and in attempting 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 come to this and 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 the european allies. saudi arabia. journalist showed you was murdered in its consulate in istanbul but as international pressure grows washington holds off on punitive measures saying any talk of sanctions crematoria. the british prime minister tries to convince parliament that progress

is being made on bragg's it while some m.p.'s condemning the intensified pressure being put on some. of this is are to international and john thomas to have you with us. has issued a threat to russia and china saying he will build up the united states nuclear arsenal until quote people come to their senses and come shortly after he declared and washington will pull out of the key cold war era nestle 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 their senses when they do then lol the guard. every

job i've had by the way not only will read which i 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 is not using that bold type of language that we're 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

union we are hearing a 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.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. sure and very shy of an implementation which of course. 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

state secretary to germany's defense minister told us that in light of the emerging arms control crisis berlin should be reconsidering whether it wants u.s. troops stationed in germany. even more than a new cold war. between washington and moscow the security situation for the russians in new york and for the west you will peons in your has changed when it comes to such a proposal which had been made public by the us president so all the conscience would be severe and we have to take into consideration you as hopes on germantown can be stationed here any longer because this creates so many new questions and leads us to wall and this has to be

legalized in germany and. also in public opinion will be classically. turkish media is reporting that 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 in diplomatic facility turkish police reportedly believe the vehicle was parked outside the saudi consulate on the day kushal ji disappeared since rabs admission that the journalist was murdered because have intensified for saudi arabia to be punished but u.s. appears to be stalling as donald trump's son in law and advisor shared cushion are saying that the white house is still in the 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 in a rogue operation at its consulate in istanbul and called it a tremendous mistake however in spite of the latest admission washington isn't rushing to impose any penalties on its ally donald trump has since called the death a plot gone awry but in a question of brings us more on the story. after weeks of denying it saudi arabia confirms it was murder it inside its concentrates and estimable individuals who did this to us outside the scope of their authority there obviously was a tremendous mistake made and what compounded the mistake was the attempt to try to cover up that is unacceptable if you come 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 any represents so

do your abs admission is a good first step but not enough it would be premature to come into unsanctioned. 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 punished remember this creep poisoning well here's the reaction that emerged just hours after the initial reports is highly likely that russia was responsible we do hold russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder is kate is culpable quarrel is with kremlin and we think overwhelmingly that you 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 the race 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. washington chimed in then so want stopping them now kerry would be has been 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 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. so in this move as you look at them and trusted to the top and then insulted consulate and talked it was because as long as not

cleared up there will be acts trying to sound arab that i assure you of that i feel certain that the crown prince was involved and he directed this 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 a 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 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 it's 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 analyst shabbir hasan ali believes that

given the apparent extent of riyadh's involvement 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 four 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 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. the pentagon has defended an airstrike on a mosque in syria last friday saying it was targeting islamic state militants

inside reports suggested dozens of civilians were killed in the attack india's or province the syrian foreign ministry is now calling for international organizations to step in over the u.s. led coalition's ongoing campaign season drug comments. the mass because once 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 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 promise 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 will do 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. 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

of her 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 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 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 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. british prime minister and durden all around a grilling by m.p.'s on monday as she tried parliament on the state of breaks of talks with brussels teresa mayes a deal is now ninety five percent complete but m.p.'s in her own party have sharply criticized the idea of extending the transition period beyond two thousand and twenty pm has been under serious pressure this past week from both those opposing drags it and it leaves supporters as well which is an astonishing you're going to reports now from westminster. we're seeing quite a mulcher was times for theresa me 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 recently. he according to those who oppose her position has been handling bricks set 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 frenzied damage control we've seen this weekend theresa may published an op ed

where she tried to convince the british people that 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 a question the brics it talks are not about my interests they are about the national interest and the interests of the whole of the united kingdom but every word on brics it was anticipated a mixture of failure didn't oil and dilution the conservative party has spent the past two years arguing with itself instead of negotiating a sensible 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 when 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. to ransom leading us all to the brink of a catastrophic nor deal the prime minister who comes before us today with nothing. 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 none 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 explained 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 brag 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 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 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 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 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. the f.b.i. has disclosed in court papers that it used information from multiple informants to obtain warrants to wiretap former trump campaign advisor carter page page has been a subject of an investigation into alleged russian interference into the two thousand and sixteen u.s.

presidential election originally the department of justice released its fice a surveillance applications in july but a large part was redacted they've now appeared in more detail in response to a freedom of information act lawsuit of the documents also show that former british spy christopher steele who authored a controversial anti-trust dossier was relied on heavily to get approval for the wiretaps or at least the renewal there for the f.b.i. also admitted to that some of the informants were paid for their information though didn't go into specific details. the 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. legal analyst jennifer britton gave us her thoughts on the newly disclosed information and its bearing on the f.b.i.'s surveillance of cartage

. we are 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 an absolutely inevitably push through because we know at the end of the day the f.b.i. doesn't make the final call in anything that continues to be unredacted because the foil 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. donald trump is currently holding a rally in texas in an attempt to galvanize support for republican senator ted cruz ahead of the upcoming u.s. midterm elections the state is expecting a tight race democratic voter registration has doubled and the party's challenger but o'rourke is gaining ground in the polls but the drive to increase turnout has landed democrats in trouble as jacqueline volga explains 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 almost like going out for the twenty twenty election that's coming up we have a chance to restore some sanity in our politics. such hype in the states is usually only reserved for presidential elections or black friday maybe but this time around we're seeing politicians grappling over every last voter and the great state of texas is no exception texas is traditionally a staunch republican state but this year the democrats are stepping up efforts to paint it blue our mission of the texas democratic party is clear fire up the base build permanent infrastructure and of course when elections that means aggressive communications and smart messaging their aggressive communication includes an extensive line of merge attack me gifts and the occasional puppy she. yes until

now the texas democratic party are being accused of encouraging under age and now in u.s. distance 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 receive their letters democrats say every mailing had a warning explaining that voting requirements must be met aka you must be a u.s. citizen but was the last time you actually read all of the terms of agreement in fine print most would say never you just click agree and hope you didn't just sign away your firstborn so it's no wonder people got confused and phones have been ringing off the hook sense the spokesman for the texas secretary of state said in the run up to that deadline they received a pretty large volume of code somewhere non-citizens who were wondering whether

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

a deep seated interest for years the republican party has required or would like to see a requirement of people signing and applying a signature or having some some kind of id 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 this sort of activity will drive down to their vote. in two worshipers in southern india are defying a court order to allow women into a major shrine on sunday a group of women trying to enter a temple and corolla but were blocked by crowds of religious conservatives in the midst of the chaos there's been a five day long prayer ritual at the site. i think.

as long as the temple is here we have to follow this tradition. so we'll ensure that anybody who wants to go to the people will go without any obstruction nor struction will be tolerated i mean you don't. see splashing out cobb says i'm not a devotee i'm just here to do my job just let me go then she faces still infected and that's when she's forced to return back.

russia definitely on the dollar is a shame kim they are hoarding gold they're building a gold as a play to de dollar rise they are looking for the dollar to trade significantly lower. but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they did accept or reject. so when you want to be president. or some want to be. too great to be press this is what the three of them will be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. first. place.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance and the impact upon all of us i'm for children washington thank you so much for joining we're glad you're on board coming up today german chancellor angela merkel is making news today on two fronts hillary ford what's the australian market standing by to take a look at the latest plus over the weekend president trump spoke about pulling out of yet another agreement this one dealing with nuclear weapons we'll get to the latest with mr trump national security adviser had a meeting in moscow with his national security counterparts and what should we make of a trumpet ministration poll out of these trade deals environmental treaties and now potentially a nuclear weapons we'll talk through it with an all star panel plus what could turn out to be the largest oil spill ever maybe fourteen years old and getting.
