in her say when voters go to the polls there if the c.d.u. on 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. and a departure from anglo merkel's assessment of the elections the munich command

lashed out all the bitter losses in their faith in germany's coalition parties has been eroded. those are brutal 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 that 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 parties program unfortunately it's all about the s.p.d. party i will say carefully lynn didn't help us many decisions that 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. took investigators are searching riyadh's consulate in istanbul where saudi dissident

journalist jamal khashoggi aided mysteriously disappeared two weeks ago meanwhile donald trump has spoken to the saudi king who told the president he has no knowledge of what happened to the reporter chum panted that he's sending the secretary of state to meet the monuc he also speculated rogue kelis might be behind the disappearance. firmly denies these are legitimate. you didn't really know maybe i don't want to get it right but it sounded to me like maybe this is a road killer. we're going to try getting to the bottom of it very soon but it was a lot. to marcus thought she was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul on october the second and no one's heard from him since turkey has not officially accused of being involved but some reports claim its intelligence services have evidence the journalist was tortured and killed saudi arabia has

since strongly denies the accusations and has offered to help investigate. the case has sent and jitters through the financial world with saudi stocks plunging the u.s. is keen to maintain its multibillion economic deals with the rabia times 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'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 it will be very severe and we spoke to saudi analysts are committed by him he thinks 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 they can play and i don't think really a sanction will be put on saudi arabia if nobody wants to sell us weapons the market to you great and more advanced probably if we get. for example weapons from russia it will be more advanced than the one that actually is released by the congress or saudi arabia all would be a lawsuit 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 does not 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 for wiki leaks founder julian assange who's been inside the country's embassy in london five or six years but he's been given some strict guidelines on how to behave online. has the details . sources close to julian assange 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 cots because of course he was making many statements about political issues around the world and as a result he had these 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 at it he was replaced by the icelandic investigative journalist kristinn hrafnsson we can examine the time put out a statement saying that it was down to the extraordinary circumstances that mr science has been placed on the 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 football fans are celebrating a shock to a tee victory of a spain in the you a fan nation's lee but in the run up to the game in seville it was overshadowed by fun violence with scenes of carnage and vandalism on sunday night and police say they're expecting further clashes as alexie reports. situation not exactly on the heard 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. the 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 the question who ever thought of putting that game into the city with such a bad history so it's gone china is showing no sign of backing down in a trade dispute with the us we've got that story and.

but politicians do something anything. they 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 this is what the four three of them all the people that i'm interested always in the waters of. the city. you cannot operate as united nations this is not just one route but u.n. 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 here or has been for most of the last few years. welcome back now the chinese on basta to the u.s. is that the beijing has no choice but to defend itself from a trade war it doesn't want and will stall so is my washington it's important to notice who started this trade or we never want to have a trade off but if somebody is tied to the trade the war against us we have to respond and defend our own interests well the remarks come as heightened tensions over the months of billions worth of to fatah terrorists between the world's two.

largest economy is one of the reasons for the trade wars chance to anger with china's trade surplus with the u.s. but despite all the punitive measures america's trade deficit with beijing has in fact reached a new record as daniel bushell explains the supremum arts 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 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 from slops 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 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 which china china china seas route china china from beijing also hold a nuclear option with 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 to than who'd a thunk it 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. 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. a deadline for terror groups to pull out of a buffer zone around syria's last rebel held strongholds has expired there many

jihadist fighters have stayed put my colleague and your family discuss the situation with r.t. . 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 nusra front formally no. 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 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 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 turkey is doing its best to see the deal succeed if you do this 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 generation x. and muslim news that sparking outrage in israel that is after so loud spoken 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 harris for seducing a jewish soul with the goal of harming our country i do blame saqib the islamicize ing halevi bro stop being delusional what is by questions over whether israel should be condemning the us the distance choice of partner washington claims all middle eastern countries should be as democratic as the jewish state jacqueline figure 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 benjamin. 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 iran's aggression or 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. 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 a 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 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 and then there are 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 that speech by pompei of. an explosion as a railway station in germany is being treated as an act of terrorism according to investigators a man sets off a molotov cocktail inside a restaurant in cologne station before taking a woman hole stage on monday. he's

going to use it. to. cologne station was evacuated and all services were halted for more than two hours the whole stage was fried in a police operation and the suspect is now in custody a fourteen year old girl was injured in the explosion the attack is believed to be a syrian national and according to eyewitnesses he told onlookers that he belongs to islamic state political analysts right a lot of us told us germany is still struggling to cope with the security challenges caused by the my current crisis. incident shows that there's a cure to the situation has definitely deteriorated through the migration crises since twenty fifteen there is a certain degree of discontent of the population regarding the policies of.

the great coalition of which also this c s u the regional party is a part of the alternative for germany has criticised marcos policies a lot cases where they could show the failings of the government thanks for joining us on r.t. international we'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest. nor make the manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round be the one percent. we can

all middle of the room. good. morning. rick. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you loans to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you can afford to miss the one and only.

tracking gave americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down too much they lost their jobs got laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality to deal with. obama codified the worst honesty's of wall street in institutionalized a kleptocracy they've turned a blind eye to the excesses of the really the the rats on on on financed in

america who are still frank with them today and in a cell this is draining the swamp us fortunately i must say that it does mean that interest rates are going. going higher and this is for the first time in thirty two years the bond market bull rally we've had thirty years or longer this looks like it's coming and that is a fundamental shift change in the economy for the world and for the united states going forward so that will be the big story of the next twenty four my.
