i'm not going to let them violate the nuclear agreement so we're going to terminate the agreement we're going to pull out president trump threatens to pull out of a nuclear missile treaty with russia accusing it of violating the moscow this weekend says should washington withdraw it would be a major blow to global security. news of the week grieving friends and relatives have said the final goodbyes to the twenty victims of the college bomb attack in crimea one of the worst such massacres in russia's history. so the raid on admits this weekend that. died in
9:01 am
a fight inside its consciousness after almost three weeks of denying any involvement. either sunday afternoon from moscow the next thirty minutes welcome to the weekly with me kevin though in our seven days roundup of the big stories we covered for you starting with one from today actually first russia says the united states is taking a dangerous step after president trump announced the u.s. was going to ditch a decade's old nuclear pact requiring both countries to eliminate the short to medium range atomic missiles such moves could lead to retaliate through measures. we condemn the attempts to get concessions from moscow by using blackmail especially over an issue that has value for both international and nuclear security as well as for maintaining world stability united states move will be discussed here moscow monday when u.s. national security advisor john bolton meets russian foreign minister sergei lavrov
9:02 am
must be noted both vocal critic of the treaty assad with just a bit earlier talking about what america's withdrawal could mean for the world mr bolton isn't the only critic of the deal america's doing it right and russia is not living up to the end of the bargain and that's how president donald trump mr bolton's boss explained why he's saying no to the so-called i.n.f. treaty russia has violated the agreement they've been violating it for many years that i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate or pull out. we're not going to let them violate the nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we're not allowed to wear that one set of state in the agreement and we wanted to agreement but russia is not unfortunately on to the agreement so we're going to terminate the agreement we're going to pull out although donald trump didn't specify what exactly russia was violating but in the previous years washington blamed russia for
9:03 am
deploying what they called an illegal type of cruise missile and then general their attempts to upgrade its nuclear arsenal now going back to the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty it was signed some thirty years ago and kevin that was the end of the cold war so that's why this particular agreement is closely associated with the relief everyone around the planet had when these things were happening and it pretty much outlawed nuclear and conventional missiles with ranges between five hundred kilometers and five thousand five hundred kilometers now this is why how much it's vital. for the international community cannot be underestimated so it would seem to be a must have thirty years ago was changed today should the will be worried now this thing looks like is being scrapped kevin the concern is obvious a potential new round the arms race if you don't think that serious enough donald
9:04 am
trump was already hinting that he's ready to kick start the production of such missiles something else that you might be worried about is the language that both sides have been using when talking about this the arms race is getting out of control. we did not initiate this turn of events as you know it was not we just pulled out of the antiballistic missile treaty russia has developed and developing a stabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade in direct violation of its treaty obligations and what we've got to be sure we respond to the threats that confronted us we're moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure that our capabilities were mean and we will never allow anybody to do anything even close to what we have. it for american in the next. we will give an immediate and reciprocal response. well donald trump isn't really
9:05 am
a stranger to saying no to these kind of international agreements you can remember the one climate change the iran nuclear deal but it's been widely thought that the reason donald trump is doing this in many cases this is just his own agenda or simply because these kind of arrangements were made by his predecessors so let's take a look at some of the comments donald trump made before about other deals we've rounded the agreement but russia has not unfortunately did the agreement so we're going to terminate everybody we're going to pull out i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal the transpacific partnership. from the paris. climate accord with the withdraw withdraw i am fighting every day for the great people of this country so as you were saying come into moscow tonight but all these important discussions
9:06 am
with the senior russian officials are happening on monday. yeah the u.k. says right now it's backing trumps decision to withdraw with the defense secretary of the williamson claiming that russia is in breach of the treaty nato is also echoed those accusations as well and said that in the end it's russia that's responsible for the dismantling of this accord let's get the thoughts of mark ullman's right of the crisis in oxford there i suppose you could have seen this coming maybe maybe not you think trucks decision right now though is appropriate. with it's going to really increase tensions and not just with russia because in a way trump and john bolton belong to that camp in the united states that don't believe in strategic parity that reagan and gorbachev agreed more or less that the successors did that the new washington and moscow should have roughly equal abilities and instead trump and particular want the united states to have
9:07 am
a clear superiority over all comers that includes not just russia but china and other countries around the world and i think this is where the capacity to door trying to win in domestic politics by polarizing opinion and finding that he gets the necessary votes on his side in american politics may not work in international relations in the wider world even amongst america's friends with the possible exception of the british defense secretary was quite a little alarm that this cornerstone of peace and stability in europe since the cold war period you could be pulled away because of tensions over supreme russia in the worst and if you then feed the term a logical race the risk that something could go wrong get out of control it's a move in berlin paris and so on people were. about did this all need reevaluating anyway and this agreement is thirty years old times have moved on technology has moved on is it going to lead us there were an arms race or has the world changed a bit. well so that we could say for instance when the kremlin agreed to this
9:08 am
with gorbachev the soviet union as it then was didn't have cruise missiles and the americans did things have now changed also the strategic balance has changed back in ninety seven the red army was in east germany today nato has forces in estonia only in a few minutes flying time from st petersburg not so far from moscow so distressed position of russia has changed and so there's an incentive in some ways for russia to seek a change in the cold war arms control treaties more broadly of course there is a whole rise of china of india and other countries and i think in a way the americans have a case for saying let's negotiate a new global treaty about these kinds of weapons but just pulling out of the treaty of saying america can do the forward to win an arms race is i think perhaps rather naive it's it may seem to be tough and putting america first from six years old in fact sparked the kind of tensions yet we're looking ahead maybe there could be something on earth doesn't come out on top there could be something on the horizon
9:09 am
a trump suggesting maybe a new kind of agreement but already russia is condemning what it sees is this is an attempt to blackmail russia to some sort of agreement is there some new agreement on the cards maybe they're going to reveal the next couple of days. well it's possible john bolton is coming with a man with a olive branch though unlikely i think the more sensible strategy for washington would have been to say we are happy with this treaty we have the renewal of the more general nuclear arms control treaties in two thousand and twenty one can we not with moscow with beijing and other countries negotiate a global agreement that will calm future tensions and port. observable verifier. all controls on a whole range of weapons that perhaps didn't exist in one nine hundred eighty seven . now or in the hands of countries that didn't possess them back there. what about the u.k. and nato here's what are they ever going to states as not being here. well i think
9:10 am
probably if we think back to the one nine hundred eighty s. when we had this crisis over soviet and american crews and persian missiles in western europe and assess twenty's in eastern europe there were huge political tensions in western europe and maybe that mrs thatcher carried off this crisis and was able to work with the reagan to get the american people see through but in countries like germany and italy and so on little severe tensions for the government and i'm not sure that these necessarily are tensions that people want to revive and so i think that the great problem is that by scrapping agreements unilaterally obviously trump to some extent alienates his friends as well as his rivals when john bolton arrives here in moscow later today and think of him some heated conversations between there and the foreign office in russia tomorrow we'll be covering and we will work to flies on the wall yet mark ullman director of crisis research and see not what makes your input today anywhere but we can. let people new york what they thought about donald trump's decision to scrap the zion f. nuclear arms treaty with russia. it sounds like
9:11 am
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. it was a huge story in the way it was never a russian tragedy in that we just go on wednesday brought horror to crimea in southern russia twenty were killed dozens more injured after a student at a college set off an explosive device indiscriminately opened fire on a senior correspondent lourdes as he has more on how the atrocity unfolded. is a quiet place the small seaside town kind of place where the neighborhoods everyone
9:12 am
knows everyone it is one of the last places in the world where you would expect a school college shooting. dressed in black and carrying a bag of ammo ladislav to call for the suspected shooter the gun to his plan for mass murder into reality. but. first he detonated an improvised explosive device both in the only. people. to be able to use the community as a deception so close. the loop on the sit down one. on the beach. yeah put us to bali. the ball fields as it was with the full shrapnel was set and treated in the cafeteria. on the for us through exactly at lunchtime
9:13 am
when it would be packed with faculty and students to look under the host give some major play mostly if i might use. the functional but often the much of my. b.s. but most of that shit to me if. soon enough become a sub in the rule of the moment you don't own it doesn't seem. as panic and confusion took hold the gunman began his killing spree. he started on the second floor making his way downstairs to the devastated cafeteria killing anyone he met they tried to run to hide they did desperate things find you couple only should he decide. to get a fiddle and. instructions in that
9:14 am
scales. when they. get up as i say that they gave to bed the night she was about city will come young a bust as i was pinoy a. druggie nature. but emotions to the new and your favorite that if she lived was i going to sit down. on the to go sister but you know which gives me what you got the it's not easy. to own but selflessness sacrifice courage and bravery teenagers barely older than children acted as few adults and mccool. few. more shots more victims the father will do send the bill but. most of them teenagers love a visual mumble of the most numbskull of social issues that should be on the. move . would you like to know by. his. peached lost the just fifty
9:15 am
minutes before he killed himself in the library on the second floor fifteen minutes his victims are in the hundreds every child left dead a family was torn. and every teaching killed generations of graduates. their friends teaches the business and countryman. spitting question to the most news is this because i'm mr business with. the new and new. to the mission. of the dutch. so you want to take mr mifflin to. the internet. and show me.
9:16 am
the notion of. the things we've done which you push on. on can only pummel the what's the style good it is for mr o. so i'm going to do. is also fair to say the amount of readiness in the world would pay any sort of school for an explosion that size in the cafeteria. maniac. through the court rules even amidst all the confusion panic the fear that with those set aside self-preservation in order to help others risking life and leave moving once again even in acts of overwhelming evil there is space for good. just ahead stunnel trump again change of position how he views what the saudis have to say about the death of distant journalist will tell you more after the break.
9:17 am
9:18 am
saudi arabia's explanation over the death of the journalist who disappeared from its consulate in istanbul earlier this month as love donald trump unsatisfied as it contradicts previous statements and claims jacqueline next traces back over how jamal khashoggi to sapir and says played out of. thank. you. for two weeks we were told her mom had left the saudi consulate unharmed only
9:19 am
accusations and reports in turkey said otherwise but increased international pressure and around the clock media coverage and riyadh changed 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 rove. and the explanation that those responsible acted without riyadh's knowledge or approval seems good enough for term it's a very very serious they do do i think it's
9:20 am
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 hundred ten billion dollars on military what i don't think in this day create jobs like jobs others. for this country you heard the radio that some of these team
9:21 am
will be punished if you fifteen people eighteen people will be punished by these saudi arabi i had made just to say but i'm sure the president would just plowed through the skies though for punishment and discount of justice in the stand that the president except see it and that's the power of an one hundred ten billion dollars one hundred ten billion dollars can buy any truce kinsale any lie 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 still nothing in the nine eleven fight and where of course we demanded to know what happened. the emerging circumstances of his death a deeply troubling that for the european union like its partners insists on the need for continued thora credible and transparent investigation shutting proper clarity on the circumstance of the killing and ensuring full accountability of all
9:22 am
those responsible for it the middle eastern actor of campaigns at amnesty international flam 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 it will be hoping that it's an 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
9:23 am
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. there's anger in the u.k. this week after a radical muslim cleric accused of inspiring terror attacks was let out of prison early honest in-situ. anjem choudary was reportedly taken to this probation house in london the notorious radical preacher was released out of jail having served just half of his five and a half years sentence following being sent to jail back in twenty sixteen for encouraging people to join isis now the british prime minister to resign me has said the authorities are well prepared. and for this development on the question of anjem choudary obviously facing extremist picture he pledged his allegiance to di ash he was convicted of infighting support for them and that if and when any terrorist offender is released well rehearsed plans are put in place to keep the
9:24 am
public safe and the police they presume the probation service and other agencies have a range of powers available to them the fifty one year old father of five who once led an extremist group that was bound under terrorist laws in the u.k. is going to be serving the rest of his time within the community on license he's going to be monitored by the m i five the police as well as other agencies now he's not exactly free and is going to be staying at the probation house under several conditions those include not being able to preach or attend certain mosques he will only be able to communicate with people that authorities have allowed him to communicate with he will have one telephone his internet use will be supervised as well as his travels. he will not be able to leave the u.k. now the place where he's reportedly now going to be staying is on the same street as the school and we've been gauging some opinions from locals about this here
9:25 am
whether he says it the other end of the country are drug ridden. is about influence he's not he's evil he's negative he's maligned there's nothing nice to. play if you go to a country where jihadism is more accepted but not here the wrong place for him if you can certainly the studio in this country the reported cost of the security operation to have him be out of jail is said to be at a whopping two million pounds a year compared to the fifteen thousand pounds a year it would have cost to keep him in jail reaction to this was also very swift to follow it's crazy to put the public in danger and spend two million pounds a year monitoring extremist choudhry we could be following australia's lead to keep him. top the extensive list of constraints on an jim charter is welcome that said the fact that he is being released at all and that's imposing these constraints will cost the taxpayer two million pounds per annum is a bore and those argue mother wise are almost as dangerous as here's the release of
9:26 am
anjem choudary who claims some of our citizens are foreigners in their own home is a threat to our security is betraying all of us and we need to defend all communities in our nation we need a new treason act indeed this could be seen as a concerning development chattery did not himself organize any terrorist attacks nonetheless he is seen as one of the most dangerous radicalized there is in the u.k. reporting from london and as they say churkin for r.t. i spoke to british media commentator neil wallace he thinks child was too dangerous to be released. if they believe he is this potentially dangerous if the reports are true that we've all read in the papers of people saying if anything he's got more radical even jailed since he's been inside why. are they releasing him if this was a mom who. was a rapist something which he fully approved of incident for isis and anybody who
9:27 am
wasn't one of their followers. but if this man was a rapist and he was saying in jail i'm going to write to soon as i get out would they allow him out this guy has inspired attack after attack after attack dreadful atrocities on the streets of britain and yet we're letting him out of jail and that's not a shot of some of the big stories we covered for you in the last week aired out international thanks for joining me kevin on this weekend for the catch up and always so much more. on these you know more of the. underwater. total.
