the people's party the f.t. is now represented in every german region after the great success it has. political analyst stephen meissner believes ruling parties are going to need to change their politics if they want to stay in power state election of probably a proxy vote nationally as well that's not just a local thought it will definitely put marco in a weak position she's been getting weaker and weaker as and more and more unpopular and now if they lose and they seem to have lost big there as well again i would expect she'd be under is pretty severe pressure and now. as far as the support on the federal level that at some point this city you is going to have to look for a new face she's getting very unpopular i think she's a more of a liability for the party than she is a positive fact for instance there have been these so-called. demonstrations

going on for about a year and a half now that means in german the english translation is america has to go and i don't ever remember seeing shrewder like the chancellor before passed the goal demonstrations or before him was called i don't ever remember having demonstrations here in germany saying call has to go listen part of the population she's become really highly unpopular. views the u.s. president again threatened a new arms race with russia and china that's just days after he announced he was pulling his country out of a major nuclear treaty signed during the cold war on trump also repeated his earlier accusations moscow was in breach of the i.n.f. accord. right here the agreement should have been done years ago so people come to this we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up until they come to this when they then we'll all be barred. by the way

not only will we do moscow insists to the nuclear treaty and believes it should be preserved saying it's a fact washington that's not been sticking to the deal russia's foreign ministry has recently said the us sent a list of its concerns to moscow just days before announcing that decision to quit even at no time to apply now were under the agreement signed back in ninety seven all shorts and mid range nuclear and conventional missiles were banned with the exception of those launch that c. 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 us 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 a little surprise then that america's plans through pull out of the accord dominated tuesday's meeting between u.s. national security advisor john bolton and president putin over the subject at hand was no laughing matter there was still room for some here. let's look at who knew as far as i remember there is an eagle on the us national emblem and there are 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. 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 says 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 plan 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 variation 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. at trump's threat to ditch the treaty falls in line with his america first policy but i guess if looks into 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 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 architecture 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 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 prove. they do nothing without her proven 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.

heck 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 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. turkey continues to demand the killers of a saudi journalist the brought to trial the turkish president says the murder of. istanbul was politically motivated. it was in our security and intelligence services the still analyzing the info they have it's already clear that the murder of jamal khashoggi was planned well since this is a political assassination we also call for the inclusion of possible foreign accomplices any. the saudi royal family has met with the son and brother to express condolences janice elder son was pictured shaking hands with the saudi crown prince who suspected of orchestrating the killing of his father he left saudi arabia later for washington that's according to some sources the u.s. president this week condemned the coverup of the question as you murder but still squares the importance of continued weapons sales to riyadh cover up was one of the

worst in the history of coverups. so he really has been a really great ally and one of the biggest investors maybe the biggest investor in the 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 funding a lot of things trump statement was met with huge criticism by e.u. powers but they're 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 the concept. and i don't have to react to every single statement. so i want to question. if you are interested in related to this event you can see that this is not from first.

meet the press conference reaction of german chancellor. all that has nothing to do with this event nothing and. nothing so i want let's put 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 president as 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 and national laws especially considering the un resolution despite your mental i am the

head of the government now. legal security not permission to comply with international law. 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 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 the saudi 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 in the situation raises questions 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. the defense spokesman for the france party says no crimes will stop europe selling arms to riyadh simply too much money involved we know that there are many violations of human rights. but above all in yemen it's not 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 further and curious it's sad but the european union especially our friend. he's backing on the worst country which is are doing one of the worst war in the world. italy is twofold one its budget plans despite the e.u. rejecting them more not just off to the states. i would prefer to say that. the human space is must be come into the ground terry wish me instead so we have a leaving in the solar system. and for sure we should expand on other all this sort of system i see this as

a way all bring in and developing more technology this new technology so that we can even learn. increase. in improve the quality of life on earth. circle bamma really was very european in his approach he would be very well suited is an m.e.p. in 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 what we're all here. and.

welcome back to the weekly here and on to international shoes whether flung at faces or banging on podiums to make the occasional appearance from politics now off to the e.u. rejected proposed new budget it was a town of an italian i mean he put his foot. that's the first time the european commission has rejected any member states budget proposal the bloc gave rome three weeks to revise its spending plans but old 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 states budget demanding a resubmission to do for the first as a commission is obliged to have. 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 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 italian budget the e.u. doesn't like no surprise this is the first italian budget written in rome and not in brussels i mean. 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 into the we are note. that.

on. the future. it 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 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 ditch 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 artie. feared an oil leak in the gulf of mexico which has been ongoing for fourteen years could become america's worst ever environmental disaster back in two thousand and four

hurricane ivan slammed into florida's gulf coast severely damaging an offshore drilling operation just off louisiana over the company in charge managed to cover up the incident for a whole six years. thank you. for the gulf of mexico our research your spots of oil coated gas in public and i'm miles long. people are not the only ones who call the now polluted waters for the indigenous animals their birds and wildlife the stakes are high life. time is running.

i suppose the big difference is that with deepwater horizon there was a big explosion and people got killed and so it instantly hit head on and then the loss of oil was released extremely rapidly in the case of the time look at. first the original incident didn't cause any loss of life it was in the context of a major hurricane hurricane ivan and both the company and the american regulators managed to keep the entire incident pretty quiet it's one of those long running accidents which is nice exclusion from a reporting point of view but over the course of fourteen years with as many as seven hundred marios a day of oil being leaked into the gulf it adds up to being the same kind of water as that deep water rose and. about

a twenty fifteen the company in question said there was no evidence that suggests that all directly cause any significant environmental damage it hasn't given any further explanation since that journalists all of a tech out again says even routine oil leaks can result in great damage to the gulf is currently producing something something like twenty percent of america's oil those rather highly rated max fires breaking out every few days there's a high rate of oil spill with routines pollutants in the hundreds of thousands of gallons per year the just through new york. and this entire gulf coast is high in the industrial used and it is bound to concern months of modes and of course those environmental impacts impact other industries which are also tourism and fish roos and show finish this tens of thousands of miles of oil pipelines transect to this entire region and if you've got

a pipeline then you were burned two hundred leaks. this hour's run down for myself and a team that ought to you thanks for staying tuned to join us again in half an hour for the latest global news updates. that. i want to. be able to. find. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us as

a rich one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. say this is holland kentucky. or the places you've already very fine you very well need.
