if you don't. want to come to some people your business leaders are going to. be. right out of 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 donald trump threatens to ramp up america's nuclear capabilities after vowing to scrap a decades old disarmament treaty with russia. also this hour the us treasury secretary sits down with the saudi crown prince after dismissing any talk of sanctions following the murder of a dissident journalist as premature. and a british man sues the u.s. army after being exposed to toxic chemicals while working as a contractor at a military base we speak to the whistleblower. when i was just

a bunch of usually just on medical checks and as they just in their lives as well and just look you just don't like what you see someone else. this is our team to national coming to you live from moscow where it's just turned eleven am this tuesday 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 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 that when they do then we'll all be barred. and 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 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 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. 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 therefore german interests as well. and i think it has also become clear this we can that nato will have to address that issue thoroughly including at the upcoming meeting next week germany will actively contribute to the discussion because we stand in favor of the preservation of this treaty and we stand for a working desire of american is going to europe that is our goal the usa will have withdrawn believe that the u.s. and russian. to remain engaged in constructive dialogue to preserve the treaty and to ensure. to ensure its cool 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 tree 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. may cross live now to javier morrow a french military expert and a founding member of straw poll an independent think tank based in slovakia that focuses on international relations and security policy you're very welcome to the program now what do you make of the recent statement by donald trump vowing a nuclear buildup in the states. well i think we don't need reacting on each. declare ration because we need to get used to this kind of. strong strong declaration but let's see what. in my opinion sergey lavrov action was a good one and i would add to that we need to but russian in

the. election context because a. lot needs to give something to a republican. party especially to the people inside his party thinking that trying to. and i would like to again that in my opinion do not. is not talking about. a treaty but more about the new russian weapons that were presented by vladimir putin six months ago so i think we have to do to keep. the. cold blued if i can tell consenting cease this declaration and what will happen again. not for it's not the first time if you remember the nelson korean problem it's in the first times i don't know from such strong declaration and. you

could give back maybe in a week about the same question now the interim does put a strong emphasis on the military in the us if he were to make good on his word do you think that that could pose a threat to the current balance of powers. actually the balance of power is a strongly in favor of the united states you can compare for instance the u.s. budget defense u.s. budget with the russian one it's been more than ten times higher so. do not firm doesn't need to increase. doesn't need to increase the nuclear weapons as senator ron paul said i told you so you with. the poor of destroying ten times the planet so actually again i think we have to take

in consideration so i do not like such declaration and that within three weeks there will be some election very important election for the republican party any to convince. his party that you need to. is not the progression president the supposed to be the pact was of course decades ago do you think it's still relevant in today's world given the advances in weapons technology. i think if it's relevant and maybe there isn't as a problem for the not for. the new russian weapons which represented by then to be put in six months ago. actually maybe there is some technological gap between this weapon and what the us can do so maybe it's a sign. it's a way to tell russia. that washington will continue

to follow this so we're playing the race but not to. be. butting in question do i and if twenty but more trying to get hypersonic weapons trying to get such a nuclear. in gene for a rocket system and any kind of such a weapon because in my opinion in some very specific technology call. the russian are. the best. on the best technological capacity of the us javier morrow french military expert thank you so much for joining us on the program and thank you for your comments. as the killing of dissidents saudi journalist jamal khashoggi it continues to send shock waves across the globe u.s.

treasury secretary steven newton has met with the heir to the saudi throne crown prince mohamed bin saul mom they both stressed the importance of their country strategic partnership not the talks come amid outrage directed at the saudis after they confirm the murder of khashoggi at their 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 caution about. 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 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 happened 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 am 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 the two poles russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder is k. 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 us

reserve the russia including sanctions on very contrived reasons without any evidence provided of russia allegedly using chemical weapons but there's no evidence of what steps are being taken against russia and now we see a murder and what 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 what's stopping them now. they are ordering military quo. 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 on this one of those you look at the months is

also did that happen that the saudi consulate in turn 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 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 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 out of tune towards the saudis who 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 covered 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 in the 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 paterson's latest blood test results confirm 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 who received or medication for

stress or high blood pressure and other ongoing saying 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 sites they really cannot see in the they have higher blood cadmium level than i did it goes and through the body it's risky to try to that it was and to your other parts of your body it could take a month a year or it could take up to five years but be in a house that janet is very very whether it's a small part or a lot of like we worked on the floor for two weeks without any protection. and may of last year david who was working as a contractor was inspecting equipment at the base he says boxes were covered in a white dust but no warning was given as to the nature of the powder staffer 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 not change 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 in 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 no. this is had been a problem ongoing with the us army going back to two thousand and eight when i asked about who's going to assist on medical checks and is that they just sent me away and said whatever just not here not i was not my problem go see someone else it was like a hot potato being passed from one to another to another until i eventually had to go to my own doctors fight myself and pay for all my own medical expenses we

breathed this count me in and we don't know what's happening to us it will happen when all how can and how bad it will be no one no one seems to care no one is taking responsibility no 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 fight just have a blood tested everyone is ducking and diving a no one is taking responsibility the u.s. army and the firms involved are yet to respond to our requests for further comment on this update us soon as we hear from them. still to come in the program the u.s. defends a recent airstrike in syria that killed dozens of civilians are part of later saying it targeted high school terrorists all the details on that story and more right after this short break.

what holds if you should continue to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. you somehow want to be rich. but you're going to be the first to see what before three of the people get. interested always in the water. pressure. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for them to you shouldn't let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only relief i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

i mean. this is art international welcome back to the program 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 a.f.p. it was designed to assess whether teachers are breaking new trial the rules by revealing their political tendencies but critics say it echoes one of the country's darkest chapters and explains the profits of a film in the classroom nevis about the whole i'm not talking about student head that teaches the south to consent to many teachers that school fees are now being reported on by students anonymously beyond the immigrants tend to fit to me posses

but i can bend them. some of the so what they call lists could be trying to make tons and tons of books because we found that quite a lot of teachers obviously not all teachers but quite a lot of teachers. tend to convey a bias against all party. to their pupils and students school should be a neutral place ok if you wanted to be in your case. should not be a biased place against one party or another according to the f.d.a. example since those offenses think these educators criticizing days have been 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 concerns of disgruntled students claiming that conservatives these may affect their grades a 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 button 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 of comparing the methods of the notorious for the secret police in a scare me the party says it's merely advocating jamie's preexisting neutrality bill but others say it mentions the 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 have any teacher we want to create trouble we don't. i want to make life horrible for them

but we want schools to be a new cool place i don't think the political party should be launching such a online portal i think that they don't want to just speak openly about nazi history of german and they want to stop that they want their aggression of political history to be taught in classrooms throughout germany. 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 bears are province the syrian foreign ministry is now calling for international organizations to intervene in the u.s. led coalition's ongoing campaign. brings us the details 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 the 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 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. 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 here 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 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 to for 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. that's a recap of the world's top headlines at the moment for the details on all of those stories and many more at our website r.t.
