for you. president says the u.s. is pulling out of the i.n.f. treaty with russia which requires both sides to eliminate medium range nuclear missiles. russia has violated the agreement they've been violated from many years we're not going to let them violate the nuclear agreement so we're going to terminate the agreement we're going to pull out. saudi arabia claims that missing journalist jamal khashoggi was killed in a fight inside its consulate in istanbul. and this is a deadly bombings targeting polling stations across afghanistan overshadowing the country's problem entry elections.

are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is the international i'm sean thomas and certainly glad to have you with us now the u.s. is pulling out of a nuclear missile pact with russia the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty requires both countries to eliminate their short and medium range atomic missiles president trump accused moscow of failing to uphold its side of the deal. russia has violated the agreement they've been violating here for many years and i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate or pull out. and 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've honored the agreement but russia has not one fortunately onto the agreement so we're going to terminate the

agreement we're going to pull last 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 the now the treaty essentially outlaws nuclear missiles between the range of one thousand kilometers and five thousand kilometers now repeatedly russia has been accused of violating the i.n.f. treaty we're not only hearing donald trump say that the usa will pull out of the i.n.f. treaty but we're also hearing that there is plans to begin production of missiles 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 unless 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 except 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 like look at what putin has said he says and united see. if our american partners ex the agreement 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 it's shifting the blame and putting the burden of proving you're in compliance with something rather than showing that you know it's united states proving that right. it is not in compliance or something or russia proving that the united states is noncompliance it's not just the substance of what they put forward it's also the style the substance can go ahead and show and demonstrate that one country or any other country is not in compliance but this style the way they say it should be aimed or geared at moving forward with negotiations and deescalating the situation rather than just rash you know rhetoric

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 from the may face opposition from within the state department and within his own cabinet drums decision to scrap the i.m.f. a nuclear arms treaty with russia has caused some public concern in the u.s. we asked people on the streets of new york for their reaction. that sounds like a terrible idea it sounds. crazy like crazy is and. i think disconnecting from the world is a really bad thing and it's one of many many bad things that are in the process of destroying our democracy in this country crazy simply crazy i really think that the global community as a whole. would be. losers of this and

this will be did a waste precious resource is this when we get an action reaction dynamic we both sides russia and united states embarking on developing new systems that they shelved and destroyed tens of dion f. three d. and that is very unfortunate. when turkey has pledged to reveal the full details of a journalist's death inside the saudi consulate in istanbul cross says jamal khashoggi was murdered in early october by saudi arabia claims he died in a fistfight or two jumping vulgar takes a closer look at the case and the global shock waves. 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 and 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 a prediction donald trump made days ago sounds to me like this is. and 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 go to retribution canceling 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 hundred ten billion dollars on what i don't think in this day create jobs like john . others for this is the take 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 doesn't we're talking about the terrible events in saudi arabia was

still nothing and not let it fly and where of course we demand to know what happened didn't do you good have a child you are today we are calling the whole world on duty we want justice for jim all we want your balls 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 slammed 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 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 then admission 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. crimea is grieving for the twenty victims of a bombing and a mass shooting at a technical college in the city of courage but amid the pain stories have emerged of heroic quick thinking actions which prevented more deaths. courage is a quiet place

a small seaside town kind of place where the neighborhoods everyone knows everyone it is one of the last places in the world where you would expect a school or college shooting or thought they did but some hatreds evidently buried too deep because i stalk a few it's so common music very common tragedy our town is really small everyone knows each other the blast and the following rampage with catastrophic injuries and killing dozens upon dozens. of people sparking panic and styria as teenagers and stuff fled for their lives. in that chaos here of which one may just it's just my friend's wedding scene was there he helped his friend corner who was injured in the blast he covered him to

shield him from the bullets they're both in hospital now has a shopping wound and winning team is paralyzed nobody knows whether he will be able to walk again but from the horrors of this massacre some good has emerged selflessness sacrifice courage and bravery teenagers barely older than children acted as few adults ever cool but about the good of course if you're going to they were first the is students when this happened these guys were thrown rocks and they were trying to distract him because behind his back there was a group of kids mostly girls trying to escape so the boys decided to drive burgers to to turn some to help the girls these four boys are dead now that you're. sitting. girl i knew him on the wounded i tried to save her i carried her to the ambulance to me i left her there and went to help the others i saw a lot of people leaving land on benches it was awful. i'm not. a

musician i'm struck i saw a guy being attacked i try to help him but it was too late then i saw my friend something was wrong with his legs he couldn't walk so i dragged him all the way to the pines. the mushy it is now you will never know every accept heroism and kindness that took place last now in the confusion the adrenaline the modesty and in death but it wasn't just the students it was also bystanders volunteers and good samaritans. said i work nearby when i heard what happened i came here to help anyone i could see there were people without limbs just lying on the street everyone tried to help more just to get more of. when the wounded began to overwhelm local clinics the medical students jumped in to help.

them but when it happened we were at our medical college we were in class when a teacher stormed in and said they need people to help with the injured so we 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 un put that is 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 blitz he threw a card to us but even stalled. confusion the panic fear that with those set aside self-preservation in order to help others risking life and limb. once again even in acts of overwhelming evil

there is space for good. series of bombings have killed at least twenty eight people at polling stations across afghanistan marring the country's problem entry election local journalist tom phasey has details in. it was quite tense day for afghan security because of provinces. they were highly attacked and there have been. one thousand eight hundred security threats many of them have been prevented by afghan security forces two hundred and ninety two attacks carried out by militants across the country that killed dozens of people including civilians and police forces also afghan national

the process that is according to the taleban is an american or a western process we still have to wait and see what will happen next because the election process has been extended by the independent election commission for the next day which is tomorrow people were hopeful. and they had a very big turnout early in the morning became an hour before the election started but later after a couple of hours when there was a delay there were several technically shows and the presents off the. election. stuff were not visible in the many hours in many polling stations that's why. you know during the large time we witnessed that many people actually went home. more news after
