members for the result. with the people's party the f.t. is now represented in every german region after the great success it has. ok let's go live now to hugh bronson member of the burn in parliament from the f.t. party thanks for joining us surrogates have you on the program a good night for the f.t. then presumably your you're happy with the result yes of course i'm very happy with the result fantastic results for our party and has see thank you very much thank you to all the supporters to everyone who's worked tirelessly to make sure that we've entered now the last of the sixteen federal regional governments in germany why do you think it is that the ruling heavyweights there the christian democrats the social democrats who've really dominated the german mainstream for many years are losing ground while nationwide. yes of course it has

a has been a disaster for german mainstream politics one of the big reasons is of course migration now people don't want to talk about it in germany the mainstream parties don't want to talk about this but it's a fact that the ordinary german on the street is confronted with every single day we have a huge problem with open borders no nation refugees welcome this is the motto of the city you of the green party of the social democrats and this has been strange people and people are looking for different solutions to different audiences and they're turning to the f.t. because we are making these issues. part of the debate we're having every single day so this clearly is a strong no no for i'm going to america and speaking of angela merkel what does this mean for germany's grand coalition i mean in the grand scheme of things it's

not going to make things fall apart but part of a wide apart and it's really going to put under pressure isn't it. yes of course the pressure has grown the pressure is immense now the only reason i'm going to america is not calling for a snap election which would be the normal reaction following the results of bavaria and now an hessy is there petrified of the results in the city you lost ten percent of the s.p.d. the social democrats they left last ten percent and there's no sign that they're going to recover in a general election so they just clinging onto power no matter what what do you say to those that say perhaps the party's the on the left like the greens there is a chance of them perhaps forming a coalition to counter you know merkel's grand coalition should it suffer but they have rather alienated and they certainly have become more mainstream from the margins of politics like they were but no party is willing to form a coalition with the f.t.

is far as i'm aware so in that sense they are still on the margins are not capable of taking power. well of course a be. attacked by the mainstream parties from the very left to the to the conservative formally conservative c.d.u. because the f.t. is a new come on the scene we've been now around for five years i do massive success in every single election there's been and the other parties the old parties absolutely petrified and afraid to talk to us because people are turning to us and we are gaining massive support in germany and the others are just simply afraid to lose their status to lose power and to give up their old belief that post where germany in the policy that served us for more than seventy is is still suitable for the new century which it isn't should i'm going to compromise on the issue of borders and

migration which is really the key issue that your party has been pushing do you feel that kind of similar to the bukit party in the u.k. once brics as been won they will fall into relevance so should angela merkel compromise on that do you think your party will subsequently lose votes in popularity. i'm not afraid of that because america will never do that never ever she even said earlier this year after the new coalition was formed i don't even know what i could have done better she doesn't even see the mistakes he's made the massive big mistakes she doesn't realise the great distance she has from the german people who. are afraid of their for their savings for education for cheap housing for affordable housing for everything and battle is not giving the right answers so she won't change the system or change the conservatives to formally conservative party who are still supporting her they're not changing because they know if there's going to be

a massive change they will lose seats they will lose power and influence and they're trying to find a way but there's no sign of any change whatsoever ok hugh bronson member of the berlin parliament from the old center for germany party thanks for your insight today on that story thank you very much for having me. 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 also repeated his earlier accusation saying moscow was in breach of the i.n.f. accord. right here as noted 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 will then we'll all be right and wrong. and by the way not only will we do the most consistent as of violating

the treaty and believes it should be preserved saying it's washington that's not been sticking to the deal russia's foreign ministry said the u.s. sent a list of its concerns to moscow just days before its decision to quit leaving it little time to reply under the agreement signed nine hundred eighty seven all short and mid range nuclear and conventional missiles were banned will be exception of those launched at sea and washington says it's in talks with its european allies about withdrawing softly aren't 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. to ensure its cool and verifiable implementation which of

course is crucial for europe's and global security problem is this 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 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. yesterday have stated that they support the american position predictably enough there is concern that this. prospects for nuclear disarmament increases risks for west 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 the russian president although the

subject at hand was certainly no laughing matter there's still room for some humor . you know 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 your eagle 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 you 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 for the i.n.f. treaty itself john bolton called it outdated and insists that 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'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. the treaty which we're talking about prevents the americans of course deploying missiles not just in europe but you know asia as well and the americans want to get out of it so they can start putting missiles. trumps threat to ditch the treaty falls in line with his america first policy what i guess the of has more on the water 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 really enough though it's donald trump that keeps giving donald trump new titles a global. 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 of buff all us. 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 when 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 movement 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 arming 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 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 he isn't catholic just in a few moments you're kind of us rule out any sales to saudi arabia at this point

the killing of the saudi journalist you stay with us. lot of statements in 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 here and there but i think saudi arabia is hugely important to the united states and i think trump and stance that 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. if you go. really was very european and his approach would be very well suited. 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. welcome back to the weekly turkey continues to demand the killers of a saudi journalist brought to trial the turkish president says the my. was politically motivated. it was in our security and intelligence services are still analyzing we infer they have it's already clear that the murder of jamal khashoggi was drowned but since this is a political assassination we're also closely inclusion of possible foreign accomplices. the saudi royal family has met with son and brother to express

condolences journalists elder son was pictured shaking hands with a saudi crown prince who suspected of walk a straight in the killing of his father he later left saudi arabia for washington according to some sources the u.s. president this week condemned the cover up of g.'s murders but still stressed the importance of continued weapon sales to riyadh. cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups. saudi arabia's been a really great ally they've been 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. thousands and thousands of jobs they've been funding a lot of things statement was met with huge criticism by e.u. powers but they're also refusing to cancel multibillion dollar arms sales to saudi

arabia 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 concert. and i don't have to react to every single statement lida makes so i won't answer that question. if you're not interested in the issues related to this event don't come with you but this is not a press conference. and it's not a press conference to react to all german chancellor. i mean all that has nothing to do with this event nothing and. nothing so i won't let's get some context on that for. 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 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 especially considering the un resolution if you meant that i am the head of the government. legal security not permission to comply with international law. and it can 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 role that the holding saudi arabia to account for the killing of 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 the arabia just behind me us with heels worth around fifteen billion dollars now the idea of sanctions was following 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 maze was questioned about this all she said is that she would speak to the king of saudi arabia new 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 georgia because one of its few different spokesperson for the france party says no crimes will stop europe selling arms to riyadh because the simply too much money involved we know that there are many violations of human rights. but above all in yemen and it's not dying when you're more for just words it's time for action and i think that just buying time by saying that they will wait for and curious it's sad but the european union and especially our french president. he's backing one of the worst country which is really doing one of the worst war in the world. white supremacists running as the republican congressional candidates in the chicago area is trying to appeal to voters in the arab community with anti israel and anti-gay rhetoric on the jones

place the campaign advisor sponsored an arab american newspaper though he didn't quite get the reaction he expected. the holocaust is a fact. you know it's real. ridiculous . for white superior blacks. no question about it you know that's racist. you know that's true but i consider myself a way to. separate

us out from the self and the team had all to join us again in thirty five minutes for the latest global news updates. 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 rush to a small town in north dakota was among the employment rate of zero percent like

gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and the bus station 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 deal with. i would prefer to say they're the human spaces must become into prana terry wish me instead so we have a leaving in the solar system. and for sure we show the sounds on other on other all this of the solar system i see this as a way of bringing in and developing more technologists new technology so that's becoming eve learn let's say increase in the end improve the quality of life on earth.

exists is hotter than kentucky. we've all moved the employees to the boardroom street fanny's leave. a ko money says. no. all the. people. disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger 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.

welcome to worlds apart the killing of saudi journalists. into the middle east policies of several key players all to take a hard look at both values. well the current geopolitical alignment. survived the challenge. that i'm now joined by yuri barmen the middle east and north africa of the russian international affairs council your it's 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. do they even need to come up with the believe story. question i mean the saudis 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 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 as 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. you come up with the charges this reserved all the

evidence i think the strategy. 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. 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 there are hardly. human rights there are numerous reports of his own security services being implicated in the kidnapping of turkish nationals abroad there are numerous reports of people dying in turkish jail waiting for. sometimes years on and do you think there is any person. in the most possible way.

of human rights.
