not 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 pact moscow says and should washington withdraw it would be a major blow to global security. some of the stories that shaped the week from us to grieving friends and relatives who said their final goodbyes to those twenty victims of that college shooting and bomb attack in crimea in the week just gone one of the worst such masochism brushes. and saudi arabia finally admits that
10:01 am
missing journalist jamal khashoggi died in a fight that says inside its consulate in istanbul for almost three weeks of denying any involvement. by the just a five pm early sunday evening here in moscow hoping stay with me kevin owen for the next thirty minutes for seven days roundup of the big stories we covered for you the first one from today brian when you fight another dimension to it germany's foreign minister knows head to donald trump's announcement this weekend that the u.s. is threatening to ditch a decade's old nuclear pact requiring washington and moscow to eliminate the short and medium range atomic missiles. the announcement by the us that is going to withdraw from the i.m.f. accord is regrettable the i.n.f. agreement has been an important pillar of our european security architecture for
10:02 am
thirty years for us in europe it's of great importance we call on the us to consider the possible consequences russia's already responded to terms statement warning that such moves could lead now to retaliate three 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 arms security as well as for maintaining world stability more the united states move will be discussed here in moscow on monday when the u.s. national security advisor john bolton is set to meet with russia's foreign minister according to reports bolton's already arrived in the russian capital with him a putin spokesman to meet to prescott says moscow will demand an explanation over the missile threat than an hour to go without easily pre-trained korea correspondent talking about what america's withdrawal could mean for the world now . mr bolton isn't the only critic of the deal america's doing it
10:03 am
right and russia is not living up to the end of the bargain that's how christ and donald trump mr bolton's boss explained why he's saying no to the so-called i.m.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. 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 bonded over it but russia is not . on to the agreement so we're going to terminate it 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 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
10:04 am
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 there 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 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 just getting out of
10:05 am
control when we did not snip this turn of events as you know it was not we just pulled out of the antiballistic missile treaty russia has developed been developing a stabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade in direct violation of its treaty obligations which was good because we respond to the threats that confronted us were moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure their capabilities were mean. we would never allow anybody to have anything even close to what we had. before american this next. we will give an immediate and reciprocal response. well donald trump isn't really 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
10:06 am
take a look at some of the comments donald trump made before about other deals we bonded in the agreement but russia has not unfortunately under the agreement so we're going to terminate agreement 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 withdraw withdraw i am fighting every day for the great people of this country so as you were saying. to moscow tonight but all these important discussions with the senior russian officials are happening on monday. here also in the equation this weekend the u.k. said it backs trauma's decision to withdraw with defense secretary gavin williamson claiming that russia is in breach of the treaty nato is also work of those
10:07 am
accusations where some are just now and said that in the end it's russia that's responsible for the dismantling of the accord and spoke to them are calm and he's director of the crisis research institute in oxford he believes europe will take a dim view of translators decision even despite its strategic partnership with the us 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 is going to pull the way we think back to the one thousand nine hundred two huge political tensions in western europe and maybe the mrs thatcher carried off this crisis was able to work with ronald reagan to the american policy through but in countries like germany and italy and so on the will severe tensions for the governments 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
10:08 am
well as his rivals worst people in new york what they thought about donald trump's decision to scrap the zionist nuclear arms treaty with russia now. that 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. and some of the other big story of the week a russian tragedy in the last seven days is going to fight it was wednesday when horror came to the crimea in southern russia twenty people were killed dozens more injured when a student at a college set off an explosive device and indiscriminately opened fire our senior correspondent lourdes garcia of has more on how the atrocity unfolded.
10:09 am
is a quiet place a small seaside town kind of place where neighborhoods everyone knows everyone it is one of the last places in the world where you would expect a school full 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 mudda into reality. but the. first he detonated an improvised explosive device will fit in the long. haul follow me i will tell you if the community has a deception so close. the loop on the sit down one. on the beach.

yeah plus the volley ball flight 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 when it would be packed with faculty and students the most. the most give some may take it mostly from my church. but the official both of them might well. be but both love that should be it. soon enough become seven i love them so much bill it doesn't feel. 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 by new couple only should he

decide. to get a fit only. in that scales. well made. it up as a slave that they gave to bed the night she was about such a welcome young bust as it was pinoy. did a good nature. but emotions to the new which are they've got that issue live with which are going to sit. on the trio system video which gives me what you got the wizard ac chose. to own but even the selflessness sacrifice courage and bravery teenagers barely older than children acted as few adults ever cool. i think. more shots more victims the father will do send the bill but most of them teenagers love a visual mumble most numbskull of so her shows is

10:13 am
the north. what's good it. is also good to see the amount of readiness in the world with any sort of school for an explosion that size in the cafeteria. mainly. through the court. even amidst all the confusion panic fear with those set aside self-preservation in order to help others risk life and live moving once again even in acts of overwhelming evil there is space for good.
10:14 am
so the arabia's explanation over the death of the journalist who disappeared from its consulate in istanbul earlier this month has left all trump unsatisfied now as it contradicts previous statements and claims traces back to sapir and. play doh. for two weeks we were told her mom 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 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 and quote suspects that escalated to
10:15 am
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 term 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
10:16 am
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 they. think is that we. like jobs and others. for this project you heard that some of these team will be bad news fifteen people eighteen people will be punished by these i had made just the you said but i'm sure the president would just a plowed through the skies though for punishment but 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
10:17 am
a ten billion dollars can buy any troops can say. 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 to be clarified and where of course we demanded to know what happened the emerging circumstances of his death a deeply troubling death 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 those responsible for it the middle east or 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
10:18 am
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 or allay sions that takes it to a higher level and i don't think you're going to see that you're seeing some sanctions against individuals from the united states but you're not going to see complete shutdown of relations with the saudis the more the stories of the wig decades of atomic testing in french polynesia is seize paris accused of crimes against humanity more of the other headlines when we come back ninety seconds away
10:19 am
. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth to the bridge eight point six percent market saw thirty percent from a year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers
10:20 am
overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one one to show you can't afford to miss the one and only. venezuela announced this week that is dumping the use of the dollar in its international trade transactions the moves in a tally ation for severe financial sanctions imposed by the us and the country's officials including the president but venezuela is far from being alone in moving away from that dependence is done a bushel reports. the world's top all reserves and else is no more boy author link in greenbacks. let us be free we will not be anyone's colony again
10:21 am
the latest in a now apparently nonstop erasure 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. 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. but american partners are making
10:22 am
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 they believe that everything is so powerful so strong so stable that there will be no negative consequences but you know they will come sooner or later but the hardest wallop of all may be from america's biggest rival china. beijing shop window now plans an ample dollar free range from old trade in petrol 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 economic war in one. tenth of the world and one in four people on this planet now live on the government's committed to draw dollar dominance mainstream economists pooh pooh any future without

known and welcome to the world some are situated between russia and china then the goal is the world's most landlocked country and yet according to my guest today this isn't a strategic witness 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 green to discuss that i'm now joined by the. uncle as minister of foreign affairs minister is good to talk to thank you very much for your time thank you for the nutrition now we are recording this interview on the sidelines of the valdai forum and many of the discussions here today are about q. crane and how it's being sandwiched between russia and the west like to 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
10:30 am
developing. balanced relationship with our neighbors and that's our priority. with russia china we have strategic partnership and really it is a trust 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 landmark status as a limitation. what allows for that change of perspective and this new vision of being landlocked in having no.
