it's a. good cigar to international as the u.s. sorry with the u.s. saying it's dropping a landmark nuclear arms treaty with russia president trump's whole kish national security advisor john paul in moscow for torture across that and taking you through that today. also learning as well saudi arabia admits this isn't a journalist it was murdered in the kingdom's consulate in istanbul but is international pressure grows washington stop short of repercussions for now anyway saying any talk of sanctions is premature. toil and

trouble is spellbound night in new york as a company which is performing hexing ritual and supreme court judge brett kavanaugh the event met with protests because condemning the black magic. by their good afternoon four pm monday here in moscow live from the r.t. news center is kevin with me for this thirty minute live update thanks company first then donald trump's national security advisor john bolton here in moscow for talks right now with russia's foreign minister his visit here to the russian capital comes after president trump announced that he'll be taking the u.s. out of that crucial nuclear arms treaty with russia while also voting to develop new weapons to but of the history the treaty was signed back in eighty seven between the then soviet union and america under the agreement all shorter and mid range nuclear and conventional missiles were eliminated apart from those that could be launched from c. so with that meeting just a few hours away here's our t.-z.

gorge standoff with the latest. sergey lavrov russia's top diplomat is expected to meet john bolton the national security adviser for the u.s. president donald trump but while the big debate is ongoing whether or not the american president is indeed making the right call well russia's top diplomat sergey lavrov this morning's press conference here stressed that this could be indeed too early for any speculation have a lesson. in usual in regards to the u.s. position on the i.n.f. treaty i have yet to see the decision by the u.s. president i have only heard about his intentions as i have also seen some of the reactions to it that's been mixed some support that others have urged the u.s. not to turn down the whole system of arms control both nuclear and conventional you put let's not speculate at this point as that would be counterproductive let's wait for official clarification if john bolton is ready to do so we are happy to hear it

and we'll make our position clear based on a clear statement the withdrawal procedure has so far not been activated russia's foreign minister has also stressed that moscow has been committed to the deal and has repeatedly called that it should stay in effect past its current twenty twenty one deadline but he also did add that if trump puts his money where his words are well then russia will respond with counter action and in fact reaction has been pouring from all over the globe the chinese have warned that trumps unilateral withdrawal from the deal will have indeed a multilateral effect and one thing to understand about this treaty is that critics view it as very one sided in favor of the united states just long story short is the russia's ability for quick military buildup impaired greatly under this treaty while washington's concessions well they are insignificant and that's why probably

the former american ambassador to moscow has said that the biggest loser. if trump pulls out of the deal america's european allies and indeed judging by what is coming from europe well they feel threatened the french president a mineral necron has called the i.n.f. treaty key to european stability and he wasn't the only one 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 so indeed right now the only thing to do is to look forward to this meeting between that sergey lavrov and john bolton and whether or not heard john bolton's hawkish stance will stand here in moscow yet or we are in a couple of hours time will be across it now meantime the european union is concerned that america's pull over from the treaty will create more instability worldwide and

that thought was echoed to by russia's foreign affairs committee i spoke to constantine kasich off just last hour. before the united states drops the agreement and then proceeds with deploying. medium range missiles let's say in poland or in the baltic states that will definitely mean a completely new military threat towards russia because these missiles will be will have capacity of reaching russian areas far beyond the ural mountains and there is definitely substantial threat towards russian national security or they do not need any longer any agreements in the field of strategic armaments and intermedia missiles and all that stuff because this would create equal opportunities equal circumstances for each party involved

in a certain agreement and this is what they would not like to accept any longer they are they are seeking the unilateral military advantage they want to be the only power in the world who takes decisions what is good in the waters bit who is guilty and who is innocent to judge and to punish other countries and for there they do not need these type of agreements unfortunately constantly because the charter which is last hour that treaty was signed over thirty years ago but tension surrounding it been growing for several years already is a recap. just. the arms race is getting out of control. we did not initiate this time of events as you know it was not we were pulled out of the antiballistic missile treaty russia has developed and developing stabilizing weapon systems for more than

a decade in direct violation of its treaty obligations to look at because we are in response to the threats that confronted us we're moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure their capabilities remain on matched we will never allow anybody to have anything even close to what we have to go with usually if our american partners the agreement who will give an immediate intercept or corresponds . to 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. that we're not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement they go out of their weapons that we're not allowed to wear the ones that have stayed in the agreement and we bonded to the agreement but russia is not fortunately on to the agreement so we're going to terminate a break but we're going to pull out. 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 that and find other ways to get along better that don't involve voluntarily you know eliminating classes of weapons. next to another extraordinary developments in the case of slain journalist. saudi arabia's foreign ministers said the outspoken columnist was murdered by a rogue operation inside its conscience in istanbul and called it a quote tremendous mistake the washington isn't rushing to any repercussion thus far anyway. next. after weeks of denying it saudi arabia confirms jamal khashoggi was murdered inside its consul eight and estimable the

vigils to outside the scope of their authority obviously was a tremendous mistake made and what compounded the mistake was the attempt to try to cover up is unacceptable and because from until these things unfortunately happen we want to make sure that those who are responsible are punished they val's those responsible will be punished but will saudi arabia face anywhere precautions so do your abuse admission is a good first step but not enough it would be premature to come and sanctions until we get further down the investigation doesn't look like it it's premature you might wonder why a murder case of such as counting proportions isn't amy did lee punished remember this creep poisoning well here is the reaction that emerged just hours after the initial reports is highly likely that russia was responsible the two poles russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder is k.

is culpable quarrel is with putin's kremlin overwhelmingly likely that it was his decision and days later the diplomatic fallout was at a low level rarey seen before saying sions expulsion of russian diplomats and more sanctions should be received from time to time certain steps are being taken by the u.s. of the russia including sanctions on very contrived reasons without any evidence provided of russia allegedly using chemical weapons so there's no evidence what steps are being taken against russia and now we see a murder in istanbul but you know steps are being taken we need to sort out our single approach to cases like these but washington chimed in then so what's stopping them now. they are ordering military equipment everybody. in the world one of that order we get it and we are 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 good jobs like jobs and others for this country while europe and even some american senators who believe arms sales and need to be stopped. firstly we're outraged by this case we made it clear secondly there is an urgent need for details and those responsible are still not being held accountable thirdly i agree with all those who say that arms exports which are already limited must not take place in current circumstances and fourthly further reaction should be internationally coronated 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 but trump is adamant it's a big first step it's only a first step but it's

a big first but i would prefer that we don't use as retribution cancelling one hundred ten billion dollars worth of work which means six hundred thousand jobs the turkish president to promise assume reveal all the ugly truth on tuesday. 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 the question is will this finally be enough to trigger a reaction from the white house let's get a view from political analyst and commentators show some knowledge joining us now live hey there thanks for your time you live on air with us so some of the regular has admitted that a journalist has been killed in its embassy in turkey with high level officials involved whether how you look at it why isn't it facing an immediate punishment here whether it's a rogue operation or not it happened inside its consulate. indeed i mean like you say regardless of whether it's rogue on not clearly the best or saudi arabia in

turkey knew what was going on which by extension means that the government knew what was going on and the only reason that nothing's happening is because the arabia is currently the darling of the united states administration more specifically the trumpet ministration and it's unlikely they will do anything because like trungpa said i mean we have to give him one thing he's a remarkably honest. statesman so to speak unlike some of the others who hide behind the veneer of diplomacy he says look these people are spending millions and billions of dollars with us he doesn't want to get rid of that now. the problem is that this goes against humanity this goes against human rights and it's a very very bad precedent like mr poston had said earlier that when. the british government decided that it was russia that it. done this attack on this for a policy totally immediately the fingers of the world were pointing at russia and

blaming mr putin and everyone you know that the russians were like the devil incarnate over here there is actual evidence townsville evidence that there was you know there was malice of forethought in the killing of jamil control he wrote or not wrote but there was malice and it was connected directly to the government in fact there's even evidence coming out that moments before he was killed he actually had a phone call in the embassy from n.b.s. trying to get him to come to saudi arabia but clearly you know he refused and then whatever happened and shut it was just last night this whole thing came about rogue killers whether you want to believe it now inside someone's consulate but there's that what would road kill is first the lips of donald trump maybe was being too honest to get as you saying you know it's interesting the time that he's the first kind of mentioned this and now we get to later it's actually that's what the saudis are saying any connection there. well i mean we all know that the saudi m.b.a.'s and mr brady have

a very very close affinity to mr and mr question of course you know is very close to mr trump so some people have even said that he's the power behind the firm which throne they're talking about is one moment be the saudi throne the american through and i don't know but he seems to have a lot of power in this regard so it's not surprising i remember when when we were watching the interview that trump did where he mentioned rogue rogue elements we said they're going to find some state that's of course they did they found a cd you know i have no no sympathy with that criminal because he's the one behind the genocide in yemen that of course the saudis are doing and america is supporting and of course no one wants to do sanctions on saudi arabia because of the massacres in the genocide that they're doing in yemen. you know in this regard it's and it's sad that it takes the death of one like a famous figure like mystic a show going to wake the world up to the reality of saudi arabia which is really the must of man behind nine eleven and darn sure not such

a whole other program that's all of the program let's bring it back into mystic if say what they're saying is true and that there was some sort of all to cation some sort of brawl so they went wrong we don't know what happened there maybe they got a heart attack he just simply wanted to get some people to get married up but if we don't know what happened it's still not come out why weren't the official emergency services involved if this story is correct it was a mistake something went wrong you know the police why were they involved you think quick well because this is a very good question and also the other question is why did someone put on mr john because you know he's close and walk around istanbul trying to blend in and so he would be on surveillance camera footage this whole story from saudi arabia stinks to high heaven everyone with half a brain knows it's a lie and hopefully mystery of the gun will release the footage that they have which will reveal the reality of the saudi family and the saudi government and hopefully the world will realize what a danger to humanity this entity is section of the what needs to be action final

final ten seconds we're out of time but yet techies president saying he's going to do this tomorrow do you think he's going to come clean with it you think he's got this evidence is going to shock the world. i think he has something whether he comes clean with it i don't know because there's a lot of interest in play over here if he gets what he wants and i doubt if you'll broadcast it but i don't think he's going to he's getting what he wants which is why this stuff leaking shovel i hope it gets perfect for his family there needs to be closure in that way well of course thank you for your time as shep it has a political analyst and commentator on the line from the u.k. they will follow this story continue to follow this story closely that she or him pull. thank you for watching to still come over some of these for at least the next fifteen minutes or so a lot more of the day's news pressure continuing to mount on the british prime minister a bad time for her right now as the public in some within her own party continue to rally against the war that when we come back.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. get it right to be for the survival of israel can't be good. i'm interested always in the why is it our. first sit.

again u.k. prime minister treason maze set to give a major update on brics it later today she's also expected to respond to strong criticism from an pays some of westminster have been questioning a future indeed as pm and it's not only those opposing bricks it running on a leave supporters out. that's got the latest. indeed to mulch was times continue for british prime minister theresa made during what could be seen as the most crucial time off her prim premiership we have seen reports circulating for weeks now of a potential revolt brewing within the conservative party and speculation that she could be soon facing a no confidence vote has been running rampant all of this due to the huge

dissatisfaction with the way to resign me according to those who stand against her has been handling the breadstick negotiations and we do know that for any such no confidence vote to be triggered forty eight letter sent by conservative party members need to be addressed on this matter to the conservative party chairman and again rumors here in westminster have been running high that those who want the prime minister to go are just several letters away from reaching that number. this week the reason why you will find the cheese drinking in the last chance saloon and the bad news for her is that the bar is already drawing she's fast running out of fruit if she cannot command the support of her cabinet upon upon them and move fundamental change will inevitably form i cannot continue to support an administration that cannot function well in what could be seen as very vigorous damage control we know of course that theresa may published in opened this weekend where she tried to convince the british people that everything is alright and that

she's determined to get her promises delivered and we also know about later today she will be addressing the house of commons in attempts to calm some of those anxieties we'll see how efficient that is going to be and last but not least we have to of course keep in mind that this weekend we saw hundreds of thousands of people spill this anger from sort of behind closed doors including politicians but onto the streets where all of those people had come out to protest and demand a second brock's that referendum something that to recently has made clear over and over again would not be happening but the big question right now it seems is whether or not. recently is going to be really around very much longer to continue to be able to meet those decisions on behalf of the british people. graveyard soil coffin nails in the summer revenge oil no less that's what a couple of witches in new york used to place a hex on the u.s. supreme court judge brett kavanaugh this past weekend you hear me correctly he was

recently appointed a course of a lifetime position after facing those sexual misconduct allegations well the event was met with protesters condemning the sorcery a catholic priest and exorcist attempted to counter the dark magic by saying a mass which will begin here caleb maupin reports. 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 is this a cult 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 kavanaugh do you

think the ceremony tonight will actually impact brett kavanaugh no one night 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 he's a leader so yes i mean he. trouble three times three now it's so tempting to be doing the little pretty well for guys but next time in the hope. i don't want him to die i just want him so i may be paralyzed the rest of his life so we can talk or something so you're coming out to counter the the witch ceremony it's not an act conjuring is sincere in the love of god so we just want to say instead of like curses we want to add so you get these blessings and we want to show to love of god because we're not about hate because that's what that's about we're showing that we're i say 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 we'll brett kavanaugh us ten you're 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 that's a news bulletin so father saw oh so much more a few from moscow dot com all main site and if you've got a little take all those breaking headlines strikes mobile devices as they happen you never need to miss that kevin no instead of a great day. it's official now jamal khashoggi died in the saudi consulate in turkey on october

second the person or persons responsible for his death is yet to be determined but one thing is certain this tragic story is far from. cracking gave americans a lot of new jobs. turner jeez i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year girl truck so i chose to drive trucks 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 got laid off and the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and that's a tough reality to deal. with

the lawmakers manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flame and merry go round listeners only the one percent. it's time to ignore middle of the room signals. room clean real news room for. prosecution only to become almost. cold where you push. the threat of fines. by the number going to seem too i mean yeah i mean i've moved out political pressure on the. road to know through security jenison knows when to pull your bundled up business models used by american corporations doubtless was incomplete

is sold on good mental disease as you. see. the solution. in association with. newton he saw swindle as it is just really really came to an investigative documentary. ghost war on oxy. show seemed wrong. just don't call. any. yet to shape out just to become educated and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart if we choose to look for common ground.

welcome to sophia and kill them sophie shevardnadze there seems to be no end to american involvement in the middle east. but is washington still as powerful a player there as it wants to be today i talked to colonel lawrence wilkerson former chief of staff to secretary of state colin powell. in terms white house is taking its off stance on iraq as part of advisors and threatening drastic american action against iran but with american troops spread across the world local powers coming together to decide the fate of their region can washington hope to continue dictating the future of the middle east will the militant posturing of the white house lead to any real trouble and can it handle yet another unpredictable conflict

. colonel lawrence wilkerson former chief of staff to secretary of state colin powell welcome to the show it's great to have you with us again so lately all the important buildings in syria are being decided on car out moscow and tehran then yes which u.s. which once. was keen to intervene but mostly just watching the show right now if the current white house more conscious than the previous one or just less powerful i think both white houses obama's and trumps have been with regard to syria in particular cautious i think they're still being cautious in the trumpet ministration but i would remind you that there are some twelve installations if you will lead our u.s. installations in syria as and that there is no intention to move those elements out of syria until it is one individual from the pentagon put

it.
