i don't think you're. in a threat to russia and china donald trump says he will expand his country's nuclear arsenal until people come to their senses. here in the agreement they should have been done years ago but still people come to this and will build it up the us president earlier announced that washington intends to pull out of a key nuclear arms agreement with russia provoking a mixed reaction from european allies. saudi arabia admits dissident a journalist jamal khashoggi was murdered in its consulate in istanbul but as international pressure grows washington to hold off on punitive measures saying that any talk of sanctions is premature. the british prime minister tries to convince parliament that progress is being made on drugs that while some m.p.'s

condemn intensified pressure being put on the tree so many. are broadcasting live direct our studios in moscow this is our chief national incheon thomas certainly glad to have you with us and i'm donald trump has issued a threat to russia and china saying that he will build up the united states nuclear arsenal until quote people come to their senses come shortly after he declared that washington will pull out of a key cold war era missile treaty with moscow. russia has got it here to the agreement they should have been done years ago but still people come to this that we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up until they come to this center when they do then lol the guard will stop at will and by the way not only will read which i would love to do but right. now they have not yet here did

the agreement the treaty in question the i.m.f. or the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty of one thousand nine hundred eighty seven it restricts what kind of nuclear weapons can be constructed it essentially outlaws short range and intermediate range nuclear weapons nuclear missiles from being constructed it was signed back in one thousand nine hundred seven it was seen as a key moment in ending the cold war deescalating the conflict between the usa and the soviet union now we know john bolton is at this moment in russia he has already met with the russian foreign minister as well as the russian national security council he is speaking rather vaguely about the possibility of a new treaty being negotiated and he isn't exactly clear on what the united states is going to do he's not using that bold type of language that we are hearing from trump the united kingdom has spoken up in support of this action by the united states saying the usa is right to make this move but throughout the european union we are hearing disappointment with this statement we have here different e.u.

countries represented opposing this action referring to it as regrettable let's take a listen to some of what's been said the announcement by the u.s. that it's going to withdraw from the i.m.f. a cool it is regrettable the i.n.f. agreement has been important pillar of all 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 to believe that the u.s. and russia need to remain engaged in constructive dialogue to preserve the treaty and to ensure. and verifiable implementation which of course exclusion for europe's and global security so the fact that a thirty year old treaty is now in question a treaty that was key in ending the cold war and the nuclear arms race this point still rising level of tension between the united states and russia. former advisor to donald trump's a presidential campaign told us the emerging arms control crisis stems from deep

misunderstandings between the u.s. and russia. when i worked in the pentagon in the one nine hundred ninety three one thousand nine hundred four during the clinton administration there was you know we were doing a lot of work on so many other bilateral treaties between the u.s. and russia and these are really critical. agreements between our two countries and i think again the misunderstandings surrounding the truck campaign transition team trumpet ministration and myself and the misunderstandings between our two countries going back many decades is reflective of these deep problems between our two countries and it's unfortunate that we have this current stumbling block but i'm hoping through perseverance on both sides will be able to work through it. turkish state t.v. is reporting that police have found in abandoned vehicle belonging to the saudi

consulate in an underground car park on the outskirts of istanbul it is said to have been left there following the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi in the diplomatic facility turkish police reportedly believe the vehicle was parked outside the saudi consulate on the day khashoggi disappeared since riyadh's admission that of the journalist was murdered calls have intensified for saudi arabia to be punished but the u.s. appears to be stalling donald trump's a son in law and advisor jared cushion are saying the white house is still in fact finding phase of the investigation. 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 and what we think is credible and what we think is not credible saudi arabia's foreign minister claims the outspoken columnist was killed by a rogue operation at its consulate in istanbul and called it

a tremendous mistake however washington isn't rushing to impose any penalties on its ally as artie's movie. kind of explains after weeks of denying it saudi arabia confirms jamal khashoggi was murdered inside its consulates and estimable individuals 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 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 any rep recursions so do your abuse admission is a good first step but not enough it would be premature to come undone 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 creep poisoning well here is the reaction that emerged just hours after the initial reports is highly likely that russia was responsible to the polls russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder is cake is culpable quarrel is with putin's kremlin and we think overwhelmingly that you liked 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 pushing us from time to time certain steps are being taken by the u.s. because of the russia including sanctions on very contrived reasons without any evidence provided to russia allegedly using chemical weapons so there's no evidence of 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 the little washington chimed in then so

once stopping them now. they are ordering the. 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 and what the. thing is that created 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 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. i political analyst who. believes that given the apparent extent of reality involvement of there must be replications he says that if there aren't it sets a dangerous precedent. regardless of whether it's rogue on not clearly the

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 he 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 immediately the fingers of the world were pointing at russia over here there is actual evidence times were livid and that it was malice of forethought in the killing of the road or not rogue but 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's a very very bad precedent. the pentagon has defended an airstrike on a mosque in syria last friday saying it was targeting islamic state militants inside reports suggest dozens of civilians were killed in the attack in areas or province the syrian foreign ministry is now calling for international organizations

to step in over the u.s. led coalition's ongoing campaign artie's correspondent comments. the mascot's 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 a mosque it was isis is fault because the islamists went to a mosque. 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 us led coalition airstrikes on villages in did

a 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 you are 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. airstrike 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 airstrikes targeting isis as they say still killing scores of civilians why isn't the u.s. will. during from syria but rather occupying and fortifying vast tracts of the country solidifying their influence any 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. security and political analyst. told us the u.s. led coalition's aims in syria are 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 you know 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 year five from the beginning. one of the u.k.'s embattled prime minister faced a tough round of questions from m.p.'s on the state of drugs at negotiations earlier we'll bring you up to speed on that show up a question or two. i did the war planning for the principal 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 and we lie when we say that we right blatantly lie when we say that and moreover we know we're lying.

definitely on the dollar as a camp they are hoarding gold they're building a goal play two d. dollar rise they are looking for the dollar to trade significantly lower. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sport i'm show business i'll see you then. our welcome back this is our t. international live from moscow and the f.b.i. has disclosed in court papers that it used information from multiple informants to

get warrants to wiretap former trump campaign adviser carter page and renew those warrants page has been one of the focuses of an investigation into alleged russian interference into the two thousand sixteen u.s. presidential election and originally the department of justice released surveillance applications in july but a large part was redacted they have now appeared in more detail in response to a freedom of information act lawsuit now documents also show that former british spy christopher steele who authored a controversial anti dump trump dossier was relied on heavily to get approval for the wiretaps the f.b.i. also admitted that some of the informants were paid for their information though didn't go into specific details f.b.i. also concluded that the specific amounts of payments made to intelligence sources reflected in the records is classified intelligence method information without adequate context the particular amount paid to a particular intelligence source could be viewed to suggest the relative volume of

information provided by a particular source. all right let's cross live now to legal analyst jeff or braden jennifer as always it's a pleasure to have you on situations like this so was there anything that surprised you in the disclosure of these less heavily redacted documents i should say. surprised me not so much i mean you know we've seen from day one because we can get so caught up in the way it was was going on here like who is carter page and what was the deal with this steel dossier what does that matter you know who is christopher steele what does any of this matter and at the bottom line at the end of the day what some of these organizations like in this case with the f.b.i. just released this less redacted was a result of something called the james madison project for these or other nonprofits or organizations in the u.s. that are trying to get these documents not redacted get cause to fight information declassified so that we can see you know why these wiretaps happened because at the end of the day the bottom line they're trying to find is was the obama

administration because you can talk about the f.b.i. the d.o.j. but at the end of the day is was the obama administration involved in some way and trying to get opposition research using u.s. taxpayer money for the department of justice and f.b.i. to back or to down donald trump to don the down the trunk campaign and you know what was relied on that in order to do this you need a warrant to conduct a search and surveillance surveillance especially and that warrant was relied on the christopher steel dossier that's why the dossier such a big deal but the f.b.i. themselves the state in analyses that the steel dossier just they had medium confidence in that so there has to be some kind of a barrier of bridge to show why something that they had medium confidence and why it was inevitably pushed through because we know at the end of the day the f.b.i. doesn't make the final call so i think in terms of what was surprising to me unfortunately really nothing i think anything that continues to be an rejected because of for requests or because of lawsuits brought on in the united states is

going to going to continue to show what some of the political pundits have been saying all along which was that this was a politically motivated surveillance that really had no basis in fact or very little basis in fact so in some cases people on all sides of the issue are going to take what they want from this. trip administration is has been going after the f.b.i. a lot lately actually is there any indication of any wrongdoing on the f.b.i.'s part. right now there really isn't i think you know what now what they're trying to assess is whether there was a faction within the f.b.i. whether somebody did something but there is no indication from what i've read not only from this most recent court filings but from others you know the f.b.i. has to answer to to the attorney general to the partment of justice ultimately the f.b.i. answers to the president united states so what trump is going after essentially whether or not he states that is the f.b.i. under the direction of the obama administration i think that's what's getting some

people confused because when the f.b.i. has to go after certain things they have to they have to adhere to answers and higher powers now that being said there's always a chance in an agency as large as the f.b.i. that there could be some powers that be in policy positions or other leadership positions that perhaps take matters into their own hands or might do something and that's worth noting because if somebody in a higher policy position or the headquarters of the f.b.i. took matters saw something that their own people in the f.b.i. said just they didn't have much confidence and said hey we're going to push this through anyways to get to get a warrant then that would be problematic and that would be something worth looking into so i think he's going after them in hopes that the f.b.i. within themselves will conduct their own internal investigations to see what the source is of these either these leaks or these anon adherence to protocol all right jennifer britton always a pleasure to talk to help the situation interview with us from our international. right to the british prime minister in durban all round the grilling by m.p.'s on

monday as she tried to do a good parliament on the state of briggs it talks with brussels theresa may said a deal is now ninety percent complete but m.p.'s in her own party have sharply criticized the idea of extending the transition period beyond twenty twenty the pm has been under serious pressure this past week from both those opposing drugs and we supporters as well as honest as future going to reports now from westminster. we're seeing quite a mulcher was times four to resubmit during this week specifically seen as quite a crucial one for her premiership we do know that just throughout the last couple of weeks we have seen many reports suggesting that a potential revolt is brewing within the conservative party and speculation has been quite right that she could be faced with a no confidence vote and indeed all of this comes amidst major dissatisfaction with the way to resign me according to those who oppose her position has been handling brags that and in order for any kind of no confidence vote to be triggered we need

to see forty eight letters sent in by conservative party members to the conservative party chairman and again rumor has been going around westminster that they are actually said to be 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 dry i cannot continue to support an administration that cannot function in what could be seen as quite a frenzy of damage control we've seen this weekend to receive me published an op ed where she tried to convince the british people that she has things under control and that she will deliver the breck said that she has been promising despite all of this chaos that has been unraveling and people questioning whether or not she's been is she going to be able to do it we have also been seeing her addressing the house of commons trying to calm some anxieties there however how efficient that was

is a bit of a question the brics talks are not about my interests they are about the national interest and the interests of the whole of the united kingdom every word on brics it was anticipated a mixture of failure and dilution the conservative party has spent the past two years arguing with itself instead of negotiating a sense. simple deal nobody knows absolutely what the result will be the best outcome for the u.k. is a good deal but we continue to prepare for the possibility of a new two year old the prime minister returns to their homes to do commerce homes are totally humiliated to the extreme by actually two years of the government benches are holding the u.k. turn around soon leaving us all to the brink of a catastrophic nor deal the prime minister comes before us to deal with nothing but jargon and rhetoric the position we're in is that ninety five percent of withdrawal agreement as i said has been agreed the point is you know of this is finally agrees

until the leaders look at the package and agree the whole package together hence the nothing is agreed until everything is agreed her car going to split three ways . split at least seven worries when will she realize she completely lost control of the situation despite a recent me they're trying to save fifty cent explain to m.p.'s that according to her as many as ninety five as much as ninety five percent of the withdrawal agreement has been reached it is clear that there is lots of tension anxiety and questions about whether or not she's going to be able to deliver a broad set that is actually going to be working for the u.k. and this tension and anxiety has also just within the last days spilled from within political chambers but also out onto the streets where we saw on saturday hundreds of thousands of protesters take to the streets of london demanding a second brags that referendum but we do know of course that theresa may has said

time and time again that there would be no second referendum that the people has voted and the decision is what it is but the big question now is whether or not theresa means actually going to be able to continue to make those decisions on behalf of the british people given all of these latest developments and we discussed a teresa mayes position with tom brooks who is a leading academic on law and government studies he believes the only way out for theresa may is to change her stance on drugs. she's drawn so many red lines about all the things that she interpreted the referendum meant at the start of the negotiations it's really boxster in that she's really has no negotiating room other than continuing to plead right now for brussels to change its view in order for there to be a deal because there's nothing it seems she's willing to give up which is a very bad position to be in for herself politically and it's also of course very bad for the u.k. the only way out of it for her i think it would be to change some of her red lines citic a deep breath admit that she's made some mistakes call for

a coalition of national unity which should have been done eighteen months or more ago and request that extension but i think that in itself while the right thing to do as a matter of statesmanship i think is also affect the political suicide for her certainly as a tory. now that does it for me i'll be back with more news of top the hour you're watching our international stay with us. when lawmakers manufacture consent in consistency of public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent told.

to ignore middle of the room signals. to leave the room very relieved to relieve the of. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president interim or somehow want to. have to try to be for us this is what the forty three of them or can't be good that i'm interested in always in the waters of our. question. when i was choked small seemed wrong all right old roll just don't call. me old baby yet to say proud disdain comes to educate and engage with equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. hello and welcome to cross talk or all things considered i'm peter lavelle its 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 old.

krause talking some real news i'm joined by my guest here in moscow mark silva although he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have to he's a political analyst with international and we have these and he is a professor at the higher school of economics as well as the author of the decay of western civilization and we surgeons of russia. in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it glenn in the future we're going to do a review of your book but we're going to stick with this story here mark who are the winners who are the losers here and where do you think this is going to go. well the ultimate loser is of course the journalists lash intelligence affiliates jamal. regime dissident insider yeah i mean he's he's been a fervent member of the muslim brotherhood something that if you mention you are part of the right wing whisper smear campaign against against him he was a real wrestler he was.
