god. i. was. so people come that we have money that anybody else by far will build it up in the stories that shape the way president trump threatens a new arms race with russia and china as he looks to pull out of a major cold war nuclear agreement causing further divisions with his e.u. partners. a gunman burst into the 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. appear i'm willing to freeze arms sales to saudi arabia in the wake of the killing of the dissident journalist. and this really refuses to back down over its budget despite it being rejected by brussels in fact provoked one italian m.e.p. to make his feelings about the decision abundantly. clear they welcome the latest news and a look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to you watch the weekly here on r.t. international. now and choose day the u.s. president again threatened a new arms race with russia and china just days after he announced he was pulling his country out of a major nuclear treaty signed during the cold war door trump also repeated his earlier accusations to saying moscow was in breach of the i.m.f.

accord. right now to here in the agreement they should have been done years ago but still people come in there we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up but until they can get there when they go then we'll all be right and walk. by the way not only will we do moscow insists it hasn't violated the nuclear treaty and believes it should be preserved saying it is in fact washington that's not been sticking to it russia's foreign ministry has recently said the u.s. sent a list of its concerns to moscow just days before announcing its decision to quit leaving it in a time to reply under the agreement signed back in one nine hundred eighty seven all shorter nuclear range short and mid range nuclear and conventional missiles were banned with the exception of those launched its c washington says it's in talks with its european allies about it's been through all some of which aren't too happy about the me. the announcement by the us that it's going to withdraw from the

i.m.f. accord is regrettable the i.n.f. agreement has been an 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 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 the soviet union or today russia but that with the shorter range weapons they would be europe western your. that will 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. so little surprise then that america's plans to pull out of the core did dominate tuesday's meeting between the u.s. national security advisor john bolton and also president putin and although the subject at hand is no laughing matter there is still reno for some humor. as far as i remember there is an eagle on the us national emblem and they're off 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 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 you but i didn't

bring any more all of. them that's what i thought. well during the talks putin said he was puzzled by washington's move in the absence of any provocation from moscow 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 believes it is fear of beijing's growing military night that's behind trump's 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 because deploying missiles not just in your generation as well on the americans want to get out of it so they

can start putting missiles. more trans i.n.f. the troll does fall in line with america's american first mantra but again as the earth has been taking a closer look at the wider policy ambitions of the president. donald trump can be called any number of things good or 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 american centers 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 broom 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 currently. 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 toppled very quickly by

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 don't buy sanctions that's globalism glow lism suits trumps 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 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. 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. now turkey has persevered in its demand of a trial for the killers of the saudi journalist murdered in istanbul earlier this month the turkish president says the killing was politically motivated. to visit our security and intelligence services the still analyzing the info they have it's already clear that the murder of jamal khashoggi was well since this is a political assassination also coffee inclusion of possible foreign accomplices. in

one of the saudi royal family has met with the saudis son and brother to express condolences to the journalist eldest son was pictured shaking hands with the saudi crown prince who is suspected of orchestrating the killing of his father he later left saudi arabia for washington according to sources the us president this week condemned the cover up of the sort of the has still stressed the 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 versus maybe the biggest investor or . they are doing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investments and you know somebody jobs so many jobs thousands and thousands of jobs they've been funded a lot of things well the changing explanations have been met with huge criticism by the powers but they are refusing to cancel multibillion dollar arms sales to saudi

arabia in fact so far germany is the any 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 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. 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. by the previous government which correspond to the demands of international national especially considering the un resolution and 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 through has 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 role that the 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 it 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 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 china defensive reporting now what your man of each the defense spokes person for the france he says that no crimes will stop europe selling arms to riyadh because there is too much money involved. we know that there were many a violation 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 will wait for furder and curious it's sad but the european union and especially our french president mr munder michel he's backing one of the worst country which is are doing one of the worst war in the world. so it's comfy on the weekly italy values to hold firm on its budget plans despite the rejecting them will have a look at the details on that just after the break. i

will prefer to say. the human space is. interpreting it terry wish me instead so we have a living in the storage system. and for sure we should expand on other on

other bodice of the solar system i see this as a way of bringing in and developing more technologies new technologies so that we can even. let's say increase. in improve the quality of a lie or no. welcome back to the weekly now 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 that 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 it's 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 boas he was reportedly carrying multiple firearms

including a semiautomatic assault rifle and the atrocity took place in what is traditionally the busiest day of the week for synagogues human and labor rights lawyer dan conflict was in the area when the attack happened. and he spoke with us 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 in 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've never seen this many police in one place in pittsburgh i mean it's really a very tense situation and very sad people are very sad. president trump has a lot of flags behind hamas until the end of the month and he also said that the

try to should be executed. one thing we did. was that when 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. right i but it is that i see smashing into religious sites in the us in recent years to the similar attacks have claimed the lives of thirty five people. now shoes whether flung at faces or banged on podiums to make the parents in

politics in politics and right now off to the to displease proposed new budget it was the turn of an italian and me paid to put his foot down. but this is the european commission has rejected any member states budget proposal the block frying three weeks to revise its spending plans all court has more on the dispute brussels a 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 today for the first time as a commission is obliged to the ghost country but it was that off the budgetary plan

. but we seem no alternative is on photographs at all and to do so it is in the interest of it totally 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. you tell me an 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. 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 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. . so as fate an oil leak in the gulf of mexico could become america's worst ever environmental disaster back in two thousand and four hurricane events slammed into floor of discolored coast severely damaging an offshore drilling operation just off

louisiana however the company in charge managed to cover up the incident for a whole six years. thank. you. flying over the gulf of mexico a research. gas bubbling and a miles long slick people are not the only ones who call the now polluted waters hole and for the indigenous there are countless birds and wildlife the stakes are high life or death time is rather.

i suppose the difference is that. rosenberg was a big explosion and people got killed instantly and they don't and then the loss of more was released extremely rapidly in the case of the. first the original incident. it was in the context. and the company and the american regulators managed to keep the entire incident pretty quiet and it's one of those long running accidents which. bought over the coup for years with those menus. into the go it. being the same kind of food as that. in twenty fifteen the company in question in question did say there was no evidence to suggest an ongoing leak or any significant environmental damage but it hasn't

given anything. since then journalist all of a tickle again says even routine oil leaks can result in great damage. the gulf is currently producing something something like twenty percent of americans or rather a highly rated max through fires breaking out every few days. or else the nuge with routines pollutants in the hundreds of thousands of pounds per year just through new york. and this entire gulf coast is high and industrial used and it is bound unique in concert amounts of more new serious environmental impacts impact other industries which are also tourism and fish roos show finish the tens of thousands of miles of oil pipelines transects in this entire region and if you've got a pipeline then you were burned two hundred leaks washing out international thanks me company this afternoon we're back with more from the weekly and how that.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offer at this very dramatic development only and into this is just i don't see how that strategy will be successful very chaotic at a time to just sit down and talk. this is harlan kentucky. this really boyce's people we're going to agree. to.

a coma any city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal was fed. and it was a laugh to see these people listen by the disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here in that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and it's how it's happened. well. this is the pat on the land. five years ago it was all grass.

like that over there now and this is pump or going day in day out we didn't have any choice really we could have put it over that way or ways i mean we could have moved it a little bit. but we have to let the people who own the mineral rights get to those minorities and they compensated us for what they took here but the company built it and we have it now for own next forty years i'm guessing i don't own. my house up there and there we have we used to have a beautiful view. now we have this to look at brings in a little bit of money very little if they took us out of here and get back all the money i made off of it. but it wasn't going to happen.

someday you know an oil is all pumped out of the ground they will come back here and level it all out and turn it back into farmland but that's you know like i said it's going to be out of most of our lifetimes it would be out of mind for sure. you have nothing to say about where. i should say you have nothing to say you can suggest but they don't have to listen to you don't i mean you have no legal say in it put it that way so they can put it wherever they want they don't need any your permission foreign oil industry follows the proper practices i don't think of.
