disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that is 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 happening it's happened. with. the f.t. is now represented in the region after the great success it has. early results in the german region of has suggested a decline in popularity for the ruling coalition together with a rise for the anti migrant. seats in every single regional parliament.

controversial right wing a populist. swept to power in brazil's presidential election. so people come to this that we have more money than anybody else but we'll build it up in the stories that shaped the week president 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 it's a transatlantic allies canada and of the us appear unwilling to freeze arms sales to saudi arabia in the wake of the killing of dissident journalist jamal khashoggi . broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our international and sean thomas with you as we were. capped the week's top stories with our weekly program.

or accounting is underway and local elections in the german region of hessen exit polls suggest the anti migrant party will win a place in the parliament giving it representation in every region in the country. the they also show waning support for traditional parties in favor of the greens and other left wing forces the leader has already congratulated her fellow party members on the results and of the ruling christian democrats meanwhile say that the elections show that they need to rethink their policies with the people's party the f.t. is now represented in every job and region after the great success it has brought with us highs 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 i mean has it in the. right political analyst steve in my

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 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 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. the goal demonstrations or before him was cold i don't ever remember having demonstrations here in germany saying cole has to go at least in part of the population she's become really highly unpopular. now to brazil where after a turbulent and hard fought presidential campaign the right wing populist candidate jaya both snarl has seen off his socialist rival fernando. and the former army captain won almost fifty five percent of the vote which turned out to be closer than the polls had been predicting cuts 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 a bitter attacks on women and minority groups he ran on an anti-crime anti-corruption platform and has proved skillful at engaging with and energizing voters. both

scenarios workers party opponent fernando 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. thank . you. it's not just excitement for about a country we've had enough of corruption and of securing from the people enough of seeing our health care we're not stupid.

thank. you. thank you i saw people a mess excuse him on the road ladies in a two months who have lived through that will come out of the homes to fight for democracy i can't help that those people. and i was joined earlier by a group of anon santos from the libertarian movie mento but i leave it to a group to discuss why so many brazilians lend their support to both in our own particularly in light of the country's past how larning 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 shit. yes he took bass he used to make the fans the media the three regime we had to pass express he made statements on t.v. and stuff but the corporatists. three to who besides he is a columnist for the he's always said that he would support democracy speech as an elected president was a change the constitution and defending our democracy and same time it's fine for brazil that we see the last talk of all democracies he used always he said to use brazil to finest into supports. a leader to reach the root. america. on friday a group of us democrats sent a letter to secretary of state my pump asking him to condemn bolton are all the lawmakers insisted a victory for the far right candidate would pose

a threat to democracy and human rights in brazil. gave us his thoughts on the concern in washington as well. some don't correct them today they were like expecting six or income. to state with a selection election was so moderate or skip closer to. the democrat party was always a bit too many shows their positions oh mercy don't actually receive a political process least impeachment so is that sure that they are crying the game . is broken because the children. and. she was asked that you go to stop this rather than get the left. 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 yet not adhere to 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 but until they come to this when they do then we'll all be barred every stop and by the way not only will read you. must go insists it has them violated the nuclear treaty and believes it should be preserved saying it is in fact washington that has not been sticking to the deal russia's foreign ministry has recently said the u.s. 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 nine hundred eighty seven all short and made it range nuclear in the conventional missiles were banned with the exception of those launched at sea 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 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 western europe and its people. will 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 some room for humor. as far as i remember there is an eagle on the us national emblem and they're off 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 eat all the olives and leave just the arrows but. 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.m.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 than to russia because the chinese are not part of the treaty 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 and the treaty which we're talking about prevents the americans because

deploying missiles not just in europe and in asia as well and the americans want to get out of it so they can start putting missiles. trumps a threat to ditch in the treaty falls in line with his america first policy but artie's my god 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 globalist is a person that wants to float to do well frankly not caring about our country so much 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 inches above all else our mirka. now if i may mr president you could be confused about what those words mean it's right there in any dictionary globalism and 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 they will do without or approve they do nothing without our

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 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 why arming local rebels to the teeth or financing the opposition by sanctions that's globalism glow lism chance 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. 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 schrade face that really isn't catholic. turkey continues to demand the killers of a saudi journalist are brought to trial the turkish president says the murder of jamal khashoggi in istanbul 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 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 kushal ji son and brother to express condolences the journalists elder son was pictured shaking hands with in the saudi crown prince who is suspected of orchestrating the killing of his father he later left saudi arabia for washington according to sources u.s. president this week condemned the cover up of the khashoggi 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 it really is a bit of really great ally that 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 where trump statement was met with huge criticism by e.u.

powers but they're refusing to cancel multibillion dollar arm 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 console. 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. and it's not a press conference of german chancellor. all that has nothing to do with this event nothing. nothing so i want let's put some context on that front says 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

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 i am the head of the government now. legal security not permission to comply with international obligations and it'll 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 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 and i think. 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 to saudi arabia just behind me us with heels worth around fifteen billion dollars now the idea of sanctions it was. the foreign secretary jeremy hunt but no clear indication of what those sanctions could be over whether they'll be applied when priming the situation maes was questioned about this when she said he would speak to the king of saudi arabia the new concrete insulation 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 go to. the defense spokesperson for the france bowed party says that no crimes will stop europe selling arms to riyadh because there's too much money involved. we know that there are many violations of human rights. but above all in yemen and it's not time anymore for just words it's time for action and i think they're just buying time by saying that they will wait for further and periods it's sad but. european union pressure or french president. is backing on the worst country which is really doing one of the worst war in the world. thousands of environmental activists gathered in western germany on saturday

in an attempt to save a tract of ancient woodland the remainder of forest could soon be felled by the energy giant are dug. he which intends to expand its mining operation in the area the bulk of the demonstrators blocked a railway line preventing coal from leaving the company's mine police had to use water cannons to disperse of the activist some of whom clashed with officers tens of other protesters occupied excavator environmentalist's have been battling to save forest which is owned by r w e for years even establishing a tree house community there they argue that the twelve thousand year old area of woodland which is home to a rare species of bat qualifies for protection under the conservation law. that's just city football club has confirmed that its owner. was one of five people killed in a helicopter crash close to its grounds on saturday night. and his helicopter left

the power stadium an hour after his club's one to one draw with west witnesses have said that it appeared to spiral out of control seconds after takeoff before it crashed in a car park football clubs and supporters across the u.k. have been paying tribute to the lister owner he was a thai billionaire businessman who had bought the east midlands football club in two thousand and ten and brought in huge success. does it for me i'll be back with more of the weekly the top the hour stay with us. i've been saying the numbers mean they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten point zero or more in tempe.

eighty five percent of global wealth to the rich with six percent. markets saw a thirty percent rise one of your own with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and one 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 numbers you need remember one one business showed you know ford to miss the one and only. trauma 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 of america's poles in terms of even though. i would prefer to say they're the human space is must become into prana terry wish me instead so we have a living in the solar system. and for sure we show that spans on other on other all this of the solar system i see this as a way all bring in them developing more technologists new technologies so that they can even learn let's say increase in the in improve the quality of life on earth. as you know as an average of

a little. it's always such serious security you know like all wastes always a couple dumps show you place a toll on the streets well i don't actually it's easier you know like that i don't want too much attention. here you know. singing into tain and you know for a lady to go on the stage and perform from people openly it is considered a taboo in afghanistan and iran i just don't want. to do the best out of the jungle to go down i wouldn't. look for most of. those who are down or are. making film in the country to go and see them or you know we don't have foam in this studio we don't have a cd to this country it was. really good so don't see it. so we'll see it

getting. bigger very much hello i want to go to justin commission but there. is still a record of them now that i delivered it to trust. that we have that but that it came to me. as that record high peter barber can be tiresome had asked me which at that time to enjoy me some extensive joe made the kind of stack that is even going to be good our discussion on drugs that he could get he gets caught and not just decide we couldn't care act a playwright dressed like a kid doing that but told it will fade out from the stuff you know that could call when none. of us might have no fear all you want to put on a tragedy with a whole edition of us who don't know what it costs us the ball you know the snowy what dean is snowstorms go off.
