fifty per month. president national security adviser john bolton is in moscow for today's. your arms treaty with russia. oil and trouble. in new york city as a coven of witches perform a hexing ritual on supreme court judge. events is met with protesters condemning the black magic. one hundred rally in the u.k. to protest fracking the british government presses ahead with the controversial. seven year suspension. the state's really doing something that people don't want

and the reason why is because the next. executive in u.k. government. may have financial interests. twenty four hour news live from moscow this is your r.t. international referee are joining us from right around the world welcome to the program i mean and only our top story. national security adviser john bolton is in moscow for talks with russia's foreign minister the visit comes after president trump announced he was taking the u.s. nuclear arms treaty with russia while also evolving to develop new weapons the move has been on the cards for a while with president trump frequently president putin excuse me frequently saying it was met with quote an immediate response. the arms race just getting out of

control when we did not initiate this turn of events as you know it was not we just pulled out of the antiballistic missile treaty and we took good because we only respond to the threats that confronted us were moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure their capabilities were made and i'm sure we will never allow anybody to have anything even close to what we have to go with usually leads to for american tonnage next cream and we will give an immediate and reciprocal response. yeah lots of reaction coming on this europe has been quick to raise the alarm with germany's foreign minister stating that withdrawal on their minds european security the announcement by the us that it's going to withdraw from the i.m.f. a quote 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 u.s.

to consider the possible consequences yet we have to go way back to the mid eighty's for the start of this the treaty was signed back in one thousand nine hundred seven between the then somebody union on the united states under the agreement all mid-range nuclear and conventional weapons were limited apart from those launched from the sea with more on this on indeed the baccarat and here's a tranquil. this is how you sort out a major nuclear crisis and make the world a bit more of a safer place and nineteen eighty seven the u.s. and soviet leaders got together and band ground launched intermediate range ballistic missiles and this is an example of how leaders can perhaps make the world more dangerous russia has violated the agreement they've been violated good for

many years and i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate or pull out. and we're not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we're not allowed to wear the ones that have stated in the agreement and we bonded agreement but russia has not one fortunately bonded the agreement so we're going to terminate the agreement we're going to pull out while donald trump does have someone to learn from i have concluded the a.b.m. treaty hinders our government's ability to develop ways. to protect our people from future terrorists or rogue state missile attacks the united states of america. is withdrawing from this almost thirty year old treaty. at the turn of the century george w. bush pulled out of a nine hundred seventy two pact designed to put the brakes on both countries from constantly outdoing each other's nuclear forces freed from the shackles of the

treaty washington announced the deployment of a missile defense system in europe and there's no better symbol of our discarded works for peace and security than working on a missile defense system a missile defense system that would provide. security for europe for russia having new nukes right on its doorstep pose. a new security threat. plans to expand certain elements of the missile defense system to europe cannot help but disturb us who needs the next that would be in this case and inevitable arms race. the us missile shield started operating in romania twenty six staying some elements were also deployed in poland for a long russia's western borders were pretty much taken care of moscow began to respond by modernizing its weapons to match and then you take your models and the

position of such weapons provides major advantages and wolf in the phenomenal speed make them on still people from missile defense systems washington wasn't happy at all russia has developed then developing destabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade in direct violation of its treaty obligations ickes ations came in one after another the white house and the country learning of that new threat from russian president warning at first reason and in the west in particular mess with russia computer graphics of missiles flying over mountains and heading over oceans and he says he's not bluffing and so we got to the point when another nuclear safeguard bit the dust is the world now for another arms race it might well be a question of when not if the security architecture of the european. writ large space is

a very important thing and the problem is that security architecture is broken there shouldn't be a western front for russian security there shouldn't be an eastern front for european nato these things shouldn't exist at this point in the twenty first century we don't need this class of weapons why don't we just do away with it and find other ways to get along better that don't involve voluntarily you know eliminating classes of weapons since president trump has been in power it doesn't appear withdrawing from the london market agreements has been one of his priorities . i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal the transpacific partnership from the paris thanks lima to court with the growth with the draw with the draw this is just the latest in the trees that the president united states has been withdrawing from it's hard to say whether or not president trump has some longer range to go shooting

strategy or this is just its leaders also this is really difficult to predict with this president. graveyard soil coffin nails on some revenge oil that's what a coven of which is a new york used to place a hex on the u.s. supreme court justice brett kavanaugh of a spouse weekend he was recently appointed to the lifetime position after facing sexual misconduct allegations not the event was met with protesters condemning the sorcery on a catholic priest and the exorcist plan to counter the dark magic by seeing a mosque kill him open for one was spellbound. so we're here in brooklyn where a group of pagan witches have gathered to place a hex on the newly confirmed supreme court justice brett kavanaugh now in the

statement for the event ascension they said that black magic is a mechanism for exacting justice by women who have been wronged by men just like him now the ceremony is taking place at this occult bookstore behind me. now here in liberal brooklyn witchcraft wicca might just be considered be another hobby or fascination but in some parts of the country it's no laughing matter there are schools around the country where the harry potter books are forbidden from the school library because christian parents are offended by the witchcraft content and there's been cases where satanists and wiccan practitioners have gone to court demanding their religious freedom needless to say tonight ceremony did not sit well with a number of trump supporters it is a scary time right now i mean there's a list of things going on now you've got witches that are placing a head on brett kavanaugh now a catholic priest who's been trained in rome as

a bonafide exorcist says he will be conducting a mass to protect brett kavanaugh from the witches he says that witchcraft is not a matter of free speech conjuring up personified evil does not fall under free speech satanic cults often commit crimes they murder and sexually abuse everyone in their cult we decided to talk to some of the people attending the ceremony or gathered outside the bookstore and see how they feel about cursing kavanagh do you think the ceremony tonight will actually impact brett kavanaugh i know it will not but it will make everybody feel like they have accomplished something and you know people need to feel like they've accomplished something possibly could backfire and help brett kavanaugh people leaders yes i mean he. strategy times three now what is so tempting to be doing the looking well for guys but heck sometimes i'm hopeless i i don't i don't want to die it is why i'm so a be paralyzed the rest of his life so he can't offer something so you're coming

out to counter the the witch ceremony it's an attack countering his sister in the love of god so we just want to say instead of like curses we want ads you get these blessings and we want to show the love of god because we're not about hate because that's what that's about we're showing that we're actually about love i encourage everyone to also go out and register to vote magic is one thing but you know. the polls are another so will brett kavanaugh us ten year on the u.s. supreme court be impacted by tonight's ceremony or is he going to be protected by that catholic mass conducted by an exorcist or is this all just a bunch of silly superstition it means absolutely nothing well like with most spiritual matters there's no way to be absolutely sure but what we can be sure of is that americans are increasingly becoming divided kaleb mopp and r.t. new york. i can tell the story getting a lot of interest fracking advocates in northwest england topping demonstrating at a site with a controversial gas extraction method is set to resume on monday after a seven year nationwide ban on. the.

site in lancashire is the first to be given the green light to start fracking since operations were suspended in twenty signs environmental costs campaigners have warned of a dangerous to earth t.v. caused by the drilling process called in fracking last year a number of activists were arrested during a peaceful demonstration and we spoke to one. i spent three weeks in prison for tracking protests we managed to shut down operations this fracking site every day of the month for a whole month of july last year it took me take them over a year to take me to court. for the action that i did i did a piece production i climbed on top of a lorry that was that was delivering fracking equipment i stayed up on that mary for eighty four hours three in our face that we stopped a convoy of seven the reason carrying the main training supports for the drilling

rig it was a deterrent sentence and they were hoping that by putting activists in prison they would. direct action protests against the fracking industry. richard roberts is one of three campaigners charged last september with public nuisance offenses he was sentenced to sixteen months in jail for blocking access to a fracking site well the trio where the first environmental activist to be jailed in the u.k. and almost nineteen years an appeal judge slammed the ruling as excessive and extraordinary and replace the prison terms with conditional discharges. well the judge behind the original sentencing this is another aspect. also face discipline reaction because a recent revelation shows he may have a close connection to the energy industry himself several members of his family reportedly work for an oil and gas corporation well that has prompted calls for the

u.k. justice secretary to launch an investigation richard roberts again sees the energy lobby goes well beyond this case this state. is clearly facing an industry that nobody wants to own communities around the u.k. every running up or cation that was. around this country was rejected sometimes you know mislead but always by a large majority and now we have county councils such as lancashire. who have outright rejected the trucking industry and yet. returned to the station and impose industry on the bill and that's why when i was standing on top of a lonely so many cars were going past peeping into the pole they were waving out their window the south saying keep it up may stay up people stay out there for as long as you can they ride with fifty x. or current oil and gas executives in u.k. government and they have financial interests it's the oil and gas no be the one it's. all right let's turn our attention to india where hindu worshipers in the

south of the country are defying a court order to allow women into a major shrine on sunday a group of women tried to enter a temple in courage but were blocked by crowds of religious conservatives in the midst of the chaos there's been a five day long program on the side too. as long as the temple is here we have to follow this tradition. so we'll ensure that anybody who wants to go to the people will go without any

obstruction nor stretchin will be tolerated i mean he called. splashing out god says i'm not a devotee i'm just here to do my job just let me go she faces stone and that's when she's forced to return back. and give a little bit of protest and then we don't talk to the instructor the sponsors. the latest developments on the case of journalist jamal khashoggi next to saudi arabia finally admitted died during a visit to its consulate in istanbul

a lot of details coming out on this we'll bring you the latest in ninety seconds. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days become educated and gain from it equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. it in minutes into the program welcome back in another extraordinary development in the death of jamal khashoggi saudi arabia's foreign minister says the i've spoken journalist was murdered by a rogue operation of its consulate in istanbul and also was a tremendous mistake. pujols who did this to us outside the scope of their authority there obviously was a tremendous mistake made and what compounded the mistake was the attempt to try to

cover up that is unacceptable in the government these things unfortunately happen we want to make sure that those who are responsible are punished well on friday riyadh finally admitted that the journalist died in a fist fight inside the consulate the saudi response came after weeks of denials and mounting international pressure on sunday the turkish president vowed to reveal all the truth behind. what we are looking for justice here and this will be revealed in all its naked truth not through some ordinary steps but in all its naked truth. yeah lots of reaction to this the u.k. france and germany for instance they have issued a joint statement condemning the killing calling for a probe the german chancellor is also among those urging further action to be taken against riyadh's. 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 thirdly i agree with all those who say that arms experts which are already limited must not take place in the current circumstances and fourthly further reactions should be internationally coordinated i feel certain that the crown prince was involved in it he directed it and that's why i think we cannot continue to have relations with him i would cut off arms sales as the only thing the saudis will listen to find it very surprising that somebody six thousand miles away can be certain about an event that happened six thousand miles away with no access to information or intelligence so this is a judgment call on the part of senator. this is not based in fact we see comments coming out of germany france and britain condemning in the strongest terms germany's want to suspend arms sales even even voices inside the u.s. president only republican party are calling for sanctions and not buying what the saudis are selling. with the u.s. midterm elections set for next month the state of texas has found itself at the

center of the political battle. now brings more in how encouraging voters the state's democratic party in hot water. never before have the u.s. midterm elections gotten so much attention and they're now just weeks away this november election is more important than any midterm in our lifetime they have to know that going out for the midterms is very important it's almost like going out for the twenty twenty election that's coming up we have a chance to restore some sanity in our politics. such hype in the states is usually only reserved for presidential elections or black friday maybe but this time around we're seeing politicians grappling over every last voter and the great state of texas is no exception texas is traditionally a staunch republican state but this year the democrats are stepping up efforts to paint it blue our mission of the texas democratic party is clear fire up the base build permanent infrastructure and of course when elections that means aggressive

communications and smart messaging their aggressive communication includes an extensive line of mirch attack means that gifts and the occasional puppy genius until now the texas democratic party are being accused of encouraging under age and now in u.s. citizens to vote after they sent out forms with the boxes saying i'm over eighteen an american pretext for voter convenience and the governor of texas is calling this a big deal this is being investigated if true there will be serious consequences but those serious consequences likely won't fall in the party but those who received their letters democrats say every mailing had a warning explaining that voting requirements must be met aka you must be a u.s. citizen but was the last time you actually read all of the terms of agreement in fine print most would say never you just click agree and hope you didn't just sign away your firstborn so it's no wonder people got confused and phones have been ringing off the hook sense the spokesman for the texas secretary of state said in

the run up to that deadline they received a pretty large volume of code somewhere non-citizens who are wondering whether them a woman that had been some change and they were now in fact able to vote and what about those who didn't bother to check in with the authorities and just decided to wing it well they could find themselves in a whole world of trouble. the texas democrat party unintentionally or otherwise is offering votes registration to non citizens without some form of official intervention confused known citizens rather than the texas dems who end up paying the consequences of this not generally speaking in the election form you are required to check a box and to sign your name if you do both of these things you have committed fraud and you're prosecutable and certainly subject to expulsion from the united states not being a citizen there is a suspicion you know that many people voted legally because we have a very easy and lax voting laws in this country and we have so many non-citizens

living here people who are otherwise you know which will to vote. we believe many of these people do vote because they have a deep seated interest for years the republican party has required or would like to see a requirement of people signing applying a signature or having some some kind of i.d. to prove who they are so that it marries against registration every country in the world does this and the democrats fight it tooth and nail because. they feel that that this sort of activity will drive down with their vote. up to it's quite literally by the minutes on our twitter page get your monday off to a knowledgeable start by taking a look and work great program start here on our to international in just a moment stay close.

i've been saying the numbers. they matter us is over one trillion dollars in. more than ten over. eighty five percent of global wealth to the rich eight percent market thirty percent just last year some with four hundred five hundred three first. because first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only. pranking game americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i can make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars

a year truck so i chose to drive truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down so much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality and he'll. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. you know world of 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 on the back 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. time after time if you want you're going on the run of the eva results from swiss multinational investment bank u.b.s. coming up on the show the woman who knew too much in person u.b.s.

whistleblower stephanie gibeau on the lies and corruption of capitalism and do we really need to be selling arms to the saudis to bomb in yemen we speak to the director of the new film the plant about workers fighting back against me a liberal government policy. plus the new orleans starved documentary and what you're going to do when the world's on fire on the battle scars of social plans and racism and violence from louisiana to london the first ahead of tomorrow's u.b.s. bank results joining me is the b.s. whistleblower stephens you bro who fought a battle for her life after uncovering a trail of corruption at the investment bank book whistleblowers the man and is out now stephanie i've got to ask you first of all how you change from being a luxury brand liaise or person at the bank and you turned into someone who was preventing u.b.s. from shredding documents and twenty you know it well high thing that you know you somehow values and whatever your job might be one day you just decide not

to be a complex of things you discover because if i had known that my job as a p.r. person as a public creation person was to help friends clients to evade tax i would never had taken the position it's because i was asked to delete those documents that i asked . myself what could be wrong and i you know pulled a thread and they made bankers explain to me that indeed i was like you know like a spider in the middle of a big incredible world wide. world would. you make it sound so easy there but in the book you recall the psychological experiment the milgram syndrome so there are other workers maybe watching this who maybe work for the i don't know the big four order to go but as well you raise the subject of the milgram syndrome you might have to explain the experiment because

the violence that i have gone through because of what i have been facing somehow makes me what doctors call survivor i should not be here anymore because what i went through is somehow impossible to find when you are a single individual and namely because all the ones you trusted your colleagues your internal clients your management your company all are against you and obviously they are much more powerful because they are richer and well surrounded and they have the means to press where they can assess you need to psychology clearly so this milgram cinnamon is extremely interesting because it means that when colleagues in a company are being told.
