12:10 pm
and experts agree to say that the attack does echo the colombine matic affair and then the response though needs to be very carefully thought through. the fact is that in the days of the internet particularly it's relatively easy to discover the means and then indeed acquire the means to make rudimentary weapons such as these basic explosive devices these incidents particularly perhaps with young people such people are susceptible to some degree see carrying out or being inspired by previous instance to copycat attacks or copycat incidents or shocking event because we were there is something of a pattern developing and it is very difficult to gnaw what we can respond to that i

mean we don't want schools and colleges to become fortresses the places of learning as we were children and young people are exploring their lives developing their lives they shouldn't be fortresses or you know jails in that sense but also i think we need to look at the culture i mean it's very early to draw any conclusions of parallels but the powers of columbine are obvious as a young man carrying a terrible crime scenes but also ended his own life you know he didn't deserve that and really he needed our help before we got to this stage and i think we need to be looking at that as a society all of us. president vladimir putin has also spoken out on the russian school tragedy at the closing session of the valdai discussion club. some national socialist yesterday's tragedy is the result of globalization it may sound strange but we see that numerous communities have been created on social networks and the internet it all began from known tragic events in american schools mentally

unstable young people have created some fake heroes for themselves it means that all of us not only in russia all over the world are not reacting in the right way to changing conditions it means that we're not creating useful needed and interesting content for children and they grab this sorry gets heroisms and this results in such tragedies when he did speak about plenty of other topics today with more on that his ego he done. conversation covered all sorts of international topics the obvious one is syria the russian president has said that he's happy with what russia cheve did in that country saying that the primary goal of course was to stop the terror threat way before it reaches the home soil he also thanked turkey for helping russia broker peace to help avoid anything any any bloodshed in the syrian province of idlib the last stronghold that anti assad forces have in the country and well in fact just a couple of months ago politicians and journalists they were screaming bloody

murder really warnings that russia is about to decimate the place to carry out a bloodbath and they're killing civilians and with all the scaremongering russia release portrayed now is the biggest and baddest wolf. ever could be for example like with all the meddling and everything and of course the biggest concern here is was russia's nuclear potential so for all those who portrayed russia as an aggressive latin policeman had a response of nashik on sirius's there is no preemptive strike in a nuclear strike strategy only a counter strike we already we will use nuclear weapons only when we are sure that the aggressor is attacking version but us well russia is big and scary not only because of its weapons it will also hack your computers brainwash your nation and probably steal those pictures you have in that secret folder on your phone to basically of course that refers to all these stereo about russia hacking election

is meddling in other country's affairs and i was asked how do feels about that when he feel he's waived by that in any way here's what he had to say. just you know there's an old joke the question is how do you relax the answer is i just know you get nervous the thing for tensions in international relations we don't create problems for anyone we'll the ones being. cues with the phrase highly likely they say we meddle here we muddle there and no one is ready to show any evidence for me it is just the result of political struggle in the west europe by the way of lattimer putin also mentioned in this context will probably because it is viewed as russia's main meddling tools so to speak he said that he'd love to meet the newest channel in the r.t. family that being r.t. france given his if he's invited of course now also gave his opinion on the situation around the opposition's saudi journalist jamal khashoggi he disappeared

12:16 pm
washington in a tricky situation between two allies with turkey privately accusing riyadh of killing the dissident saudi reporter two weeks ago. i don't have anything to say about that well we know what they could have discussed they could have gotten to the bottom of whether or not jamal khashoggi was indeed killed tortured and then dismembered as the consul watched as reports seem to indicate however it seems that they focused rather on what seemed to be almost perfect about the u.s. saudi relationship we have lots of important relationships and then to relationships between us saudi companies government relationship things we work on together all across the world the efforts to reduce the risk to the united states of america from the world's largest state sponsor of terror ron those are elements of u.s. national policy that are for our in americans best interests. of the country.
12:17 pm
as a few. old ok. thank you. now my pompei as comments referred to saudi arabia as a purchaser of american goods primarily military hardware and he seemed to talk about saudi arabia as an ally against what he sees as the primary source of evil in the region iran now this is not so much different from what we heard from mike pompei i was boss of the u.s. president so i did arabia has been a very important ally of ours in the middle east and we are stopping the rain and trying to stop was stopping over everyone a big step for we took away that ridiculous deal that was made by the previous administration and they are an ally we have other very good allies in the middle east but if you look at saudi arabia they're an ally of tremendous purchaser donald
12:18 pm
trump's comments come as there is a huge amount of pressure mounting on the administration in response to outrage about the shoji incident president trump is. criticizing the condemnation of saudi arabia or the case of missing journalist jamal khashoggi residence stunning statement as three sources tell c.n.n. that a high ranking officer with the saudi intelligence agency oversaw the saudis are now claiming was an interrogation of us shook the he wanted into a building and never came out of the building what are we talking about in the building was saudi if because shogi is dead said republican senator marco rubio today the u.s. must respond or it risks its own standing the administration assures us that saudi arabia will get to the bottom of what actually took place eventually we're going to give them the space to complete their investigations of this incident when they issue their report or form our judgment about their next step and the decisions they make about accountability connected to that so the world just needs to sit
12:19 pm
back and have faith in the kingdom of saudi arabia kalam up in there well the saudi government has denied any involvement in the alleged killing and the latest development the u.s. treasury secretary though has tweeted that he won't attend an investment conference in saudi arabia szechuan for later this month political commentator john white told us that the way washington is dealing with the incident is part of a wider geo political gang. the sooty government enjoys on the syllable position of influence when it comes to washington and london and other western allies who go out and so duty be achieved by their weapons that they sell them by the billion dollars it works on a regular basis it will shift in his way to the south to the saudis as part of this axis of germany when it comes to for maintaining germany in the middle east and it has nothing to do with truth and justice is it thing to do the geopolitics and the
12:20 pm
unfortunate events to please their souls but it few months ago how being used as a p. text to carry out further attacks on russia which has been dead. you need to be the enemy of the moment in western capitals so this is less to do with truth than justice it's everything to do with geopolitics and the drive for a germany which drives the foreign policy of western capitals. they're watching our teams national still ahead feed a sad venezuela says it's not dropping the us dollar in international trade or tell me why just off. you know world's big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up 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 on the back and
12:21 pm
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. with lawmakers manufactured to send to the public well. when the ruling classes can protect themselves. with the famous merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick.
12:22 pm
over again my venezuela is dumping use of the dollar in his international trade the movie is in retaliation for the severe us financial sanctions imposed on the country's officials including the president but caracas is far from alone in moving away from dollar dependence is the new bush explain. norm us the land of the world's top of oil reserves the now if there's no more boy all selling in greenbacks. let us be free we will not be anyone's colony again the latest in the now apparently nonstop hits to the pin yalit of the dollar system the impregnable tender since world war two and guess whose currency correct is. ousting it fought. off the trump threatened anyone dealing with iran brussels drops a bombshell on its old us chum in iran trade e.u. simply ditching the dollar e.u.
12:23 pm
member state will set up a legal entity to facilitate legitimate financial transactions with iran and this will allow european companies to continue to trade we had done in accordance with european union low and could be open to other partners in the works. russia's backing brussels for them a pittance already talking dollar trade with major allies i didn't washington's just shot itself in the foot. but american partners are making a colossal strategic mistake undermining the credibility of the dollar as a universal and essentially the only reserve currency of money trust anything that they can sing the branch they're sitting on this is a typical mistake of any empire when peter think that nothing will happen but they believe that everything is so powerful so strong so stable that there will be no negative consequences you know they will come sooner or later but the whole distance wallop of all maybe from america's biggest rival china.
12:24 pm
beijing shop window now plans an ample dollar free range from old trade in petro you one the only one crypto you won the new silk road colossus and beijing's own swift world banking network even u.s. media admit washington's now waging economic war on one tenth of the world and one in four people on this planet now live on the government's committed to drown dollar dominance mainstream economists pooh pooh any future without a glorious greenback ensuring any smash will only be more shocking. now. be outgoing u.s. ambassador to the u.n. during a secret meeting of conservatives have been leaked nikki haley claimed that she was initially offered the post of secretary of state by president trump but turned it down because she didn't feel qualified and she felt much the same about her
12:25 pm
position to the u.n. i thought the job should go to someone who didn't have the same learning curve i thought drum honestly i don't even know what the u.n. does. recently called everybody by surprise to you when she announced that she was quitting her prestigious post and will step down in january we've been taking a look too at a time at the u.n. . against all enemies foreign and against all enemies. i will not shut rather i will respectfully speak some hard truths. the dictator of north korea made a choice yesterday that brings the world closer to war the assad regime and its enablers russia and iran have a playbook for this war it's
12:26 pm
a playbook of death. it's one more example of be united nations doing more harm than good the european union has this so wrong and it's all because of their ego and their pride. what we witnessed here today in the security council is an insult to the united states is a lot and loaded and if war comes make no mistake the north korean regime will be utterly destroyed. america will put our embassy in jerusalem that is what the american people want us to do and it is the right thing to do. now the united states is respected countries may not like what we do but they were
12:27 pm
special. ok well let's cross live now to the journalist who broke the story about his comments about not feeling fit to take the job of six month old he actually got a ticket see to that conservative conference he did well there max just tell us what was the reaction in the room when she was making those comments for. saying i think more suggesting she was to be deemed to take the job of sexy state and secondly she said she didn't know what the un did people think she was just having a lawful with a show that. while i was probably the only person in the room who was shocked i was there with three hundred of the top activists of the american christian right people who make who make or break republican presidential nominees and that's probably why nikki haley was there to seek their annoying thing she
12:28 pm
revealed that her learning curve was too steep to be secretary of state something we all knew because she had just been governor of south carolina before and had foreign policy experience limited to having lunch at the international house of pancakes then she said that she was offered us u.s. ambassador to the u.n. and she said i don't even know what the u.n. does people laughed at this in the audience because they saw her as making light of the u.n. and mocking it the christian right in the u.s. and republicans in general tend to view the u.n. with complete contempt and one member of this secret group the council for national policy is tim la haye who has written a series of books fantasizing about the end times in the return of the messiah in which the anti christ is the secretary general of the u.n. so there is a lot of hatred for the u.n. in the room and a lot of admiration for nikki haley do you think max we should take the comments that you had to see recently it sounds like he could have been playing to the crime
12:29 pm
. you know maybe she was playing to the crowd but i think you know in a setting like that where she thinks that there is no media present doesn't know that there is a journalist there i think her comments should be taken very seriously and received as her most canned some of her most candid remarks today. and in addition they kind of matched up with her attitude on the security council sure. trying to come to her defense him max she said that she was pretending that she was unpredictable often at the u.n. to try and get people old fellow u.n. members on board to sanctions against north korea. she issued operator. she certainly was trying to purse portray herself as shrewd and following in the footsteps of henry kissinger she revealed at this meeting that she meets with henry kissinger every two months and saw him as kind of
12:30 pm
a mentor helping her learn on the job and then she proceeded to imply that she was embracing a version of his and richard nixon's madman theory where the president is portrayed to america's adversaries as a madman an unpredictable psychopath who could do anything she said when she was trying to force the hand of russia and china to get their sanctions as permanent members of the security council against north korea she told russia either you're with us or you're with the north koreans and that she told the chinese ambassador that she doesn't know what her boss donald trump could do he's kind of unpredictable there could be a military invasion and she sort of claim credit for china and russia's abstention on that vote based on her application of the madman theory i don't know if that's true but that was the boast that she made at this secret meeting ok. we're going to have to go. and senior editor.
