you don't. want the economics of people to know your business will be going to. the. right not adhering to the agreement that should have been done years ago but still people come to that we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up donald trump threatens to ramp up america's nuclear capabilities after vowing to scrap a decades old disarmament treaty with russia. plus u.s. treasury secretary sits down with the saudi crown prince after dismissing any talk of sanctions following the murder of a distant journalist as premature. and a british man sues the u.s. army after being exposed to toxic chemicals but working as a contractor at a military base we speak to the whistleblower. when i was just

a bunch to school just on medical checks and is that the gist of the winds as well let's just look at. someone else. here watching our to international bringing you here live news updates straight from the russian capital welcome to the program. donald trump has threatened to build up the united states nuclear arsenal until quote people come to their senses he earlier vowed to scrap a nuclear treaty with russia that's been in force for almost three decades. right here to the agreement they should have been done years ago so people come to this that we have more money than anybody else but we'll build it up until they come to this that when they do then we'll all be barred. by the way not

only will we do the treaty in question the i.m.f. or the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty of one thousand nine hundred eighty seven it were strix 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 countries represented

opposing this action referring to it as regrettable let's take a listen to some of what's been said because. we regret the withdrawal announcement by the u.s. we see this treaty as a very important instrument of arms control and one that says european interests and that for which you have an interest as well. as i think it has also become clear this week hand that meeting will have to address the east she's currently including at the upcoming meeting next week and germany will actively contribute to the discussion because we stand in favor of the preservation of this treaty and we stand for a working design makan is an europe that is our goal we hope the usa will avoid withdrawing believe that the u.s. and russia. 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 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. dorio revolt a former attorney an m.p. and international relations analyst says trump won't listen to europe as he is looking to his own country's mid-term elections over the voice. agreeing of them out on the same way the fact is that mr trump looks to be less attentive to what european i've seen king about it and so i'm not so sure that european the voice or the voice of the different european counties can convince him. to get back we have to have went in at the feet of the most probably the most that we had reason for which a trumpet made that statement is due to the elections that we are going to he's going to have in the beginning november and. i think that more than that for

international reason it was a huge internal reasons that this season. season of america arrived. as the killing of dissident saudi journalist jamal khashoggi continues to send shock waves across the globe u.s. treasury treasury secretary steve newton has met with the heir to the saudi throne crown prince mohammed bin so much they both stressed the importance of their country strategic partnership the talks come amid outrage directed at the saudis after they confirm the murder of khashoggi out there consulate in istanbul many countries are now reassessing their arms exports to saudi arabia the u.s. however remains committed to its multibillion dollar deals with the gulf monarchy and they say it's too early to talk about sanctions here's medina kosovo with the details. after weeks of denying it saudi arabia confirms jamal khashoggi was murdered inside its consul eight and estimable individuals who did this to outside

the scope of their authority obviously it was a tremendous mistake made and what compounded the mistake was the attempt to try to cover up that is unacceptable because from until these things unfortunately happen we want to make sure that those who are responsible are punished they vowed those responsible will be punished but will saudi arabia face anywhere precautions so do your abuse admission is a good first step but not enough it would be premature to 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 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 kate is culpable quarrel is

with putin's kremlin we think 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 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 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 it's you know steps are being taken we need to sort out our single approach to cases like these but washington chimed in then so what's stopping them now. they are ordering military equipment everybody. in the world one of that order we 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 and what the. things 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 so there's no there's you look at the months is also did that happen that the saudi consulate in terms must be cleared up as long as it's not explain there will be no arms expert to saudi arabia i show you 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 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 former u.s. congressman ron paul says the u.s. isn't eager to shift its attitude towards the saudis remain a major ally. i mean we have to deal with the problems we're talking about today what is the united states going to do in retaliation to a murder and a killing that nobody clearly completely understands at the same time trying to preserve an alliance with a government that some of us now have become very unhappy about and there is a shift in the sand and in the country against the saudis but i'm sort of cynical in the fact that i don't think it's going to change overall policy i don't think if they come up with some way of punishing the saudis i don't think any year

or two or three that we're not going to be on the same side as the saudis i just don't think they're going to do away with that they'll cover it up some one way or another the deep state the people who control the military industrial complex and the banking system they're very very powerful and i just don't see i know next month they're going to vote no more weapons and though more closely working with saudi arabia i just don't think that alliance is going to go away this is all about politics it's all about money it's all about selling weapons it's all about this coalition against iran and the coalition against russia. a british man is suing the u.s. army claiming he was exposed to a dangerous chemical substance on a military base david peterson's latest blood test results confirm a high levels of cadmium the first hearing on his case is due to take place later this week now the substance cadmium can cause cancer and may also affect the

central nervous system it's one of six hazardous substances that were banned by the e.u. for use in electrical and electronic equipment to protect human and environmental health david says that his colleagues were exposed to even higher levels than he was. i know received or medication or stress or high blood pressure and other ongoing things i want to know that i am not ill i do not have some ticking bomb inside my body b. my colleagues are still working on site they really cannot see anything they have higher blood cadmium level than i did it goes and through the body it's a risk for it's right then it was into your other parts of your body it could take a month a year it could take up to five years but be in a house that janet is very windy weather is a small part or

a lot of jobs like we worked on the floor for two weeks without any protection and may of last year david who worked as a contractor was inspecting equipment at the base he says boxes were covered in a white dust but no warning was given as the nature of the powder staff were working with no protective gear and it wasn't until a year later that the u.s. army told him it was cadmium david filed a lawsuit after he was sacked for complaining about the incident the army says it's now changed how it handles contaminated equipment. we know we won't earn your trust if we don't perform better so will the contractor has redoubled efforts and safety training and proper methods for receiving processing handling and cleaning items there are possibly contaminated with cadmium only a year later to be fighting though this is had been a problem ongoing with the u.s. army going back to two thousand and eight when i asked about who's going to assist

on medical checks and as it. they just simulate whatever just not here not is not my problem go see someone else it was like i hope it'll be in class from one to another to another until i eventually had to go to my own doctors myself and p. for all my own medical expenses we breathed this kind of boom in and we don't know what was happening to us it will happen when allowed and hope i will be no one no one seems to give no one is cheating responsibility law one is assisting us the managers have said we are helping them and put them through a medical they have done nothing we have had to just have a blood tested everyone is ducking and diving a no one is cheating responsibility the u.s. army and the firms involved are yet to respond to a request for further comment on this update us and as we hear from them. a senior johannesburg in south africa is said to be the first to implement

a land reform act known as expropriation without compensation last month the city council voted in favor of redistributing farm lands from the white minority which is meant to correct the historic injustices of apartheid investigative reporters her predecessors has more on how this reform has stirred bitter resentment across the country you can watch their full report on youtube. throughout the way for march on this very for training given by a former israeli soldier a white farmer. the farmers feel that they're under attack and that they need to protect themselves. and. unfortunately. you feel that you're more talk because of your skin color. skin. if you have there's

a white genocide for sure for sure hysteria around farm attacks has been ramped up the same time as a real risk to the interests of white farmers has emerged widespread laundry for the one nine hundred thirty native land act forcibly stripped on from black people a policy which was later reinforced by apartheid but now the ruling a.n.c. are considering amending the constitution to allow for the expiration of land from white landowners without compensation it's not the end see though but these guys judy slim as economic freedom fighters who have pushed the issue onto the agenda we are going to take. when value leggy took over moment x. idea for a soldier training and they train white farmers to defend themselves against attacks they think that taking men to his tool while going to sit down with them while going to give them a what times. this

country's race is racist as being black. is the leader of an even more radical group pushing for. black first first they're taking matters into their own hands by occupying vacant. now. only the black people in south africa have little access to long but many are forced to live in poverty stricken informal settlements like this one. just south of johannesburg they live in the shadows of society and have little access to basic services when you dream. you wonder where you can stand because the water's coming in fact. but. government. just believe government exists to make sure white people leave their lives in peace and get people to manage to do it

we did heads of chicken and feet of chicken what is it that drumstick. white people . know we wanted drumstick one denies part of the chicken has. still to come the program the us defend a recent airstrike in syria that reportedly killed dozens of civilians saying it targeted eisel terrorists all the details right after this short break. no one else chose seemed wrong. just don't call. me.

yet to shape out just to become educated and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians to. be put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. but you'd like to be close to see what the fuck three of them can't be good. interested always in the why. should.

walk them back to the program the pentagon has defended an airstrike on a mosque in syria last friday saying it was targeting islamic state militants inside reports suggest more than sixty civilians were killed in the attack and dares our province the syrian foreign ministry is now calling for international organizations to intervene in the u.s. led coalition's ongoing campaign there. brings us the details. 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 a mosque it was isis's 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 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 you are some true 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 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 silly define 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 that's just collateral. the investigation assessed that although all feasible precautions were taken unintended civilian casualties regrettably occurred 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 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. in germany tens of thousands have now signed a petition against a website where students are encouraged to report politically biased teachers the online portal neutral schools was first launched by the anti immigration alternative for germany party the d. it was designed to assess whether teachers are breaking neutrality rules by revealing their political tendencies but critics say it echoes one of the country's darkest chapters and if southie explains under pressure to perform in the classroom

about the. talk about student hat now because in germany teachers will be now being reported on by students anonymously the un team of parents all tend to fit. the bill and some of the what they call it will be. a plan to cut their costs and we found that quite a lot of teachers obviously not all. teachers but quite a lot of teachers they tend to convey a bias against all party. to their pupils and students school should be a neutral place i'll concede to she wanted to be in your killfile is and should not be a buy this place against one party or another according to the f.d.a. examples of those offenses think these educators criticizing days happen wearing t. shirts with anti party slogans or encouraging children to take part in the protests

to prove that point to the largest opposition party in the band the stark raving publishing consent of disgruntled students claiming that conservatives these may affect the great his student who like me needs very good grades is better off not expressing himself politically in school in germany a student with conservative views is muzzled since its launch the portal has received a huge response from teachers but an unexpected one because some want to be that listed voluntarily we will inform our students when members and officials of your party run racist anti-semitic or anti-democratic activities that endanger our peaceful coexistence and society we would be honored if you could put our names on their list of denunciations the countries justice minister has condemned the practice comparing it to the methods of the notorious form the secret police in a scam me the party says it's merely advocating jamie's preexisting neutrality bill

but others say it made mention of putting the ball but decided the classroom really a place for politics well they don't seem to think say we don't want to harm any teacher we want to create trouble we don't want to make life bearable for them but we want the schools to be in your cool place i don't think the political party should be launching such online portal i think that they don't want to eat. just to speak openly about nazi history of german and they want to stop that they want their version of political history to be taught in classroom throughout germany that's a recap of the world's top headlines at the moment for the details on all those stories and many more head to our website r t v dot com i'll be back in about thirty minutes with the latest thanks for tuning in.

to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on all sides very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time time to sit down and talk. this is says harlan kentucky. the employee says you can go green is very funny you. need. a co money since he was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal

mines are said i'd. love to see these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. when lawmakers manufactured him sentenced him to public wealth. when the roman club's assume protect themselves. when the famous merry go around the lifts only the one percent. doing all middle of the room signals. the room dream real news is

the way. those are this is the guys report of the show that takes you down deep to worse bunged lives and then drowns stacey hey max you know here in kaiser report we often cover things that are not part of the orthodoxy we are we cover heterodox economics and things that are not part of what the mainstream media might say so this is quite alarming for a mainstream media headline and it's from peter coy business editor economics

editor i'm sorry it bloomberg and his headline reads the tyranny of the u.s. dollar the incumbent international currency has been american for decades is it time for regime change and it's a very bizarre just two paragraph article and it doesn't really say anything other than this sort of paragraph by the latest tally of the european central bank america's currency markets make up two thirds of international debt and alike share of global reserve holdings oil and gold are priced in dollars and euros or yen when somali pirates hold up ships at sea as dollars they demand and threats to be cut off from the dollar base global payment system strike terror into the life of iran north korea and russia it's no exaggeration to say that the dollar's primacy is at least as valuable to the us as a couple of aircraft carrier strike group well there's a direct correlation between air strike carrier groups and the dollar the dollar has no intrinsic value it has no trade.
