it is. like forty h.q. moscow seven pm here with the u.s. saying it's dropping that landmark nuclear arms treaty with russia president travels hawkish national security advisor john bolton here in moscow for talks are happening all afternoon tell you about that also coming up saudi arabia admits dissident journalist. was murdered in the kingdom's consulate in istanbul but as international pressure grows washington stopped short of repercussions for now anyway so any talk of sanctions is premature and happening right now monitoring this one in the u.k. right now to resume a addressing parliament with a major break update his retort but the northern ireland border as some m.p.'s

condemn intensified pressure on the pm. so lots to talk about is kevin already here at our teenage q moscow hoping to stay with me for the next thirty minutes as we get across all this first donald trump's national security advisor john bolton is here in moscow for talks with russia's foreign minister his visit here to the russian capital comes after president trump announced he's going to be taking the u.s. out of that critical nuclear arms treaty with russia that's been longstanding for the last thirty years while also vowing to develop new weapons to say that treaty was signed back in one thousand nine hundred seventy between the then soviet union and america under the agreement all shorts and mid range nuclear and conventional missiles were eliminated apart from those that could be launched by c s a lot of talks been happening with john bolton and officials he's going to be talking to sergei lavrov imminently let's go. for the latest. to be

a fly on the wall of some of these conversations today hi john bolton just held a meeting with russia's security council secretary what do we know about what came out of that. well kevin obviously john bolton he's back churchill he doesn't have really really have time to switch to moscow's time zone here indeed he has kicked off his meeting spree by sitting down with russia's head of security council they talked about all sorts of things mostly military and conflict the things syria afghanistan all sorts of nonproliferation treaties like for example when it comes to chemical weapons and nuclear weapons but of course the big topic they both kind of briefly touched upon was this i.n.f. treaty russia has once again stressed that it does want to cooperate with the united states and whatever differences the sides may be in countering right now should be solved through dialogue now this was of course just the beginning of bolton's packed shuttle as i've said and the pinnacle of tonight's tonight should

be his meeting with russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov he has already held a media conference earlier today and stressed that it is important for all to kind of refrain from any speculation when it comes to the u.s. apparent desire to pull out of the treaty how to listen. and usual to show in regards to the u.s. position on the i.n.f. treaty or solution i have yet to see the decision by the u.s. president useless i have only heard about his intentions as i have also seen some of the reactions to it issue that's been mixed some support or 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 so that would be counterproductive let's wait for official clarification if john bolton is ready to do so yes we are happy to. it

and all my composition clear skies based on a clear statement of withdrawal procedure has so far not been activated. well russia's foreign minister has also stressed that russia has been cooperating at all within the framework of this i.n.f. treaty and that it is in fact more school that has been seeking to prolong to postpone the deadline of the treaty to make it does to stay to keep it in effect way past twenty twenty one which is the current deadline but also the russian foreign minister who is set to meet john bolton in the building behind me just literally half an hour from now on you also stressed that if indeed donald trump makes a unilateral decision to pull outs russia will respond with a counteraction and that will reaction has been pouring from all over the world the chinese have warned that any you know you know lateral action on behalf of the united states will have a multilateral effect and one thing to understand the key thing to understand about

this treaty is that a lot of military experts view it as very one sided favoring the united states they're saying that the united states can't really that the concessions the united states have to make within this deal really don't match the concessions that the russian side is already making this so perhaps that's why u.s. former ambassador to russia michael mcfaul has said that the biggest loser is if trump pulls out or will be american european allies and indeed we've heard something coming hours of europe as well for example french president emmanuel mccrone called the i.n.f. treaty key to european stability and security and he wasn't alone. the announcement by the u.s. that is going to withdraw from the i.m.f. accord is regrettable the i.m.f. agreement has been important pillar of our european security architecture for thirty years for us in europe it's of great importance we call on. u.s.

to consider the possible consequences they believe that the u.s. and russia need to remain engaged in constructive dialogue to preserve the treaty and to ensure. it to ensure its cool and verifiable implementation which of course is crucial for europe's and global security. is seen as the key warka championing in favor of scrapping the deal well we'll see if his stance really stands here and more school and whether or not indeed it will be america's allies that will be bearing the brunt of whatever decision the united states will make you been talking they were just pretty showing our viewers live pictures of john bolton his entourage as the sage is just said he's been meeting russia's security treif chief michelob publisher for talks earlier on a lot of things talked about now he's heading into his going into the central moscow area recently talking to the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov

obviously very frank dialogue is going to be happening there tonight will be across that for the coming out of those live pictures not much to see at the moment believe it has gone in earlier on before we show you those pictures let's go live to london jonathan steele's international affairs commentator hello jonathan what do you think about all this germany has already called this decision regrettable they were quick to chime off austria today says it threatens a new arms race how's the rest of europe going to react albeit well michel there was a rest of europe going to react jonathan. well i think what the austrian foreign minister said the review of the new arms race in europe is a key point. for everybody in europe so it's not near a big new arms race will develop both sides russians and the americans will try and deploy a new weapons and we'll be back to the worst first as a cold war in the one nine hundred eighty s. so that is the danger i mean the squarely goes back to the original americans pulled out. of under george w.

bush in two thousand and two when they unilaterally said they wouldn't but here to the antiballistic missile treaty and that really encouraged russia to think of countermeasures because the listing missile systems of russia would be ineffective if the country ballistic system went ahead and the russians started putting these missiles in kaliningrad and other parts of the russian federation and this was treated by the americans as a violation of the i.m.f. because they said some of these this kind of missiles. were not just short range which religious from that but with intermediate range missiles themselves and were therefore banned by the one hundred eighty seven treaty so there is an argument has been going on about this for some time so it's very handy largely now pull out of the treaty this is a very bad signal so pragmatic heads worried about this in some parts of europe but of course britain yes they want to first

a child and say to america no we're with you on this why isn't britain as roy does the rest of europe maybe. well it's traditional of course now or various for britain to be lockstep behind whatever the united states is doing i think the real problem which has not been mentioned by many commentators is china you put your in your report you said that the chinese had been very hostile to this potential decision by mr trump and said that this would have made multilateral repercussions well this is many commentators think that this is the american decision is linked more to china's them to russia because the chinese are not part of the treaties they've been developing the missile capabilities. military capabilities in southeast asia in the south china sea and the americans want to be able to confront them there and the treaty which we're talking about now prevents the americans of course deploying missiles not just in. your generation as well as i want to get out

of it so we can start putting so i wonder if there was a school of thought that maybe this whole treaty it being thirty years old the world's moved all a bit since that in various ways was a bit out of date anyway it needed some modernization is that what bolton is the reason why bolton so quickly come to moscow what's he bringing to the party here do you think if anything. well i think he's going to announce. that this is a genuine announcement i mean as you pointed out sergei lavrov the russian foreign minister was very diplomatic and said let's wait till there is a full decision. procedure starting to withdraw from the treaty we know that the intention is there but let's wait for the procedure hoping perhaps that there would be a second thought in washington of the european governments would protest sufficiently enough to turn back but i don't think that's very largely i think trump is determined to go ahead same choreography if we had with the rainy and nuclear

treaty trump announced and in turn there was a bit of a pause but then he went ahead and took the final decision on a full face she thought she ought to sell its national affairs commentator on there from the u.k. . big story we're following today the journalist that died on trump's son in law and advisor said the white house is still a fact finding phase as it looks into the murder of a saudi dissident journalist. do you trust the saudis to investigate themselves i mean we're getting facts in from multiple places and then once those facts come in the secretary of state will will will work with our national security team to help us determine what we want to believe in and what we think is credible and what we think is not credible meantime saudi arabia's foreign minister says the outspoken columnist was killed by a rogue operation inside its consulate in istanbul and called it a quote tremendous mistake end quote however washington isn't rushing forward with

any repercussions for now at least within a culture of the briefs you. after weeks of denying it saudi arabia confirms jamal khashoggi was murdered inside its consul eight and estimable two tools who did this to us 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 that is unacceptable and because from and these things unfortunately happen we want to make sure that those who are responsible are punished they val's those responsible or 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 comment on 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 immediately punished remember

this poisoning well here is the reaction that emerged just hours after the initial reports is highly likely that russia was responsible to hold russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder is kate is culpable quarrel is with putin's kremlin overwhelmingly likely that it was his decision and days later the diplomatic fallout was at a level rarely 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. reserve 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 and you know steps are being taken we need to sort out our single approach to cases like these but we will put the washington chimed in then so what's

stopping them now. they are ordering military equipment everybody. in the world one of that order we got 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 what they. think is that create jobs like jobs and others for this country while europe and even some american senators who believe arms sales and need to be stopped by some of 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 and thirdly i agree with all those who say that arms exports which are already limited must not take place in current circumstances and fourth point further reaction should be internationally coronated i feel certain that the crown prince was involved in it 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 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 retribution cancelling one hundred ten billion dollars worth of work which means six hundred thousand jobs the turkish president to promise a super 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 political analysts and commentators shove a house gnarly things if saudi arabia is responsible and gets away with it crucially it says the dangerous president. regardless of whether it's rogue on not clearly the basket 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 saudi arabia is currently the darling of the united states administration more specifically the trumpet ministration the british government decided that it was russia that it done this attack on the script palace immediately the fingers of the world were pointing at russia over here there is actual evidence tangible evidence that there was malice of forethought in the killing of gitmo should be rolled or not wrote that there was malice and it was connected directly to the government the problem is that this goes against humanity this goes against human rights and it sets a very very bad precedent. which news even if something else were tracking update on those bright side toes coming right up after the break through to may right now addressing m.p.'s in westminster all the latest on that ninety seconds away.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president. wanted. to go right to the press this is what the three of them will be good. i'm interested always in the water. i did the war planning for the principal force provider command in the united states military order 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 call here on that we lie when we say that we right blatantly lie when we say that and moreover we know we're lying.

again thanks what's you know it's international so new in the british prime minister right now speaking to the commons he's saying that the old proving to be a major stumbling block is negotiations against the wall over the huge headache for a tree's amazed when addressing parliament with an update saying ninety five percent complete other stuff but. have been slamming the idea of extending negotiations with brussels which is what she wants to do it's all still playing out right now in the u.k. house of commons you can see the pm has been on this serious pressure this past week from both opposing supporters to get them from all sides. and it takes

a look at the. this is them coming i says so from all quarters. of a very sad indeed to mulch was times continue for british prime minister theresa may 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 breadth of 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 about 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 route if she cannot come out of the support of her cabinet upon the upon them more fundamental change will inevitably form i cannot continue to support an administration that cannot function 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 theresa may has made clear over and

over again. and would not be happening but the big question right now it seems is whether or not theresa me is going to be really around very much longer to continue to be able to make those decisions on behalf of the british people. the pentagon has defended its airstrike on a mosque in syria last friday saying it was targeting islamic state militants inside reports say dozens of civilians were killed in the attack india is or province to the syrian foreign ministry is now calling for international organizations to step in over the u.s. led coalition's ongoing campaign r.t. senior correspondent we're going to see of his the latest damascus wants the united nations to get involved to investigate these u.s. led coalition airstrikes sixty odd civilians dead reportedly worth an investigation no which the pentagon is already preempting it wasn't their fault see that all these civilians died when they bombed the mosque it was isis is fault because the islamists went to

a mask. such dire misuse of the mosque is another example of their violation of the law of war and made the mosque a valid military target interesting reasoning by the same logic if isis fighters get treated the civilian hospital the us is well within its rights to level it but this sort of trigger happy attitude is costing hundreds of lives in july u.s. led coalition airstrikes on villages in did as sort of syria killed as many as fifty four people according to various human rights organizations dozens of them being women and children the pentagon men admitted that it may have carried out these airstrikes promised to investigate which they seem to do often nowadays us some command is adamant it's as strikes clearly hit the intended target as a survivor pulled from the rubble after the powerful attack from the air syrians are describing it as a massacre according to syrian monitoring group activists and rescue workers in

march two thousand and seventeen at least forty six people were killed in another u.s. air strike on a mosque near aleppo during prayer time no less but it was packed with locals and fighters alike or if you go with the u.s. version they actually targeted a separate building fifteen meters away which doesn't make an awful lot of difference when it comes to the sort of bombs we're talking about if we could go on and on with these examples but regardless the u.s. mission in syria was to destroy isis a greater good mission accomplished the president said so the coalition to defeat isis has liberated very close to one hundred percent of the territory we've done a great job with those as we have just absolutely decimated isis so why has strikes targeting isis as they say still killing scores of civilians why isn't the u.s.

with. during from syria but rather occupying and fortifying vast tracts of the country solidifying their influence and a number of reasons isis which they say is already defeated iran which they want to contain russia which they want to challenge or oil which they want to control and defend few civilians die along the way well that's just collateral the investigation assessed that although all feasible precautions were taken unintended civilian casualties regrettably occurred. earlier talk to secure it implicitly and so on the shabby things the u.s. led coalition's aims in syria not limited to fighting terrorists. i think that the american operations are on one hand claiming to be fighting isis and on the other hand finding all kinds of. maneuvers to let isis get away with it because the presence of eyes is the continued presence of these small pockets of eyes that can

be used by the americans and their coalition forces their western coalition as a pretext to remain in syria and remain in in control of parts of the country where they can put pressure on the syrian government and that is actually what's happening there and now there are acting in a way benefiting from the fact that media attention is elsewhere and bombing indiscriminately killing innocent civilians and thinking that they can get away with it here the syrian government stepped in and asked for a probe and i think this probe should be for all actions done in syria throughout the fight from the beginning it's twenty five person moscow time as well as some of the world news stories looking so far this monday column brazier was more the headlines as they happen through the evening special focus on john bolton's visit here to moscow right now on the talks of occasions about what u.k. pm trees amazed just had to say about bricks it to parliament including me in parts of the irish border headaches the last talk about the ceiling for now though it's

kevin owen here in moscow saying thank you for watching our team international. when lawmakers manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round of lives only the one percent. that's not doing all middle of the room signals. dealing room clean real news is

really cold. prosecution will need to be. called where you question on this thread you'll find somebody no longer seem to i mean yeah i mean i mean political pressure on a god you've been called to security genocide knows what kind of business models he was by american corporations. he's sold all good mental disease as you. see. the solution. in association. with when he saw it is just really really came to an investigative documentary.

ghost war on oxy. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics business i'm show business i'll see you then. you know world a big part of the new law 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 smart 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. and in the war planning for the principle force provider command in the united

states military for four 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 call here on that we lie when we say that we write blatantly lie when we say that and moreover we know we're lying. well. this is the pat on the land. five years ago it was all grass.

like that over there. now we have this pumper going day and day out we didn't have any choice really we could have put it over that way always i mean we could have moved a little bit. but we have to let the people that own the mineral rights get to those mineral rights and they compensated us for what they took here but the company built it and we have it now for. next forty years i'm guessing i don't know. my house up there and there we have we used to have a beautiful view. now we have this to look at brings in a little bit of money very little if they took us out of here and get back all the money i've made off of it. but it ain't going to happen.
