2:08 pm
talking just so you know but he just wanted. to stay out of the just. incidentally but that he put them in nigeria to know. this so i guess with the particular studies to. move down we have. to listen to the lyric and you will soon be instructional. you. should know nobody not a. musician can do this yeah you probably am not winning in one more. videos emerge reportedly showing the attacker buying ammunition it was taken on saturday we went to the weapons store and spoke to the seller. should be able to look into this but normally the dog bites was not quote good to the busy store doing drugs is a buddhist
2:09 pm
a little who. knew was an equal but those in. the know just the problem you. need to do it really bothers you will you go. look at me i'm game you bro you can actually. hear you but i will pull a new political but when caught on purely be sure. wednesday's attack has been compared to another atrocity carried out almost twenty years ago. player.
2:10 pm
experts told us any response to the attack 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 daring to acquire the means to make reader mentary weapons such as these basic explosive devices these incidents particular perhaps with young people such people are susceptible to some degree c. 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 know all what we can respond to that i mean we don't want schools and colleges to become fortresses the places of warning if we were children and young people are exploring their lives developing their lives they shouldn't be fortresses are just you know jails in that sense but
2:11 pm
also i think we need to look at the culture i mean it's very early to draw any conclusions of powers but the powers of columbine are obvious as a young man who carried 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 putin has spoken about the tragedy at the closing session of the valdai discussion club. is a shift to those tragedies the result of globalisation 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
2:12 pm
for children and they grab this story gets heroism and this results in such tragedies. i think is dan of reports now on the other topics putin touched upon during that session. 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 warning that russia is about to decimate the place to carry out a bloodbath they're killing civilians and with all the scaremongering russia release portrayed now as the biggest and baddest wolf. ever could be for example
2:13 pm
like with all the meddling and everything and of course the biggest concern here is russia's nuclear potential so for all those who portrayed russia as an aggressive lattimer putin had a response and actually can see says 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 russia. 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 elections and meddling in other countries affairs and glamor putin was asked how he feels about that whether he feels he's weighed by that in any way here's what he had to say. should
2:14 pm
be used you know there's an old joke the question is how do you relax the answer is i just don't get nervous the same for tensions in international relations we don't create problems for anyone we'll the ones being accused with the phrase highly likely they say we meddle here we meddle there and no one is ready to show any evidence for me it is just the result of political struggle in the west. by the way of lattimer putin also mentioned t. 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 a couple of weeks ago and is believed to be murdered on the orders of saudi arabia state level of a putin said that russia is not going to do anything about its relations deal with the kingdom in fact he said that the most school is going to maintain
2:15 pm
a good relation unless it is proven that saudi arabia indeed had something to do with the order of the killing basically vladimir putin saying that it is wrong to take down the road that many western countries took when it came to this compound poisoning case when there was no evidence shown of russia's involvement in it but action ensued anyway. the u.s. is refusing to publicly put pressure on saudi arabia over its alleged role in the disappearance of a journalist in turkey secretary of state mike pompei i wouldn't be drawn on the existence of a recording supposedly handed over by ankara to the united states of jamal khashoggi suspected murder and dismemberment in the saudi consulate in istanbul and it puts washington in a tricky situation between two allies turkey privately accusing riyadh of killing the dissident saudi reporter two weeks ago.
2:16 pm
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 them court. relationships and then true 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 the country. as a few. old. so we can
2:17 pm
say to. you. now pales 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 us 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 with stopping over everyone a big step for we took away that ridiculous deal that was made by the previous administration and they are and now i have other very good allies in the middle east but if you look at saudi arabia they're an ally of tremendous purchaser donald trump's comments come as there is a huge amount of pressure mounting on the administration in response to outrage about the case shoji president trump is criticizing the condemnation of saudi arabia over the case of missing journalist jamal khashoggi residence stunning
2:18 pm
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 and he wanted to a building a never came out of the building what are we talking about in the building was so r.t. if 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 illness death and the decisions they make about accountability connected to that so the world just needs to sit back and have faith in the kingdom of saudi arabia. the saudi government has denied any involvement in the alleged killing and the latest development the u.s. treasury secretary has tweeted he no won't attend an investment conference in saudi
2:19 pm
arabia shadow for later this month let's go come to john white told us the way washington deals with the incidents part of a wider geopolitical game the sooty government enjoys an unassailable position of influence when it comes to washington and london and other western now i should go out and so dearly be achieved by their weapons that they sell them by the billion dollars worth on a regular basis is washington is weighted itself to the sodas as part of its 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 everything to do with geopolitics and the unfortunate events are to please their souls but it a few months ago have been used as a pretext to carry out further attacks on russia which has been designated the enemy of the movement in western capitals so this is less to do with truth than justice and everything to do with geopolitics and the drive for
2:20 pm
a charity which drives the foreign policy of western capitals. and as well as dumping use of the dollar in its international trade the move is in retaliation for severe u.s. financial sanctions imposed on the country's officials including the president of caracas is far from alone in moving away from dependence is daniel bushell reports . no muss the learned of the world's top all reserves and else is no more buying all thoroughly in greenbacks. let us be free we will not be anyone's colony again the latest in a now apparently nonstop barrel large of hits to the pin yards of the dollar system the impregnable tender since world war two and guess whose currency correctors these ousting it for. after 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.
2:21 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 world. russia's backing brussels for them a pittance already talking dollar trade with major allies adding washington's just shot itself in the foot americans get but we're not american partners are making a colossal strategic mistake undermining the credibility of the dollar is universal and essentially the only reserve currency undermining trust in it they can sing the branch they're sitting on this is the typical mistake of any empire when people think that nothing will happen but they believe that everything is so powerful so strong so stable that there will be no negative consequences but you know sure they will come sooner or later but the hardest wallop of all may be from america's
2:22 pm
biggest rival china. beijing shop window now plans an ample dollar free range from old trade in petro you won the online 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 an. konami warum one tenth of the world and one in four people on this planet now live on the government's committed to drone dollar dominance mainstream economists pooh pooh any future without a glorious greenback ensuring any smash will only be more shocking. remarks by the outgoing u.s. ambassador to the united nations during a secret meeting of conservatives have been leaked the key haley claims that she was initially offered the post of secretary of state by president but turned down as she didn't feel qualified and she felt much the same about her position at the
2:23 pm
un i thought the job should go to someone who didn't have the same learning curve i don't draw and honestly i don't even know what the un does. in the caylee recently caught everyone by surprise when she announced she was quitting her prestigious post will step down in january we've been taking a look at her time in the us. the united. against all enemies foreign and domestic next all that and. i will not shut down 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
2:24 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
2:25 pm
special. senior editor of the real news was also at the meeting and he gave us his view on his remarks. she 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 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's a journalist there i think her comments should be taken very seriously and received as her most canned some of her most candid remarks to date. donald trump obviously was not basing his decision to ask nikki haley to be u.n. ambassador on her experience but more on her profile he wanted to diversify his
2:26 pm
cabinet have an up and coming female republican who was a minority she's of indian descent probably people within the pro israel lobby who are pushing trump's transition team to appoint her so that they could make sure that the u.s. would represent israel's interests at the u.n. and that's exactly what happened. nikki haley during the meeting with the council for national policy boasted of how tough the trumpet ministration was on russia she boasted that the trumpet ministration had expelled over one hundred diplomats that the trumpet ministration had imposed harsh sanctions that it wrecked russia's economy and she boasted of arms sales to the ukrainian military and she said the obama administration can't even hold a candle to us on russia and this earned her lots of applause. a
