german region of has said early results suggest the anti migrant party will win a place in the parliament giving it representation in every region in the country. show waning support for traditional parties in favor of the greens and other left wing forces you have to that leader has already congratulated her fellow party members on the result and the ruling christian democrats meanwhile say the elections show they 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. 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. political analyst stephen moore believes the 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 vote it will definitely put 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 he'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 at least in part of the population she's become really highly unpopular. to brazil where after a turbulent and hard fought presidential campaign the right wing populist candidate . has seen off his socialist rival fernando. the former army captain one almost fifty five percent of the vote which turned out to be closer than the polls had been predicted. a controversial figure in brazilian politics he has called for the murder of a sitting president lamented the demise of the country's military dictatorship and launched bitter attacks on women and minority groups he ran on the anti-crime anti-corruption platforms and has proved skillful at engaging with energizing voters. also knowledge workers party opponent fernando dodd is

a former mayor of san paulo he stood as a candidate after jailed former president lula da silva was banned from participating here's a look back at the race and the issues that have defined it. it's not just excitement for a better country we've had enough of corruption from the people enough of the house we're not stupid.

the message underwood ladies and each of you live through that will come out like a democracy i think it's those. earlier i was joined by ron the santos a co-founder of the libertarian movie mento but as illegal today to discuss the impact of that both in ours victory will have on his country and its relations with us. some don't correct that. they were like that today sects are happy. to write a statement about what a selection and action will so not do once you get closer to. the democratic party

was always painted to miniaturize there was. actually receive a political process we sleep each month or so is that sure that they are crying it's part of the game to let what america is now broken because the children. it is said are very. serious messages the stop tryna get to the left how alarming are both scenarios totalitarian leanings for brazilians the people on the ground in terms of the support for the country's former military dictatorship do you think the country wants to return to that. style of government no no no it was not even in discussion among the supporters of the table so nodded yes he took bass he used to make. me really three routine we're adding the bass express he made statements on t.v. and stuff but the corporatists. to boot those they'll be citing he's a columnist for the office he has always said that he would support democracy his

first speech as elected president was a change the constitution and defending our democracy and at the same time it's finally here brazil that we see the left talk of all the focus he sees he used always sees the use brazil two finest into supports the whole of military power the route to regimes america. and 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 it during the cold war donald trump also repeated his earlier accusation saying moscow was in breach of the i.m.f. accord. right now to here in the agreement they should have been done years ago but still people come to this that we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up until they come to this that when they do then we'll all be right and all. that by the way not only will we do moscow insists it hasn't violated

the nuclear treaty and believes it should be preserved saying it was in fact washington that has it 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 decision to quit leaving it no time to reply under the agreement signed back in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven all short and mid range nuclear and conventional missiles were banned with the exception of those launched and seen washington says it is 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 us to consider the possible consequences did us 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 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 reduces the prospects for nuclear disarmament increased

risks for 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 still room for some here. as far as i remember there is an eagle on the u.s. national emblem and there are thirteen hours in one foot's and an olive branch with thirteen olives as a symbol of peaceful policy in the other my question is did you 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 some answers 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 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 trump's plans. 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 asia in 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 and. america is want to get out of it so they can start putting missiles. trump's threat to ditch of the treaty falls in line with his america first policy which is but i gather you have comments 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 really enough though it's

donald trump that keeps giving donald trump new titles a club. 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 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 prove 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 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 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 all by sanctions that's globalism glue lism suits terms 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 an 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. right after the break europe canada and the u.s. roll out any halt to arm sales to saudi arabia that's despite the killing of the saudi journalist who jamal khashoggi. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crime tamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the 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's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let

the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only. barack obama really was very european in his approach he would be very well suited is an m.e.p. in brussels for example is that 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 about here. are welcome back this is the weekly here on r t international now turkey continues to demand of the killers of a saudi journalist are brought to trial the turkish president says the murder of jamal khashoggi and is tumble was politically motivated. that it was in our

security and intelligence services is still analyzing the info they have it's already clear they're. the murder of jamal khashoggi well since this is a political assassination we also account for the inclusion of possible foreign accomplices. the saudi royal family has met with son and brother to express condolences to journalists eldest son was pictured shaking hands with the saudi crown prince who is suspected of orchestrating the killing of his father he later left to saudi arabia for washington this according to sources the us president this week condemned the cover up of the could show murder but still stressed the importance of continued weapons sales to really. cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups. saudi arabia's bit of really great ally they had 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 funding go a lot of things. that statement was met with huge criticism by e.u. powers but they are 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 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 are interested in the issues related to this event. but this is not. a press conference to react 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 has tried to play down the trade relations between the two countries the figures 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 which if you meant that i am the head of the government now. legal security that promotion 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 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 rolled out 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 arabia just behind 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 over whether they'll be applied when the prime in the situation raises questions about this when she said

she would be ticking over saudi arabia the new congress every situation where today would be sanctions against the country it seems with the worry germany is the only country it's going alone and putting its neck out in suspending and canceling these contracts. all right you know to get. the defense a spokesperson for the france. party says that no crimes will stop europe selling arms to riyadh because there's too much money involved. we know that there were many a violation of human rights in saudi arabia but above all in yemen and it's not time anymore for just words it's time for action and i think that just 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 michael he's backing one of the

worst you can tree which is really doing one of the worst war in the world. city football club has confirmed that its owner. schriever province was one of five people killed in a helicopter crash close to its ground on sunday night. probably . the helicopter that left the king power stadium an hour after his club's a one on one draw with west ham. where this is have said that it appeared to spiral out of control seconds after takeoff before it crashed to a car park football clubs and supporters across the u.k. have been paying tribute to the least her owner. and there was a he was a billionaire a thai businessman who had bought the east midlands football club in two thousand and ten and brought its huge success. and that does it for me i'll be back with

more of the week with top of the hour stay with us. if it. was. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i

don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. with lawmakers manufacture consensus instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. with the five. percent. to ignore middle of the room sick. leave. the real news. i would prefer to say that. the human space is 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 all bring in and developing more technologists new technologies so that they can even land. increase and in improve the quality of life on earth. well. this is the paradigm the land. five years ago it was all grass. like that over there now we have this pumper going day in day out we didn't have

any choice really we could have put it over that way or ways i mean we could have moved it a little bit. but we have to let the people who own the mineral rights get to those minorities and they compensated us for what they took here but the company built it and we have it now for all next forty years i'm guessing i don't know. my house up there from there we have we used to have a beautiful view. now we have this to look at brings in a little bit of money. very little if they took us out of here and get back all the money i made off of it. during going to have a. someday

you know an oil is all pumped out of the ground they will come back here and level it all out and turn it back into farmland but that's you know like i say it's going to be out of most of our lifetimes it would be out of mind for sure. you have nothing to say about where. i should say i have nothing to say you can suggest but they don't have to listen to you don't i mean you have no legal say in it put it that way so they can put a wherever they want they don't need any your permission foreign oil industry follows a proper practice is i don't think will have a problem but there's always that if me if they don't then we could have an issue

in the biggest issue would be to to groundwater as i see it when we live in rural areas most of us depend on wells for our our drinking water and all the water we use in our old so if that would happen it would be a very bad thing. as all that fracturing job that's where they pump the sand the fluid and you know the chemicals they use s. it is one they use a chemical called bio bio it kills all biological elements so so when they pump out that often in a ground any kind of bacteria is going to kill any kind of living organism of any cat it kills it because one of our guy has. a he has some of it on his hands and light and i just i'm just swollen his hand will bad because that's when my old bio bio.
