i'm not going to let them violate the nuclear agreement so we're going to terminate everybody we're going to pull out. president trump threatened to pull out all they need to missile treaty with russia accusing it of violating the pact while moscow says should washington withdraw it would be a major blow to global security. and in the stories that shaped the week grieving friends and relatives inside their final goodbyes to the times of victims of the college shooting and bomb attack in crimea one of the worst such massacres in russia's history. plus saudi arabia finally admits that missing journalist jamal khashoggi died in a fight inside its consulate in stamboul after almost three weeks of the denying
3:01 pm
any involvement. it's the week to hear a lot international with mina day or today this is all round up of our top stories from the last seven days on the latest up to date news welcome to the program. and first one from today with a number of new developments germany's foreign minister has had time it's donald trump's latest announcement 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 thirty years for us in europe it's of great importance we call on the us to consider the possible consequences russia has responded to trump state road or at
3:02 pm
such risk could lead to retaliate treeless we condemn the attempts to get concessions from moscow by using blackmail especially over an issue that has value for both international and nuclear armed security as well as for maintaining world stability. the united states move will be discussed in moscow on monday when u.s. national security it finds its own bolt will meet with russia's foreign minister according to reports bolton has already arrived in the russian capital. pascoe says moscow will demand an explanation over the threat to pull out of the missile pact. discussed with kevin and what america's withdrawal from 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 that's how donald trump mr bolton's boss explained why he's saying no to the so-called i.m.f.
3:03 pm
treaty russia has violated the agreement they've been violating here for many years that i don't know why president obama didn't. pull out. we're not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out of your weapon and we're not allowed to wear that one should have stayed in the agreement and we bonded but russia is not fortunately 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 in general there are 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
3:04 pm
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 under arrest. 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 well 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 one 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 been developing stabilizing weapon systems for more than
3:05 pm
a decade in direct violation of its treaty obligations with the good because we respond to the threats that confronted us were moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure their capabilities were mean and we will never allow anybody to have anything even close to what we have used it for american people in the 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 take a look at some of the comments donald trump made before about other deals we bonded in the agreement but russia is not one fortunately under the agreement so we're
3:06 pm
going to terminate the 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 john bolton's comin to moscow tonight but all these important discussions with the senior russian officials are happening on monday ek has said it backs trauma's decision to withdraw with the british defense secretary claiming russia's breached the treaty nato has accepted those accusations agreeing that russia is responsible the director of the crisis research institute in oxford believes ultimately roop will not like the u.s. scrapping the pact. even amongst america's friends with the possible exception of
3:07 pm
the british defense secretary there's quite a lot of alarm that this cornerstone of peace and stability in europe since the cold war period you could be pulled away we think back to the one nine hundred eighty s. were huge political tensions in western europe and maybe that mrs thatcher carried off this crisis was able to work with where you can get the american policy through but in countries like germany and italy and so on the severe tensions for the government 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 only knows his friends as well as his rivals we asked people in new york what they think about donald trump's decision to scrap this nuclear arms treaty with russia sounds like a terrible idea it sounds. crazy like crazy as he is. i think disconnecting from the world is a really bad thing and it's one of many many bad things that are in the
3:08 pm
process of destroying our democracy in this country crazy simply crazy. in the latest development on the killing of the saudi dissident journalist in istanbul riyadh top diplomat has said he does not know any more about the circumstances or the whereabouts of jamal khashoggi body meanwhile turkey claims to have evidence pointing to an assassination and has vowed to reveal some details on tuesday. what we are looking for justice here and this will be revealed in all its naked sure not through some ordinary steps but in all its naked truth. this comes after western leaders condemned and questioned the latest explanation from saudi arabia demanding more details german chancellor angela merkel is now backing a freeze on arms sales to the societies previously denied any accusations or knowledge about the missing journalist jacqueline dugard traces back over how jamal
3:09 pm
khashoggi is a disappearance and killing played out. 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 hiring king members in the gulf states and of course the investigation continues now this version of events fits rather nicely with
3:10 pm
a prediction donald trump made days ago sounds to me like this is rose. 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 cancelling 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
3:11 pm
spending one hundred ten billion dollars on military equipment at all the things that create jobs like jobs and others. for this country you heard the radio that some of these team will be punished fifteen people eighteen people will be punished by these saudi arabi i had made just to say i'm sure the president trump 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 the loaf one hundred ten billion dollars one hundred ten billion dollars can buy any troops 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 was we're talking about the terrible events in saudi arabia where still nothing has been clarified and where of course we demand to know what happened. the emerging circumstances of
3:12 pm
jamal khashoggi is 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 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 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's stance i feel certain that the crown prince was involved or that he directed this and that's why i think we cannot continue to have relations with him i would cut off arms sales it's the only thing the saudis will listen to he's now
3:13 pm
crossed the line and there has to be a punishment and a price paid for that and we've got to suspend military sales we have to suspend certain security assistance and we ought to impose sanctions on any of those that were directly involved in this murder 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. to use if i mean the political analyst for a turkish broadcaster thanks for coming on to the program use of the saudi foreign minister says he doesn't know the whereabouts of these body how is that even possible considering the security around surveillance in the consulate. i don't know how it's possible i mean if they're claiming you responsibility for killing him obviously they should know where the body is so it again the saudi side coming up with
3:14 pm
a store. that leaves many holes and raises more questions than answers yeah i mean the saudi announcement came weeks off to his disappearance but right off the donald trump he would like to be dead do you think that was a coincidence why did they decide to come out with. the police not a coincidence i mean the saudis were denying deny deny until the secretary of state pompei a visit in riyadh and came back to he came to i'm he returned back to washington reported the jump in a day or two later the saudis claimed responsibility so it's definitely not incidence that up until visiting and then coming to turkey seeing what the turks have in the form of evidence reporting to trump's so we had time there and we're probably going to get a lot more information tuesday president turkish preservation type i don't just announce ace going to meet. big announcement tuesday he's going to give all the
3:15 pm
necessary details so i think we should definitely wait so we can give a lot more healthy it now after tuesday because right now the most credible party out of the saudi us turkey triangle is definitely turkey. i mean before riyadh they admitted the journalist death present time he suggested it could have been he could have been murdered by road kill is now the saudi foreign minister is calling it a rogue operation. do you feel tom's comments on the latest explanation are a way of distancing the monic from the whole incident and yes you're right we have to wait and see what comes out on tuesday. definitely we saw trump talking about her rogue killers and we saw them we saw the i'm an american that the saudis were going to try to claim it was an accidental death and interrogation gone wrong and lo and behold just two or two or three days after all was in transcona and that's
3:16 pm
exactly what the saudis did they claimed it was rogue killers and it interrogation gone wrong but i mean again their story lee. does an in-service if it's an interrogation gone wrong why are there fifty people there why is there a forensic expert there why is there a bone saw. if there rogue killers why are they all people who are very close to the crown prince mohammed bin solomon again like i said more quite actions and fortunately the saudis aren't being honest but nobody's fault we see comments coming out of germany france and britain saying that nothing could just killing and they're condemning it in the strongest terms germany's wants to suspend arms sales even by even voices inside the u.s. even voice this is the president trumps all republican party are calling for sanctions and not buying what the saudis are selling. i mean how confident do you
3:17 pm
think is iran with. the evidence that he's supposedly going to disclose on tuesday and and if. he discloses that information and points the finger at the saudi monarchy should they be worried. well i don't know what he's going to disclose but he is going to record it disclose information i must be very very confident because he's made this a priority for turkey he's. he's made this investigation a priority he wants the truth to be told he doesn't want this covered up and if it is something big yes it it will be damning because it. state leader a leader of a country is making these comments and he's making these comments with concrete evidence backing his words. it could definitely be very very troubling for saudi came loose with our own political analyst talking public broadcaster thank you very
3:18 pm
much for coming on to the program with your. star in germany ever a candidate often which bills itself as having hardly and all my friends will bring all those details after this right. you know world big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.
