the period before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that is anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. president putin meets the u.s. national security advisor in moscow tensions over american plans to quit a nuclear arms treaty. the saudi royal family makes the relatives of killed journalist jamal khashoggi despite being suspects in the ongoing investigation but says the turkish president says the murder in the saudi consulate in istanbul was planned well in advance. of a british man sues the u.s. army after being exposed to toxic chemicals while working at a contract sort of military base to speak to the whistleblower. just a buddy who still just on medical checks. be just as he always is. just.

by their tuesday night at eleven here in the russian capital my name is colin brown this is your world news update from international let's bring you up to date on what's been happening here in the past few hours the u.s. national security advisers told reporters in moscow that the u.s. is still going ahead with pulling out of a key nuclear treaty while playing down fears the little spark an arms race earlier held a meeting with president putin but despite the tensions currently surrounding the two countries at the moment they still managed to lighten the mood. you know as far as i remember there is an eagle on the us national emblem and there are thirteen arrows in one for an olive branch with thirteen olives as a symbol of peaceful policy in the other my question is did your eagle eat all the old lives and leave just the arrows. i'm grateful for the opportunity to speak with

him on behalf of president and hopefully smelters for him but i didn't bring any more all of. them that's what i thought. of the two eventually got down to the serious business at hand they even discussed the prospects of a new trump meeting in the coming months correspondent john bolton's news briefing in moscow well it certainly looks like the united states and russia did as much as they could to resolve their differences when it comes to the i.n.f. treaty in the course of the past couple of days in front john bolton came here to this media venue in central moscow not far from the kremlin just after a nine hour and a half long conversation with president putin and he revealed john bolton i mean revealed two main factors as to why the united states still looks to abandon the deal one he says that russia has already deployed in europe some missiles that are banned under the deal and to the united states see this treaty as outdated he says

that the deal should include other nations like for example china and also john bolton talked about the key difference between russia and the united states when it comes to the understanding of the agreement with respect to the question of russian compliance as i said it is the american position that russia's violation it is russia's position that they're not violated so one has to ask how do you convince the russians to come back into compliance with obligations they don't think they're violating what the way russia sees the situation is kind of vice versa mosco has accused washington of minor violations when it comes to the iron. treaty and has said that it is in turn abiding to with sterns it also russia views of the deal as key to international stability addressing that john bolton compared the situation to when the united states pulled out of the antiballistic missile defense

treaty back in two thousand and two back then he said that deal was due to us absolutely crucial to international stability but apparently when the united states abandoned it nothing happened also important to avoid some of the rhetoric of people who are comfortable with the treaty and what what it what the implications of us was brought over to take away the cornerstone the entire construct of international stability collapses just was not true was not true then it will not be true now with withdraw from history and this is yet another point where russia and the united states just don't see eye to eye on since two thousand and one russia has been raising security concerns over challenges the world is facing because the united states once decided to abandon the a.m.d. treaty now with the deal in charm school says europe doesn't want any more escalation we've heard a lot of reaction coming out of the e.u. overwhelmingly speaking about how the i.n.f.

treaty is key to the european stability and security so whatever happens next if europe doesn't want to be part of the united states and russia judy it out. alessio the man behind the news an opinion. thinks about all this joins us now welcome to r.t. again john bolton said earlier he compared pulling out of the i.n.f. treaty with pulling out of the antiballistic missile treaty back in two thousand and two other comparable is this all being overhyped. well this is this is this is mainly to be done for the purposes of the military industrial complex there's billions and billions of dollars at stake when they get out of this treaty that raytheon and all the rest of the big companies we manufacturing these missiles installing them in europe and it's very scary prospect so i think bad things happen when the a.b.m. treaty was abandoned this is probably worse. it's. this is

ronald reagan's last great achievement these people are always praising ronald reagan but now they just tossed him overboard and his his his final great achievement with prime minister gorbachev so it's it's a terrible thing bolton of course is a neo con but the neo cons are warmongers they long advocated a first strike against the soviet union many of them advocated for a strike against russia so is this what this is about to make a first strike. easier for the u.s. to bring about. i hope to goodness not no question it's going to bring about on our own an increased arms race so the russia's going to us is going to build many many more nucular into missiles i guess russia will too it's just horrendous. will a meeting between mr putin mr trump make any difference i don't think so i don't

know is trump his own man i my my guess is he's not he's there for other forces controlling him i mean with with that in mind joe bolton claimed earlier that the real threat is not the american withdrawal from the treaty but rather russian missiles in europe which is one of why back so that we could listen to what he said a couple of hours ago. problem is there are russian i know. europe now is not american withdraw from the island threat or the russian this threat is the russian missiles already. and we're going to head back down those dogs ace then like you were just suggesting where by the way of the russian missiles in europe were they in poland. or rumania bulgaria northern these these countries are no longer satellites of the us and they're all satellites of the us so if anybody's got missiles these are american missiles not russian missiles one of the concerns that's been raised is that this treaty because it includes the united states and russia other powers that have nuclear capabilities there are concerns about the

nuclear capabilities the likes of china the likes of iran that they're not included is it feasible to maybe revamp the treaty to include all those entities or is that just just impractical. you know it's not a practical at all to to expand the treaty to leave it as it isn't to to bring in china to about britain and france i mean they're both nuclear powers nobody ever discusses them but they ought to be brought in as well and of course the us as the the only country that's actually used atomic weapons on defenseless cities and would like to do so again so it's there absolutely should be more negotiation more peace negotiations but the u.s. is a very belligerent power ever since the soviet union was grew from eastern europe they've been moving. in forces an american control forces closer and closer to russia there is that there is certainly russia why are they doing this of course it's

a very aggressive move mr putin pointed out these these things have been going on for a while and this is just another step in american aggressiveness it's a horrible step it's a slap on the in the face of the the dead president reagan and it's a horrible thing i remember when he was was president for example was a reich avik negotiating with mr gorbachev with the neo cons around the more desperate they not be allowed to meet by themselves they want to think they didn't they wanted to control reagan reagan was towards the end of his life wanted to get rid of all nuclear weapons he thought he called them god awful weapons they are they are indeed that and the fact that the u.s. wants to manufacture more station them all around the world can only have a very very bad effect it's a miracle we've escaped a third world war using nuclear weapons but people like mr bolton want

a third world war and why is he in the trumpet ministration why isn't he in a prison cell is my point of view well i guess we'll maybe next month if not planned meeting between president trump and putin in paris actually takes place for now that doesn't feel like ready for the forward does it but to rockwell in alabama thanks for your time. next the turkish president says saudi dissident journalist jamal khashoggi was murdered in a vicious manner and a preplanned operation because she was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul at the beginning of october riyadh denied any knowledge of the incident for more than two weeks kevin owen got more details earlier from correspondent. 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. because the evidence that we have so far indicates that your mom because 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 resource rather of the result of a planned operation right to recal 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 of the qods. 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 that 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 is not an ordinary. 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 and on 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 among those who he is 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 side his 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 on a tobar second before the saudi officials admit it happened within the walls of their called so much is going 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 v. take cautious or slow even if you want but perhaps the most outstanding evolution of the assessment of what's going on was thought of donald trump's let's have a look sounds to me like maybe. 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 but i would 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. the ground for it i am not satisfied with what i'm going back to president aired 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 the

saudi royal families met with casualties son and brother to express their condolences to journalists was pictured shaking hands with the saudi crown prince who suspected of orchestrating the killing of his father and also with the saudi king now there are reports the son is not allowed to travel outside the kingdom meanwhile dozens of top business executives have pulled out of a high profile economic forum in saudi arabia as international pressure continues to mount on riyadh over the journalists murder however crown prince mohammed didn't bring up the no shows all the murder case the fact he didn't say a word as he briefly made an appearance at the conference while his supporters swarmed him for a selfie opportunity. informative government minister told us the restored many questions to be answered as the probe is very much 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 prisoners who are asked 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 questions tesla peggle of germany has announced that they will not sell any military equipment to saudi arabia until those issues are this is a question about justice global justice human rights. a british man is taking on the u.s. military over claims that he was exposed to a dangerous chemical interesting his latest test results back they were patterson says he has high levels of cadmium in his body a carcinogen which can damage the central nervous system the first hearing in the cases to reportedly to take place later this week. i have no received or

medication for stress or high blood pressure and other on going 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 through risk retract 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 the journey 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 last year david who was a contract was inspecting in quitman south of the base in germany where 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 it wasn't until a year later that the u.s.

army told him that it was kept mayor david filed a lawsuit after he was sacked for complaining about the incident the army says it's now changed how it handled the quitman. 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 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 that they just said millions that whatever just look at not was not my problem go see someone else it was like a hope that it will be passed from one to another to another until i eventually had to go to my old doctor's final self 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 allowed and hope mine 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 no one is teaching responsibility the . u.k. government says it is winning its fight against this information and fake names in response to a special parliamentary report for the committee behind the document says britain isn't doing enough to battle foreign influence campaigns and meddling reporting from westminster is on us to see a target. 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 fake 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 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 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 dish 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 success through 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 these two parties agree upon was the difference that the term think news has become redundant and really lost its meaning in this teenage mums alas 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 as the end of this year. violence incident to the metro station in rome this tuesday evenings champions league football match between us roma c.s.k. moscow one russian fans reportedly been stabbed in a fight outside the stadium while a collapsing escalator in the metro has left at least twenty people injured all sports correspondent with me now what we know about what happened outside the stadium first let me begin with that fight for us definitely it's not the first time that a fight happens in that particular city at that particular club are well known for their fights moreover in twenty fourteen c.s.k. moscow and roma fans clashed at the same stadium this time however it looked more like an attack from the roma fans on the c.s.k. fans especially judging by the fact that fifteen fans of the roman club have been arrested there were reports and they were put out into the social sphere by one of the leading telly in use agencies and that one of the fans from moscow was stabbed

two more were severely beaten however we just received word from the russian embassy in italy which said that the man injured is not really in the severe condition and they denounced the stabbing incident in a separate incident. probably more tragic one for c.s.k. founds despite that their team is losing three will now twenty at least twenty people actually is getting closer to thirty now according to different reports were injured during an escalator breakdown in one of the central stations in rome republic of station i was there actually earlier this year it's a beautiful station but the escalator went down at the very quick speed on several fans were. left badly injured at the lower part of the escalator there are reports that one of these fans can potentially have his leg amputated after this incident so it's a really bad night for the moscow globally in the city as you mentioned we've been here before similar things happened in twenty fourteen are there any questions being asked over whether the police were prepared properly for tonight you know

this this is very weird to me because i was there earlier this year same stadium same club i went there to support liverpool football club and just two weeks before that roma fans went on the mayhem in liverpool. serious severely injuring one liverpool fan who is still in a coma shaun cox is his name he's still battling to recover from a coma so when the return leg happened in rome the police was everywhere it was very secure so what happened this time i have no idea because these two clubs have a bad history last time in twenty fourteen when they played in rome seventeen fans of c.s.k. moscow were arrested two c.s.k. moscow fans were stabbed outside the ground to study the olympic oh and this time police did nothing this is this is bizarre because they knew what they were up against and they did nothing and you mention the reputations of both teams here or both teams sets of fans rather does this mean that the clubs could face consequences now well in these cases you a for usually hands out a stadium band for instance one of the clubs playing in champions league now so as

the red star belgrade is serving this ban their way fans are banned from travelling to liverpool tomorrow so they won't be at the stadium but in the case of roma last time they did the same thing there was no punishment they went on a mayhem in liverpool the injured people one guy still in the corner as i've said earlier no repercussions whether there will be anything this time to either of the clubs we'll see but it looks like according to reports that those were the c.s.k. fans which were attacked by roma not the other way around ok or zero for now let's go to sports correspondent thanks for that. ecuador former president rafael correa believes there's a good chance that whistleblower julian assange may be turned over to the united states came after u.s. lawmakers wrote a letter to ecuador's current leader lenin merino demanding he hundred over the wiki leaks co-founder if he wanted to avoid hurting the country's relations. we are very concerned with julian assange just continued presence at your embassy in london and he's received over could tour in citizenship last year it is clear

that mr sands remains a dangerous criminal and a threat to global security and he should be brought to justice. we feel that it will be very difficult for the united states to advance our bilateral relationship until mr sanchez handed over to the proper authorities that he sent agreement between the. american government we were by suppressing my has several months ago they agreed to turn over as you have to remember that no science has. citizenship not just a sale right now he's proven to. do so because he said all it will it seems to me has. i got it or institution. because of the behavior of these government how to look at some meat that to the american government is going to turn over. american government and so on just been holed up in ecuador's london embassy since

twenty twelve where he's been granted political asylum he became an ecuadorian citizen last year but since then his relations with the country's current government have worsened last friday a song filed a lawsuit against ecuador for violating his human rights he's been restricted from seeing his lawyers and communicating with the outside world and even being given some housekeeping rules which former president korea calls humiliating these rules are really a shame you know they try to him. they are human so they. can't because they are. these rules are really against human rights and they're trying to isolate. to push him to our embassy. that's the way it looks from moscow this hour thanks for watching i'll update you again in a half an hour after we follow the fate of a community in north dakota where the discovery of shale oil has left many mixed fortunes.
