10:03 pm
that 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 america 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 the c.d.u. 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 macro 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

fight for democracy i think that those people earlier i was joined by. from the libertarian movement oh but as a lever a group to discuss why so many brazilians it led to their support to both and 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 shape. yes he looked as he used to make the chance to meet the three regime we had to pass express he made statements on t.v. and start the corporatists. three to who besides he is a columnist for the office he has always said that he would support democracy his

process used impeachment so is that crying it's a game. what. is broken because the children. and. she was messages that stop this rather than get to the left. on tuesday the u.s. president again to threaten to 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. head by the way not only will we do moscow insists it has in violated the nuclear treaty and believes it should be preserved saying it is in
10:10 pm
fact washington that has it not been sticking to the deal russia's foreign ministry has recently said that the u.s. sent a list of its concerns to moscow just days before announcing its decision to quit leaving 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 at sea washington says it is in talks with its european allies about its withdrawal and 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 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. it to ensure its cool and verifiable implementation which of
10:11 pm
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. a little surprise then that america has plans to pull out of the corded dominated tuesday's meeting between u.s.
10:12 pm
national security advisor john bolton and president putin and although the subject at hand was a no laughing matter there was still some room for some humor. a little couple new as far as i remember there was 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. and grateful for the items. did you speak with you on behalf of president and hopefully i'll have some answers for you but i didn't bring any more although. 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
10:13 pm
trump's plan. many commentators think that this is the american decision is linked more to china's them to russia because the chinese are not part of the treaty very been developing their missile capabilities and 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 generation as well as want to get out of it so they can start putting missiles. trumps a threat to ditch the treaty falls in line with it's his america's first policy but i 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 lee enough though it's donald trump that keeps giving donald trump new
10:14 pm
titles a globalist is a person that wants the globe to do well frankly not caring about our country somas you know 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
10:15 pm
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 prove they do nothing without proof 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 it's really really globalist as well.
10:16 pm
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 a 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 via arming local rebels to the teeth or financing the opposition by sanctions that's globalism glue 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
10:17 pm
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. turkey
10:18 pm
continues to demand the killers of a saudi journalist brought to trial the turkish president says the murder of jamal khashoggi in some but was politically motivated. our security and intelligence services the still analyzing the info they have it's already clear that the murder of jamal khashoggi was well since this is a political assassination we also call for the inclusion of possible foreign accomplices. the saudi royal family has met with the son and brother to express condolences of the journalists eldest son was pictured shaking hands with the saudi crown prince who is suspected of orchestrating the killing of his father the later he then left saudi arabia for washington this according to sources u.s. president this week condemned the cover up of the khashoggi murder but still stressed the importance of continued weapon sales to riyadh cover up was one of the
10:19 pm
worst in the history of cover ups. saudi arabia's bit of really great 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. 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 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. 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 impressed.
10:20 pm
me and it's not a press conference german chancellor. i mean 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 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 that's worth two billion dollars. by the previous government which correspond to the demands of international and
10:21 pm
national laws especially considering the un resolution if you're mental 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 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 king that which is the second biggest
10:22 pm
supplier of to saudi arabia just behind 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 the prime in the situation raises questions about this event then she said she would be to go thing of saudi arabia the new congress gives a shit 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. i go to. the defense spokesperson for the france on bowed party says no crimes will stop europe selling arms to riyadh because there's no 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 dying when you're more
10:23 pm
for just words it's time for action and i think that just buying time by saying that they would wait for further and curious it's sad but the european union the especially our french president. he's backing one of 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. w.e. 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 the activists some of whom clashed with officers tens of
10:24 pm
other protesters occupied an excavator environmentalist's have been battling to save forest which is owned by r. w. e. for years with some 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 e.u. conservation law. less 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 his helicopter left the king power stadium and hour after his club's one all draw with west them 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 leicester owner he was a billionaire businessman who had fought the east midlands football club in two
10:25 pm
thousand and ten and huge success when i was there for me i will be back with more the weekly of the top of the hour. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar
10:26 pm
a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one does not show you can't afford to miss the one and only. trying to help you come 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 it going to 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 policy because i view the. dot. dot dot. while d.v.c.
