the troops the time is now watching closely watching the hawks. was. nothing. that. president putin and the u.s. national security adviser hold talks in moscow as america's plans to pull out of a key nuclear missile treaty threaten to trigger an arms control crisis. donald trump makes his toughest statement yet on the murder of journalist john markham saw g. and saudi arabia as it is stumble consulates there was carried out poorly and the cover up was one of the worst in the history of cope's. kind of british man sues the u.s. army after being exposed to toxic chemicals while working as a contractor as

a military base we speak to the whistleblower when i was just above this school just on medical change. the gist of your lives as well just. as you see someone else. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron now our top story this hour the u.s. national security adviser has told reporters in mosco that the u.s. is still going ahead with pulling out of a key nuclear treaty or playing down phase at all spark an arms race john bolton earlier held a meeting with president putin but despite the tension surrounding the two countries right now they still managed to lighten the mood. in the group as far as i remember there was an eagle on the u.s. national. and there are thirteen arrows in one foot and an olive branch with

thirteen olives as a symbol of peaceful policy in the other my question is did your eagle eat all the olives and leave just the arrows. 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 although. that's what i thought. well the two eventually got down to the serious business of towns they even discuss prospects of another meeting between presidents trump and putin in the coming months our correspondent he goes donna was on 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 and 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 is in violation it is russia's position that they're not in violation 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 all the way russia sees the situation is kind of vice versa moscow has accused washington of minor violations when it comes to the island of treaty and has said that it is in turn abiding to with stern is 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 dubious absolutely crucial to international stability but a prime. 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 with her over to take away the cornerstone the entire construct of international stability collapses it was not true it was not true that it will not be true now with the withdrawal 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 i never deal in trumps cross says europe doesn't want any more as collation we've heard a lot of reaction coming out of the e.u. overwhelming aid speaking about how the t.t. these 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. and investigative journalist david lindorff doesn't believe that withdrawing from the new kid treaty will be a straightforward process for the u.s. but first thing let's say that it's not clear that the president has the authority to back out of the treaty that was passed by two thirds of the senate it's not like the iran deal that was never approved by the senate just a presidential deal so that's going to be an interesting. fight i suspect among senators. the second thing is that what i heard bolton say

at that press conference was that there was no consequences when the u.s. when the bush administration bush cheney administration pulled out of the a.b.m. treaty and in fact it was a huge consequence russia found abia a.b.m. missiles being put in remain and threatening it with the threat of a first strike that they might not. able to retaliate against and so russia responded. as i read by developing the same percent of cruise missiles which what has the us upset so so bolton is wrong. on trying to pass to have toughened his stance on the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi in the kingdom's istanbul confluent i was speaking in the oval office on tuesday the u.s. need to deliver his harshest words yet but stopped short of committing to punish riyad. original concept.

it was carried out poorly and the cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups first a. bad deal should have never been thought of. somebody really messed up. and they had the worst cover up ever. and we're shouldst it is at the deal standpoint when they thought about it because whoever thought of that idea. i think is in big trouble and they should be in big trouble well these are harsh words from donald trump now at this point people are recalling how not too far in the past just a couple weeks back he was actually emphasizing the importance of arms sales to saudi arabia we've also heard mike pompei o u.s. secretary of state speaking up and talking about the possibility of sanctions against the kingdom saudi arabia we have identified at least some of the individuals responsible including those in the intelligence services the royal

court the foreign ministry and other saadi ministries who we suspect to have been involved in mr can show you is death. we are taking appropriate actions which include revoking besides entering vsa lookouts and other measures the position of donald trump has certainly evolved during the past two weeks let's kind of review how the position of the u.s. president has changed since sounded to me like babies this is road killers. 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 have to be very severe i mean it's bad. but we'll see what happens you consider very seriously i do i do i mean it's again it's early we haven't for the show 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 now there's been a strong reaction around the world we've seen a lot of top executives pull out of the key economic forum that's taking place in saudi arabia however those who are participating did not comment on the incident furthermore we've seen steve minutiae in the u.s. secretary of treasury sit down and meet with the crown prince of saudi arabia and their meeting emphasize a strategic partnership between the usa and the kingdom of saudi arabia so at this point people are waiting to see what will happen next will the united states back up these critical words of saudi arabia with action trump as waffling around simply because he really doesn't want to sanction the saudis and also he has not he stole my blamed the crown prince of saudi arabia m.b.'s for any of this he said this was today said this i think the strongest comment was they just botched the cover up but he never admitted that it might be connected to the crown prince so but there

are there is a move in congress to put some sanctions on and he seems to be. furring to congress of course he has veto in our system he has veto power over any sanctions and he also if you wanted to he could put probably put on some sanctions and so just unilaterally as an executive but the strong sanctions would have to come from congress but he does have a veto power over that. to marcus archie was a staunch critic of the saudi royal family had to have had fled the gulf kingdom for the us where he worked as a columnist for the washington post he was killed after having been called into the saudi arabian consulate in istanbul on the second of october to collect marriage documents.

as outrage over the murder grows the saudi royal family has gone into damage control they met with khashoggi son and brother on tuesday to express their condolences the journalist was pictured shaking hands with the saudi crown prince who is suspected of all castrating the killing of his father the saudi king was also there meanwhile the turkish president promised to bring all of those responsible to justice. the evidence that we have so far indicates that jamal khashoggi was slain in

a vicious violent murder all those responsible from the highest level to the lowest blue brought to justice and will get the punishment they deserve incident was not a momentary resource but rather of the result of a planned operation former cia analyst john kiriakou told us that you markus sean she had been seriously concerned for his safety in the run up to his killing i've spoken to friends of his over the past couple of weeks and they all say the same thing they all say that he was deeply worried about his own security now he wanted to fill out whatever form he needed to fill out in order to marry this turkish woman he was engaged to here in washington but he was told by the saudi embassy in washington that he had to do it at the consulate in istanbul so they lured him to istanbul and killed him inside he knew something bad could happen he was he was right the interesting thing to me is that the saudis didn't think anybody would care or didn't think anybody would notice and we know now that. the crown prince

mohammed bin some man has expressed surprise that this is become an issue at all. a british man who's taking on the u.s. military claims he was exposed to a dangerous chemical has received his latest test results back david paterson says he has high levels of cancer me and his body a carcinogen which can damage the central nervous system the first hearing in the case reportedly as you take place later this week i received medication for stress or high blood pressure and other ongoing saying 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 into the they have higher blood cadmium level than i did it goes and through the body it's risky to

try to 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 the journey it's very windy weather is a small part or a lot of like we worked on the floor for two weeks without any protection and may last year david hale as a contractor was inspecting equipment at the base in germany he says the boxes were covered in a why does no warning was given as to the nature of the powder star for working with no protective gear it wasn't until a year later that the u.s. army told him it was kept mia david filed a lawsuit off the he was saks folk i'm planing about the incidents 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 in safety training and proper methods for receiving processing handling and cleaning items

there are possibly contaminated with cadmium only a year later to be fighting. this is had been a problem ongoing with the u.s. army going back to two thousand and eight when i asked about who's going to assist on medical checks that they just send your way into it whatever but just not here not is not my problem go see someone else it was like a hot potato been passed from one to another to another until i eventually had to go to my own doctor's fight myself and pay for all my own medical expenses we breathed this cadmium in and we don't know what's happening to us it will happen when all happen and how bad it will be no one no one seems to care no one is taking responsibility no one is assisting us the managers have said we are helping them and put them through a medical they have done nothing we have had to fight just have a blood tested everyone is ducking and diving a no one is taking responsibility. u.k.

government says it's winning its fight against this information and fake news and 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 i see that as a attack and i brings the 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 russia and 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 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 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 two words the end of this year. violence and shock incident at a metro station in rome amount to choose the evening's champions league football match between a us room and. one russian found was involved in a fight outside the stadium while a collapsing escalator in the metro left at least thirty people injured r.t.

sports correspondent. joined collin gray in the studio with the details it's a really bad night for c.s.k. moscow in rome this time not only their team lost three nil to rome a big defeat but also to a very bad incidence for the fans first of all the fight outside the study only because stadium the stadium. there were reports that one of the c.s.k. moscow friends was stabbed two were severely injured in the fight over the russian embassy in italy later denounced this information they denied the stabbing incident but acknowledged the fight there was also a separate incident far more serious that i should say in the subway station is on the way to the stadium about one hundred fans were going down an escalator when it malfunctioned sped it in the normal speed downwards and at the end of the escalator there was something of a stampede but. i reaffirm my sympathies for the injured to the russians who have been injured and i thank the police and firefighters who needed keep active to help

this interesting enough the pin the blame on to the russian fans but there are many conflicting eyewitness reports even people including the people who were on that escalator saying that the escalated just when because they said and went down injuring all those found. we must investigate it is a strange thing we need to fully understand what the causes are by looking at the c.c.t.v. recordings. there was undoubtedly a failure. i did not see the pictures the last time these two teams met in the champions league was in twenty fourteenth there was trouble then as well is there an indication that maybe the italian police were prepared for this it is really strange but it seems that they were not if we go back to twenty fourteen there was a major scuffle outside the stadium there was a major scuffle inside the stadium this time they have a history with c.s.k. moscow and it seems that they were not adequately prepared they did stop the fight

with water cannons but the fight still happened so you have to ask all the questions to the roman police. i could always the former president rafael correia believes there's a good chance that whistleblower giuliano songs may be turned over to the united states that came after us lawmakers wrote a letter to ecuador's current leader lennon merino demanding he hand 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 the embassy in london and he's received a record tour in citizenship last year it is clear that mr sands remains a dane clear that mrs 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 very supportive my has said a month ago they are really. turned over you have to remember that no assad's . citizenship. is prevented by those who do so because he said oh it will it seems to me it has. got into our constitution. because of the hayward of this government. to the american government going to turn over. the american government and stones has been holed up in ecuador's london embassy since two thousand and 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 wasn't last friday a son's filed a lawsuit against ecuador for violating his human rights he's being restricted from

seeing his lawyers and communicating with the outside world and even given housekeeping rules which former president correct course humiliating. this wrong. then try to him. they are human so they think oh my point because they are. these rules are really against human rights and there they are trying to isolate. to push. our embassy. all in germany tens of thousands of now signed a petition against a website where students are encouraged to report politically biased teaches the online portal portal neutral schools was supposed to launch by the anti immigration alternative for germany party the a.f.p. it was designed to assess whether teachers are breaking neutrality neutrality rules

by revealing their political tendencies but its critics say it echoes one of the country's darkest chapters and issues that the explains under pressure to perform in the classroom never about being picked on talking about students tapping the system now because in germany teachers political views are now being reported on by students anonymously the un team occurrence all tend to fit chimney pot but i can bet similar to what they call it could be trouble to come to something that can be 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 ok situation wanted to be in your case and it should not be a biased place against one party or another according to the f.d.a.

example since those are different things to be educated criticizing the apple wearing t. shirts with the tea party slogans or encouraging children to take part in the protests to prove. that points the largest opposition party in the band the stock or even publishing consent of disgruntled students claiming that conservatives these may affect the great his 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 country's justice minister has condemned the

practice comparing it to the methods of the notorious form the secret police and ace jamey the party says it's merely advocating jamie's preexisting neutrality bill but others say it made mention of putting the ball but decided the classroom really a place for politics well they say david seems to think 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 the 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. thanks for choosing r.t. international we'll be back at the top of the hour with all the latest see the.

greetings and sal you take is one of the aftershocks that has rippled through the ivory towers of the washington d.c. elite since the accident leon purpose killing of washington post columnist jamal shogi by saudi arabia has been the investigation and reevaluation of the massive amounts of saudi kingdom money invested in individuals and entities throughout the us business political and media landscapes yes even vince mcmahon and the w.w. we had to re-evaluate that they still want to go through with their upcoming special event in the kingdom and hipster darling establishment backed by case is now rethinking its connections to that sweet saudi money variety is reporting the biases and ongoing contract with saudi arabian publishing group s r m g to produce

a series of four many documentaries aimed at promoting saudi arabia advice as legal team is now reviewing the contract with s r m g all of this focus on who's getting paid what to influence who is is having repercussions and is also being conveniently left out of pundit biographies the intercepts glenn greenwald is reporting that last thursday the daily beast published an article about the saudi u.s. relationship with donald trump by david rothkopf the former editor in chief of foreign policy what the daily beast and later amazon b.c. failed to disclose during rothkopf commentary was that he is in fact a paid lobbyist for the saudi regimes close ally the equally despotic regime of the united arab emirates and last month the rocket formally registered as a foreign agent for the americas. this is important my friends because in politics and media just like in business money equals in.
