yes. there you. go people come to the. money that anybody else. will build it up president fresh threats to russia and china as he looks to pull out of a major. nuclear agreement causing his european partners a great deal of. europe and the transatlantic allies the us unwilling to freeze weapons sales to saudi arabia in the wake of the killing of

the kingdom's dissident journalist jamal. division among americans with just over a week to go before the midterm elections. suspect in connection with a spate of attempted. it is just off the a.t.m. here in moscow when your timing is perfect for the weekly top stories of the week i don't the day welcome to. on tuesday president. fresh batch of threats directed at russia and china just days after he announced the u.s. would withdraw from a major cold war era nuclear treaty the american president also repeated his accusations saying that moscow was in breach of the i.n.f. accord. russia has added here to the agreement they should. been done years ago but

still people come to this that we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up until they come to their senses when they then lol the guard ever. had by the way not only will we do which i would love to do but right now they have that here to the agreement. the treat him question was signed back in one nine hundred eighty seven between that and soviet union and the united states under the agreement all short and mid-range nuclear and conventional missiles were eliminated with the exception of those launched from the sea trumps move to ditch the i.n.f. treaty does not sit well with america's european allies as they fear the continent's security will be so really undermined. the announcement by the u.s. that it's going to withdraw from the i.m.f. accord is regrettable the i.n.f. agreement has been important pillar of our european security architecture for thirty years for us in europe it's of great importance we call on the u.s.

to consider the possible consequences if u.s. and russia need to remain engaged in constructive dialogue to preserve the treaty and to ensure. it to ensure its cool and verifiable implementation which of course is crucial for europe's and global security the problem is as others have pointed out in particular this is a problem i think for europeans that this treaty was designed to prevent or reduce the risk of nuclear weapons being used by the nuclear threshold being lowered and not should we say long range heavy nuclear weapons being used against the united states and the soviet union or today russia but that with the shorter range weapons it would be europe western europe that would become the nuclear battlefield and there's some concern i think a great deal of concern amongst all european leaders except the united kingdom who yesterday have stated that they support the american position predictably enough

there is concern that this reduces the prospects for nuclear disarmament increases risks for west europe and its people. shortly after trump announced america's imminent pullout but he worst national security advisor john bolton flew to moscow to discuss the new security reality on monday he held talks with top russian security officials and on tuesday bolton met with president putin and although the subject at hand was certainly no laughing matter it was still some room for humor. 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 you 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 all and. that's what i thought. during the talks john bolton

insisted the i.n.f. treaty was outdated and should be revised to include china he went on to accuse moscow of violating its terms it's something flatly denied by russia which actually sees things the other way around it kucing the us of minor violations russia says the treaty is still vital to international stability and constantine the chair of the russian foreign affairs committee told us earlier that washington placing its missiles in europe would severely upset the balance of power. if the united states drops the agreement and then proceeds deploy. medium range. let's see in poland or in the baltic states that will definitely mean completely new military threats towards russia because of these. will be. reaching. areas for beyond the mountains.

now to the case of the killed saudi dissident journalist jamal khashoggi this week saudi prosecutors acknowledged that his murder was premeditated something previously denied by the kingdom for over two weeks riyadh denied any knowledge of the incident but then changed its story saying the journalist had been killed in a fistfight in the kingdom's istanbul consulate the changing explanations have been met with much criticism from the west but key european powers are refusing to council multibillion dollar arms sales to saudi arabia the only exception is germany which ones other countries to follow its example however the french president when asked about his intentions refused to answer. i don't have to react to every single statement lida makes so i won't answer that question. if you're not interested in the issues related to this event don't come 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 get some context on that france is one of the biggest sellers of defensive 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 figure is 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 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 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 which i am the head of the government and my duty is to take the legal security that we must have 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 justin trudeau has said that these more concerned about the cancellation fee which is around one billion dollars if they decide not to go ahead with that contract then rolled out the holding saudi arabia to account for the killing of that journalist it is only acceptable and i think google 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 arms to the arabia just behind us with heels worth around fifteen billion dollars now the idea of sanctions was following the foreign secretary jeremy hunt but no clear indication of what those sanctions could be over whether they'll be applied when the prime minister to resign may was questioned about this well she said she would speak to the king of saudi arabia no concrete information whether they would be sanctions against the country it seems that they were german . is the only country it's going alone and putting its neck out in suspending and canceling these contracts. george rekers money defense a spokesperson for the party things no crimes will stop europe from supplying arms to riyadh we know that there are many violations of human rights in saudi arabia but above all in yemen and it's not time anymore for just words it's time for

action and i think that just buying time by saying that they would wait for further and curious it's sad but the european union and especially our french president. he's backing one of the worst country which is really doing one of the worst war in the world. meanwhile the u.s. remains the biggest exporter of weapons to saudi arabia and while condemning the coverup of. stressed the economic importance of continued weapons sales to riyadh all in the very same speech the cover up was one of the worst in the history of coverups. saudi arabia bit of really great ally they said one of the biggest investors maybe the biggest investor in our country. they are doing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investments and you know so many jobs so many.

thousands and thousands of jobs they've been funding go a lot of things we don't know trump are trying to keep his billion dollar deals with the saudis afloat of course in line with his america first mantra auntie's and when i take a look at his wide foreign policy ambitions. 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 global. is a person that wants the globe to do well frankly not caring about our country somas 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 what mr trump tells south korea meaning outside america that they can't lift sanctions their own sanctions on north korea without his permission they will do without or approve they do nothing without

a prove 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 current. fighting in seven wards it'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 a 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 via arming local rebels to the teeth or financing the opposition don't buy sanctions that's globalism glue lism suits chumps 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 can save that he is a fun fact the word globalism its modern meaning was first used to describe us

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 a straight face that really isn't catholic. during a summit on syria on saturday it was decided by france germany russia and turkey that the ceasefire in evenly provinces should be preserved and the region is the last militant stronghold in the entire country fearing a resumption of hostilities many of the three million civilians that live in it live continue to flee the region.

we were living in a camp life was difficult there was no aid no bread no water everything was scarce the situation was terribly bad well after the second year is barely any shelter in winter and in summer you would suffer from the heat that was our life. particularly consarned about the possibility of escalation. of violence in that there are up to three million people living in this. thing that of would simply result you know humanitarian disasters. we have all known for a very long time that this. continues to be the war conflict that we see very very

long and yet there doesn't appear to be sufficient political convergence to bring this conflict to an end so i truly hope that we will now see the end of this conflict so that humanitarian aid can finally reach all the people of syria who are sold desperately longing for peace if anything needs are just going to grow in the coming months and years and we. continue our effort at the same level as in the past few years during the summit at the leaders discussed humanitarian aid constitutional reform and free elections the four sides called for syrians to take center stage in their country's peace process and stressed the importance of preserving syrian sovereignty on a lighter note despite the sticking points it seemed there was some good chemistry between the leaders.

but. the real significant meeting is that it was held at all and in this format of russia and turkey germany coming together for the first time in this format was also parroting the u.s. to the. but the very fact that she attended. some hopes for the longer they will participate in the recovery. key and

russia have settled issue as a result of the meeting russia and have drawn closer together. the future of syria would have to be due thought idea by the syrian people alone so he has come off to the issue and that has. lead to. shoes flying at speakers all banged on podiums they do make the occasional appearance in politics and now after the e.u. rejected italy's proposed new budget it was the turn of an italian m.e.p. to put his foot or rather put his chute down.

it is the first time the european commission has rejected any member states budget proposal the block has given of rome three weeks to revise its spending plans and all quarter of the disputed. brussels is sharpening its knife in preparation for a new battle with rome for the first time the e.u. has flat out rejected a member states budget demanding a resubmission. for the first time as a commission is obliged to the. country that it was off budget. but we seem. to do so it is. the e.u. claims that italy's debt situation is out of. control and that salvini is government needs to tighten its purse strings and fulfill its obligations the euro skeptics say it doesn't have anything to do with money since there are other states with

bloated budgets that have never felt such a heavy hand from brussels this is the first time in budget the e.u. doesn't like no surprise this is the first italian budget written in rome not in brussels. the italian economy is healthy and this is an economic move that will give italy to stability it needs we won't change one comma in this document to. be you know to go to. the. on. the future. that spain belgium portugal and slovenia have all been in violation of the e.u. agreements in the past and for years france has broken the three percent deficit threshold imposed on it by the e.u. as for debt it's been in the red since two thousand and two and only this year the second largest european economy received

a carefully worded letter in response asking all very politely to reduce its debts . we thank you for sending the from twenty nine thousand draft budget that we received on october fifteenth we would like to ask you for more details the commission's preliminary assessment also indicates that the growth rate for france does not respect the reference rates of did reduction in twenty nineteen so italy refused to be taken to heel by this double standard. except the e.u. commissioner in charge of budgets didn't seem to find the stunt very funny even connecting the italian shushan and against to a potential quick path to fascism the episode of the made in italy shoe is grotesque at first you smile and we trivialize it because it's ridiculous but then we start getting used to this kind of muted symbolic violence and one day we wake up with fascism stay alert democracy is

a fragile treasure or the draft budget would have seen over five hundred million dollars worth of cuts to defense spending while putting more money towards social welfare and tax cuts not exactly a sound way to revive fascism and certainly not a good way to be a shoo in with the new donald quarter r.t. . america was rocked by a spate of attempted parcel bombings this week with thirteen packages intercepted by the f.b.i. among the intended recipients were prominent u.s. democrats critics including former president barack obama i had to reclaim to another c.n.n. news channel on friday the f.b.i. arrested a suspect who appeared to be a dedicated trump supporter and who may have mental health issues a fifty six year old. florida was arrested after his fingerprints and d.n.a. were found on parcels you're already has a criminal record he was previously convicted eight times including for car theft

if found guilty of the attempted possible bombings he could face up to fifty eight years in jail artie's eager down off now looks at how the years hadn't. has created severe discord in us political life. we have to unify we have to come together and send one very clear strong and mistake a ball message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the united states of america unity one would argue is a red state found in the united states of america right now and with midterms it's less than two weeks before the midterm vote so that isn't helping at all basically both camps the conservatives and the democrats they have been trying to spin the whole situation in their own favor now we don't know trump talked a lot about this he's tweeted blaming the media for spearheading the hades he said that they are hateful beyond description that was in in a tweed but that was not the only thing that he had to say as part of

a larger national effort to bridge the divides and bring people together to the media also has a responsibility just said a civil tone had to stop the endless hostility and constant negative and oftentimes false attacks and stories have to do and i'm not one who sees equal blame spread all around our president cannot escape special scrutiny he is at the head of the hate parade and way too often clearly reading prepared remarks at a rally he seemed not to give a damn we have seen an effort by the media in recent hours to use the sitter's or actions of one individual to score political points against me and the republican party to us. so trump on the red corner mainstream media in the blue corner so to speak and the c.n.n.

by no means were the only ones ganging up on trump everybody jumped on him in fact not just him his daughter ivanka trump came under fire. she was attacked for supporting her father did also get his fair share of hate because many many journalists and pundits have blamed him for cultivating of this culture of hatred it looks like the democrats have it's a bit of a blessing for them in a twisted way that this thing happened especially when no one thankfully know nobody was killed or even injured so they are trying to spin it in such a way that donald trump is to blame while donald trump and his camp are trying to spin it in a completely different way and well one thing to know for certain is that as mid-terms draw closer this isn't going to change it's going to just get worse. it tended bombings highlight how polarized the us has become particularly just ahead of mid-term elections in just over a week now this is confirmed by

a new survey which found that eighty percent of americans think their country is quote greatly divided and also found that almost forty percent of those polled believe the situation will worsen the poll also revealed that among the most contentious political issues are trumps presidency economic inequality and race relations lawyer and political activist a christian man said told us there needs to be a concerted effort to bring people together. both sides have to tone it down both the president and the media and other political sectors have to come together and understand that we cannot continue sending these inflammatory comments on t.v. and on social media because there are people who take it personally and then they think that they have a way to respond and this is one example now is the republican side that has this crazy follower and we also had this democratic extreme left follower a few

a few months ago when he attacked congressman scott lee so i think that we have to be very careful because this is becoming a real problem out. graveyard soil coffin nails and some revenge oil that's what a coven of witches in new york used to place a hex on us supreme court justice brett kavanaugh last week he was recently appointed to the lifetime position after facing sexual misconduct allegations the sorcery event was met by protesters condemning it while a catholic priest and exorcist attempted to counter the dark magic by saying a mass. and was well spelled out. so we're here in brooklyn where a group of pagan witches it gathered to place a tax on the newly confirmed supreme court. justice brett kavanaugh now in the statement for the event ascension they said that black magic is

a mechanism for exacting justice by women who have been wronged by men just like him now the ceremony is taking place in this occult bookstore behind me. now here in liberal brooklyn witchcraft wicca might just be considered be another hobby or fascination but in some parts of the country it's no laughing matter there are schools around the country where the harry potter books are forbidden from the school library because christian parents are offended by the witchcraft content and there's been cases where satanists and we can practitioners have gone to court demanding their religious freedom needless to say tonight ceremony did not sit well with a number of trump supporters it is a scary time right now i mean there's a list of things going on now you've got witches that are placing a head on brett kavanaugh now a catholic priest who's been trained in rome as a bonafide exorcist says he will be conducting a mass to protect brett kavanaugh from the witches he says that witchcraft is not

a matter of free speech conjuring up personified evil does not fall under free speech satanic cults often commit crimes they murder and sexually abuse everyone in their cult we decided to talk to some of the people attending the ceremony or gathered outside the bookstore and see how they feel about cursing kavanagh do you think the ceremony tonight will actually impact brett kavanaugh no one night but it will make everybody feel like they've accomplished something and you know people need to feel like they've accomplished something possibly could backfire and help brett kavanaugh so easily yes i mean they've had to travel three times three now it's so tempting to be doing the little pretty well for guys but heck sometimes i'm hopeless i i don't i don't want to die is why i'm so a be paralyzed the rest of his life so we can talk or something so you're coming out to counter the the witch ceremony it's not an act countering is sincere in the love of god so he does want to say instead of like curses we want to achieve these

blessings and we wanted so to love about.
