i. was. with the peoples party the f.t. is now represented in every region after the great success. early results in a german region of just the decline in popularity for the ruling coalition to get a rise for the current d. which now has seats in every single regional parliament. the people come to say we have more money than anybody else but we'll build it up in the stories that

shape the week 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. and europe and its transatlantic allies canada and the u.s. appear unwilling to freeze arms sales to saudi arabia in the wake of the killing of dissident journalists. so welcome to the weekly here on out international life with me daniel hawkins wherever you are tonight thanks so much for joining us on the program. accounting is officially underway in the local elections in the german region of early results suggest the anti migrant will win a place in the parliament that gives it representation in every region in the country. the with the you also

show waning support for traditional parties in favor of the greens and other left wing forces they have to use leader has already congratulated her fellow party members on the result and the ruling christian democrats meanwhile say the elections show the need to rethink their policies with the people's party the f.t. is now represented in every german region after the great success it has brought with us host this evening there was a very mixed message has there once the christian democratic union to continue leading this state many people have shown during this election that it must be different not in his sense. of 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 markel 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 a pretty severe pressure 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 merkel 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. on tuesday the u.s.

president again threatened a new arms race with russia and china just days after he announced he was pulling its 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 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 until they can get there when they will then we'll all be right at war. and by the way not only will we. lost hasn't violated the nuclear treaty and believes it should be preserved saying it's in 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 its the solution to quit even at little time to reply under the agreement signed in one thirty seven

all shorter and mid range nuclear unconventional 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 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 did 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 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 it would be europe western europe that would become the nuclear battlefield and there's some concern. and 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. 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 president putin and although the subject at hand was no laughing matter there was little room for a little humor. as far as i remember there is an eagle on the u.s. 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 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 him 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.m.f. treaty itself john bolton call it outdated and insists it should be revised to include other countries most notably china international affairs commentator jonathan steele believes it's the fear of beijing's growing military might behind trump's plans. many commentators think that this is the american decision is linked more to china than to russia because the chinese are not part of the treaties they've been developing their missile capabilities and there are military capabilities in southeast asia in the south china sea and the americans want to be

able to confront them there and the treaty which we're talking about now prevents the americans of course deploying missiles not just in europe but in asia as well and the americans want to get out of it so they can start putting missiles. trump's threat to ditch the treaty falls in line with his america first policy or i guess the if as more on the wire the 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 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 america's interests 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 current. 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 regimes 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 by sanctions that's globalism glow lism suits chants purposes 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. he continues to demand the killers of a saudi journalist are brought to trial the turkish president says the murder of jamal khashoggi in a stumble was politically motivated. it was in 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 we also call for the inclusion of possible foreign accomplices any. other saudi royal family has met with cash orgies son and brother to express condolences the journalists elder son was pictured shaking hands with the saudi crown prince who suspected of orchestrating the killing of his father in the left saudi arabia for washington according to sources the us president this week condemned the cover up of the car shows the murder but still stressed the importance of continuing weapon sales to riyadh. cover-up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups. so he really has been a really great hour 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 found to go a lot of things. with huge criticism by you powers but also refusing to counsel multi-billion dollar to saudi arabia 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 console. 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 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 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 the president has tried to play down the trade relations between the two countries the figure is light 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 about the obligations on the taken by the previous government which correspond to the demands of international and national laws especially considering the un resolution. if you mean that i am the head of the government now. legal security is not going 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 rolled out than 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 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 when she said. looking saudi arabia the new concrete information 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. because one of its three different spokesman for the front sunbelt party says no crimes will stop europe selling arms to riyadh is simply too much money involved we know that there are many violations of human rights. in yemen and it's not your more for words it's time for. action and i think they're just buying time by saying that they will wait for furder and curious it's sad but the european union and the especially our french president mr munder michael he's backing one of the worst country which is really doing one of the worst war in the world. italy vows to hold on its budget plans despite the e.u.

rejecting them more about story after the short break.

the 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. this is exactly what was driving his kind of commentary on the. killing i think that's going to change the status of america's use of hugo. shoes flung at. podiums. politics now off to the e.u. project to propose a new budget it was the talk of an italian m.e.p. to put his foot down.

it is the first time the european commission has rejected any member states budget proposal but gave rome three weeks to revise its spending plans court style 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 state's budget demanding a resubmission. for the first time as a commission is obliged to a. country that it was off budget to be blunt. but we seen nor. to do so it is really into the whole. the e.u. claims that italy's debt situation is out of control and that solving these

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. you tell me an economy is healthy and this is an economic move that will give italy distributing 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 the new movie 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 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 r.t. . as 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 of louisiana however the company in charge managed to cover up the incident for a whole six years. thanks

thanks. thanks. flying over the gulf of mexico our research coated gas and bubbling and i'm miles long. people are not the only ones who call the now polluted waters for the indigenous animals there are countless birds and wildlife the stakes are high life or death time is rather. i suppose the big difference is that. arose when there was a big explosion and people got killed instantly and a lot and then the loss of more was released extremely rapid in the case of the.

first the original incident. and you see. it was in the context of her and her and both the company and the american regulators managed to keep the entire incident pretty quiet it's one of those no accidents which. part of the cool food. with this menu seven hundred marios a daily. into the go it adds up to being the same kind of food as the roads and. twenty fifteen the company in question said there was no evidence is just that all having a leak or any significant environmental damage doesn't give any explanation since the journalist automatic al again says even routine oil leaks can result in great damage. the gulf is currently producing something something like twenty percent of america's oil is rather

a highly rated maxence refiners breaking news every few days. with routines pollutants in the hundreds of thousands of pounds per year the just through new york. and this entire gulf coast is high in the industrial used. bound unique concert amounts of modes and of course there is environmental impacts impact other industries which are also my tourism and fisheries show finish this tens of thousands of miles of oil pipelines transects in this entire region and if you put a pipeline then you were burned two hundred leaks. out from the team of myself that say it all this hour a good night for myself as well thomas will be with you throughout the night guiding you through the latest.

financials and i'm. going to visit this question this way there's a. good there's a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something you're going to man. something overseas or the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in the. need to do some serious wounds are ok let's see
