god. i. think it. was. a joke people come for. money but. we'll build it up in the top stories of the week here in r.t. president trump threatens a new arms race with russia and china as he looks to pull out of a major cold war nuclear agreement and calls his unease among his european partners also to come a gunman burst into a synagogue in the u.s. state of pennsylvania shooting dead eleven people and wounding six others.

and it's transatlantic allies canada and the u.s. if you stop saudi arabia in the wake of the killing of the kingdom's dissident journalist. and italy says it won't revise its budget after being rejected by brussels and italian politician make it rather give the e.u. a good feeling in. how they welcome the latest news and look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to you watching the weekly here on r.t. international i want to stay present trump again threatened a new arms race with russia and china just days after he announced the u.s. would pull out of a major nuclear treaty signed during the cold war the american president also repeated his earlier accusations that moscow was in breach of the i n f a court right here. it should have been done years ago so people come.

by will build it up but. when they. will all. the way not only. will moscow in turn insists it hasn't violated the nuclear treaty saying it is in fact washington that's not being a deering to it nevertheless russia still sees the i.n.f. of code is vital and says it should be preserved well under the agreement signed back in one thousand nine hundred seventy all short a mid range nuclear and conventional missiles were eliminated with the exception of those who launched its sea trumps move to ditch the i.m.f. doesn't sit well with america's european allies either 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. 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 the 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 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 so little surprise then that america's plans to pull out of the core dominated tuesday's meeting between the u.s. national security advisor john bolton and also president putin and although the subject at hand need a laughing matter there's still room for a bit of humor. the little couple knew as far as i remember there is an eagle on the u.s. national emblem and there are thirteen hours in one for it's 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 smelters for him but i didn't bring any more all of. them that's what i thought. well during the talks putin said he

was perplexed by america's hostile steps in the absence of any provocation on the part of russia as for the i.n.f. treaty itself john bolton called it an act dated and insisted it should be revised to include other nations most notably china international affairs commentator john steele told us it's precisely fear of china's growing military might that is behind america's i n f drill 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 of 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 to measure as well on the americans want to get out of it so they can start putting missiles. or trams i.n.f. with troll is in line with this policy of america first marriage as they have takes

that now the wider ambitions of the american league. 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 globalist 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 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 her prove they do nothing without her proven and by the way u.s. 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. the 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 by arming local rebels to the teeth or financing the opposition by 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. saudi arabia keeps changing its story in the case of the journalist saudi he was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey meanwhile seems to be way ahead in its investigation president says the writer was murdered in a vicious violent manner that was politically motivated. using our security and intelligence services are still analyzing the info they have it's already clear that the murder of jamal khashoggi. since this is a political assassination also coffee inclusion of possible foreign accomplices. aside the royal family has met with the saudis 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 it was reported that he left saudi arabia for washington the u.s. president this week condemned the cover up of his soldiers murder but still stress the economic importance of continued weapons sales to riyadh cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups. so he really is a bit of really great that one of the biggest addresses maybe the biggest investor . they are doing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investments and you know so many jobs somebody. thousands and thousands of jobs they've been funding a lot of things now while the changing explanations have been met with much criticism from the west key european powers are also refusing to cancel arms sales to saudi arabia worth billions of dollars so far germany is the only exception. i agree with

all those who say that experts which are already limited must not take place in the concert. and i don't have to take every single state or city so i won't answer that question. if you are interested in the issues related to this event. but this is not suppressed. it's not a press conference to react to the german chancellor. i mean all that has nothing to do with this event nothing and. 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 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. by the previous government which correspond to the demands of international national especially considering the un resolution if i am the head of the government now my duty is to take legal security and 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 in food 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. 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 arabia just behind us with heels worth around fifteen billion dollars now the idea of sanctions was a muted by the foreign secretary jeremy hunt but no clear indication of what those sanctions could be over whether they'll be applied when the prime in the situation may was questioned about this 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 devinsky there were georgy man a bitch the fund spokes person for the france and bad party says there is too much money involved and no crimes will stop europe selling arms to riyadh. we know that there were many violations 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 address buying time by saying that they would wait for further and curious it's sad but the european union and the especially our french president mr munder remark he's backing one the worst country which is are doing one of the worst war in the world . still to come on the weekly italy says it won't change one comma in its budget after it was rejected by the giving running three weeks to come up with a better plan we'll have the details on that because of the stories to just off the

brain. has been coming up with a lot of statements saying that the arab 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 understands that and this is this is exactly what was driving his kind of commentary on the. killing i think that's the end of the day it's not going to change the status of america's polls because of you. i would prefer to say. the human space this must be. terry wish me instead so we have a living in the solar system. and for sure we show that spans.

all this system i see this way all bring in and developing more technologists technologists. so that we can even. let's say increase in in in for all the quality of a lie or no. hello again now hundreds have gathered for a candlelit vigil in the u.s. city of pittsburgh to mourn the victims of a mass shooting at a synagogue on saturday police say eleven worshippers were killed when a gunman stormed the building and opened fire during morning service for the six people were injured including four officers is believed to be the deadliest attack against the jews in the country's history in a stunned the local community the shooter who is in custody has been identified as

forty six year old robert bose he was reportedly carrying multiple firearms including a semi automatic assault rifle the atrocity took place in what is traditionally the busiest day of the week for synagogues human and labor rights lawyer dan kadlec was in the area when the attack happened and spoke with us. you know there's people gathered all around here. a lot of people in mourning a lot of parishioners with their heads 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 still in lockdown it's very hard to get in and out of school build this point and i never seen this many police in one place in pittsburgh i mean it's really a very tense situation very sad people were very sad. president trump has ordered

flags to be flown half mohsen to the type of the thirty third season with a stress thing that the perpetrator should be executed. one thing we did. was you know what you have crimes like this. whether it's this one or another one on another group we have to bring back the death penalty i have i didn't write i what it is that i just machines and there were just sites in the u.s. in recent years t. similar attacks claimed the lives of thirty five people.

that shews whether speak is all banged on podiums to make the occasional apparence in politics and now off to be rejected it's a nice proposed new budget it was the turn of an italian and he paid to put his foot or rather his sheen down. well it's the first time the european commission has rejected any member state's budget proposal the block gave rowing three weeks to revise its spending plans don't quarter break stan 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 is obliged to a. country that it was off budget to be blunt. but we seen no alternative to it all and to do so it is in. the interest of 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 and not in brussels. you tell me an economy is healthy and this is an economic move that will give. needs we want 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 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 we 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 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 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. . white supremacist running is the republican congressional candidate in the chicago area is trying to appeal to voters in the arab community with and israeli

and also anti-gay rhetoric after jones placed a campaign advertisement in an arab american newspaper although he didn't quite get the reaction he wanted. you know the holocaust is a fact i think you know it's real here. you. ridiculous . are white superior blacks. no question about it you know that races that you know that's true but i consider myself a way to refill those. weekly

here not international will back and we are back with more news. at the top of the . run. for the best out of the dogs with. the concepts i was preparing to perform i had actually prepared myself to.

say. as myself. get warm. stuff done. this country was. if he had the goods. sold we'll see him getting. more patient. education. i mean are you. really was very european in his approach he would be very well suited is. 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 here. 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 well the current geopolitical alignment in the golf beyond survived the sordid challenge to discuss that i'm now joined by yuri barmen the middle east and north africa expert of the russian

international affairs council 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 the. 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 do they even need to come up with a believable story. from a question. of sort of how long they 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 sheer fact. of the killing or of the murder is less egregious than demand. 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 going to be a sort of relief for the saudis the sheer fact that they were not 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. turkey who 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 pushing to come up with the charges this reserved all the evidence i think the the strategy. for the saudis and for the americans i think he's sort of building up his game gradually hoping that he could get something in return politically from the americans here so we were going to see what it's going to result but my problem with his strategy is that the longer he waits. the saudis and the americans are determined to give something back to the turks now present himself is hardly. a human rights there are numerous reports of his own security services being implicated in the kidnapping of turkish nationals have brought there are numerous reports of people dying in turkish jail waiting for. sometimes years on and do you think there is any personal.

possible way.
