are broadcast live direct this is r t international and john thomas certainly going to have you with us as we recap the week's top stories. donald trump's pledge to pull out of a nuclear missile pact between the u.s. and russia has drawn condemnation from germany berlin's foreign minister urged washington to reconsider the move the announcement by the u.s. that it's going to withdraw from the i.m.f. a quote is regrettable the 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 u.s. to consider the possible consequences. he was referring to the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty which requires the u.s. and russia to eliminate their mid range ground based nuclear missiles russia has responded to trump a statement warning that pulling out of the deal could lead to to retaliate or
8:02 pm
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 the nuclear arms treaty will be discussed in moscow on monday when u.s. national security advisor john bolton meets with russia's foreign minister because only a tranquil and kevin one discussed 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 that's how christ and donald trump mr bolton's boss explained why he's saying no 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 or. we're not going to let them violate the nuclear agreement and go out into weapons and we're not allowed to
8:03 pm
wear that one set up state in the agreement and we've done it but russia is not 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 a 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 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
8:04 pm
community cannot be underestimated so it would seem to. 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 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 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 with the good because we responded to the threats that confronted us were moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure their capabilities were mean. we would never allow
8:05 pm
anybody to have anything even close to what we have it would be good for americans 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 made before about other deals 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
8:06 pm
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. we asked people in new york what they think about donald trump's decision to scrap the i.m.f. nuclear arms treaty with russia 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. or the u.k. has said it back trumps the decision to withdraw with the british defense secretary claiming that russia has breached of the treaty we heard from anti-nuclear activists alice slater she believes u.s. pullout raises the risk of a new conflict. we have
8:07 pm
a very same situation right now with starting up cold war two with russia i mean this is crazy for us to walk out of this training we should be getting more this is not just another ok well russia is going to make some new weapons and we're going to make new weapons and it's very possible arrest to. use this and you know it's not even that will deliberately been so many near misses i mean we've just had garnered side was so lucky that none of these them are women how with opinion supports nuclear it's it's it's the corruption that by system right now that's making this happen. the leaders of the u.s. and turkey have spoken by phone about the death of a saudi journalist in istanbul president's trump and don't want to greet on the urgent need to get to the bottom of the case that was after the turkish leader promised to reveal proof the jamal khashoggi was murdered. what we are looking for
8:08 pm
justice here and this will be revealed in all its naked truth not through some ordinary steps but in all its naked truth saudi arabia claims that the journalist died in a fistfight in early october at the saudi. consulate in istanbul but many countries have expressed doubt over that claim and the german chancellor angela merkel has said arms exports to saudi arabia should be stopped. firstly we are outraged by this case we made it clear yesterday secondly there is no need for details and those responsible are still not being held accountable. i agree with all those who say that arms experts which are already limited must not take place in the consequent stances and fourthly further reactions should be internationally coordinated all right along with germany the governments of the u.k. and france have released a joint statement condemning the killing in the strongest possible terms they
8:09 pm
called for the investigation to be carried out thoroughly until responsibilities are clearly established and they stressed that no nation is outside international law meanwhile the saudi king and a crown of prince have expressed their condolences to the family of jamal khashoggi both wales spoke to the latest journalist son in a private phone call according to saudi state media jackal and this according to the same media jacqueline vogel takes now a closer look at the case. 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 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
8:10 pm
of a quarrel between 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 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
8:11 pm
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 the military what they. think is that create jobs like jobs others. for this country 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 can sell any lie you heard the radio that some of these team will be pardoned 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
8:12 pm
pull out to the skies though for punishment and this kind of justice 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 where still nothing has been clarified and where of course we demand 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 those responsible for it 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 in saudi arabia saying it wouldn't be appropriate
8:13 pm
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 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 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
8:14 pm
and cutting off regulations that takes it to a higher level and i don't think you're going to see that 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. this week abroad tragedy to crimea and so. in russia twenty people were killed and dozens more injured when a student at a college set off a home made bomb and opened fire our correspondent i've got to have has more on how the atrocity unfold. it's a quiet place a small seaside town kind of place where the neighborhoods everyone knows everyone it is one of the last places in the world where you would expect
8:15 pm
a school or college shooting. dress that black and carrying a bag of ammo ladislav of the suspected shooter began to turn his plan for mass murder into reality. but the. first he detonated an improvised explosive device that almost. before still over the neighborhood you filling up the community here is a deception so close. the loop on the sit down one. on the beach. yeah presto the bali bomb also on the bomb fields is abuzz with lethal shrapnel was set and treated in the cafeteria on the first floor exactly at lunchtime when it would be packed with faculty and students to give them up and give them was
8:16 pm
given some may tell you both so much. about the officer but often much about. the couple's loved one should the it. soon enough become a seven in the other the much of the old phone it doesn't seem to be and. there's panic and confusion took hold the gunman. again 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 fine you don't need to. be going to fiddle with a. critique you. in that chaos heroes when they come out. again. tonight she was about
8:17 pm
city welcome you bust as i was a. good teacher. just in that you know it you're right about that it was a way to bring us into. the trio system but which is maybe what you got told as i. say of. selflessness sacrifice courage and bravery teenagers barely older than children acted as few adults ever could. do. more shots more victims but little do. their most of them teenagers. most. of the should be in the. video like in. his rampage last the just fifteen minutes before he killed himself in the library on the second floor fifteen minutes but his victims are in the hundreds every
8:18 pm
child left dead a family was torn apart for every teacher killed generations of graduates left. at friends they teaches neighbors and countryman all shocked and. getting into the. this is our business. to. communities and i. think you still want. to use. or. you know. when your child. is with a sword in which you push.
8:19 pm
tony jones. 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. blitzing through the corridor but even amidst all the confusion the panic the fear that with those set aside self-preservation in order to help all of its risking life and leave moving once again even in acts of overwhelming evil there is space for good. still to come in the program the release of an extremist muslim cleric in the u.k. has sparked outrage that story right after the break they wish to live with us this week.
8:20 pm
i did the war planning for the principal force provider command in the united states military or for years i've worked on this region for years i do not understand this saudi arabia is the greatest state sponsor of terrorism in the world still today and yet we all here on that we lie when we say that
8:21 pm
we outright blatantly lie when we say that and moreover we know we're lying. welcome back this in the weekly on r.t. international now i radical muslim cleric accused of inspiring terror attacks was let out of prison in the u.k. this week after serving just half of his sentence out he's an associate you're going to has details. 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 year 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 for this development on the question of
8:22 pm
anjem choudary obviously facing extremist feature he pledged his allegiance to die ash he was convicted of infighting support for them and if and when any terrorist is released well rehearsed plans are put in place to keep the 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 why since 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
8:23 pm
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 whether he says it the other end of the country are drug ridden. is a bad influence he's not he's evil he's negative he's maligned there's nothing nice to say. maybe if you go to a country with jihadism is more accepted but not here the wrong place for him if you could leave 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 fifty 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 anjem choudary we could be following australia's lead to keep him locked up the extensive list of constraints on un jim choudhry is
8:24 pm
welcome that said the fact that he's 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 anjem choudary who claims some of those 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 there's a church going to far to. venezuela announced of this week event it is ditching of the use of the dollar in its international trade are due to u.s. sanctions on his tenure bushell comments. no muss the learned of the world's top all reserves and else is no more buying all selling in greenbacks you know let us
8:25 pm
be free we will not be anyone's colony again the latest in a no apparently nonstop barrel large of hits to the pin yards of the dollar system the impregnable tender since world war two and guess who's currency correctors is 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 have an inaccordance 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 is just shot itself in the foot actually americans get but there are american partners in
8:26 pm
making 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 an. war room one tenth of the world and one in four people on this planet now live on the government's committed to drown dollar
8:27 pm
dominance mainstream economists pooh pooh any future without a glorious greenback ensuring any smash will only be more shocking. for mel b. back with more of the week we have the top they are about thirty three minutes from now stay with us. when the whole make us manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when they're running clusters and protect themselves. when the financial merry go round certainly the one percent. we can all middle of the room signals. going around learning real news.
