subscribe to rob people. for just twelve euros fifty per month. so people come to this country we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up in the stories that shape the way care now it's a president from 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 busy that's. a gunman burst into a synagogue in the u.s. state of pennsylvania shooting dead eleven people and wounding six others also to come this euro news transatlantic allies canada and the u.s.

appear unwilling to freeze arms sales to saudi arabia in the wake of the killing of dissident journalist. and the german state to pass is facing today in a regional election that could have national ramifications and we can angela merkel's heart full grand coalition. that welcome the latest news and look back what's been happening over the last seven days to you watching the weekly here on r.t. international now on choose 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 don't want also repeated his earlier accusations that moscow was in breach of the i n f accord. right here the agreement should have been done years ago so people come here for money that

anybody else buy for will build it up but still they come when they. will all be large all. by the way not only will we do well moscow insists it hasn't violated the nuclear treaty and believes it should be preserved saying it's in fact washington that hasn't been sticking to it russia's foreign ministry has also said the u.s. sent a list of its concerns to moscow just days before announcing its decision to quit leaving no time to reply under the green mint signed back in one thousand nine hundred seven or shortened made range nuclear in conventional missiles were banned with the exception of those launch to see washington says it's in talks with its european allies about its withdrawal some of which aren't too happy about the move . 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 of 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 plan to pull out of the court 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 the was actually some time for a bit of 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 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. were 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 dated and insisted it should be revised to include other nations most notably china international affairs commentator johnson still believes it's the fear of beijing's growing military might that he's behind trump's plans many commentators think that this is the american decision is linked more to china or them to russia because the chinese are not part of the treaty very been developing their missile capabilities and there are military capabilities and 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 europe but you know the americans want to get out of it so they can start putting missiles the. threat to ditch the treaty says fall in line

with his america first policy but again has more now on the wider ambitions of the president donald trump can be called any number of things bad it all depends on which side you're on interested me enough though it's donald trump that keeps giving donald trump new titles a global this is a person that wants the globe to do well frankly not caring about our country so that's you know what i am and that. 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 center's 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 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. the united states minute. trees one of the most globalist organizations in the world it has bases in roughly every third country one in three nations has a us military base in it that isn't nationalism that's globalism pie just want to see them as well are great now 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 as 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 conceived 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 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 assad. stamboul was politically motivated. our security and intelligence services are still analyzing the info they have it's already clear that the murder of jamal khashoggi was drowned since this is a political assassination also cause the inclusion of possible foreign accomplices . of the saudi royal family has met with the saudis son and brother to express condolences the journalist's 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 of the murder but 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 has been a really great ally they said 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 jobs thousands and thousands of jobs they've been fun to go a lot of things were from statement that was met with huge criticism by some. refusing to cancel multi-billion dollar to saudi arabia in fact so far jim many is the only exception i agree with all those who say that experts which are already

limited must not take place in the concept. and i don't have to reality every single state or city so i won't answer the question. if you are interested in the issues related to this event you join the come but this is not some first let's just listen to me and the press conference reaction of the german chancellor she will take us to the streets again that money has nothing to do with this event nothing. nothing so i want let's get some context on that front 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 present as trying 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 that's worth two billion dollars it's not that we're talking to get a sense from a big market if you discover missiles which correspond to the demands of international and national news. especially considering the u.n. resolution if you mean that i am the head of the government and. 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 are worth almost twelve billion dollars and the prime minister justin trudeau 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 the holding saudi arabia to account for the killing of that journalist it is only acceptable in thinkable 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. 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 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 shouted pinski there will george lucas manage the defense spokes person

for the front party says no crimes will stop europe selling arms to riyadh because of the money involved. we know that there were many a violation of human rights. 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 furder and curious it's sad but the european union and especially our french president mr munder michel he's backing one of the worse your country which is are doing one of the worst war in the world . now in germany all eyes are on the country's region of hesse say today heading to the polls to elect a local government the results of which could have a pretty big impacting nationally we'll have a look at why just off the break. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in this spear in dramatic development the only move really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. 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 quo and they're just policies of hugo. well again now the german region of hessy is going to the polls today to elect a new local government and the result could have a significant impact nationally a threatening angela merkel's hard for grand coalition predicting support for the traditional parties is likely to fall away in favor of the greens another left when forces the right wing alternative for germany party is also expected to strengthen its position as reports the party known for its on the immigration stance is said to chalk up another milestone in german politics just over

a year since they shocked the country by entering the start for the first time polls predict that this sunday alternative for germany will enter the state palm and in head 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 alternative to germany have been campaigning aggressively. but should immigrants want to discriminate that moment a momentous decrease. in fifty. holds a special place for alternative for germany or the day it was at a meeting there back in february twenty third team at the party was formed setting themselves out from the get go as an anti establishment group focused on the economy. the parties in the boom the stag and bring this rats don't do any politics in the interests all consideration of germany and europe. in the five years since

its formation alternative for germany has been widely criticized by those who condemn what they see as its populist and racist. stands. to enjoy many has the rhetoric of the nineteen twenty five and we all know where this two car learned and the continent seats in it even have a blatant problem with anti semitism the whole of the f.t. is an anti liberal and he said that party was. was. 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 in one of the cities in the s. arranging i think at. this sort of thing the election 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 alone 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 snowfall and it doesn't change a thing in the end they've just filled their pockets and continue in this way. that he was right it will help and there's going to be a part of deflection result for all voters it's positive from the sense that they

see you and they ask people you will make it it's highly probable i really expect that to happen. 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 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 the atrocity took place in what is traditionally the busiest day of the week for synagogues human labor rights lawyer dan kadlec was actually in the area at the time when the attack happened we spoke with him there's people gathered 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 built this 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. president trump is ordered flags to be flown at half mast until the end of the month and he also said that the killer should be executed. what 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. the ultimate

right with this is the latest mass shooting at the religious sites in the u.s. and in recent years two similar attacks have claimed the lives of thirty five people. i. want supremacists running is the republican congressional candidates in the chicago area is trying to appeal to voters in the arab community with anti israeli and they'll say anti gay rhetoric jones placed a campaign advertisement in the arab american in an arab american newspaper although he didn't quite get the reaction he was expecting.

the holocaust is a fact you know it's real. ridiculous . white superior to blacks. no course at all that you know that's racist. you know that's true but i consider myself a white ritualised. you've

been watching a weekly here not international went back again in just over half of. the if i. am. the owner of the a. prosecution

leaving in the solar system. and for sure we show the sun's on other. all this of the solar system i see this is a way all bring game i'm developing more technologists new technology so that's becoming even. increase. in improve the quality of life on earth. clone of welcome two worlds apart the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi

in istanbul introduced a compelling 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 and beyond survive this 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 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 degrees the 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 bill story. question i. have sort of. long.

thought probably that. the killing of. that would be the end of the story but clearly that is not the case and the story going to keep spinning and you know the the turks keep putting more pressure the americans keep 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. dismemberment callousness. if mr. resurfaces. 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 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. turkey has security services continue. 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 we were going to see what it's going to result but my problem with this strategy is that the longer he waits. the saudis and the americans are determined to give something back to the turks now present there on him.
