it's about. now. only right now in the russian capital meeting the u.s. national security advisor john bolton made those increased tensions between russia and the u.s. . claims will be leaving a key nuclear arms treaty. also in the headlines this tuesday evening the saudi royal family the relatives of killed journalist jamal khashoggi despite being suspects in the ongoing investigation that says the turkish president says the murder of the saudi. plan is at the early well in the run. and we've got as well as story from the u.k. a british guy who's suing the u.s. army after being exposed to toxic chemical ali says he was working as
12:01 pm
a contract at a military base. just to school just on medical checks. be just as he always is. just. as someone else. i just turned seven pm tuesday evening here in moscow welcomes art international long. we're going to go to the. story first i'm going to go to the bolts and putin meeting in a minute we got some new pictures coming to want to run show you the turkish president saying saudi distance journalist was murdered in a vicious manner in a pre-planned operation he was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul the beginning of october denied any knowledge of the incident over the last two weeks
12:02 pm
though of course earlier join me to try a bit more detail from when it happened to now. most people thought that president erred was and will shed light on the details probably even groundbreaking details that could have been revealed by investigators it is stab ole 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 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 the incident was not a momentary recent article but rather of the result of a planned operation right to recal people didn't see the whole thing you said the
12:03 pm
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 erred towards saying you are responsible for this three people of the cause that. 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 bit of information that the
12:04 pm
body was given to a local operative who is snot in 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 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 saw and a second visit to the cause that happened on october the second that was when the tragedy happened.
12:05 pm
so i just want to point out once again that's days passed since the actual burger happened tobar second before the saudi officials admit it happened within the walls of their calls for 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
12:06 pm
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 sounds like. terrible and 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 soon 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 finished our review or investigation but it's. i think it's a very important first step and it happened sooner than people thought it would have been. the ground for it i am not satisfied with what i'm going back
12:07 pm
to president aired towards choose day speech apparently this was all the direct message to the saudi government but also to the international community to keep putting more pressure on saudi arabia so we will be watching what the international leaders are going to do now and also the saudi officials as well all right well we can tell you the saudi royal family also has met with his son and brother to express condolences that's a new line in literally this journalist summers pictured shaking hands with the saudi crown prince who suspected vocus trading the killing of his father and with the king quite annoyed meeting that is the picture of it there are reports that because chuckie's son is not allowed to travel outside the kingdom meantime dozens of top business executives have pulled out of a high profile economic forum in saudi arabia as international pressure continues to mount over the journalist but crown prince mohammed didn't bring up the no shows
12:08 pm
all the murder case in fact saving mode very much at all as he briefly made an appearance at that conference that was that earlier on while his supporters swarmed him for a selfie opportunity as you can see. we keep covering that now this one our top story russian president vladimir putin's meeting with the u.s. national security advisor john bolton in moscow we want to turn these latest pictures right here they are these are him from the kremlin that's happening now despite the air of tension surrounding the two countries right now the only still managed to find a bit of a time for a joke or two. good to be is the image that that is the. solution in the end of it in the field of the work for the new. congress not merely if you. believe. if you go to the question. surely if you feel it was told yesterday take the steel looks like you eagle this
12:09 pm
is normally always sound and what is not because you can hear mr. bush and i'm grateful for the opportunity to speak with you on behalf of president and hopefully i'll have some answers for you but i didn't bring any more all of. them that's what the books are. all jokes aside some serious stuff being discussed of course as. he goes down off so that they could not talk about all of this they go what's being said by both sides in all seriousness it's a big meeting. and judging by what's come out so far from both sides well it was a rather general discussion with the russian president for example he said he was perplexed by washington taking keeping it by the fact that washington keeps taking unfriendly steps towards russia even at least according to the putin while moscow even barely responses and it's also kind of reminisce to his meeting with
12:10 pm
the president in finland in. saying that that was a rather hard talk but also at the same time a very productive discussion russia's president urged more meetings like this such conversations he said were very useful to pushing diplomacy john bolton agree that it is important to find common ground when it comes to cases like this and indeed hinted at a potential meeting between putin and trump in the future how to listen. and appreciate your taking the time to get together. it will be pleased to go over all the items on your agenda and to begin as you indicated i think president trump would look forward to seeing you in paris on the sidelines of the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the armistice because despite our differences which exist because of our different national interests it's still important to work in
12:11 pm
areas where there is a possibility of mutual cooperation. for trump security advisor this day was a rather social one he laid flowers to the grave of the to the tomb of the unknown soldier he also laid flowers to the memorial the tragedy of courage just last week more than twenty people were gunned down there at a college in the mass shooting and also he laid flowers to the place of. once prominent opposition figure here in russia. and then he proceeded to meet with latimer putin and now we're expecting him to give a media conference in about just in about an hour's time or so here. really nonstop from over the last twenty four hours or so in that meeting after meeting of normally bowls not knowing full being that conciliatory yet it seems from what we know so far we're going to have more to say that within the hour his comments seem to have been a bit softer than what trump's publicly had to say back in washington. while
12:12 pm
in fact john bolton's visit has been preceded by some very strong rhetoric coming out of washington and personally from mr trump what he did he basically just yesterday as bolton john bolton was here kind of explaining america's position on the i.n.f. treaty a crucial treaty on. the terror and think some promise to keep bolstering its nuclear. capabilities unless well other countries grovel really i should say so all that happened while mr bolton was here. listen. russia has noted here in the agreement this should have been done years ago but still people come to this country we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up until they come to their senses when they will then we'll all be large and well done and by the way not only will read you. so just to give you some background john
12:13 pm
bolton's visit to moscow had been planned in advance but right before the donald trump made a very strong statement saying that he was going to pull out of the treaty unilaterally so mostly his advisor here has had some explanation most of explanation to do on just on monday this monday he said that apparently the united states still do not have a solid position on that they are not pulling out just yet at least the procedure has not been launched and that while they are going to keep consultations with russia with their asian partners and of course was what with washington's european partners since they do feel threatened with rhetoric like this since many european countries see this i.n.f. treaty as key to european stability so we're going to know more bit more clarity but i guess when they speak to the media within the hour we'll be covering that as well we'll let you get your ear to the ground with it as well for now we go thanks so much for the update. think about how this is being greeted in europe earlier
12:14 pm
spoke to john lott will and from the think tank units to democracy and cooperation he said europe is really going to find it tough about washington over any treaty pull out here. obviously america has the full spectrum dominance and trump has repeatedly said he wants to maintain that he wants to maintain a position in which no country can come even near even group of countries can come near challenging american power so i think there's a very clear line in trump's foreign policy that he thinks that international relations are determined by force and the treaties come about when there is agreement but agreement comes about when there is a balance of power 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 it could be that america is shooting itself in the foot let's not forget that mccaw and merkel are going to next week to talk to mr putin and mr erdogan
12:15 pm
about syria this was unthinkable only a few months ago and the europeans do not like trump ism in foreign policy they prefer the world of multilateral treaties international agreements and so on. story next about a british man who's taking on the u.s. military of a claims he was exposed to a dangerous set of chemicals sees receivers latest test results back and it seems david patterson says they've shown he's got high levels of cadmium in his body that's a cause of the german can damage the central nervous system the first hearing of the case reportedly is due to take place later this week i know. or medication or stress or high blood pressure and other ongoing saying i want it all that i am not ill i do not have some ticking bomb inside my body. my colleagues are still looking all states really cannot see in the. the have
12:16 pm
higher blood cadmium level than i did it goes and through the body it's risky to try to then it was into your other parts of your body it could take a month a year it could take up to five years but be in a cast the journey is very windy weather is a small part or a large part like we worked on the floor for two weeks without any protection or more of david storey here in may he was a contract tree says news in inspecting equipment that are based further he says boxes were covered in a white dust but no warning was given as to the nature of the powder the dust stuff or wearing no protective gear he says there was until a year later that the u.s. army told him it was cadmium they had them for the lawsuit after he was sacked for complaining about the incident the army says it's now changed how it handles equipment like that 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
12:17 pm
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 a us 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 whatever just. know 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 kind in and we don't know what's happening to us it'll happen when it'll happen 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
12:18 pm
a blood tested everyone is ducking and diving no one is taking responsibility. look at how he gets on coming up after a break here the u.k. government says it's keeping faith means that despite consent to westminster outline to the committee report we'll tell you about that more than ninety seconds at. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be present. for something i want to propose. to the right person that's what the three of the four people. i'm interested in the white house.
12:19 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race this on all sides very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down. the. u.k. government says it's winning its fight against this information and 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 campaigns and meddling. in as the
12:20 pm
details. the british government's detailed response into this latest dissin from mission and fake 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 fic 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 russian this committee has a try 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
12:21 pm
there's no russian interference let's take a look in november twenty seventh teen the prime minister accused russia of meddling in elections and planting fake news in an attempt to weaponize their 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 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 fifty interim report being presented by this committee and. it has to be said that
12:22 pm
one thing they did these two parties agree upon was the defense that the term think muse 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. in germany tens of thousands of signed 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 germany after the party it was designed in theory to assess whether or not teachers are breaking new trial of the rules by revealing the political terms and cs but critics say it's actually killing one of the country's darkest chapters as a nation sethi explains. under pressure to perform in the classroom it was about the fun talking about students had that teaches themselves because in germany teachers
12:23 pm
cookies are now being reported on by students anonymously beyond the immigrants all tend to fit to me putty but i can bet someone it's what they call let's call me 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 i'll concede to she wanted to be in your country and should not be a biased place against one party or another according to the f.d.a. example since those are different things things these educators criticizing a couple 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
12:24 pm
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 but an 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 pope. he says it's merely advocates of jamie's preexisting neutrality will but others say they see that putting the ball but inside the
12:25 pm
classroom really plays the politics well they say they think say we don't want to calm any teacher we want to create trouble we don't want to make life horrible for them but we want 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. i'll leave you with out for now that's all for the arts international news who so far this evening for me kevin i when i'm home to be able to call him brian thirty minutes we're going to be totally cross that media conference that with him approaching and john bolton the u.s. national security adviser going to be giving imminently here in moscow within the hour we think stay with us for the latest on that front leaving.
12:26 pm
with just manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room six. million real news. join me every thursday on the all excitement show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that.
12:27 pm
seemed wrong but all in all just don't call. me. yet to shape out just to become educated and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. well. this is the pat on the land. five years ago it was all grass. down over there now and this is pumper going day in day out we didn't have any
12:28 pm
choice really we could have put it over that way or ways i mean we could have moved it a little bit. but we have to let the people who own the mineral rights get to those minorities and they compensated us for what they took here but the company built it and we have it now for own next forty years i'm guessing i don't own. my house up there from there we have we used to have a beautiful view. now we have this to look at brings in a little bit of money very little if they took us out of here and get back all the money i made off of it's. going to happen.
12:29 pm
someday. you know on oil is all pumped out of the ground they will come back here and level it all out and turn it back into farmland but that's you know like i said it's going to be out of most of our lifetimes be out of mind for sure. i have nothing to say about where. i should say i have nothing to say you can suggest but they don't have to listen to you don't mean you have no legal say in it put it that way so they can put a wherever they want they don't need any your permission foreign oil industry follows a proper practice is i don't think will have a problem but there's always that if me if they don't then we could have an issue
12:30 pm
in the biggest issue would be to to ground water as i see it when we live in rural areas most of us depend on wells for our our drinking water and all the water we use in our old so if that would happen it would be a very bad thing. as all that fraction job that's where they pump the sand the fluid inhale the chemicals they use as it is one they use a chemical called bio bio it kills all biological elements so so when they pumped out that off in a ground any kind of bacteria is going to kill it any kind of living organism of any kind it kills it because one of our guy has. got some of it on his hands and light and i disturb just won't his hand we're bad because that's what my .
