president trump he 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 for many years we're not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement so we're going to terminate the agreement we're going to. moving on to saudi arabia they claim of that missing journalist. was killed in a fight inside its own consulate in istanbul. and a series of deadly bombings target polling stations across afghanistan

overshadowing the country's parliamentary election. by broadcasting live from our studios most of this is our to international and sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us now the u.s. is pulling out of a nuclear missile pact with russia 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 the nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we're not allowed to wear 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 out 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 the now the treaty essentially outlaws a 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 haul 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 the russian and the united states have repeatedly exchanged accusations regarding violations of the i.n.f. treaty let's review what's been said the arms race is getting out of control. we did not snip this time of events as you know so it was not we who pulled out of the antiballistic missile treaty russia has developed been developing destabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade in direct violation of its treaty obligations and we've got to be sure we're going to respond to the threats that confronted us. so we can you could we're moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure their capabilities were main matched we will never allow anybody to have anything even close to what we have to go with israel and if our american partners x. the agreement will give an immediate and reciprocal response it shifting the blame

and putting the burden of proving you're in compliance with something rather than showing that you know the united states proving that russia is not in compliance or something or russia proving that the united states is noncompliance way they say it should be aimed or geared at moving forward with negotiations and deescalating the situation rather than just rash of 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 france may face opposition from within the state department and within his own cabinet trumps a decision to scrap the i.n.f. 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. it sounds like a terrible idea it sounds. crazy like crazy as he 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 the waste of precious resources this will trigger an action reaction dynamic with both sides russia and united states embarking on developing new systems that they shelved and destroyed tens of die in after the and that is very unfortunate. turkey has pledged to reveal the full details of a journalist's death inside the saudi consulate in istanbul says jamal khashoggi that was murdered in early october but saudi arabia claims he died in a fistfight heard his joke with vodka takes

a closer look at the case and the global shock waves for two weeks we were told to have 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 and quote suspects that escalated to a fist fight 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 very i do i 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 are 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 military and what they and things that

create good jobs like jobs and others for this country you heard some of these team will be fifteen people eighteen people will be punished by these i had made just said but i'm sure the president would just pull out to the skies though for punishment and this kind of justice in the stand the president except see it and that's the power of an one hundred ten billion those one a ten billion dollars can buy any troops can say. as of yet no evidence has been released to support the saudi's 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 still nothing has been clarified and where of course we demand to know what happened to be a good idea chargeable 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 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 and 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 will be hoping that their mission will be enough to appease the world and we all moved 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 mass shooting at a technical college in the city of carriage 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 in 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 you 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 injury and killing dozens upon dozens. of people sparking panic and styria as teenagers and stuff fled for their lives. in that chaos heroes when they just just my friend meaning feen was there he helped his friend 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 when teenagers barely older than children acted as few adults ever cool but it got the better of course if you're going to they were first the is students when this happened these guys were thrown rocks a good sign 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 divert the suit is the time soon to help the girls these four boys are dead know what you're. saying. girl i knew him on the wounded i tried to save her i carried her to the ambulance i left her there and went to help the others i saw a lot of people bleeding land on benches it was awful. about. immutability mines 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 locks he couldn't walk so i dragged him all the way to

the ponce. 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. who 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 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 stalled. confusion the panic the 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.

banks guys are financial survival. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificial mortgage through don't get carried away that's cause a ripple. welcome to worlds apart situated between russia and china then the goal is to the world's most landlocked country and yet according to my guest today this isn't a strategic weakness but rather a competitive advantage how has one goal they managed to overcome its geographical

limitations and can infuse this experience to punch above its weight in the geopolitical dream of to discuss that i'm now joined by the. minister of foreign affairs minister is good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you for the petition now we are recording this interview on the sidelines of the valdai forum and many of the discussions here today are about hugh crane and how it's being sandwiched between russia and the west lots of conflict mongolia also finds itself within two great powers russia and china and yet from what i understand it is a source of development rather than discord how do you explain that well. we're developing the. ballast relationship with our neighbors and that's our priority. was russia china we have strategic partnership and really it is a trust. beast's confidence relationship the most important thing is really the fact that you give priority to this relationship you is your relationship

on your strengths of course we're different countries that means we have differences it doesn't mean that we do not have differences but it's very important to menage those differences and to capitalize on your strengths but from what i understand it took you sound time to arrive at that perspective because you said in one of the interviews that before mongolia used to view its landlocked status as an imitation what allows for that change of perspective and this new vision of being landlocked in having no access to the sea as something that you can actually gain from here you know two things again under do love the sea convention we have the right to access the sea and our neighbors due to a very good neighborly relationship which is of strategic nature we're having no problem with our access and that strength of international law we should be

also using forward which means it is you know in dealing with our two very big neighbors still we're also using their goodwill plus a traditional law as well that's what the executive board of. these two markets themselves are very big markets for example china is one of the prime you know export markets of mongolian commodity and russia is also a very big market but vets were buy more from russia than selling at that test we were outlining to in our discussions with our russian friends we're telling them almost with problems that we don't like this deficit in this has to be changed and i assume you tell them that not them now wait that for example the current administration.
