you know. i. was the victim. here. years ago but people come. by. donald trump. america's nuclear capabilities. decades old treaty with russia. covering two story about a british man suing the u.s. army after being exposed to toxic chemicals working as a military base we speak directly to the. story.

just above just on medical checks. he just says he always says well just look at this look like. they're just a four pm tuesday afternoon at moscow's art international with me stay with me for next thirty minutes or so to take through the big news of the day starting with this one the. president says saudi dissident journalist was murdered in a vicious manner in a pre-planned operation because she was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul beginning of october riyadh denied any knowledge of the institute for over two weeks earlier. in the studio to try bit more of this for us. most people thought that president air dog will shed light on the details probably even

groundbreaking details that could have been revealed by investigators it is stab hole 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 mom because shot jews was 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 but 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 saying

are responsible for this three people of the qods. group of fifteen people were set from saudi arabia although mr aired 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 a bit of information that the body was given to a local operative who is he it's not an order. person saudi arabia needs to reveal 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 in 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 u.s. 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 a second visit to the cause that happened on october the second that was when the tragedy happened.

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

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 soon going to 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 finished their review 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 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 i spoke with the edge member gash a former member of the took his palm and told me there are still many questions to be answered is the probe is was the still ongoing. 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 mylan to kill and we don't even know where is remains are so there are many questions that need to be answered and present. the saudi kingdom for full 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 percent now

he has questioned chancellor merkel of germany has announced that they will not sell any military equipment to saudi arabia until this issue to resolve this is a question about justice global justice human rights. don't trump a threat the build up of the united states nuclear arsenal until quote people come to the senses the early of discrepancy play a 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. 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 is 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 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 very shy of an 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. you spoke to a french military expert who's the founder of the struct paul think tank he says troubles move might be based on russia's recent military announcements. there isn't

as a problem for that the new russian weapons which represented by that we put in six months ago. actually maybe there is some technological gap between this weapons and what the us can do so maybe it's a sign. it's a way to tell russia. that washington will continue to to follow this is so weapon race but not on. the. butting in question i n f twenty but more trying to get hypersonic weapons trying to get such a nuclear engine or a rocket system and there any kind of such a weapon because in my opinion in some very specific

technological. the russian are. the best. on the best the technological capacity that the u.s. . u.k. parliament is given its response to a special report on this information of news the media committee beyond the documents stressed a concern that west moves to wasn't doing enough to defend the country from foreign influence of meddling let's see what our correspondent in london and this is the church has picked up on this what are the take us through it all this is about them well given the other british governments detailed response into this latest dissin from asian and feet news interim report that was published by the digital culture media and sport committee released back in july has now published its response to that and that has left m.p.'s here in westminster quite disappointed so if we try to break it all down a little bit we have this parliamentary select committee that has been working on

an inquiry and feet news for almost two years now and the chairman of this committee has consistently pushed for more action when it comes to feet news seeing it as a threat to democracy and specifically in the u.k. and particularly a threat from russian this committee has tried to dig up proof of any involvement and interference from russia when it comes to elections specifically the last general election in the u.k. as well as the bracks that referendum but now that the government has had the time to analyze that the recommendations that this committee has published they said there's no russian interference let's take a look. in nov twenty seventh teen the prime minister accused russia of meddling in elections and planting fake news in an attempt to weaponize the information and so discord in the west we want to reiterate that the government has not seen evidence of successful use of this information by foreign actors including russia to influence u.k. democratic processes we recommend that the government makes

a statement about how many investigations are currently being carried out into russian interference in u.k. politics there has been no evidence to date of any successful foreign interference . well moreover the british government was not just underwhelmed when it came to the russia league ations but according to the committee they had actually outright accepted only three out of the dozens of recommendations that were made in this fifth interim report being presented by this committee and it has to be said that one thing they did to these two parties agree upon was the difference that the term fig news has become redundant and really lost its meaning in this day and age. of the last this committee is refusing to give up they are going to keep working on this topic and have said that they're planning to publish the final report on this issue towards the end of this year which will be read with great

interest. in the thanks for the update that come up here a lot international exposure to dangerous chemicals led one british man to fall a lawsuit against the u.s. army historian more rather. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of

the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. russia definitely on the deep dollar. as a sink camp they are warning gold they're building up gold as a play to de dollar rise they are looking for the dollar to. trade significantly lower. next a story about a british man who's taking on the us military of claims he was exposed to a dangerous chemical he's received his latest test results back david patterson says he's got high levels of cadmium in his body a carcinogen which can damage the central nervous system the first hearing the case reportedly is due to take place later this week i received or medication

for stress for high blood pressure and other ongoing to use 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 the have higher blood cadmium level than i did it goes and through the body it's risky to try to then 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 cast the journey is very watery whether it's a small part or a lot of like we worked on the floor for two weeks without any protection. in may last year david his contract was inspecting equipment parents at the base he says boxes were covered in a white dust but no warning was given as to the nature of what that white dust all powder was stuff working he says with no protective gear wasn't until years later

that the u.s. army told him it was this thing called cadmium david filed a lawsuit after he was sacked for complaining about the incident the army says it's now changed how it handles equipment. we know we won't earn your trust if we don't perform better so we 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 frightened. 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. they just sent me away and said whatever just. now is not my problem go see someone else it was like i hope it will be the last one to another to another until i eventually had to go to my own doctor's spite of myself and pay for all my own medical expenses we breathed this can't be in and we don't know what's happening to us it will happen when

a lot and hope i will be no one no one seems to queue 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 fight just have a blood tested everyone is ducking and diving no one is teaching responsibility. the city manager has broken south africa is set 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 this doric injustices of apartheid for quite some time south africans have been really split into rival camps about this huge controversial issue series of protests by black citizens seeking better jobs and housing were held earlier this year main town the white farmers on the other side say they face rising violence no stemming from government plans to expropriate their land

investigative reporters group redfish shows more how this reformist bitter resentment across the country what's their full report instantly on you tube. throughout the way for john it's very hard training given by a former israeli soldier it's white farmer. the farmer see over there on the. 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 at the same time as a real risk to the interests of white farmers has emerged that of widespread

laundry form the one nine hundred thirty native land act forcibly stripped 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. economic freedom fighters who have pushed the issue onto the agenda we're going to take. whenever you like you to call a moment. 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 tense. this country's race is racist as being black. tama 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. only the black people in south africa have little access to law but many are forced to live in poverty stricken informal settlements like this one. just south of johannesburg they live in the shadows of. and have little access to basic services when he drains. you wonder where you can stand because the water's coming in fact downs but. government i just believe our government to make sure white people live their lives in peace and let people remain extruded we did heads of chicken and feet of chicken what is it that drumstick. white people.

we wonder drumstick one denies problem the chicken has. in germany tens of thousands of mossad a petition against a website where students are encouraged to report politically biased teaches the online portal neutral schools was first launched by the anti immigration alternative for germany f.t. party it was designed to try to assess whether or not teachers are breaking new trial if he rules by revealing their political tendencies but critics say actually it's echoing one of the country's darkest chapters as an issue ceci explains under pressure to perform in the classroom neville said about the pick on talking about student care but the system now the concern to many teachers clips coffee is now being reported on by students anonymously beyond the immigrant's all tend to fit in

the party but i can barely amount to what they call clips could be trying to make tons of fun they cost the 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 parties. to their pupils and students school should be a neutral place i'll concede to she wanted to. your co-pay is and should not be a buy this place against one party or another according to the f.d.a. example since those who defend facing these educators criticizing they have formed 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 stock or even publishing consent of disgruntled students claiming that conservatives these may affect a great 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 teaches 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 comparing it to the methods of the notorious form of secret police in east germany the party says it's merely advocating jamie's preexisting neutrality bill but others say it made mention of putting the ball but the side is the classroom really a place of politics well they say they feel they can say we don't want to bomb any

teacher we want to create trouble we don't want to make life bearable for them but we want schools to be in your cool place i don't think a political party should be launching such an 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. so i think the can so far this twenty third of october is coming to twenty five to seven minutes i suppose for i must go time here most because kevin i would say have a great rest of the day. 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 part children washington thank you so
