yes. for her throat. ok. president putin now 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 and arms control crisis. donald trump makes his toughest statement yet on the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi in saudi arabia's istanbul consulate. was carried out poorly and the cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups. and a british man sues the u.s. saw me off there being exposed to toxic chemicals while working as a contractor as

a military base we speak to the whistleblower. when i was just a bunch to school just on medical checks it is the biggest of the winds as one of them just look you might see someone. a very warm welcome you watching r.t. international with me thank you aaron now our top story this hour the u.s. national security adviser has told reporters in moscow that the u.s. is still going ahead with pulling out of a key nuclear treaty while playing down phase it will 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.

as far as i remember there is an eagle on the us national emblem 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 a smelters for you but i didn't bring any more although. that's what i thought. well those who eventually got down to the serious business at hand they even discussed prospects of another meeting between presidents trump and putin in the coming months corresponded a go sean of was it john bolton's news briefing in the most. 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 and 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 a band under the deal and two with 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 talks 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 well the way russia sees the situation is kind of vice versa mosco 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 sterns and also russia views of the deal as key to international stability addressing that john bolton gone bad the situation to when the united states pulled out of the and to ballistic 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 with her over it take. the way the cornerstone the entire construct of international stability collapses should 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 juki it out. investigative journalist david lindorff doesn't believe that withdrawing from the nuclear 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 a treaty that was passed by two thirds of the senate it's not like the iran deal that was never approved by the senate and it was 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 there was a huge consequence russia found a.b.m. missiles being put in rimini and threatening it with the threat of a first strike that they might not be able to retaliate against and so russia responded. as i read by developing the same person on a cruise missiles which are what has the u.s. upset so and so bolton is wrong. donald trump appears to have toughened his stance on saudi arabia over the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi in the kingdom's if stumble consulate's speaking in the oval office on tuesday the usa delivered his harshest words yet but stopped short of committing

to punish way at. their very bored. original concept. it was carried out poorly at the cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups for several. 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 saudi ministries who we suspect to have been involved in mr to show his death we are taking appropriate actions which include revoking pieces 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 sounded to me like maybe this is road kill or. 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 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 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 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 still not 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 deferring to congress of course he has veto in our system he has veto power over any sanctions and 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 that jamal khashoggi who was a staunch critic of the saudi royal family has fled to go thing to him full the u.s. when he was a columnist for the washington post he was killed off to having being called into the saudi arabian consulates in istanbul on the second of october to collect documents.

as out away to over the murder grows the saudi royal family has gone into damage control they met with cash orgies son and brother on tuesday to express their condolences to journalists son was pictured shaking hands with the saudi crown prince who is suspected of orchestrating the killing of his father the saudi king who was also there meanwhile the turkish president promised to bring all of those responsible to justice. germany because you just heard 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 level will be brought to justice and will get the punishment they deserve the incident was not a momentary resource but rather the result of a planned operation former cia analyst john kiriakou told us that jamal khashoggi 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 thanks to. the crown prince mohammed bin some man has expressed surprise that this has become an issue at all. a british man who's taking on the u.s. military over claims he was exposed to a dangerous chemical has received his latest test results back david paterson says he has high levels of cadmium but his body a cost which can damage the central nervous system the first hearing in the case reportedly is due to take place later this week i know received or medication or 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 in the they have higher blood cadmium level than i did it was and through the body it's risky to try

to that it was and to other parts of your body it could take a month a year it could take up to five years but be in the journey is very watery whether it's a small part or a large part like we worked on the floor for two weeks without any protection. and may last year david who was a contractor was inspecting equipment at a base in germany he says boxes were covered in a white to dust but no warning was given as to the nature of the powder softball working with it no protective gear it wasn't until a year later that the u.s. army told him it was canned me i'm david followed a lawsuit after he was sacked for complaining about the incident the army says it's now changed how it handles equipments 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 the beef like. this is had been a problem on gori was a us army going back to two thousand and one i asked about who's going to assist on medical checks. they just said you know winter weather just not here not is not my problem go see someone else it was like a hot potato been cast from one to another to another until i eventually had to go to my own doctor's fight myself and p. 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 all happen and how bad it will be no one no one seems to cure 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 and no one is taking responsibility

for. their care government says it's winning its fight against this information and fake news same response to a special parliamentary report by the committee behind the document says a person isn't doing enough to battle foreign influence campaigns and the meddling i days as a senator now brings us 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 russian this committee has tried to dig up proof of any involvement and interference from russia when it comes to elections specifically the last general election in the u.k. as well as the bracks that referendum but now that the government has had the time to analyze that the recommendations that this committee has published they said there's no russian interference let's take a look in 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 towards the end of this year. violent incident at a metro station in rome march tuesday evenings champions league football match between a us room and see eskimo sco 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 alexia join colleen 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 very bad incidents 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. and reaffirm my sympathies for the injured to the russians who have

been egypt and i think the police and firefighters who needed acted to help this be interesting enough to the mayor of rome pin the blame onto 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. because they said and went down injuring all. it 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 you can look to. see 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 fourteen 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 both questions to the roman police. in germany tens of thousands have now signed a petition against their website where students are encouraged to report politically biased teaches the online portal neutral schools was first launched by the anti immigration alternative for germany party the a.f.p. it was designed to assess whether teachers are breaking neutrality rules by revealing their political tendencies but critics say it echoes one of the country's darkest chapters and issues that the explains. and the pressure to perform in the classroom never was about the fun talking about students had but teaches the south because in germany teachers political views can now be reported on by students anonymously beyond the immigrants all tend to fit to me posses but i can bet that

some of the so what they call lists could be trying to make tons and tons of books because you 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 plenty it's ok if you wanted to be in your case and should not be by this place against one party or another according to the f.d.a. example since those offenses think 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 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 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 gemini the party says it. merely advocating jamie's preexisting neutrality law but others say it made mention of putting the ball but the side is the classroom really a place for politics. they don't seem 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 a new cool place i don't think the political party should be launching such a online portal i think that they don't want to just speak openly about nazi history or german and they want to stop that they want their version of political history to be taught in classroom throughout germany. as relations between julian assange and i quote or deteriorates the country's foreign minister has said it will stop holding talks with the british government over the whistleblowers asylum status so as a valencia told reuters news agency that ecuador is only responsibility is to look after his wellbeing while he resides in the south american countries london embassy it comes after format ecuadorian president rafael correia said he believes there's a good chance that whistleblower jr silence may be turned over to the united states

as a lot of lawmakers in washington wrote a letter to ecuador is currently demanding he hand over the wiki leaks editor if he wants 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 a record tour in citizenship last year it is clear that mr sondra manes a dangerous criminal and the 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. or. we were. pretty good my has set a month ago and they are released to turn order you have to remember that no science has a body and citizenship. is prevented by the prosecution because he's imo it
