also insisted that despite media reports to the contrary u.s. intelligence had not officially concluded the saudi crown prince had ordered the killing of the us president was asked by reporters on thursday who should be held responsible. maybe the world should be only honorable cause the world is a vicious bush world is a very very vicious place the statement indicates a change in trumps rhetoric regarding the case when the news about the missing journalist post broke a trump a valid a harsh response even threatening to sanction saudi arabia and while the us did sanction several saudi nationals so far that's been washington's only punitive measure trump claims he does not want to risk thousands of jobs because of this incident they are vehemently denying and we have hundreds of thousands of jobs just two people really want me to give up hundreds of thousands of jobs and frankly

if we went by their standard we wouldn't be able to have anybody who's in our right because look at what happens all over the world journalist jamal how short she was last seen entering saudi arabia's istanbul consulate in october he was initially considered missing but saudi officials eventually admitted to being killed in a claimed rogue operation riyadh has denied any awareness of the planned killing and as long as an investigation charging eleven officials a middle east analyst ziad not out of told us that trump is simply protecting u.s. interests. but trouble saying here is what is actually said behind closed doors every single time i don't think it's sitting well with a lot of people that is the only truth of their illusions politicly we all need an enemy and since you aren't so ready are at odds and iran and israel are that are are just the us is going to go against iraq we can't get it to try president tom's mind. you know on one hand he may be actually trying to protect us interests on the

other hand if he sees this ultimate outcome is coming he may be politically trying to absolve himself from blame where you can point back to everything you said and since there's i don't want to do that but all of you who made this happen so don't blame it on me. reports say twenty five people killed and dozens injured as gunman tried to storm the chinese consulate in the pakistani city of karachi police also reportedly claim to have eliminated three people who were involved the following video capture the moment the gunfire started inside the consulate. the presence of the pollution the security forces are very much do it in the not only chinese consulate there were more of them. terrorist. is going to. be used and good leads. there as it is very kind of this there was

there will be serious diplomatic consequences for a country that says that it is a friend and ally of the united kingdom for months ahead just wife says her repeated requests for help have fallen on deaf ears at the foreign office and they just disregarded my request they said that it wasn't part of three job the british prime minister says the u.k. is on top of things and doing everything it can we already see it with the i'm wrong show for it is the highest level my marginal friend the foreign secretary is urgently seeking a call with the foreign minister abdullah been doing his visit to the u.a.e. on november the twelfth he raised the issue with both crown prince mohammed bin ziad and the foreign minister incidentally also in the emirates last week a u.k. trade minister with fifteen british companies promoting economic ties between the two countries u.a.e. is the fifth largest trading partner for the u.k. outside europe coming after us a japan china and hong kong and bilateral trade is now growing in double digits in

october the u.a.e. ambassador to the u.k. said there is hope of bilateral trade reaching twenty five billion pounds by twenty twenty it is currently at over seventeen billion so could the price tag of this long term cooperation and being worth more than ruffling feathers over the fate of one citizen problem for trees are going to talking at the moment of the bridges or taking back control reasserting so foreign to you and that puts them in a dilemma they don't want to be seen to be weak on an issue like this abroad but on the other hand they also need to be building economic bridges. the e.u. maybe again the government of the emirates is thinking the british can't possibly push this too far because they're on a weekly economic hit the british could of course withdraw the military support and by extension their supply of military equipment and at the same time they could face the consequences of. economic boycott of. the british

museum has agreed to give back a collection of bronze is to nigeria but only on loan ali bacher now looks at how museums are a threat of losing collections as the number of disputed treasures keeps on growing . it may be called the british museum but many of the precious artifacts inside here are from far far away a quiet some might even say looted during the times that the british empire ruled far and wide and now an increasing number of persons former colonies all outright victims of theft all saying that they want their precious treasures to be returned home now in response to the british museum has all the courteously said that it's willing to lend out some items rather than return them the latest loan will be to nigeria a collection of bronze statues the bin mean bronzes as the known were originally taken from africa by british troops in eight hundred ninety seven and all the

nations are submitting their requests to you have to take it keeping him two hundred fifty years yes it was so months then we can hope that was the governor of easter island begging the british museum for its precious statue earlier this week and the list of disputed museum treasures keeps on growing. so should the spoils of the empire be returned i want to know what those resisting the museum those feasting their eyes on the foreign artifacts have to say about it

there's a lot of dispute actually over some of the foreign artifacts the british museum got in the times of empire should they just return everything. well that would be nice even if there were what a great question of the old who just may be talking about to speak it's been very very scrupulous. so you would but i still think you should go for the little stuff you've been lost because of the look of your stuff from other countries have to shoot so should we we we feel like we want it but we don't strip. shriek of that conference is that a bit rich as well say will lend you back the things that we stole from you possibly. see your lot in the in from the different could use and stuff is just to all who would never get it to those who couldn't see it would we do it i mean yes you have a few of the stolen things in the order you think yes you should go back to another otherwise you think we should keep it to remind ourselves of our history and why this stuff is here in the first base their risk of the museum being empty if if

everyone gets everything back. well off the lot it would be better but as for the british museum itself well it told us that it welcomes debate and transparency regarding the history of its collections but that in many cases allowing them to stay in the museum gives them wider public access we are very much in favor of more transparency around the provenance of objects and museum collections we still believe however the best is a very strong public benefits museums like the british museum housing objects from across the world under one roof while the issue of foreign artifacts has been made all the more thought any thanks to a more laissez faire attitude across the channel the french president emanuel macron appears to be more willing to send france's colonial acquisitions back to their rightful owners and that's putting museum directors here at risk of losing large swathes of their collections in

a bit of an awkward position. in a legal first for the united states a judge in detroit has declared america's law banning the practice of circumcision known as female genital mutilation or to be unconstitutional the judge said the power to outlaw f g m was down to individual states or not congress as he dismissed some of the charges against eight people including two doctors for conducting the procedure on under-age girls. female genital mutilation is a widely banned a practice found in africa asia and the middle east and it can have a serious health consequences in some cases even death an estimated two hundred million women around the world are thought to have undergone the procedure which the u.n. and the world health organization consider a violation of human rights and we put the whole issue up for debate with anthropologist and of women's rights activists forum by amadu and media commentator gina luton. it is absolutely misleading to suggest that female circumcision i'm

talking about all three forms is intended to actually does suppress female sexuality well i'm a doctor of human development and i can tell you that this flies in the face of everything that i've ever studied regarding women's rights so i want to make it clear that i am not pro mutilation i would never support the mutilation there are a set of practices that supporters like myself refer to as female circumcision and there are many different forms usually what happens with this terminology female genital mutilation or f.p.m. is that the most extreme form which is very actually quite rare is what gets gets conflated with all the other practices my counterpart here is is comparing apples and oranges she's talking about the difference between women who make a conscious decision as an adult to have to undergo some sort of cosmetic or other sort of procedure no one has

a problem with that here and that's not what our conversation is about we are talking about seven year old children almost babies having these decisions to make them essentially a sexual and a risk their lives doing it i reject the term i reject the term mutilation as sexist and racist you do not refer to boys as mutilated so you don't refer to our bodies as mutilated so how far do we let those values impose themselves up on american values which are based on constitutional and individual freedoms and certainly genitally mutilating a child without their ability to even consent as an adult is not an american value most of the women from my knowledge from my twenty five years of research as well as from my experience do not. consider themselves as mutilated and don't experience themselves as mutilated. tourists in the catalan capital barcelona are no longer

safe that's the message on leaflets being handed out by local police amid a spike in the city's crime rate over the last year some three thousand leaflets have been given to tourists and seven languages including english french and italian the leaflets include tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of crime currently there are some sixteen thousand five hundred officers in the area but the force says it needs around two thousand more police personnel and the supporters of took to the streets back in october protesting against the catalan interior minister. thank you and.

officials claim the crime rate has skyrocketed nineteen percent compared with last year it's a level barcelona hasn't seen since the mid eighty's however tourists on local residents say the situation is not that bad. i came this was one factor that was new when one man had there been five not sixty one leg that is why i'm getting such a big bag insert to put in all my comfort sideband travel to other parts of the world and it feels pretty sexy outside all the place in the world you never going to get rid of one hundred percent crime i just tell people to. be careful you know and keep their bibles in their pockets as if you know i haven't come across anything that should make me feed uncomfortable and save them a sandal i feel super secure obviously i take care of my personal belongings but it's a quad cities safe you can walk at night i don't feel like something bad will happen

to me are still coming up on the way on the program here when i. will defend the un migration pocked on projects quote nationalism in its purest form shut some light on but i don't like. the british government or the british establishment and mrs bush and mrs mrs may have looks themselves up into his studio about so-called new deal just so he's incredibly mislead as i just said in so doing a lot of the european union to impose completely draco union is on the u.k.

which we've lost anyway. so it seems wrong but i. just don't. get to shape out these days coming out of. and in game trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. nearly twenty past the hour here in moscow and german chancellor angela merkel has defended a controversial u.n. agreement on migration accusing its opponents of nationalism this pact which was supposed to help facilitate legal migration and better manage the movement of

people has been rejected by a number of nations including austria and the united states some have linked merkel's remarks to every sin statement by the american president who said that he considers himself to be a nationalist a correspondent peter oliver has more on the story in public the relationship between the white house and europe's two leading powers is perfect of course sometimes all quids occasionally very awkward. i think. ok. bullets as anger merkel begins her epilogue of german chancellor she's made what's being seen as a job not only of her populist opponents at home but also at the us president and to you don't mind there are people who say they can solve everything themselves and don't have to think about anyone else and that's nationalism in its purest form this is not patriots he is that echoes a similar sentiment from president mccrone but your patriotism is the exact

opposite of nationalism nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism by pursuing our own interests first with no regard to other us we raise the very thing that a nation holds most precious and that of course the polar opposite of the trump mantra america third america for america first thought about america first the cause for concern seems to revolve around france and germany having their own relationship with russia and china germany even going as far as to negotiate their own energy deals how dare they said the. president spoke to the united nations germany will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change course we are committed to maintaining our independence from the encroachment of expansion is foreign powers.

and the united states is increasingly unhappy with france's backing of an e.u. army those feelings coach both ways the recent poll of germans found that they feel the united states is a bigger risk to world security than terrorism while eight out of ten french people polled didn't pull any punches at all referring to the u.s. commander in chief as a dangerous incompetent racist quite it's understandable that the u.s. wouldn't be entirely thrilled that you are trying to stand up for its own interests but is a little push back from france and germany to the united states ultimately a bad thing peter all of a berlin we spoke to a former c.d.u. party defense spokesman about certain european leaders and their recently voiced differences with washington. germany. president. so the german chancellor. and. then the beginning of the presidency

of plum she is linked to the obama. mccain this is him was as are your neighbors we have. more those two. creator of earth between president tom. that you will be inconclusive who are linked to the united states not only by need all but by a lot of fun true which it has been established some hundreds of years ago. london is currently hosting the twenty eighteen world chess championship with grandmasters fabiano caruana and magnus carlsen battling it out their cherished title we spoke to sort of yak in a russian grandmaster who gave us his predictions. i think magnus carlsen has more chances in the speeches he is a stronger and faster player he plays with where is fed be on a kero on

a prefers to think and contemplate for longer from this point of view concent is the top pick now that there is still four games to go before the end of the championship there currently time everything is possible one mistake can ruin the game council has to be careful if we end up with a time it will be in his favor because he will have more chances in the tie break many people think that chess player is a nerd's that i mocked at school but i can prove that they are fun people with a lot of hobbies. we have seen how a robot was playing against a person and it was even speaking and joking it was funny and interesting however it was more like a show than a real game. thanks for sharing your time with us here at r.t. international and joining us for this i was program for a friday though plenty more stories for you in about twenty five minutes hope you can join us.

future historians may look back at donald trump's handling of the murder of jamal khashoggi as a case study of the lack of leadership and outright folly his reasons for giving the saudis or rather the crown prince a free pass simply don't make sense why because it's all about iraq. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in this population a prophet. had any interrogations out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of the interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable make them want to get out. and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said they're forward or a sad statement that i will be all about that the next day there's

a culture of odd accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all the crime. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a 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 is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you know forward to miss the one and only.

sophie shevardnadze the breck said dale is in turmoil get again as a storm over the draft agreement approved by their estimates cabinet. is to draft what the wanted and is it really better than a no deal well i ask member of the european. the tentative deal to move breaks along with european leaders has to raise a maze position and split the party with members of the road council to trying to

pull the rug from under the feast will to resume manage to push the deal through could the political will win sweep the british pm away but what happens if the u.k. ends up with a new deal breaks it. well and doubtless number of the european parliament welcome to the show great to have you with us so the draft for exit deal that is currently all going to be a thank you on the table it seems to offer too few new ties to please remain nurse and non else independence for hero to please the leavers is it a work in compromise or does only serve to annoy everybody. or amazing that the british government have managed to produce something that satisfies absolutely nobody all the remain is don't like it and most of the leaves don't like it including me for whatever that is worth. and the key point about it is that forget about a compromise or no compromise it's not going to get through the house of commons.

on today's arithmetic anyway so is the european union interested in a speedy by the end of this week resolution to the question of the deal i do think make can push for it and brussels threatening a no deal scenario in case the deal doesn't pass to vote. well well as i understand it mrs may is in the british prime minister mrs may is in brussels going to see mr you. explaining to him he's a very intelligent man by the way he gets a bad press explaining to him that the deal as it's presently constituted will not get through the british house of commons and therefore can he please make some sort of adjustments to enable him to do say sorry to enable her to do so. now having said all that that's the context now the european union has got a terrible terrible record of being completely rejected completely intransigent and

completely unhelpful to member states where the party members say but all member states which have got problems we're seeing that with its lead now and i suspect that yet again this is way is going to come away with absolutely nothing. and then there will be a no deal no i rather favor no deal which isn't a no deal it's a deal on the world trade organization rules because you can ask me about that a little bit later on what happens if it doesn't go through that first time around well it be the fall off to resume well. you know you asked me was going to have the british house of commons so basically this is just a prediction but if he doesn't go through the first time round they can bring it up a second time and it might have a shot a getting through a second time but there would have to be someone.
