involvement. is that we can hear a lot international with me this is our round up of our top stories in the last seven days in the latest up to date welcome to the program. and first one from today with a number of new developments germany's foreign minister has had to donald trump's latest announcement that the u.s. is threatening to ditch a decades old nuclear pact requiring washington and moscow to eliminate the short and medium range atomic missiles. the announcement by the u.s. that it's 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's responded to trump statement warning
4:02 pm
that such mirrors could lead to retaliate to 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 armed security as well as for maintaining world stability. united states me will be discussed in moscow on monday when u.s. national security advisor and will meet with russia's foreign minister according to reports bolton has already arrived in the russian capital flight a man putin spokes person to meet to pascal says moscow will demand an isolation of the threat to pull out of the missile pact earlier. discussed with kevin and what america's withdrawal would 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 that's how price to donald trump mr bolton's boss explained why he's saying
4:03 pm
no to the so-called i.m.f. treaty russia has violated the agreement they've been violating here for many years that i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate or pull out. now we're not going to let them violate the nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we're not allowed to we're the ones that it stayed in the agreement and we've done it but russia is not one fortunately 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 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
4:04 pm
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 well the arms race and if you don't think that's 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 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
4:05 pm
stabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade in direct violation of its treaty obligations with the good to be sure 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 have. for americans on this next she greets you but you will give it to me just to resist that and if you don't we just make them 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've rounded
4:06 pm
the agreement but russia is not. to be 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 withdraw withdraw i am fighting every day for the great people of this country so as you are. but all the important discussions with the senior russian officials are happening on monday. and the latest development on the killing of the saudi dissident journalist in istanbul riyadh's 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
4:07 pm
details on tuesday. we are looking for justice and this will be revealed in all its naked. 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 saudis previously riyadh denied any accusations or knowledge about the missing journalist checking the traces back over how jamal 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
4:08 pm
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 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
4:09 pm
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 military equipment and or things that create jobs like jobs others. for this country you heard that some of these team will be fifteen people eighteen people will be punished by these i had made just these but i'm sure the president would just the plowed through these guys go
4:10 pm
first by the shrine then this kind of justice in this then the president except c then that's the power or the loaf 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 saudis version of events and much of the world isn't buying the new narrative. we're talking about the terrible events in saudi arabia was doing nothing and been clarified and where of course we demand 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
4:11 pm
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 and 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 crossed the line and there has to be a pious man and a price paid for that and we've got to suspend military sales we have to suspend certain security assistance and we. 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 the admission will be enough to appease the world and we all move on not sending
4:12 pm
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 relations 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. by top top story the u.s. is threatening to ditch a decades old nuclear pact to requiring washington and moscow to eliminate the short and medium range atomic missiles i'm going to cross over live to alice later a present of a norm that organization against nuclear weapons thanks for coming on to the program now trump claims that russia is in violation is that is ditching the only solution do you think for trump. no absolutely not i mean we have very
4:13 pm
same situation right now one hundred twenty two nations just voted to ban the prohibit the weapon and the five nuclear weapon states from the not ration treaty russia france america and china they by boycotting this treaty i mean so there is there it's we're on two tracks we have the climate panel is telling us you know they're now the earth. and we have all this money in i.q. points where you can buy a new nuclear weapon i mean. in his state of the nation and now. talked about how the u.s. had used to reinstate the a.b.m. treaty and we walked out of this treaty that we had since nineteen seventy two with the soviet union that allowed us to to ratchet down limits missile by live putting missiles we put them in the main year and also now they going into poland we
4:14 pm
expanded nato i mean i think i mean american there i think one country has been they had acted but i would urge russia not to do what we need to do i mean you have enough nuclear weapons even if you know build in the newborn's i mean why doesn't russia and china are in some maybe india getting care that puts the u.s. in moving out of its supreme. position as we only had just been on the planet after world war two alison why is alice what you know if we go back to this particular treaty why call trying to negotiate a new deal with the current one in place because that could take years couldn't it . yeah but the current situation in the united states we have what president eisenhower warned about the military industrial i now call it military industrial congressional academic media complex that doing nothing you know cold
4:15 pm
light children russia because that's where the money is going to make weapons and you know even see they didn't want to accuse saudi arabia of this horrible it's never lived in the journalist because he didn't want to lose the aam studio and our congress is very corrupt and so the world needs help from not. how many do you think that alice do you think that trump is using russia's alleged violations as a convenient pretext with the real intent being to expand americans own nuclear missile capabilities you know he is a loose cannon and he he when he moves on election say i'm going to make a deal with north korea i'm going to make a deal with me to get rid of nato and they get a six am down on him so badly you know we're not making enough money on terrorism that's why we're starting a cold war two with russia i mean this is corruption i'm saying russia china india
4:16 pm
some other countries should get together and say yes we're going to stop the nuclear arms race we're going to ship it nuclear weapons and the treaty on the prohibition nuclear weapons it shows how nuclear weapons states can join in you know be verified and get rid of and of course nobody is telling you to get rid of them require effort. but at least russia will always have a little common sense you know stalin want to truman to turn the bomb over the u.n. and truman refuse that's why russia got well i'm begging you the same thing do something different join a treaty so you're going to join the treatment for. weapons and grab some of the other countries with you when put it so that you so that the u.s. public understand because public opinion supports nuclear it's it's the corruption of our system right now that's making this happen we've seen. a lot of
4:17 pm
people criticize trance decision here's what republican senator rand paul had to say and then we'll come back to you alice take. this is why john bolton shouldn't be allowed anywhere near u.s. foreign policy that would undo decades of bipartisan arms control dating from reagan we shouldn't do it we should seek to fix any problems with this treaty and move forward. that is what we need to do you think americans will feel safe with the agreement in place. no i don't think so i think people have very concerned about them we're also very concerned about the latest report from the un climate commission that if we don't move in ten years and mobilize like we were what soon we change our industry over to make tanks and planes and go on if we don't mobilize
4:18 pm
mills and so manholes and efficiency and geothermal and hydro power we're going to we won't have a plan it's a living really that kill ourselves with nuclear weapons or with climate catastrophes so we need totally new thinking and i'm urging russia and going to be here in this and russia to take the lead don't do the same thing don't react that's what you've been doing all along and i admit we have a provocative but there's no point in reacting got plenty when you know the thing should be to jump start a nuclear elimination and gorbachev wanted to pocono offer clinton to do if we wouldn't put missiles in rumanian clinton turned him down so russia has a chink just in you know and people in america do not understand the meaning that russia took in world war two we had twenty nine million people die and. we made we turn the whole world upside down when the world trade towers came down and in three
4:19 pm
thousand people changed all of foreign policy everything to fight terrorism the more we fight them want terrorists we make i mean we have to switch the parent has it's not working. the ole alone neo patriotic capitalist you know make all the money you can it just doesn't need to change how is it looks like also with this latest advancement. the european partners a lins a strategic partner for washington and it's already criticized trump's move what's germany's stake in it do you think well i think germany. and america i mean we're in this and we never were invaded i mean we took over the land we loitered all the native americans the biggest thing that ever happened to us was that world trade that was the only time anybody ever fired anything on the us that work you
4:20 pm
