7:06 pm
twenty first century. well the two leaders would you to give a news conference some three hours ago but as you can see we're still waiting for that to begin in the meantime let's speak to worry chalons who is monitoring developments for us from moscow what's behind the delay rory. well it's difficult to say are the moments we were told via the turkish sides several hours ago that the meeting had finished and yet we are still waiting for this press conference now. retired and said going into the meeting with putin the he thinks that a statements that we will make following our meeting in sochi will be a new hope for the region if that's the case then we're still waiting for the hope there is some indication that. they might still be working through the finer details of what they have a lot to talk about of course
7:07 pm
a lot to decide on because this is a matter that has driven a wedge between russia and turkey in recent weeks of course they have differing views on what the syrian war is and how it should be resolved and which side that they want to see victorious in it but over the past couple of years russia turkey and iran have been working together through the start of formats to try and bring the conflict to some sort of resolution and some sort of put political conclusion well in the last couple of weeks we know that russia tiber to and has essentially kind of broken ranks with the other two and voiced his strong opposition to what we thought was an imminent offensive against the rebels in libya well what seems to have done is buy a certain amount of time because two weeks ago we were thinking that this offensive
7:08 pm
was about to start any moment it didn't and we're still waiting so the other one has been saying we need extra. time to be able to separates the the the hardline rebels there from the more moderate ones and russia to some extent has had to go along with this but we don't know yet how long russia is willing to give turkey to carry on that process and when the patience is going to run out that's what we're waiting for i think with this press conference. all right for now thank you very much chalons following that story for us those talks still going on in sochi between the leaders of russia and turkey well now the woman who's accused the u.s. president supremes court nominee of sexual misconduct says she is willing to testify publicly christine blasi ford alleges brett kavanaugh try to assault her when they were in high school and how lawyers says she's prepared to address the
7:09 pm
senate judiciary committee juta vote on his appointment this week but some members of asked for a delay kavanagh has called the accusations completely false go live to our white house correspondent kimberly whole kit and so more instability and uncertainty over callan as nomination what happens now kimberly. well the white house is vigorously defending this nomination and has sent out the statement by brett kavanaugh as you point out saying that he didn't i's these accusations and allegations of sexual misconduct some thirty five years ago now the accuser for her part didn't seem to pose a threat to this nomination late last week because she was anonymous but that changed over the weekend when she became public with her story says she is willing to speak on behalf. of the senate judiciary committee and there are now ten democrats as well as one republican that believe she should have the opportunity to do that so
7:10 pm
the question now becomes whether or not the republican controlled committee will allow that to happen and whether or not if this does proceed through the committee into a broader senate vote whether there are now enough votes for this nomination to be pushing through it's certainly something that has become in doubt given the fact that there are a number of more moderate republicans or more conservative democrats that had been under pressure to support this that now feel perhaps emboldened because of the story to say that they can't support this nomination so here's that there is some question about whether or not this vote will take place on thursday as it is scheduled in the senate judiciary committee and whether if it does go through the committee if it would even make it through the senate what is the significance of these allegations. well the significance is that the conservatives in the united states and this white house very much made a priority getting conservative judges on the supreme court they feel that there's
7:11 pm
a lack of balance in this is that a top priority for the white house but for donald trump supporters so this could go in sort of two directions essentially this could become a rallying cry at the polls in november for conservatives who feel this is a last minute smear job and this could also potentially do rail the nomination all together so this is certainly something that is in question as we say at the moment right now brett kavanaugh is vigorously defending this if he does drop out or withdraw his name as a result of these allegations then it seems very very unlikely that the republicans will be able to keep their intended timeline of trying to rush this through before the november congressional elections that it would certainly rail that process completely thank you very much from the white house can really help get. still ahead for you on this program we're going to bring you all the latest from north carolina westone florence's left wilmington costs off and the brave as a still rising. also australia's strawberry skaf sprites to all six states with
