you know some people. believe. in an attempt to turn up the pressure on america's rivals donald trump says he will expand his country's nuclear arsenal. here to the agreement should have been done years ago but still people. will build it up. u.s. 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. journalist. was murdered in a consulate in istanbul but as international pressure grows washington hold off on punitive measures saying. it was premature. the british prime minister tries to
8:01 pm
convince parliament that progress is being made on the. pressure being put on. the broadcast live direct from our studios most of this is. certainly. 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 it comes shortly after he declared that washington will pull out of a key cold war era missile treaty with. russia here in 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 their senses when they then lol the guard. down. and by the way not only will we do which i
8:02 pm
would love to do but right now they have not yet here to 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 that the usa is right to make this move but throughout the european
8:03 pm
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 quote is regrettable the i.m.f. agreement has been an 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. to ensure its cool and verifiable implementation which of course is crucial 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. the former
8:04 pm
advisor to donald trump's a presidential campaign told us the emerging arms control crisis stems from a lack of mutual understanding 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 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 media is reporting an event police have found an 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 the diplomatic facility turkish police reportedly believe the vehicle was parked outside the saudi consulate on the days that shoji disappeared since riyadh's admission that the journalist was murdered calls have intensified for saudi arabia to be punished but the u.s. appears to be stalling with donald trump's son in law advisor saying white house is still in the fact from the 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 in
8:06 pm
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 medina explains after weeks of denying it saudi arabia confirms jamal khashoggi was murdered inside its consul eight and estimable individuals who did this to this 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 anywhere precautions so do your abs 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 am murder case of such as counting proportions isn't amy did lee
8:07 pm
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 escape is culpable quarrel is with credit overwhelming the 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 pushing us 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 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 washington chimed in then so once stopping
8:08 pm
them now the web is but a great ally they are ordering military equipment everybody in the world one of that order we got it and we got all of it every bit of it i don't like stopping massive amounts of money that's being poured into our country spending one hundred ten billion dollars on 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 but. 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
8:09 pm
feel certain that the crown prince was involved in that he directed this and that's why i think we cannot continue to have relations with him i would cut off arms sales it's the only thing the saudis will listen to 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. political analysts to. believe that given the apparent extent of rails involvement there must be repercussions he said. if there aren't it sets a dangerous precedent. going to whether it's rogue on not clearly the four saudi
8:10 pm
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 we live it is that it was malice of forethought in the killing of the road or not rope it 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. pentagon has defended an air strike 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 and areas or province the syrian foreign minister is now calling for international organizations
8:11 pm
to step in over the u.s. led coalition's ongoing campaign you have comments. the massacres 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 u.s. led coalition airstrikes on villages in did as sort of syria killed as many as
8:12 pm
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. 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
8:13 pm
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're doing a good 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. 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 different few civilians die along the way well that's just collateral the
8:14 pm
investigation assessed that although all feasible precautions were taken unintended civilian casualties regrettably occurred. security and political analyst on our should be told us that 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 isis can be used for 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
8:15 pm
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. the ukase in battle the prime minister faced a tough round of questions from m.p.'s on the state of budget negotiations on monday to bring up to speed on that after a short break you're watching a change. i
8:16 pm
did the war planning for the principal force provider command in the united states military 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. welcome back this is our international now the british prime minister and an all round a grilling by m.p.'s on monday as she tried to update parliament on the state of
8:17 pm
bragg's and talks of brussels may said a deal is now ninety five percent complete but m.p.'s in her own party have sharply criticized the deal of extending the transition period beyond two thousand and twenty the pm has been under serious pressure this past week from both those opposing brother and leave supporters as well and he's honest as he reports now from westminster. we're seeing quite to 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
8:18 pm
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 drawing i cannot continue to support an administration that cannot function in what could be seen as a quiet frenzy of damage control we've seen this weekend theresa may 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 set 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
8:19 pm
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 denial and delusion 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 sooner leading our soul to the brink of a catastrophic nor deal the prime minister who comes before us today 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
8:20 pm
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 made they're trying to save fifty cent explain to m.p.'s that according to her as many as ninety 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 brags that that is actually going to be working for the u.k. and this tension and anxiety has also just within the last days filled 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 brock's that referendum but we do know of course that to recently has said time and time again that there would be no second referendum that the people has
8:21 pm
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. we discuss to teresa mayes her position with tom brooks who's a leading academic on long government studies he believes the only. way out for treason may is to change her stance on drugs and. 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 for i think for the u.k. the only way out of it for her i think it would be to change some of her red lines sit take a deep breath admit that she's made some mistakes call for
8:22 pm
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. with us mid-term elections a near at hand of the state of texas has found itself had the political epicenter of the crucial poll examining how encouraging voters has landed the state's democratic party in hot water here's artie's jacqueline. 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
8:23 pm
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
8:24 pm
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 someone 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 will end up paying the consequences of this not generally speaking in the election form you are
8:25 pm
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 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. are the does a female be back in about thirty four minutes of full look at your news russian
