but. independence from spain leading to violence imprisonment of elected politicians in the new. acts of terror the matter of new york describes a series of bomb scares involving. bill and hillary clinton. former secretary of state hillary clinton has responded we are living in a divisive time. it is a troubling time. and it's a. deep. division.

in the us appear willing to reconsider weapons sales of the saudi arabia in the wake of the killing of the kingdom's. concerns over the future of. the u.s. saying. this would result in nothing but a new arms race. thanks for joining us here on our. top news story seven suspicious packages have been sent to politicians and news outlets in the u.s. it was revealed that the packages contained explosive devices the new york called an act of terror this is a very. painful time. in our nation. it's a time when people are feeling

a lot of hatred in the air in addition to new york city mayor bill de blasio we have heard from the n.y.p.d. as counterterrorism chief and he has confirmed that four of the explosive devices that arrived in suspicious packages seem to have the same source the devices that were sent to barack obama and to the home of hillary and bill clinton the device that was detonated on monday at the home of billionaire george soros and the device that was found at c.n.n. headquarters all seem to have the exact same source they seem to have come from the same person that the device was capable of going off these are pipe bomb like explosives now we're also hearing at that at this point in addition to the package containing the explosive there's also been a package containing suspicious white powder discovered at the c.n.n. headquarters explosive devices had to have projectiles and that's or. excuse me that sounds like

a fire alarm here we'll keep you posted on that. young we evacuated the lights were turned out and as we got out in the end be my bill and that the waiting in addition to that we're hearing that at this point andrew cuomo new york city governor his office has had a package discovered at the office of maxine waters prominent democrat in california has been evacuated the office of debbie wasserman schultz former chair of the democratic national committee in florida has also been evacuated now hillary clinton has spoken up in response to today's events talking about divisiveness in u.s. politics this is hillary clinton but it is a troubling time isn't it. and it's a time of deep. division. and we have to do everything we can to bring our country together. now this fits in with a pattern of escalating political violence throughout the united states out there

have been a number of elected officials both democrats and republicans who have received hateful threats you know we've seen shootings and other incidents now most recently we heard from rand paul the wife of senator rand paul talking about how she has taken some extra precautions in light of all the threats that she and her husband have received that this is the wife of a u.s. senator from kentucky you know we've had all of our security system that. we put a loaded gun by my bad. information is continuing to surface we do know that the time warner building in columbus circle in new york city is still evacuated at this point and a lot of questions are being raised people are wondering what exactly is happening but as of now we do have this word from the n.y.p.d. as counterterrorism chief that at least four of the explosive devices probably have the same source of the u.s. president to get to the bottom of the incident saying there's no place when it's in

the country. in these times we have to unify we have to come together and send one very clear strong and mistake a ball message that axis were threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the united states of america. a man who's faced accusations he was involved in the murder of the saudi dissident journalist jamal khashoggi has made his first public comments on the issue the country's crown prince claimed it was a crime with no justification the crime was really painful to all saudis. and i believe it is painful to every human in the world it is a heinous crime that cannot be justified. denied any knowledge of the incident for over two weeks then said he was killed in a fistfight though turkey insists the journalist was viciously murdered in a pre-planned operation key european powers are refusing to cancel multibillion dollar arms sales to saudi arabia that's except germany which wants other countries

to follow its example over the french president when asked about his intentions refused to give a clear answer. i don't have to react to every single statement so i won't answer that question. if you are interested in the issues related to this event. but this is not a press conference. and it's not a press conference to react to the german chancellor. i mean all that has nothing to do with this event nothing. nothing so i want let's put some context on that front says one of the biggest sellers of defense and on this equipment in the world and saudi arabia is one of its biggest clients despite the fact the president has tried to play down the trade relations between the two countries the figures don't lie between two thousand and eight and two thousand and seventeen deals with more than twelve billion dollars was struck between the two

countries but it seems that doesn't want to have a discussion about that nor a discussion about suspending those possible deals between the two countries and that seems to be a similar thing that we're hearing in spain where they have said that they will not deal with saudi arabia that's worth two billion dollars it's about the obligations on the taken by the previous government which correspond to the demands of international national especially considering the un resolution and the head of the government now. legal security that permission to comply with international obligations and it will be well it seems that that's a similar view that's being taken by the canadians now they have deals with saudi arabia that are worth almost twelve billion dollars and the prime minister there justin trudeau has said that is more concerned about the cancellation fee which is

around one billion dollars if they decide not to go ahead with that contract then roll that than holding saudi arabia to account for the killing of journalist. it is only acceptable in thinkable that someone could have murdered a journalist on foreign soil like this i do not want to leave canadians holding a billion dollar bill because we're trying to move forward on doing the right thing seems not much also coming from beginning to that which is the second biggest supplier of ons to saudi arabia just behind me us with heels worth around fifteen billion dollars now the idea of sanctions it was. the foreign secretary jeremy hunt but no clear indication of what those sanctions could be over whether they'll be applied when prime in the situation may was questioned about the. prime minister's questions when she said she would speak to the king of saudi arabia no concrete

information or whether they would be sanctions against the country it seems that they were germany is the only country it's going alone and putting its neck out in suspending and canceling these contracts. because one of its defense spokesperson for the france bowed party thinks no crimes will stop europe supplying arms to rio . we know that there are many violations of human rights. but above all in yemen and it's not dying when you're more for just words it's time for action which means blocking. to doing that all through war that is killing thousands hundreds of thousands of people and millions of children are starving there is no such thing as european diplomacy there won't be further and griese and i think that just buying time by saying that they would wait for further

and curious it's sad but. european union especially our french president. he's backing one of the worst. can tree which is are doing one of the worst war in the world. i mean while the u.s. remains the biggest exporter of arms to saudi arabia while condemning the coverup of murder donald trump stressed the economic importance of continued weapons sales to rid. cover up was one of the worst in the history of coverups. so he really has been a really great ally that one of the biggest investors maybe the biggest investor the country. they are doing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investments and you know so many jobs so many jobs thousands and thousands of jobs they've been funding a lot of things. with trump trying trying to get his billion dollar deals with the saudis float it on with his american mantra or against the if takes

a closer look now at his foreign policy agenda donald trump can be called any number of things good bad it all depends on which side you're on interesting really enough though it's donald trump that keeps giving donald trump new titles a globalists is a person that wants the globe to do well frankly not caring about our country so much you know what i am a nationalist. kind of obvious if you think about it what with all this talk of greatness walls and how special exceptional americans are it's going to be only america first american people first america's interests above all else.

now if i may mr president you seem to be confused about what those words mean it's right there in any dictionary globalism a national policy of treating the whole world as a proper sphere for political influence a globalist is someone who treats the entire world as a playground making national decisions which affect the international. community in simple terms google ism is when mr trump tells south korea meaning outside america that they can't lift sanctions their own sanctions on north korea without his permission but they won't do it without her approval they do nothing without a proof and by the way us sanctions which basically force everyone to abide by them because of how the dollar works by definition a globalist venture you know what else is globalist war invading other countries

the us currently fighting in seven wards that's really really globalist as well. the united states military's one of the most globalist organizations in the world it has bases in roughly every third country one in three nations has a u.s. military base in it that isn't nationalism that's good lobel ism i just want to see them as well straighten out regime that frankly could be toppled very quickly by the military regime change we're placing or helping replace governments you just

don't like why arming local rebels to the teeth or financing the opposition by sanctions that's globalism glow lism chance purposes to talk about globalism as the enemy but if you look at the politics it's anything but nationalist trumps attitude to the world as an individual is that he should have complete sovereignty and that includes sovereignty abuse the sovereignty of others you know he wants america to be able to go. and do business wherever they want he wants to be able to remove regimes that he doesn't like he wants to act truly globally but in the national interest as donald trump himself conceives it here is a fun fact the word globalism its modern meaning was first used to describe u.s. imperialism after the second world war the way the united states which wasn't destroyed by the war like europe dominated in international trade pushing its products its ideology its politics on every what it could they called it american

globalism so hearing mr trump who believes in returning america back to its glory days say that he isn't a globalist is like hearing the pope say with the schrade face that really isn't catholic. rather putin has responded to u.s. plans to quote a key cold war era nuclear weapons treaty warning that the entire structure of international arms control is being destroyed this comes after years of washington accusing russia of violating the i.n.f. treaty something moscow has always denied. we're concerned over the dissolution of the antiballistic missile treaty now the same thing can happen to the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty and the fate of these strategic goals reduction treaty is also not clear if all of that's destroyed nothing will remain in that area nothing will remain except an arms race the russian president has

somewhat confirmed what military experts have been warning for quite a while for now since the u.s. president warned that he wanted to leave the i.n.f. treaty because right now this document is viewed as a cornerstone of global stability i should say pretty much all over the world the united states do not see that way they believe at least according to trump's national security adviser john bolton just yesterday here in moscow he said well according to the united states the treaty is expendible they accused russia of violating it and they say that a lot more countries like for example china should be part of this right now bilateral agreement between russia and the united states but according to gladden important this is something that europe has to rely on when it comes to security and this is has been echoed by many european countries to have a listen to how the russian president formulated it. when it comes to europe the

main question is if the u.s. pulls out of the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty what will they do with these missiles if they bring them to europe we will have to have tit for tat measures and european countries should understand that they expose their territories to risk according to the russian president if europe allows the united states to deploy its shortened mid range nuclear missiles on their territory they could become target of a retaliation attack if it comes down to a military throw down the russian president also added that whatever steps washington takes russia will have to give a mirrored response so if say the united states decide. to bolster their military capability russia will have to do the same also according to vladimir putin it apparently will be difficult to convince the united states to reconsider their decision to pull out of this deal because the pentagon has already budgeted for it they've already funded some research that will allow the expansion in these assured

and mid range nuclear missiles which are banned under the treaty but still the russian president has tried to remain optimistic there are still doors open and he plans to discuss this with his american counterpart donald trump in november in paris. historic treaty was signed back in ninety seven between the then soviet union and the u.s. under the agreement all short mid range nuclear and conventional missiles were eliminated apart from those launch that see a number of countries across the world have already condemned the u.s. move include germany austria and france we spoke to former italian foreign minister franco frattini he warns that trumps the solution poses a real danger. italy should be really concerned about the possible seizure to be taken by president try on i.m.f.

debt could be a decision their dream going instability and so serves sort of concert i hope that our prime minister will come third to president putin the entire concert about such as decision anyway there will be less security there will be more instability there will be in the show circle two wars more political regime and seems no border today is already threatened by asking magic threats what exactly we don't mean to have i would say a bad beat be trolling for a show common strategy that would be a step back very dangerous not only each only should but also korea france germany that this press absolutely concerns and they would say

negative opinion about the possibility dead america will really think about ins and i also heard expert analysis from the director of the world around stop come international peace research institute dan smith he told my colleague andrew farmer the foundations of international arms controls will now have to be rebuilt. i think that what we're saying is that an architecture of arms control that was put together around the end of the cold war back consisted of the i.n.f. treaty the conventional forces in europe treaty problem capping numbers of heavy weapons non-nuclear weapons on both sides the presidential nuclear initiatives and the strategic arms reduction treaty building on the foundations of the a.b.m. treaty that was an architecture which has given us peace and security of an unexpected mixture of all time for the last nearly three decades the a.b.m.

treaty was abrogated by the us in two thousand and two russia effectively pulled out of the c.f.c. the conventional forces treaty in twenty six again now the us is pulling out of the i.m.f. treaty and the strategic arms reduction treaty only last until twenty twenty one and currently there are no talks to prolong it so the architecture as a whole is in serious difficulty and that's where we should be directing attention towards rebuilding those achievements so when you hear the u.s. say it will increase its new capacity unless quite other countries come to their senses. to say that sort of is a double edged sword of threat but also say a sort of come on let's talk about this. i think it may be meant that way but i do think that only some of the countries are which that's directed world's first of all. the threatening side rather than they kind of the more

a more peaceful side to it. it's feared an oil leak that's going on for fourteen years in the gulf of mexico could become america's worst ever environmental disaster it was back in two thousand and four when hurricane ivan slathered to florida's gulf coast severely damaging an offshore drilling operation just off. however the company in charge managed to cover up the incident for a whole six years. thanks thanks. flying over the gulf of mexico a research irresponsible coated gas and bubbling in

a miles long slick people are not the only ones who call the now polluted waters hole and for the indigenous animals there are countless birds and wildlife the stakes are high life or death time is running. i suppose the big difference is the. roads and there was a big explosion and people got killed instantly and and then the loss of more wood was released extremely rapidly in the case of the. first the original incident. and you see. it was in the context of. the company and the american regulators mine. to keep the entire incident pretty quiet it's one of those long running accidents which isn't a six. but over the course and for two years

with as many as seven hundred morros a daily of oil being leaked into the gulf it adds up to being of the same kind of food as the deepwater rigs and. back in twenty fifteen the company in question said that there was no evidence to suggest that all go leak or any significant environmental damage as i get any further explanation since that journalist all of a tickle again says that even routine oil spillage is result in huge environmental damage the gulf is currently producing something something like twenty percent of americans or those rather a highly rated max through fires breaking out every few days. or else with pollutants in the hundreds of thousands of ground you know just through new york. and this entire gulf coast is highly industrial used and it is bound. to months more and of course there is environmental impacts impact other industries

which are also tourism and fish roos show finish tens of thousands of miles of oil pipelines transect this entire region and if you've got a pipeline then. two hundred leaks. other comes out to reside in russia's far east is home to some of the world's most breathtaking natural wonders also to one pretty fearless dog is not afraid of striking up some unusual friendships.
