ago so people that we have money that anybody else. will build it up until they come to this and when they. told the guard. that by the way not only will moscow insists it has not violated the nuclear treaty saying it's in fact washington that's not been hearing to it nevertheless russia still sees the i.n.f. a cold as a vital treaty and says it should certainly be preserved under the agreement signed back in one nine hundred eighty seven all short and the mid range nuclear and conventional missiles were eliminated with the exception of those launched at sea trumps move to ditch the i.n.f. does not sit well with america's european allies as they fear the continent's security will be severely 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.
3:03 am
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. 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 they would be europe western europe that would become the nuclear battlefield and there's some concern i think
3:04 am
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 a little surprise then that america's plans to pull out of the accord dominated tuesday's meeting between u.s. national security advisor john bolton and president putin and all the other subject at hand was certainly no laughing matter it was still a bit of room for some humor. as far as i remember there is an eagle on the us national emblem and there are thirteen hours in one foot and an olive branch with thirteen olives as a symbol of peaceful policy in the other my question is did you 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
3:05 am
any more although. that's what i thought. but your in the talks putin said he was perplexed by america's hostile steps and the absence of any provocation on the part of russia as for the i.n.f. treaty itself john bolton called it outdated and insisted it should be revised to include other nations most notably china international affairs commentator jonathan steele told us it's precisely fear of china's growing military might that is behind america's i.n.f. withdrawal plans many commentators think that this is the american decision is linked more to china's them to russia because the chinese are not part of the treaty very been developing their missile capabilities and there are military capabilities in southeast asia in the south china sea and the americans want to be able to confront. the treaty which we're talking about prevents the americans of course deploying missiles not just in europe and in asia as well as want to get out of it so they can start putting missiles there. and if withdrawal is in line with
3:06 am
his america first mantra. takes a look at the wider policy ambitions of the american leader. donald trump can be called any number of things good and 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.
3:07 am
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 globalism 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
3:08 am
because of how the dollar works by definition a globalist venture you know what else is globalist war invading other countries the us current. the 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 regime that frankly could be tough all very quickly by
3:09 am
the military regime change we're placing or helping replace governments you just don't like local rebels to the teeth or financing the opposition by sanctions that's globalism glow lism. purpose is 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 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
3:10 am
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 schrade face that really he isn't catholic. while saudi arabia keeps changing its story in the case of a journalist. who was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey it seems to be way ahead in this investigation president over one says that he was murdered in a vicious violent manner that was politically motivated. it was in our security and intelligence services the still analyzing the infer they have it's already clear that the murder of jamal khashoggi was drowned but since this is
3:11 am
a political assassination we also called for the inclusion of possible foreign accomplices if any. the saudi royal family has met with household you son and brother to express their condolences to the journalists eldest son was pictured shaking hands with the saudi crown prince who is suspected of orchestrating the killing of his father later in the week he left saudi arabia for washington according to various sources of the us president this week condemned the cover up off murder but still stressed the importance of maintaining economic ties with riyadh and the continuation of weapons sales to saudi arabia. cover-up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups. so he really has been a really great ally they've been 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
3:12 am
they've been funding a lot of things will be changing explanations are being met with much criticism from the west but key european powers are refusing to console multibillion dollar sales to saudi arabia so far germany is the only exception. i agree with all those who say that exports which are already limited must not take place in the console. and i don't have to react to every single statement lida makes so i won't answer that question. if you are 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. all that has nothing to do with this event nothing. nothing so i want let's get 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
3:13 am
fact the president has tried to play down the trade relations between the two countries the figure is light 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 undertaken by the previous government which correspond to the demands of internet. i'm not sure especially considering the un resolution if you meant that i'm the head of the government now my duty is to take the legal security that we're going to 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 it with almost twelve billion dollars and the prime minister there
3:14 am
justin trudeau has said that these are 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 journalist it is only acceptable in. 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 alms to saudi arabia just behind me us with heels worth around fifteen billion dollars now the idea of sanctions i 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 recent days was questioned about this well she said she would speak to the king of saudi arabia new concrete information
3:15 am
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 like the weekly continues in just a moment here on our international but make sure the stories including italy says it won't change one comma in its budget after the e.u. rejected it giving rome with three weeks to come up with a better more of that interesting. this.

of pittsburgh. shooting. police. in the building and. morning. six people were injured including four police officers it's believed to be the deadliest. in the country's history. community the shooter who is in custody has been identified as forty six year old. he was reportedly multiple including. assault rifle. traditionally the busiest day of the week. a human and labor rights lawyer was in the area when the attack happened he sent us the following report. if there's people gathered all around here. a lot of people in mourning a lot of parishioners with their heads and in their hands people just trying to
3:18 am
figure out what has happened here you know it's a very somber situation this is a bedroom community here in pittsburgh and this we don't see these things happen very often there's a number of synagogues here in squirrel hill this is a very strong jewish community here it's still locked down it's very hard to get in and out of school hill this point and i never seen this many police in one place in pittsburgh i mean it's really a very tense situation and very set people were very sad. president trump has ordered flags to be flown at half mast until october thirty first he also stressed the public try to should be executed. what we did. was. they should have. everybody get. down. and i think. i think we'd like.
3:19 am
them to get it but if you. have your it is the latest mass shooting at a religious site in the u.s. in recent years two similar attacks claim a bias of thirty five people. shoes whether flying out speakers old buying dollar podiums to make the occasional appearance in politics and now often the e.u. rejected italy's proposed new budget it was the tunnel of an italian and he paid to
3:20 am
put his foot or rather shoot out. it is the first time the european commission has rejected any member states budget proposal of the bloc gave rome three weeks to revise its spending plans to use the old court have breaks down the dispute. 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 he's obliged to have. a country that it was often budget to the plan. but we seen no alternative to. it all and to do so if he's still fit to lead.
3:21 am
whole euro. the e.u. claims that italy's debt situation is out of control and that salvias 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. it's 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 and not in brussels. you tell me an economy is healthy and this is an economic move that will give it to pretty needs we won't change one comma in this document to. be you know to go to. the. on. the future. spain belgium portugal and slovenia have all been in
3:22 am
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 front twenty nineteen 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 rate of debt 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
3:23 am
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 well 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 party. a white supremacist running as the republican congressional candidate in the chicago area is trying to appeal to voters in the arab community with anti israel and anti gay rhetoric jones placed a campaign advertisement in an arab american newspaper or that he didn't quite the reaction that he was hoping for.

say. the human space is must become into the ground terry wish me instead we have a leaving in the solar system. for sure we show that. all this all the solar system i see this is a way all bringing them developing more technologists new technology so that's becoming even. increase. in improve the quality of life on earth.
3:28 am
come on welcome to worlds apart the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi in istanbul introduced a compelling task into the middle east policies of several key players forcing all to take a hard look at both the values and strategic interests will the current geopolitical alignment in the gulf beyond survive this sordid challenge to discuss that i'm now joined by yuri barmen the middle east and north africa at spirit of the russian international affairs council here is good to talk to you thank you very much for coming over thanks for having me after two weeks of denying the death of the journalist the saudi leadership has finally acknowledged that it had taken place although it's still denying the grisly details or the grisly allegations of what happened to the body what is the scope of plausible deniability for the house of south here or do they even need to come up with a bill of a bull story. question i. have sort of. long.
3:29 am
thought probably that. the killing of. that would be the end of the story but clearly that is not the case and you know the story going to keep spinning and you know the the turks keep putting more pressure the americans keep coming coming up with more pressure so at this point it doesn't seem that it's the end of the story and it seems that the saudis will have to fight back will continue to i think it's a very rare case when the fact. of the killing or of the murder is less egregious than. dismemberment callousness. if mr. resurfaces piece a cynical as it may sound coming from me do you think it would provide some sort of relief if not exoneration for the saudi authorities this point i don't think it's
3:30 am
going to be a sort of relief for the saudis the fact that they were able to produce the body in the sheer fact that they were determined to get rid of the body that is already terrible enough to. put a lot of pressure on them politically this story has a very determined for sure at this point president. security services continue leaking the most blood curdling details without providing any public evidence or releasing the tapes that they keep referencing why do you think turkey so. you come up with the charges this reserved all the evidence i think the strategy to. up the ante for the saudis and for the americans i think is sort of building up his game gradually hoping that he could get something in return politically from the americans and the saudis here so.
