a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me the care and a good to have you with us this hour. voters in the german state of bavaria have inflicted a heavy blow on 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 for the anti migrant a.f.d. and to the parliament for the first time following a hard fought campaign. today is not an easy day for the c.s.u. we didn't get a good result it was. awesome

. chancellor merkel has blamed a lack of confidence for the election upset that those talks on forming a parliamentary coalition in bavaria are already underway but as the nation is that the explains a 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 and her party. in the politicians what's missing from this election and confidence is very important my lesson from the election in bavaria is that two chancellor have to do more to ensure 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.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 the 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 policy would prefer an alliance with the independence free voters let's take a listen to what he said it's certain that at first sight

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 day they'll tell it if the gemini 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 on 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 and a departure from angela merkel's assessment of the elections the munich man lashed out at all the bitter losses are doing 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'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 to strengthen faith in the party today we felt that ourselves it's. taken

investigators have been searching riyadh's consulate in istanbul west 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 the reporter trumpeted that he's sending the secretary of state to meet them on a he also speculated to killers might be behind the disappearance. king firmly denies any knowledge of it. you didn't really know maybe i don't want to get it 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 no one's heard from him since so he has not officially accused riyadh of being involved but some reports claim its intelligence services

have evidence the journalist was tortured and killed saudi arabia has since strongly denied the accusations and has offered to help investigate. but the case has sent just as they were the financial world with saudi stocks plunging but the us is keen to maintain its multi billion a 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 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 was spoke to saudi and the less documented al abraham who 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 advance probably if we get. for example weapons from russia it will be more advanced than the what is that actually is released by the congress which are very be 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 are they can prevent. acquittal has agreed to partially we're still internet access for wiki leaks founder julian assange he'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 if the army 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 adhere to 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 at it he was replaced by the icelandic investigative journalist kristinn hrafnsson and wiki leaks out the time put out a statement saying that it was down to the extraordinary circumstances that mr science 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. and chinese ambassador to the u.s. has said that 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 tried the war against us we have to respond and defend our own interests and the monks come in a time. tensions i have a 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 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 daniel bushell has the details. 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 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 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 g. 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 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. as outlined for terror groups to pull out of a buffer zone around syria's last rebel held strongholds has expired but many jihadist fighters have stayed put my colleague and you found that discuss the situation with our teeth because don. 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 front formerly 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 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 guarantor 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. 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 a muslim is sparking outrage in israel as are to 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 what despite 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 artistically in vica the details. 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 iran. not be rewarded for russians in 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 to introduce who we have been introduced to 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 allying themselves very closely and that's

what you are hearing at the jinsa speech by pump a zero. explosion at a railway station in germany is being treated as a possible act of terrorism according to investigators a man first off a molotov cocktail inside a restaurant in cologne station before taking the woman hostage on monday. was. her. was as it. was in cologne station was evacuated and all services were holton for more than two hours the hostage was freed in a police operation on the suspect is now in custody a fourteen year old girl was injured in the explosion there talca 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 us germany is still struggling to cope with the security challenges caused by the like one crisis. incident shows that curates 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 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. and good football fans are celebrating

a shock three two victory over spain in the u.a.e. for the nations league but the run up to the game in seville was overshadowed by fun violence with scenes of carnage and vandalism artie's 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 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. it may house one of the world's largest collections of antiquities from every corner of the globe but controversy has always surrounded just how some of the pieces ended up in the british museum critics say it's
