8:01 am
on medical checks. be just as. well just look at. someone else. who just turned three pm tuesday afternoon here in moscow this is not international with me kevin owens the big story making headlines again today it's really developed in the last hour or so the turkish president says dissident journalist jamal khashoggi was murdered in a vicious manner in a pre-planned operation because he was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul the beginning of october denied any knowledge of the instant for over two weeks earlier. in the studio with the latest today. most people thought
8:02 am
that president air dog will shed light on the details probably even groundbreaking details that could have been revealed by investigators it is stab bowl well he didn't instead his speech was more of a political message in which he basically made it clear that turkey skull footed that mr khashoggi these death was a preplanned political murder but. the evidence that we have so far indicates that your molecules shot jews were slain in a vicious violent murder over those responsible from the highest level to the lowest level who brought to justice and will get the punishment they deserve the incident was not a momentary resource rather of the result of a planned operation. we didn't see the whole thing you saw in the punishment the people who carried out this deserved are we any closer to knowing who he thinks who thinks the should go to is behind it he mentioned the people
8:03 am
responsible for this three people of the cause that. group of fifteen people were set from saudi arabia although mr aired on fell short of directly blaming the saudi royal family for this. still though he was clearly eager to put pressure on saudi arabia he made an outright bad to hold the perpetrators responsible for this and also came up with a list of direct questions for the saudi government who gave instructions to those people to come to istanbul why were the consulate premises not open to examination on that day or the following day we need an answer to this it's clear now it was a murder where is the body why do we still not have bit of information that the body was given to a local operative who is he snored in order. person saudi arabia needs to reveal
8:04 am
his identity so right now saudi arabia's earlier version that jamal khashoggi was killed as a result of some sort of brawl or a fist fight would really do after such comments made by mr of people picking up on this story before it all kicked off to a lot of people around the world the name jamal khashoggi was not particularly well known remind us who he is why he all this trouble around him jamal khashoggi is a journalist noted for his criticism of the saudi royal family he was flood to the us and was a columnist for washington post but in order to get married he had to go to the consulate bowl to get some documents side his second visit to the cause that happened on october the second that was when the tragedy happened.
8:05 am
so i just want to point out once again that's days passed since the actual burger happened a tobar second before the saudi officials admit it happened within the walls of their called sword so much is going on in. reaction has been around the world to this big story well i can tell you that the international community hasn't really been active in trying to hold saudi arabia to their accountability their reaction was pretty much. vague cautious or slow even if you want but perhaps the most
8:06 am
outstanding evolution of the assessment of what's going on was that of donald trump's let's have a look around to see like. terrible the disgusting about that if that were the case so we're going to have to see we're going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment but here be able to get to the bottom fairly well it'll have to be very severe i mean it's bad . but we'll see what happens is the reverse. i do i do i mean it's again it's early we haven't traditionally view or investigation but it's. i think it's a very important first step and it happened sooner than people thought it would happen. to the crown prince i am not satisfied with what i'm going back to president erred towards choose day speech apparently this was not only
8:07 am
a direct message to the saudi government but also to the international community to keep putting more pressure on saudi arabia so well we'll be watching what the international leaders are going to do now and also the saudi officials as well. gayle in here with me a bit earlier on i spoke to edgewood cash a former member of the turkish parliament and told me there are still many questions to be answered because the probe is of course ongoing still. turkey needs to find out what really happened all we want to justice and that's what the whole world wants and needs because an innocent man was killed and there are reports that he might even be milo to kill and we don't even know where is it manes are so there are many questions that need to be answered and present. the saudi kingdom. cooperation you see mr trump even president of the united states has been confused if you follow his statements first he was backing them hundred
8:08 am
percent he has questions such as look at the look germany has announced that they will not sell any military equipment to saudi arabia until does issue to solve this the question about justice global justice human rights. don't try to build up the united states nuclear arsenal until quote people come to the senses discraft the nuclear treaty with russia the support of fools for almost three decades right yes 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 this and when they do then we'll own the garden. and by the way not only will read 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
8:09 am
being constructed it was signed back in one thousand nine hundred seven it was seen as a key moment in ending the cold war deescalating the conflict between the usa and the soviet union now we know john bolton is at this moment in russia he has already met with the russian foreign minister as well as the russian national security council he is speaking rather vaguely about the possibility of a. new treaty being negotiated and he isn't exactly clear on what the united states is going to do he's not using that bold type of language that we're hearing from trump the united kingdom has spoken up in support of this action by the united states saying 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 that says european interests
8:10 am
and therefore german interests as well. i think it has also become clear this we can 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 mechanism in europe that is our goal the usa will avoid withdrawing believe that the u.s. and russia need to remain engaged in constructive dialogue to preserve the treaty and to ensure. to ensure its cool and verifiable implementation which of course is crucial for europe's and global security so the fact that a thirty year old treaty is now in question a treaty that was key in ending the cold war and the nuclear arms race this point still rising level of tension between the united states and russia dari a revolt or a former italian m.p. and international relations analyst no says trump will listen to europeans looking
8:11 am
to rezone countries mid-term elections that's what all the voice. agreeing. out on the same way the fact is that mr. looks to be less attentive to what european are thinking about it and so i'm not so sure that the european voice or the voice of the different european a guy. can convince him to to get back we have to add one other feature that most probably the most the real reason for which trump are made that statement is due to the mid-term elections that they are going to he's going to have in the beginning november and. i think that more of them are for international reason it was if you want to internal resources. the decision. season over america arrived. a british man is taking on the u.s. military of a claims he was exposed to

a dangerous chemical is received his latest test results by david patterson says he has high levels of cadmium in his blood it's a carcinogen which can damage the central nervous system first hearing of the cases you 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 ticking bomb inside my body b. my colleagues are still looking on sites they really cannot see in the. the have higher blood cadmium level than i did it was and through the body it's a risk or it's right that it was and to 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 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
8:13 am
last year david was a contract 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 what that powder was stuff he says working with no protective gear was until a year later that the u.s. army told him it was cadmium they haven't fought a lawsuit after he was sacked for complaining about the incident the army said it's now changed 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 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. 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 anything they just sent me away and said whatever just not here not is not my problem go see someone else it was
8:14 am
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 cadmium in and we don't know what's happening to us it will happen when all happen 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 and no one is taking responsibility. well a footnote to what he was saying there the u.s. firms involved yet to respond to a request for further comment on this from us if we do get in but i will of course update you on the story. it's. three moscow time this choose the head of the program the u.s. to friends a recent strike in syria that reportedly killed dozens of civilians saying.
8:16 am
put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express . what's it like to be this is what the books will. be good. interesting always in the water how. many tens of thousands of now signed a petition. against a website where students are encouraged to report politically biased teachers the online portal called neutral schools was first launched by the aunt immigration alternative to germany part of the day it was designed to assess whether or not teachers are breaking neutrality rules by revealing their political tendencies but critics say it echoes simply one of the country's darkest chapters lucia's sethi
8:17 am
explains and the pressure to perform in the classroom never about being done talking about students can be just as south because in germany teachers political views are now being reported on by students anonymously beyond the immigrants all tend to fit to me party but i can bet some of them to what they call let's go to the trouble to make plans to run this country 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 i'll concede once it took you. should not be a bias against one party or another according to the f.d.a. example since those are different things to be educated criticizing this form
8:18 am
wearing t. shirts with anti party slogans or encouraging children to take part in the protests to prove their point to the largest opposition party in the band the stark raving publishing concerns of disgruntled students claiming that conservative m.p.'s may affect their grades as students 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 when unexpected one because some want to be that listed voluntarily we will inform our students were. and members and officials of your party run racist anti-semitic or anti-democratic activities that in danger our peaceful coexistence in 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 the methods of the notorious for the secret police in east
8:19 am
germany the party says it's merely advocates and preexisting neutrality but others say it made mention of putting the ball but inside is the classroom really a place of politics well they say they say we don't want to bomb any teacher we want to create trouble we don't want to make life horrible for them but we want the schools to be a new cool place i don't think a 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 version of political history to be taught in classroom 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 that attack interest or province the syrian foreign ministry is now calling for international

organizations to intervene in the u.s. led coalition go in coalition campaign there were gusty of as the latest the massacres the united nations to get involved to investigate these u.s. led coalition airstrikes sixty odd civilians dead reportedly worth an investigation no which the pentagon is already preempting it wasn't their fault see that all these civilians died when they bombed a mosque it was isis is fault because the islamists went to a mosque. such dire misuse of the mosque is another example of their violation of the law of war and made the mosque a valid military target interesting reasoning by the same logic if isis fighters get treated the civilian hospital the us is well within its rights to level it but this sort of trigger happy attitude is costing hundreds of lives in july u.s.
8:21 am
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 who command is adamant it's strikes clearly hit the intended target 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
8:22 am
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 great a 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 silly define 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 if if you civilians die along the way well that's just collateral. the
