i. know people come to this center we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up president. china as he looks to pull out of a major cold war nuclear agreement that is causing his european partners a great deal of. a gunman busts into a synagogue in the u.s. state of pennsylvania shooting. people and wounding six. euro

transatlantic. unwilling to freeze arms sales to saudi arabia in the wake of the killing of the kingdom journalist. police says it refuses to revise its budget which was rejected by brussels to make the point more vividly one italian i mean he made clear he would rather give the e.u. a good showing than cave in. and the timing is perfect for the weekly here on the international the sunday program with the main headlines of the week on the top stories today. on tuesday president trump issued a fresh batch of threats directed at russia and china just days after here announced the u.s. would withdraw from a major cold war erode nuclear treaty the american president also repeated his earlier accusations saying that moscow was in breach of the i.n.f.

accord right here to the agreement should have been done years ago but still people come to this that we have more money than anybody else by force we'll build it up until they come to this when they. were old guard. that by the way not only will reduce moscow in its tone insists it has not violated the nuclear treaty saying it's in fact washington that's not been at hearing to it nevertheless russia still sees the i.n.f. a quarter as vital and says it should be preserved under the agreement signed in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven old short and mid range nuclear and conventional missiles were eliminated with the exception of those launched at sea trump's move to ditch the i.n.f. does not sit well with america's european allies as they fear their 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.

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 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 western 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 although the subject at hand was certainly no laughing matter it was still room for some humor. as far as i remember there is an eagle on the us national emblem and they're off 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

any more all of. them that's what i thought. during the talks upperton 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.m.f. withdrawal plans many commentators think that this is the american decision is linked more to china of 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 but in asia as well and the americans

want to get out of it so they can start putting missiles. in f. withdrawal is in line with theirs america first mantra. now takes a look at the wider policy ambitions of the american leader. donald trump can be called any number of things. it all depends on which side you're on interesting me enough though it's donald trump that keeps giving donald trump new titles globalists is a person that wants the globe to do well frankly not to. caring about our country soma you know what i am i'm 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 american centers above all else. yeah 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 her approval 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. eric 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 globalism by just want to see them as well a great 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 arming local rebels to the teeth or financing the opposition by sanctions that's globalism glue lism suits terms purposes to talk about globalism is 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 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 a straight face that really isn't catholic. well saudi arabia keeps changing its story in the case of journalist jamal house georgie who. was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey 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. our security and intelligence services the still analyzing the infant they have it's already clear that the murder of jamal khashoggi but since this is

a political assassination we're also calling for the inclusion of possible foreign accomplices. the saudi royal family has met with household g.'s son and brother to express their condolences 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 sources at the u.s. president this week condemned the cover up all. but still stressed the economic importance of continued weapons sales to riyadh. cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups. saudi arabia has been a really great ally they've been one of the biggest investors maybe the biggest investor of 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 a lot of things all the changing explanations have been met with much criticism from the west but key european powers refusing to counsel multibillion dollar sales to saudi arabia or germany is the only exception. i agree with all those who say that. we should really limit must not take place in the concert. and 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 in all 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 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

just said that he's 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. 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 kingdom 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 it was a need to follow 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 maze was questioned about this is that when she said she would speak to

the king of saudi arabia the new concrete information 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 george show defends a spokesperson for the france unbowed party so there's way too much money involved and no crimes will stop europe from selling weapons to riyadh. we know that there were many a violation of human rights in saudi arabia but above all in yemen and it's not a time when you're more for just words it's time for action and i think that just buying time by saying that they would wait for furder and curious it's sad but the european union and the especially our french president mr among whom are these backing one of the worst country which is are doing one of the worst war in the

world what about halfway through the weekly here on r.t. international still to come italy's says it won't change one comma in its budget after it was foot out rejected by the e.u. a brussels giving rome three weeks to come up with a better plan will give you more details in just a sec. i

would prefer to say. the human space is must become planetary wish me instead so we have a living in the solar system. and for sure we show that expands on. all this of the solar system i see this way all developing more technology technologist so that we can even learn. good of you to join us today hundreds have gathered for a candlelight vigil in the u.s. city of pittsburgh to mourn the victims of a mass shooting at a synagogue on saturday police said eleven worshippers were killed when a gunman stormed the building and opened fire during morning service six people

were injured including four police officers it's believed to be the deadliest attack against jews in the country's history has stunned the local community the shooter who is in custody has been identified as forty six year old robert by was he was reportedly carrying multiple firearms including a semi automatic assault rifle. the atrocity took place on what is traditionally the busiest day of the week for synagogues are human and labor rights lawyer was in the area when the attack happened he sent us the following report. you know 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 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 in lockdown it's very hard to get in

and out of school hills 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 obama has ordered flags to be flying at half mast until october thirty first he also stressed the pup a try to should be executed. what. they should. everybody get. down. and i think. they. get it but if you. have your rights they are like us mass shooting i want your site in the u.s. in recent years two similar attacks claimed the lives of thirty five people.

shoes whether flying at speakers old podiums to make the occasional appearance and politics and now off to the e.u. rejected italy's proposed new budget it was the tunnel of an italian m.e.p. to put his foot hole or rather his chute.

it's the first time the european commission has rejected any member states budget proposal and the block has given rome three weeks to revise its spending plans are breaking down the dispute how to use donald court. 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 to do for the first time as a commission is obliged to a. country that it was off budget. but we seen no alternative. to do so it is really into the whole. 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 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 into the we are not. 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 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 rates of digits 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 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 e.u. donald quarter r.t. and i thank you for sharing your sunday with us here at r.t. international now eleven nearly eleven twenty five am on sunday morning here at moscow more of the weekly at the top of the hour.

to. start to follow it really was very european in his approach he would be very well suited is an m.e.p. in brussels for example doesn't represent america is america for better or worse and i think what we're trying to do here is to let the world see what we're all about here. this is says holland kentucky. overboard this move the employees to the boardroom street fanny's.

a ko money since it was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the pay rises said i'd. love to see these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. tracking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people rushed to a small town in north dakota was among the employment rate of zero percent like

gold rush is very very similar to. this beautiful story. ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down too much they lost their jobs got laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality to. come up with a lot of statements saying that the states of the gulf should take care of the middle east or other we're still committed to the middle east so there's there's a lot of incoherence there but i think saudi arabia is hugely important to the united states and i think trump understandings that and this is this is exactly what was driving his kind of commentary on the. killing i think that's at the end of the day it's not going to change the status quo of america's policy because of you though.

a senior executive says happily in his private jet after just pulling off quite a coup. he has secretly initiated the sale of one of france's biggest companies. even so before landing into the bush he becomes quite disillusioned the agreement has been leaked to the media taken by surprise you know as to justify his actions. even a ticket or knows that a government member is waiting for him. i don't know montebello minister of the economy is demanding an explanation how dare he sell without consulting the state the deal must be cancelled the c.e.o.'s refusal threatens a social plan tensions rise and it's pointed out that the minister has already

broken all the bosses and their dreams and he will be next this is the last time he . will stand in this office or inside the ministry this is the coffee cup of a convicted man. two months later and after a fierce jewel the two men meet again same office different atmosphere. the ministers stand straight and tall but is stunned and defeated the last in the show of strength with the c.e.o. his defeat is ols of france's defeat. the c.e.o. is patrick cronin. the company sold to the u.s. without consulting the french data. in a deal that was sealed in circumstances where the of a spy novel from prying eyes and public opinion in. the sale deals a terrible blow to french industry and its energy independence today this affair of state is shrouded in

a deafening silence. story begins in the city of bell fort this is where the company was blown in eight hundred seventy two and since then it has literally shaped the region initially gold as a c.m. the alsatian corporation of mechanical engineering the company adopted the name in one nine hundred twenty eight when it merged with the company francaise thomas hoost and ever since then has played a major part in many major french projects it designed the propulsion system for the normandy then the world's fastest line up and connected france to spain by building a train tunnel under the pyrenees then built the turbo generators for the biggest power station in the world a gemini but for the people of bell fort else dome is so much more to feel it could cost you did.
