twelve euros fifty a month. turkey's president says. she was the victim of a vicious murder and that is killing in the. planned. right here to the agreement should have been done years ago but still people come here and we have more money than anybody else but we'll build it up. to ramp up america's nuclear capabilities are decades old disarmament treaty with russia that's of his national security adviser is right now here in moscow meeting with president putin. about a british man suing the u.s. army after being exposed to toxic chemicals while working as a contract at

a military base we speak directly with him. just this one just on medical checks. the gist of your lives as well just look at. someone else. six pm tuesday afternoon here in moscow and my name is kevin o. and this is out international's big story making headlines again today continues to roll on the turkish president now today say the saudi dissident journalist was murdered in a vicious manner in a pre planned operation is new line in today should she was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul at the beginning of october riyadh denied any knowledge of the institute for over two weeks earlier in the studio to tell us more about what's going on today and to map it all out. most people thought that president erred was

and will shed light on the details probably even groundbreaking details that could have been revealed by his investigators it is stay a 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. the evidence that we have so far indicates that you molecules shot jews was slain in a vicious violent murder did over those responsible from the highest level to the lowest level who brought to justice and will get the punishment they deserve incident was not a moment to resource but rather of the result of a planned operation right to recover people who 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 they cause. 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 to 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 he's watching 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 saw and 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 seven days passed since the actual birth or happened tobar second before the saudi officials admit it happened within the walls of their called so much has gone on a 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 see like. terrible 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 he'll be able to get to the bottom fairly well and i 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 early 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 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. we have the ramifications continue dozens of foreign investors have really pulled out of a high profile economic forum in saudi arabia as international pressure continues to mount a bit over the. sensitive some of the a bag. of communication boycotting that event over the saudi crown prince didn't bring up or the company's declining to show all of them in the case and he didn't have much of wood to say as he briefly made an appearance. from so. don't trust national security adviser john bolton's meeting with russian president vladimir putin in moscow these pictures just in it comes just a day off to the american president thread to build up the united states nuclear arsenal until quote people come to the senses so a free vote to scrap the nuclear treaty with russia that's been in force for almost three decades. 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 got this when they. were old guard. and by the way not only. the treaty in question the i.m.f. for 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 he's not using that bold type of language that we're hearing from trump the united can. 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 our 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 of syria's 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 the issue thoroughly including at the upcoming meeting next week germany will actively contribute to the discussion because it was dead in favor of the preservation of this treaty and we stand for a working desirable mechanism in europe that is our goal which will help 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. may the story of a british man who's taking on the u.s. military over claims that he was exposed to a dangerous chemical he's received his latest test results but it seems that david paterson says he has high levels of cadmium in his body that's a carcinogen that can damage the central nervous system the first hearing in the case reports at least two to take place later this week i received or medication or stress or high blood pressure and other

ongoing saying i want to know all 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 that it was into your other parts of your body it could take up once a year it could take up to five years but be in a house that jenny is very worrying whether it's a small part or a large part like we worked on the floor for two weeks without any protection or more of the story here in may last year david who was working as a contract to that he says was inspecting equipment at the base further he says boxes were covered in a white dust but no warning was given as to what that dust was all the nature of the powder star for working with no protective gary says and it wasn't until a year later that the u.s. army told him it was cadmium david filed a lawsuit after that he was sacked for complaining about the instant 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 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 sent me away and said whether just it's not 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 cadmium in and we don't know what's happening to us it'll happen when a lot and how bad it will be no one no one seems to give 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. you know gets out of here coming up pay or the u.k. government says it's keeping fake music pay despite concerns in westminster out on a recent report that more ninety seconds. but also seems wrong. i don't recall just don't call. me i'll get to see fall out this day come down to. it in detroit because the

trail. went something to find themselves worlds apart wait lists of the common ground. good job to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. we simply want to. get you going. this is what. three of the more people. interested in the war.

again this is international exactly quarter past six months ago time the u.k. government has said it's winning its fight against this information of fake news in response to a special parliamentary report but the committee behind the document says britain isn't doing enough to battle foreign influence come pains and meddling auntie's of the situation is the latest on. the british government's detailed response into this latest dissent from mission and seek 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 fixed news for almost two years now and the chairman of this committee has consistently pushed for more action when it comes to speak news seeing it as a threat to democracy and specifically in the u.k.

and particularly a threat from russia and 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 breaths that referendum but now that the government has had the time to analyze that the recommendations that this committee has published they said there is 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 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 any successful foreign interference

well moreover the british government was not just underwhelmed when it came to the rochelle legations but according to the committee they had actually outright accepted only three out of the dozens of recommendations that were made in this fifty interim report being presented by this committee and it has to be said that one thing they did these two parties agree upon was the defense that the term think news has become redundant and really lost its meaning in this damage nonetheless 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. let's go back to one of our top stories now the u.s. is going to pull out one of those key nuclear treaties with russia has got some won't comment on it because of course john bolton over here in moscow today in fact talking to president putin the moment shows a lot with russia john laughlin's on the line from the paris based think tank

instituted democracy in cooperation hey there thanks for being with us so the u.s. president took a tough public stand about the treaty behind the scenes those national security advisor john bolton who just heads in moscow right now as being having a very a series of talks with high ranking people here including the president he seems to be full of herd so for a bit more conciliatory saying that that's actually the case and i think washington will still push ahead with scrapping the agreement after that trip here to moscow right now or not could something else be brewing. well we don't know we'll wait to hear from the news reports if there are any and i imagine they won't give us a lot of information but yes my answer your question is yes i do think bolton is being conciliatory and frankly i think trump is being conciliatory not of course in his tone but you know that's trumps stick trump very often in foreign policy and maybe in domestic policy as well says things which are designed to throw all the cards up in the air to put his opponents and rivals on the defensive to make himself talked about he's been president for two years now we've been talking about

almost nothing else but from and then to see what he can get out of the new situation that he's created that he's created let's not forget only a few months ago at the g. twenty in in the g. seven story in canada you'll remember that he flew off to korea shortly after that and had a blazing row with canada and attacked just intruder the canadian prime minister well only yesterday they've now signed a new trade agreement with canada so on the basis of that precedent it could be that he came out all guns blazing on the i.n.f. treaty immediately in fact sent john bolton and they may well be working towards some kind of new agreement because let's not forget before the helsinki summit this summer repeatedly said that he wanted arms agreements with russia and you know either he's completely schizophrenia or he is playing a very together you're saying there but of course. you know the whole thing that

you know you can't cry wolf too often surely that kind of part was really true is going to be called out at some point the russians are no fools let's face it worst case scenario with no treaty in place what kind of threat could that be to current balance of world power. well obviously america has a full spectrum dominance and. you know trump has repeatedly said he wants to maintain that he wants to maintain a position in which no country can come even near or even group of countries can come near challenging american power so i think that's a very clear line in terms foreign policy but equally i think we have to give him some credit i think trump is a realist in international relations a very vehement realist what i mean by that is that he thinks that international relations and maybe commercial relations as well are determined by force and the treaties come about when there is agreement but agreement comes about when there is

a balance of power or at least a relationship before the cause of words if he sat there at the cost of isolating europe maybe to britain came out pretty quickly said yeah we're behind this but the rest of europe is actual power because you know more and more britain seems to be out of it have slammed trumps move is washington going to face significant backlash over this and what about relations because end of the day these short medium term missiles that this is all about would be the ones that could potentially be it in europe. yes i totally agree with that and i think that there is an argument for saying that america does not have an interest in withdrawing from this treaty because with the treaty it can prevent russia if what russia were to want to from deploying these intermediate range missiles but you're absolutely right kevin to ask the question about europe because in this respect as well it could be that america is shooting itself in the foot let's not forget that mccall and merkel are

going to next week to talk to mr putin and mr erdogan about syria this was unthinkable only a few months ago the europeans do not like trump ism in foreign policy they prefer the world of multilateral treaties international agreements and so on it drives them crazy it makes them very scared this kind of thing so in that sense you're quite right on the other hand i don't think that trump cares about the europeans i think trump does care about the big guys russia china and so on he doesn't really mind up setting the europeans and above all let's not forget that the main country that america is interested in and this may be the key by the way is israel and therefore the iran deal the nuclear missile deal and so on that is the main axis of american foreign policy in and i think the russian thing the international the intermediate. nuclear forces treaty is probably linked to his denunciation of

the iran treaty the iran nuclear treaty which itself of course has a knock on effect in other areas of arms control john thank you for your thoughts always good to see you on the program john not one from the paris based think tank used to democracy in cooperation she's. thank you we'll talk of europe as we work next story from germany tens of thousands of signed a petition against a website where students are encouraged to report politically biased teaches seems the online portal neutral schools was first launched by the anti immigration alternative in germany f d party it was designed in theory to assess whether teachers of breaking neutrality rules by revealing their political tendencies but huge but critics say it echoes one of the country's darkest chapters and the reports. under pressure to perform in the classroom it was about the fun talking about students head that teaches the south because in germany teachers political views are now being reported on by students anonymously beyond the immigrants all

tend to fit to me posses but i can bet let some of the see what they call let's call the trouble to make tons of funding because 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 party. to their pupils and students school should be a neutral place i'll concede to she wanted to be in your case and it should not be by this place against one party or another according to the f.a.a. examples of those offensive things 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 concerns of disgruntled students claiming that conservatives these 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 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 the secret police in a jam or me the pope. he says it's merely advocates from jamie craig fifteen the trial if you will but others say. that putting the ball but the side of the classroom really a place of politics. they say we don't want to teach we want to

create trouble we don't want to make life horrible for them but we want schools to be in your 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 just some a story to see more there's so much more. here in moscow for now it's kevin i am saying thanks for watching.

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 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 value trade value has collapsed ninety seven percent since it was launched a nineteen thirteen and.
