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

blame the lack of voter confidence for the election upset talks on forming a parliamentary coalition in bavaria are already underway but to ask on issues that the 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 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 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 the varian politics for the last six decades coming away without salute majority's and 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 independents 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 tentative to germany party made their debut in the region of elections of they've said they're ready to be in opposition force and 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 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 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. 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. their departure from mongol america's assessment of the elections there

munich may lashed out at all the bitter low says adding that faith in germany's coalition parties has been averted. 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 i 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're 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 destroying from faith in the party today we felt that ourselves. so question

investigators are searching riyadh consulate in istanbul where saudi dissident journalist jamal khashoggi 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 that reporter i did that he's sending the secretary of state to meet him on that he also speculated killers might be behind the disappearance he certainly says no knowledge of it. really know. i don't want to get it. sounds to me like this is a road. we're going to try to get to the bottom of a very serious what is is a lot. jamal khashoggi was last seen answering the sunday clones listen istanbul on october the second no one's heard from him since so his not officially accused riyadh of being involved but some reports claim its intelligence service is hard

evidence the journalist was tortured and killed saudi arabia has since strongly denies the accusations and has offered to help investigate well the case has sent just as through the financial wealth with saudi stocks plunging but the u.s. is king to maintain its multibillion economic deals with saudi arabia signs last year we saw at 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. the. i believe it's the largest border ever made its four hundred fifty thousand jobs is 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 we spoke to saudi analysts are committed ali but i have 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 would be put on saudi arabia if nobody wants to sell us weapons marketed 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 which are very real 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 any more about jamal it's basically people are they can prevent. acquittal has agreed to partially restore internet access for wiki leaks founder julian assange he's been inside the country's embassy in london for every six years but he's been given some strict guidelines on how to behave online is the ali has the details. sources 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 adhere to by mr science as part of his stay inside the ecuadorian embassy they cover various aspects of his day to day life including how his visits 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 for hits it 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 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 at it he was replaced by the icelandic investigative journalist kristinn hrafnsson and we could examine the time put out a statement saying that it was down to the extraordinary circumstances that mr sanchez has 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. so to consciously showing no sign of backing down in a trade to speed to get the u.s. story and all still to come. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something want to. have to go right to the press this is what the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the wives in the. first city. who cannot operate as united nations this is not just one rob but you 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 without pragmatic cooperation with the local authorities which are hamas in this case hero or has been for most of the last few years. welcome back now the chinese ambassador to the u.s. says that the beijing has no choice but to defend itself from a trade war it doesn't want and was started by washington. it's important to notice who started this trade war we never want to have

a trade war but if somebody has ties or trade the war against us we have to respond and defend our own interests their marks come amid heightened tensions over months of billions worth of tit for tat tariffs between the world's two largest economies one of the reasons for the trade war is trump's anger with china's trade surplus with the u.s. but despite all the punitive measures america's trade deficit with beijing has zero facts reached a new record daniel bushell takes up the story the supremum of arts of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting sons to 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 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 work 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 which china china china sees route china talking about china for bridging also hold a nuclear option with 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 than 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 start hiring 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 hit 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 stronghold has expired but many to holidays fighters have stayed put my colleague andrew farmer discussed the situation with r.t. as it was 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 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 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 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 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 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 to 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 sparking outrage in israel as 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 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 despite questions over whether israel should be condemning their city and his choice of partner washington claims all middle eastern country should be as democratic as the jewish state parties jacqueline 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 of the ball 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. 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 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 netanyahu and trump have found a brotherhood in their policies towards the palestinians and towards the southeast and towards iran they've they've really aligning themselves very closely and that's what you are hearing at the jinsa speech by pump a zero. an explosion at a railway station in germany is being treated as a possible act of terrorism according to investigators a man set off a molotov cocktail inside a restaurant in cologne station before taking

a woman hostage on monday. i. was. i. was it. was limited cologne station was evacuated and all services were whole said for more than two hours the hostage was freed in a police operation and the suspect is now in custody a fourteen year old girl was injured in the explosion the attacker is believed to be a syrian national and according to eyewitnesses he told onlookers that he belongs to islamic state political analysts rain a lot of us told is germany is still struggling to cope with the security challenges caused by the migrant crisis. new incident shows that the curates the situation has definitely deteriorated through the migration crisis is since

twenty fifteen there is a certain degree of discontent of the population regarding the policies of. the great coalition of which also they see as you are the regional bavarian party is a part of if the great coalition parties stick together and don't break their coalition until the end is election period then the policy will most likely not be dramatically changed in the coming two two and a half years thanks for joining us on r.t. international this hour we'll be back with the latest about that a minute see them. so . i guess.

thank. god thank. you douglas. thanks. for. wrong one old boy just don't call. me old yet to shape out his name to educate and engage because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

you know world big part of the truth is lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the fast 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. pranking 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 girl in trucks so i chose to drive truck people who rushed to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like the gold rush is very very similar to
