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 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 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 is a very important instrument of arms control and one the says european interests and therefore german interests as well. i think it has also become clear this week hand that nato will have to address the 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 design makan is going to europe that is our goal the usa will avoid withdrawing 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 is crucial for europe's and global security so the fact that a thirty year old treaty is now an dariel revolt a former italian m.p.

an international relations analyst says trump won't listen to europe as he's 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 are thinking about and so i'm not so sure that the european the voice or the voice of the different european counties can convince him. to get back we have to add one other thing that most probably the most the real reason for which a tramper made that statement is due to the mid-term elections that we are going to he's going to have in the beginning november and. i think that more than a for international reason it was if you will to internal resources that this season. the season of america arrived.

a british man is suing the u.s. army claiming he was exposed to a dangerous chemical substance on a military base david patterson says he came into contact with cadmium a carcinogenic that may also affect the central nervous system blood tests revealed that he has a high level of the toxin the first hearing on his case is due to take place later this week i have neither received or medication for stress or high blood pressure and other ongoing things i want to know that i am not ill i do not have some chicken bone 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 riskier to try to than it was and to your other parts of your body it could take a month a year it could take you up to five years but be in

a house that jenny is very windy weather is a small part or a lot of like we worked on the floor for two weeks without any protection in may of last year david who was working as a contractor was inspecting equipment at the base and he says boxes were covered in a white dust but no warning was given as to the nature of the powder stuff or 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 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 u.s. army going back to two thousand and eight when i asked about who's going to assist

on medical checks and is it. they just simulated whether just. no i was not my problem go see someone else it was like i hope that it will be passed from one to another to another until i eventually had to go to my own doctors myself and pay for all my own medical expenses we breathed this count me in and we don't know what was happening to us it will happen when it will happen and hope mine will be no one no one seems to give no one is cheating 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 just have a blood tested every one is ducking and diving a no one is cheating responsibility. the u.s. army and the firms involved are yet to respond to requests for further comment on this report well update you as soon as we hear from them.

as we wait for turkey's president to brief parliament on the murder of dissidents saudi journalist jamal khashoggi and reveal the quote naked truth u.s. treasury secretary stephen newton has met with the heir to the saudi throne crown prince mohammed and so money they both stressed the importance of their country's strategic partnership with them as the talks come amid outrage directed at the saudis after they confirmed 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 yes maybe the course never with the details. after weeks of denying it saudi arabia confirms jamal khashoggi was murdered inside its consul eight and estimable the vigils 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 to the government 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 town doing 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 hold russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder is kate is culpable quarrel is

with putin's credit 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. of the russia including sanctions on very could. we interval interrupt our report to go live to the turkish parliament as the president is giving the details of turkey's probe into the killing of the saudi. and the saudi consulate in store instead let's take a listen to what he asked say be beneficial for our party for our nation for our country last week in. a beautiful week we. will visit we went to the old. as a first stop in moldova we met with the president though done. and

the president the prime minister. and then the chairman of the political party of the prime minister and then many other officials of course we held very fruitful meetings with all of them. for us. the goals locality is a part and parcel of the country and there we met with our kinsmen we had to go to full exchanges with them we attended different events and there was a town hall meeting of about fifteen thousand people. that was mostly composed of our kids men. and we had the opportunity of. doing the inaugural ceremonies of many. projects which we built and these are gifts from the turkish nation to our relatives who are kinsmen

living over there. a while ago we also visited hungary and we came back with beautiful memories of that visit as you know there is the good baba shrine the. holy place which was restored which was. rebuilt if you will brought back to its glory days in a sense so wherever we go in the balkans and eastern europe wherever we go in this part of the world we are always met with heartfelt emotions and greetings of the people living there and as we have always said our physical boundaries are one thing but the boundaries of our heart or the influence area of our hearts are something else and without. friends with our brothers and sisters with our kinsman who are within the second within the latter of these boundaries our relations with

them we are now bringing these relations back up to their design level after many centuries after a very long time and when we take a step our internet cutis take three five steps towards us and this goes to show that they also harbor the same affection the same positive feelings for us and i do hope and believe that this contact will get closer and closer and with our friends we will continue to build a safe and prosperous future together on friday i was in is mr such a day in the albuquerque and on sunday in istanbul i attended a number of different events came together with our citizens we had proved tool exchanges and in his mission we actually did the inaugural ceremony for the star refinery which is a very critical piece of a measurement for a country the azerbaijanis state oil company. invested six point three

billion u.s. dollars in the star refinery and now it's up and functioning in our country. now when you look at it as a whole this. brings azerbaijani investment in turkey or into presents rather an investment of ten billion u.s. dollars including all of its aspects and different components all with my dear brother a home we were together at the opening ceremony and i do hope and wish that this investment will be beneficial for turkey and azerbaijan of course in this actually it is one of the biggest oil facilities or refined the reason of all of your of the middle east and north africa with this facility our current account deficit will actually shrink by one point. five billion dollars we will be looking at two hundred fourteen thousand barrels per day and a total of ten million crude oil per year and we are also looking at one point six

million cubic meters of storage space diesel nat'l in jet fuel and l.p.g. and similar other oil and petroleum products will be produced in this refinery. and for their support in making this investment a reality i would like to go ahead and thank once again my dear brother mr the president of azerbaijan on a personal note and on behalf of my nation thank you. so this facility has you know. it's a long story of course at the beginning of it all we had a privatization we could mean the transfer to azerbaijan possible and then i harbor was also built in the following phases also at the same area more or less so we have a wind energy church binds and facilities built so it's

a great facility all in all these on saturdays we were in our new stadium city stadium of thirty three thousand people we had a youth festival we had athletes and young people from the city we had teams of politicians with vs athletes and the match the game if you will that the starting kick i did the starting of myself and on the same day we met with our booker organization of our political parties was representatives of n.g.o.s on sunday if i was in istanbul. initially for the inauguration of the new h.q. premises of the turkish association foundation to me to go and we met with young people and that was followed by our meeting with prime. ministers whom stand of combo dia that actually was the first visit of that level from cambodia to our own

cunt to our country and then we had the ceremony for the opening of the second phase of escape that is without a check maker metro line which consists of nine point five kilometers and seven stations that's is between iranian and czech maker so these investments of ours to solve the transportation problems in stumble will continue without a break and the ceremony for this metro line we had about twenty thousand people alice indeed. a scene that was indeed a sight to behold and of course we will not stop who will not leave it at there and by the end of march twenty nine thousand we will be continuing the series of opening ceremonies if you will so each of the cities that i am just listed are of symbolic value for our country and this is of course this is also a picture of a unity of togetherness of solidarity of our nation coming together and taking

ownership of their fate and here and i would like to now go ahead and extend my gratitude to my citizens in all three cities i mentioned for their hospitality and for warmly welcoming us. dear friends now in this part of our parliamentary group meeting i would like to go ahead and talk about. he is state of the journalist shogi who now we know for certain was murdered in the consulate of saudi arabia in istanbul and i will try and be thorough in my assessment of what happened first of all i would like to honor the memory of the late joe marcus short gave me his role as the soul rest in peace and i extend my condolences to his fiancee. to his family to his friends to the people of saudi arabia off which he was a citizen and to the media world in general now let's do

a refresh of our memory if you will as regards what has happened. for the first time on two twenty eight of the september friday at eleven fifty goes into the chief counsel that of the saudi arabia in istanbul for marriage. related reasons and it is now understood that this visit of kushal gear was actually in was with the information was given to the team that planned and executed the murder of the journalists or that was the beginning of that planning base and some consulate officers officials actually left for their countries in a haste and this point in the direction that some preparation work was in the done on october first at sixteen thirty. a day before the operation monday that is. half past four in the afternoon

a team of three. comes to istanbul through a schedule quite a commercial flight they go to a hotel first and then to the consulate so in the meantime another team of people from the consulate. goal on an exploration mission to the belgrade forest and to the city of yellow but on the second the folks over at one forty five am at a team of three people again took a scheduled flights to istanbul and went to their hotel for a third team of nine people including generals took a private plane landed at the at the airport and went to another hotel for the night so overall the team we're looking at is a total of fifteen people and this team of people from nine hundred fifty to eleven . am they come in different groups to the consulate and meet there. they first thing they do is to remove the hard disk in the camera system of the

consulate and in the mean time. it was a telephone at eleven fifty to confirm his appointments on that day the sent on the same day early hours. from london to istanbul and enters. into the consular building at thirteen zero zero eight. the fiance was with him at that point in time and after that point in time no information was obtained from him no news of him came out at seventeen fifteen that day in the evening hours these the unsafe. resorts to the official authorities of our country telling the authorities that mr kushal he was being held at the consular building against his will and that something bad might have happened to him upon which the relevant unit of the

director general of the turkish national police in istanbul start the investigation today have a look at the security cameras examine the footage and it becomes certain at that point in time that mr crow shogun in the did not leave the consular building and of course as per the convention they have diplomatic immunity but of course now that's also being discussed. also made a statement about this point so this vienna convention will probably need to be discussed and revised so due to this diplomatic immunity initially no concrete step was taken these are the building and to the officials of the consular consulate so the church national police and our intelligence starts looking into the matter. and the office of the stumble chief public prosecutor appoints a and acting prosecutor and they initiate the investigation of course as in more

in-depth information is collected things started getting interesting first of all starting from the day prior to the day of the murder different planes were taken by a total of fifteen solid the safety intelligence and forensics experts who came to our country six of this team. leave on october second at eight hundred twenty seven of them leave on the same day at twenty two hundred fifty taking private planes and also another person who was given the impression on the the look of mr demarcus shogi with his outfit but his glasses and the beard this individual and the individual accompanying him also took a scheduled flight after midnight to react and on the day of the incident the

personnel working at the consulate consulate and the residence were gathered together and the explanation given to them was that there was an inspection going on them and they were relieved they were let go that day they were asked to leave so the administration of saudi arabia first rejected the claims on october fourth that kushal your was killed and the consulate officer actually invited on october sixth a correspondent of reuters inside the consulate building and he opens and closes and doors a whole lot of cupboards the utility panes and different areas of the consular office but of course that was done in a manner that was far from being serious but in the meantime our national police our intelligence services our prosecution services. can. continue to concentrate on their investigation see a painting of affirmation and documentation and our ministry of foreign affairs

also was in constant communication with their counterparts to discuss the issue and to share information. on october eleventh there was a group of special representatives who came to our country from saudi arabia and different contacts were made with them and of course after the matter being kept on the engender by our community by our press community by our the global media focusing on this issue the consular services. allowed at the consular premises to be searched of course dear friends we have to ask certain questions and find answers to these questions because this incident happened in istanbul and we have as a result of responsibility so we asked people of responsibility. we have the right to ask these questions the shadow as things start to

clarify of course other countries started taking action and at every opportunity of course we made it clear that we will not remain silent in the face of this murder and we will take every step required by our conscience and by the lot. on top of that of course we had to wait for the end of the examinations and investigation so that we would not pull seem cream in eight anyone his excellence in the king of saudi arabia someone bin abdulla's is the custody of the two holy mosques we had a phone conversation with him for the first time on the fourteenth of october and i explained to him the present situation in light of information we had at that point in time and during this telephone conversation. i actually. explain to him the talks we had with the special delegation of representatives he had previously sent and i informed them of our joint decision to

have a joint investigative group and we had an agreement on the fact that this would be to pass to follow up on the instructions of the king. teams from the prosecution service and from to our traditional national police went into the consular premises and it's some examination of course before that it was not allowed by the consular officials and. when that first team of representatives came and talked to me and i explained certain things to the city i'm a representative to how insufficient any and incompetent disconsolate or the consul was and i can make the same message to his excellency the king as well so after that conversation the following day the consul general was removed from his position in the meantime the consul general while he was in istanbul perhaps to go back to his country he left so there was another round of examinations in the

consular premises on the eighteenth of october on the nineteenth of october that is to say seventeen days after the murder should the saudi administration officially admitted that jamal khashoggi was murdered inside the consular premises inside the consular building in the statement from the administration it was mentioned that shogi died during a brawl that erupted in the building on the same day. in later hours of the day i had another phone conversation with the king salman bin abdulla says he told me that after the acknowledgment of the murder eighteen people who were in implicated were arrested that was information he provided to. and the individuals on the list that was provided to our country while we found out that they were the

same names as determined by our security and national intelligence services so the team of fifteen people plus three others these three others. were already consular officials so of course this development is important and in the sense that the murder was officially acknowledged and accepted on the twenty first of october i have a comprehensive phone conversation with president trump of the united states of america. and we had an agreement that the incident needs to be clarified in all of its aspects is of course as the government of turkey is the state of turkey we have handled this whole process in compliance with the seriousness of the state matters and affairs international law and the legislation of our country despite this being the case of course. certain media outlets conduct at a campaign in order to blame our country and implicate our country and to shift the

focus shift the attention of the people and we know full well who was behind this campaign and what their purpose was course these attempts to assess an aide in the . in. the nature of the seriousness that we have our country has shown has not kept us from fully investigating what has happened. well before everything. this murder yes was indeed committed in the saudi consular building which is considered as saudi soil but one must not forget that that area is real then the boundaries of the republic of turkey. also the.
