most. of the. people don't think that we have the 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 china and russia are seen looks to pull out of a major cold war new clear agreement causing further divisions with his e.u. partners. a gunman burst into a synagogue in the u.s. state of pennsylvania shooting dead at eleven people and wounding six others also

to come this hour europe and its transatlantic allies canada and the u.s. appear unwilling to freeze arm sales to saudi arabia in the wake of the killing of the dissident journalist. and genocide of hesse is voting today in a regional election that could have national ramifications and weaken angle in the hard fought grand coalition. but i welcome the latest news and a look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to you watching the weekly here on r.t. international. now on tuesday 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 donald trump or to repeat it is early accusations saying that moscow was in breach of the i.n.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 come there when they go then we'll all be like i was at work and by the way not only will we do it but 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 the deal russia's foreign ministry has recently said to you the u.s. sent a list of its concerns to moscow just days before announcing its decision to quit leaving it no time to reply well under the cream and signed back in one nine hundred eighty seven all shorten mid range nuclear and conventional missiles were banned with the exception of those launched it say washington says it's in talks with its european allies about its material some of which aren't too happy about the move 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 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 power

. it's a field 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 dominated tuesday's meeting between the u.s. national security advisor john bolton and also president putin and although the subject at hand ball's no laughing matter there was actually some ring 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 your ego 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 it but i didn't bring any more or. less what i thought. during the talks putin said he was puzzled by washington's move in the absence of any provocation from moscow as 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's the fear of beijing's growing military might that is behind transplants the commentary to 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 them and the treaty which we're talking about prevents the americans of course deploying missiles not just in your. world of the americans want to get out of it so they can

start putting missiles. or trumps threat to teach the treaty does fall in line with his america first policy were aghast c.f. has more now on the wider ambitions of the president. donald trump can be called any number of things good bad it all depends on which side you're on interesting lee 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 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 why arming local rebels to the teeth or financing the opposition by 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. 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. in other news this week turkey continues to demand the killers of a saudi journalist are brought to trial the turkish president says the murder of. stamboul was politically motivated by. our security and intelligence services are 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. or

the saudi royal family has met with. brother to express condolences the journalists eldest son was pictured shaking hands with the saudi crown prince who was suspected of orchestrating the killing of his father he later left saudi arabia from washington according to sources the us president this week condemned the cover up of of the murder but still stressed the importance of continued weapons to react. cover up was one of the worst in the history of coverups. so he really is a bit of really great our one of the biggest versus maybe the biggest investor worker. they are doing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investments and you know so many jobs so many jobs thousands and thousands of jobs they've been funding a lot of things well from statement there was met with huge criticism by the powers but they also are refusing to cancel multibillion dollar arms sales to saudi arabia

in fact 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 concert. and i don't have to react to every single statement so i won't answer that question. if you're not 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 france is 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 that 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 law 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 food 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

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 begin the united kingdom which is the second biggest supplier of arms to saudi arabia just behind me us with heels worth around fifteen billion dollars now the idea of sanctions it was a muted by the foreign secretary jeremy hunt but no clear indication of what those sanctions could be all whether they'll be applied when the prime in the situation made 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 shot at penske reporting there because man if it's the defense spokes person for the france unbowed party says that no crimes will stop europe selling arms to riyadh because the risk too much money involved we know that there are many violations of human rights. but above all in yemen it's not time anymore for just words it's time for action and i think they're just buying time by saying that they will wait for periods it's sad but. european union member especially our friend mr among whom are these backing one the worst country which is really doing one of the worst war in the world. to come in the weekly does say it won't change one comma in its budget after the giving room three weeks in

fact to come up with a better plan we've got the details just after birth. trom 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 is 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 at the end of the day it's not going to change the status quo of america's policy so if you go. really was very european in his approach he would be very well suited. and brussels

for example he 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. hello again the german region of hesse is going to the polls today to elect a new local government and the results could have a significant impact nationally threatening angela merkel's hard fought grand coalition predicting support for the traditional parties is likely to fall away in favor of the greens and also the left wing forces the right wing alternative germany party is also expected to strengthen its position to his picture all over

the ports. the party known for its anti immigration stance is said to chalk up another milestone in german politics just over a year since they shocked the country by entering the bundestag for the first time polls predict that this sunday alternative for germany will enter the state parliament in hessen for the first time that will mean that they have representation in all sixteen german states as well as the national parliament head of the vote in her alternative for germany have been campaigning aggressively. but should immigrants or just women and that momentum and the stickies. of their own people to ensure she. holds a special place for alternative for germany or the air it was at a meeting there back in february twenty fifth the party was formed setting themselves out from the get go as an anti establishment group focused on the economy. the parties in the bundestag and bundesrat don't do any politics in the

interest all consideration of germany and europe but in the five years since its formation an alternative for germany has been widely criticized by those who call and damn what they see as its populist and racist stance dva of to enjoy many has the rhetoric of the one nine hundred twenty. two karl and the continuity even in each have a blatant problem with anti semitism the whole of the anti liberal anti civic party i was. here. the the it was here. despite that they have enjoyed steady growth in the polls here in germany at times even coming in as the second largest political group in the country while taking up seats in has so would see them represented in all sixteen of germany states they aren't going to see this as

job done peter all over there will be gauged opinion about today's election and one of the cities in the has to reach. and it's sort of the results should go in favor of the greens this time and with that a change comes in society that means more for green energy because i personally work for wind power plants and it would be nice if this did more with this wind and solar energy and actually i expect the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. will lose support the other parties people are talking about the f.t. the greens the free voters will get more points but i believe that nothing will change with all this politics they're all staying firmly in place but like i said it's always been like this for the past few elections during the elections there's a lot that it's promised and then when the election is over they say what i said yesterday is yesterday so full it doesn't change a thing in the end they've just filled their pockets and continue in this way. that

he was well it will help and there's going to be a part of the full actual result for all voters positive from the sense that the c.d.u. and the ass be the you will make it it's highly probable i really expect that to happen. in other news 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 say 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 police officers it's believed to be the deadliest attack against jews in the country's history and has 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 when the atrocity took place in what is traditionally the busiest day of the week for synagogues human and labor rights lawyer dan kadlec was actually 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 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 its point and i never seen this many police place in pittsburgh i mean it's really a very tense situation very sad people were very sad. when president trump has ordered flags to be flown at half mosques until the end of the month and he has also said today that the perpetrator should be executed. one thing we did. was that 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 the all right it is the latest mashing at a religious site in the u.s. in recent years two similar attacks have claimed the lives of thirty five people. whether flung at faces or perhaps banged on podiums to make the occasional appearance in politics and that after the you rejected a sleaze proposed new budget it was the turn of an attorney and pay to put his foot that.

well it is the first time the european commission has rejected any member state budget proposal the bloc gave or only three weeks in fact to revise its spending plans on the quarter 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 state's budget demanding a resubmission. for the first time as a commission is obliged to a. country that it was off budget. but we seen no alternative to it all and to do so it is really into the whole. 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. you tell me an economy is healthy and this is an economic move that will give italy to stability it needs we want change one comma in this document to. be you know to go into the we are not. 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 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 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. . and you've been watching the weekly here on r.t. international don't forget they we've got plenty of stories for you to our website at r.t. dot com. the
