5:01 am
chances of doing well in these elections and there's some talk that the chinese may be waiting to see what happens november before offering any sort of concessions thank you very much for now from washington heidi joe castro. meanwhile the future of the highest court in the u.s. hangs in the balance of a sexual assault on occasions which threaten to do well the confirmation process of president trump supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh his accuser says she is prepared to testify publicly to the senate judiciary committee which is due to vote on his appointment next week i white house correspondent kelly holcomb reports. u.s. president donald trump's nominee to the highest court in the country the supreme court is in doubt spite of that the president is standing with brett kavanaugh he is one of the great intellects and one of the finest people that anybody has known cavanagh is at the center of an explosive allegation that threatens to derail his nomination it came this weekend by this woman christine blasi forward who says
5:02 am
cavanagh attempted to sexually assault her in the one nine hundred eighty s. a charge he vehemently denies this is a completely false allegation i have never done anything like what the accuser describes to her or to anyone ford's lawyer says her client has taken a lie detector test and is now prepared to testify before congress this is not a politically motivated action in fact she was quite reluctant to come forward and she was in fact outed after she had made the decision not to come forward for does now a professor in california she says when she was fifteen a drunk seventeen year old cavanaugh pushed her into a bedroom at a party groped or attempted to remove her clothing and held her hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming kavanagh's nomination to the supreme court faces a crucial vote on thursday in a senate committee but a number of lawmakers say that vote should be delayed until the accuser is heard

5:13 am
council over enforcing sanctions against north korea the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley accused russia of carrying out what she was describing as a concerted campaign to cover up violations of sanctions against north korea a charge that last strongly denies why after voting for sanctions eleven different times is russia now backing away from we know the answer it's because russia has been cheating and now they've been caught. despite its repeated support for u.n. sanctions russia is actively working to undermine the enforcement of the security council sanctions on north korea meanwhile on tuesday the leaders of north and south korea in june to meet in pyongyang for their third talks this year al-jazeera has run the bride reports from seoul. south korean president moon j m travels to
5:14 am

5:15 am
first landmark meeting was in april at the panmunjom truce village on the demilitarized zone separating the two koreas they met there again in may when the prospect of talks between north korea and the u.s. seemed to be in jeopardy. it helped pave the way for the historic meeting between him and u.s. president donald trump in singapore the following month. the floor in relations has seen tangible results. reunions of families separated by the korean war have restarted for the first time since twenty fifteen. eighty five year old banks and young was among hundreds of south koreans who made the journey to the mount common gang resort in north korea last month. her dream is that this summit could one day lead to a new era of friendship said about us that if family members could be allowed to go back and forth and visit each other's homes nothing would be better than that.
5:16 am
there have been other notable signs of progress the return by north korea of the remains of u.s. soldiers killed in the war but the ultimate prize as moon has known from the start is for the north to give up its nuclear weapons. this doesn't pressure for the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula several months on there's little sign of that happening north korea waits for some relief from sanctions the united states is still waiting for the north to give up any of its nuclear weapons and neither seems to see a way forward moving the mediator heads north knowing that patience on all sides is wearing thin robert bridal jazeera saw. argentina's former president cristina fernandez de kirchner has been charged of a bribery allegations stemming from a wide ranging corruption inquiry or is accused of accepting tens of millions of dollars in bribes in exchange for public work on tracks

highest unemployment rates in the world. while i love my charges one month old i'm on the street every day so i get my need to freedom and by the police are chasing me away how am i supposed to survive. the government recently declared a collar emergency in the capital some harare residents blame the council for his inability to supply clean water in some suburbs it's been like that for more than a decade. union leaders say the government is blaming us for the outbreak instead of fixing the real problem dilapidated water and sanitation facilities i understand that. your motions are being moved to if i in confronting us in the streets we feel that that is not a proper. process to take it all that would should not be encouraged to be to be done but some city council workers believe removing st hilda's is one way to contain the disease right now we are negotiating private property owners for them
5:19 am
to be able to consume some of them for them to. fill in places. or structured some other vending stalls designated selling points near public toilets have been proposed in and around the city this is where the government wants some of the vendors to go it's a market in downtown harare it's still being built but some people say the rentals are too high. a market stall in here can cost a few hundred dollars depending on the size some vendors prefer selling on the street so they don't pay rent. but selling on the street means dodging right police who had been arresting people and confiscating merchandise health workers say the show of force won't stop the spread of cholera if the political will to deal with a crisis once and for all isn't there. now saying needles have been found inside strawberries and all six states of australia that's turned a growing health scare into
