12:05 am
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. the translation is america has to go and i don't ever remember seeing shrewder like the chance to before us to go demonstrations or before he was cold i don't ever remember having demonstrations here in germany saying kohl has to go at least in part of the population she's become really highly unpopular. under brazil now where after a turbulent and hard fought presidential campaign the right wing populist candidate

12:11 am
shortly after taking off from the capital jakarta early on monday morning i'm joined now by aviation expert ron bishop who can give us some more least shed some light on the situation thanks for being with us. so. the plane crashed shortly after takeoff and we know it's very early in the investigation in fact it's still in the recovery phase what if anything might we tell. from this incident. in terms of the cause. well we know for sure that those who go. to the accident right up until you go to that would be. just the one hundred one board other than that we don't know or. think that it happened within thirteen minutes. to go so that. probably within
12:12 am
that time were just shortly after that. whole. time to need to call in the incident at this point it's hard to speculate but it would. really be too too much weight sometimes. just on the. now we know that lion air has a low safety rating in fact many indonesian based companies do as well do you think there have been proper oversight on the part of the authorities in this case. at this point it's who are livid so they do it do great pretty well in the ratings of one of the one of the lowest on the scales so. this could be a safety issue. with. most incidents are right around eighty percent of them accidents or. related so. so we'll have to see
12:13 am
how it works but it did happen right after takeoff so that holds a few things but right now. there's just no way we can. it's always very interesting in the early hours of these events everybody wants to have answers they want to know exactly what happened and then of course it's impossible to tell until an investigation takes place but about the safety standards we know that different countries monitor different airlines and the aviation industry in general . in different ways do you think that the standards in this case will be scrutinized more so in the wake of the disaster. oh yes especially if there is fault especially if on some fault or form and this goes the procedures issue or lack to see who's issue sure there's going to be lots of votes of interest and we saw this with malaysia airlines. even if it's some point you made three seven where
12:14 am
they have no idea what happened it will in the way in the people start flying with them and so what happens then you see that with a lot of airlines where the houses. are passed the numbers will drop substantially and soon it's a live feed of what happened and if it was it was no one's fault all right and briefly what about the indonesian airline industry as a whole how strong are the safety right elations there from what you can tell. oh well the intention is there it's just what happens you know what what happens in division what the institutions there in. the airlines and surely no one still wakes up in the morning and say hey we don't want to be the worst airliner or the bottom . the bottom rung of the year last well when they go to the good in what happens on the fly it all really depends on the. what the structure of the
12:15 am
system the safety systems the board how much they put towards that you know a low cost on. that taken care of but in this case we won't know the source speculation that something has been what they have we don't know they. were. very quickly very interesting to hear your thoughts ron bishop an aviation expert help us kind of make some sense of the situation and we know that the investigation won't be. going over we can come to you again as we know more information. things. all right switching gears now 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 accusations 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
12:16 am
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 right at war . and 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 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 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 withdraw some of which aren't too happy about the move. 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
12:17 am
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. 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 new quest fresh oil 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. and i think a great deal of concern amongst all european leaders except the united kingdom
12:18 am
yesterday have stated that they support the american position predictably enough there is concern that this. prospects for nuclear disarmament increases risks for west europe and its people. a 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 is still some room for humor. as far as i remember there is an eagle on the u.s. national emblem and they're off thirteen hours in one foot's an olive branch with thirteen olives as a symbol of peace food 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
12:19 am
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 is the fear of beijing's growing military might that is behind the transplants 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 of the south china sea and the americans want to be able to confront them. the treaty which we're talking about prevents the americans of course deploying missiles not just in europe but you know americans want to get out of it so they can start putting missiles. threatened to do. the treaty falls in line with his america first policy and he's got our guns and comments now on the
12:20 am
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 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
12:21 am
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 or approve. they do nothing without a 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
12:22 am
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 us military base in it that isn't nationalism that's good lobel ism i just want to see venezuela 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 by arming local rebels to the teeth or financing the opposition by
12:23 am
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 product. it's ideology it's politics on every what it could they called it american
12:24 am
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 of the killers of a saudi journalist to are brought to trial the turkish president says that 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 try and since this is a political assassination we also call for the inclusion of possible foreign accomplices. the royal saudi family has met with the son and brother to express condolences the journalists eldest son was pictured shaking
12:25 am
hands with the saudi crown prince who is suspected of orchestrating the killing of his father you are left to 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 weapons sales to riyadh. cover-up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups. so he really has been a really great ally 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 they go a lot of things. a statement was made 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.
12:26 am
which is 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 impress. me and the press conference german chancellor. has nothing to do with this event nothing and. nothing so i want let's get 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 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
12:27 am
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. on the taken by the previous government which correspond to the demands of international and national laws especially considering the. and i solution if you mean that i am the head of the government now. legal security 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
12:28 am
holding a billion dollar bill because we're trying to move forward on doing the right thing seems not much also coming from begin the united kingdom which is the second biggest supplier of 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 minister to recent days was questioned about this all she said is that he 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 georgian. defense spokesperson for the france on bode
12:29 am
a party says 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. in yemen and it's not. or 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 and especially our french president mr murray michael he's backing on the worst country which is are doing one of the worst war in the world. thousands of environmental activists gathered in western germany on saturday in the attempt to track to save a track of ancient woodland now the remainder of the humble forest could soon be felled by the energy giant r. w. e. which intends to expand its mining operation in the area the bulk of the
