6:01 pm
it's one o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all t. international live from last year with me in a day or two to a very warm welcome to the program and we start the program with breaking news the u.s. is pulling out of a nuclear missile pact with russia the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty has been in place for more than thirty years president trump accused moscow of violating the deal russia as violated the agreement they'd been violating here for many years that i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate for full out. we're not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we're not allowed to we're the ones that have stayed in the agreement and we bonded but russia is not unfortunately under the agreement so we're going to terminate the agreement we're going to pull out unless russia comes to us or china comes to us and they won't go . do is when they say let's really get smart and let's none of us develop those
6:02 pm
weapons but if russia is doing it and china is doing it and we're adhering to the agreement that's unacceptable so we have a tremendous amount of money to play with the raw military the treaty has been in force since one thousand nine hundred eighty seven under the pact russia and the us required to eliminate nuclear missiles with a range of one thousand to five thousand five hundred kilometers but the deal does not include sea launched missiles it was seen as a key milestone in ending the cold war. russia has repeatedly said it will keep observing the treaty as long as the u.s. does however russian president vladimir putin said last year that if washington were to renounce example occasions moscow would do the same. for american partners the agreement will give an immediate and reciprocal response we have complied with the agreement and we will continue to do so as long as our
6:03 pm
partners do the same. michael money from the pentagon security official thanks michael for coming on to the profound that. was an important step wasn't it in ending the cold war on this race and now often with. the u.s. is pulling out how significant is this. well i think it's significant in that for a number of reasons number one it has. it has film of the peace if you will and particularly between russia and the united states and europe. or for that length of time i think that there's a lot more all teary or motives attached to all this. if you listen to closely that has never been mentioned what the violations have been alleged violations have been by moscow number two there's only been one meeting between the united states and russia since last for for over
6:04 pm
a number of years in fact and never once has there been any talk of sitting down and discuss the alleged violations and trying to. recommit to both sides but number three there's something more significant to this the united states and trying to just raise that it is comments the united states would rather pull out because of china right now it cannot it does not it cannot develop new intermediate range missiles. to to confront china even though child is not a signatory to that agreement so this is this is added a whole new ball of wax that even though even though china it was not a signatory to that or to that agreement the united states feels that it's now at a disadvantage in the development of intermediate range missiles that would have one last kaviak to all this it was bold john bull is national security advisor
6:05 pm
really pushed trump. this season and and bolton has been in the forefront. getting the united states to act. unilaterally not only in this in this case but also with dropping out of the the iranian nuclear agreement and putting troops into syria toward the idea of regime change the bulls a very dangerous fellow and trump is not really in charge of his own foreign policy i mean if we look at the finger pointing that's going on michael china saying russia's been violating the treaty on moscow has repeatedly accused the us a failing to meet its obligations. but do we know who is really to blame and like you mentioned before we don't know what those violations all meant to be deadly no and yes they were really serious about trying to correct the problem if in fact there was one they would have sat down and talked but it's both does not want to deal
6:06 pm
with russia even though he's going to be going to moscow i believe next week and he's going to inform the foreign minister lavrov that there is pulling out now is this is this a basis for them now to negotiate a better deal is struck with trump always calls for that's a possibility. but i think the overriding concern right now is china and because there is the china is not a signatory to that arrangement yes i mean we so without delay in in the claims of donald trump speaking talking about not new detail that he's mentioned as well. how likely is it that thought when you deal when seen being negotiated between between china between the us. well let's see what happens as a result of the meetings i don't think it's
6:07 pm
a six month notice so anything can happen there's going to be a meeting of trump with the g. twenty within the next month that might be an opportunity for them to sit down and seriously discuss this thing and put off in the. soup of this action that he just announced that he get and i think he's he's trying to leverage russia and we'll just see what happens and but there is six months it has to be as it is a six month notice and if he would be lays it down formally when he went in both and then lays it down formally when he goes to moscow that's when the clocks the dunes as you mentioned mike michael pulling out to teaching seems to be an ongoing theme for trump but i don't know yeah he feels it feels that they're just not operating from a position of strength that it's america first all the usual rhetoric that you're hearing and again china is the key on this and and bolton is that of the more of
6:08 pm
the mindset that we're at a disadvantage and he's convinced. trump the we need to do something and i might add that even defense secretary madison's expressed concerns about lives violations but again nobody knows what those violations are is that the person that the idea of developing a new cruise missile well the treaty doesn't prohibit that and the united states is developing new intermediate missiles and cruise missiles but again they can they can develop them they can research they just can't deploy ok we'll leave it there for now michael money from the pentagon security official thanks very much for coming on to the program. turkey has pledged to reveal the full details of a journalist death inside the saudi consulate in istanbul and cross says jamal
6:09 pm
khashoggi was murdered in early october but saudi arabia claims he died in a fistfight jacqueline dugard takes a closer look at the case and the global shock waves it's caused. for two weeks we were told to malkuth had left the saudi consulate unharmed only accusations and reports in turkey said otherwise but increased international pressure and around the clock media coverage and riyadh change its narrative on friday saudi officials confirmed in part what the world already knew the journalist died on october the second in the consulate but the kingdom and namely the crown prince are innocent in all of this riyadh says the death was accidental the result of a quarrel between cars and quote suspects that escalated to a fistfight now those suspects then apparently work to cover up the murder and dispose of the body eight hundred saudi nationals have been arrested including two high ranking members in the gulf states and of course the investigation continues now this version of events fits rather nicely with
6:10 pm
a prediction donald trump made days ago sounds to me like this is. the explanation that those responsible acted without riyadh's knowledge or approval seems good enough for trump it's a very very serious i do do i think it's a very important first step and it happened sooner than people thought it would happen his comments really shouldn't come as a surprise given the fact that trump has been extremely reluctant from the get go to squarely blame saudi arabia he also repeated a number of times that even if involvement was proven he wouldn't wish to sacrifice the billions of dollars worth of weapons sales to punish them saudi arabia has been a great ally but i would prefer that we don't you. can see the one hundred ten billion dollars worth of work they are ordering military equipment everybody in the world one of that order we got it and we got all of it every bit of it i don't like stopping massive amounts of money that's being poured into our country spending one
6:11 pm
hundred ten billion dollars on military what i don't think is that create jobs like jobs other. for this country as of yet no evidence has been released to support the saudis version of events and much of the world isn't buying the new narrative it's god it was we're talking about the terrible events in saudi arabia was still nothing but clarify and where of course we demand to know what happened to be a good habit to and today we are calling the whole world on duty we want justice for jim all we want to malls murderers to be punished however we want punishment not only for the eighteen men but also for the authority that gave the orders the middle eastern actor of campaigns at amnesty international slam the saudi story as untrustworthy all reporters without borders have called for constant and powerful pressure on riyadh to establish the truth and australia has now joined others and no longer attending an investment summit set for later this month in saudi arabia
6:12 pm
saying it wouldn't be appropriate given the circumstances even some u.s. lawmakers are making their skepticism of the report known in dissonance with the president stands now it's possible that without the massive international pressure campaign we've seen over the past two weeks the saudis would have stuck to their original story now riyadh it will be hoping that it's the mission will be enough to appease the world and we all move on not sending a representative to the conference in saudi arabia is one thing it's symbolic it sends a message but actually cutting off arms sales and actually imposing tough sanctions and cutting off regulations that takes it to a higher level and i don't think you're going to see that you know you'll see some sanctions against individuals from the united states but you're not going to see complete shutdown of relations with the saudis. a series of bombings have killed at least twenty eight people at polling stations across

rushed to the hospital we had no time to even put our lab coats on we started to take people out of the ambulances for emergency help people just kept on coming for several hours it's fair to say that when the killer struck the stuff the students were utterly unprepared it's also fair to say that no amount of readiness in the world would prepare any sort of school for an explosion that size in the cafeteria or mania blitzing through the car doors but even amidst all the confusion the panic the fear that with those. to help others. once again.
6:22 pm
syria is urging the u.n. to investigate u.s. led coalition airstrikes in the country that reportedly killed dozens of civilians two bombing raids of hit villages in the province in the first day syrian media say sixty two people were killed when state u.s. jets reportedly had an allied kurdish unit killing six five tips the u.s. military says it's investigating that particular incident. the director of a british think tank focusing on the syrian crisis believes though the u.s. is unlikely to change its tactics in syria. the day someone is taking decision someone is making the decision or giving the go ahead for an operation that is attacking a mosque in a village probably the only mosque in the village. the time prayers. what were they thinking obviously everybody knows that a lot of people pretty much civilians would be gathered in the mosque so i don't
6:23 pm
think this is a mistake. a year and a half ago almost a little bit more the american planes did pretty much the same thing in every school in northwestern syria and again the mosque was targeted you know repeating what happened a year and a half ago in genie probably the americans say sorry i'm steady we move on. back to our top story now the u.s. is pulling out of the i and nuclear missile pact with russia president accused moscow of violating the deal well for an update on this now we'll cross live to our correspondent. could you tell us more about this move from washington how russia views the i.n.f. treaty. well we're not only hearing donald trump say that the usa will hold out of the i.n.f. treaty but we're also hearing that there is plans to begin production of missiles
6:24 pm
that are not allowed now donald trump did say however if a new agreement can be reached they will scrap those plans for production let's review his additional comments. les russia comes to us and china comes to us and they all come to us and they say let's really get smart and let's none of us develop those weapons but if russia is doing it and of china's doing it and we're adhering to the agreement that some excepted so we have a tremendous amount of money to play with the raw military seven hundred plus seven hundred sixty billion. now this refers to the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty this was signed in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven and it was viewed as a key moment in deescalating essentially ending the cold war and now the treaty essentially outlaws any nuclear missiles between the range of one thousand
6:25 pm
kilometers and five thousand kilometers now repeatedly russia has been accused of violating the i.n.f. treaty now we have heard a response of russia's president vladimir putin says that if the usa does indeed withdraw from the treaty and begin production there would be a mirror like response from russia let's leave look at what putin has said he says and united see what is real and if our american partners x. the agreement we will give an immediate and reciprocal response we've complied with the agreement and we will continue to do so as long as opponents do the same. now if indeed the united states scraps the treaty this will be a dramatic shift a break from what has been standard operating procedure in washington regarding its agreements with russia and trump may face opposition from within the state department and within his own cabinet. ok r.t. correspondent. reporting from new york thank you.
