one on one east investigates. on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. you're watching the news hour live from headquarters and. coming up in the next sixty minutes donald trump challenges the credibility of the woman accusing his supreme court nominee of sexual assaults. at least one hundred thirty one now confirmed dead after a ferry sank in tanzania more though are still missing. and i have always said no deal is better than a. bruised from a testy e.u. summit the u.k. prime minister to resign may renews her threat to walk away from negotiations and.

colombia's coffee region where farmers are abandoning fields like the one behind me due to the very low international price of the bean. with all the day's news as a new school for all of the fish becomes the first man in the forty six year history of the european p.g.a. tour to call it a fifteen oh. hello for days the u.s. president donald trump held a civil tone about the sexual assault allegations that have engulfed the man he wants to put in america's most powerful courts and now he's openly challenging judge brett kavanaugh as accuser christine ford tweeting that if the alleged attack was so terrible she would have reported it to police dr ford says cavanagh assaulted her at a party in one nine hundred eighty two denies it dr ford's lawyers are negotiating

the terms for her possible testimony next week and kavanagh's supreme court confirmation hangs in the balance. well kavanagh's friends and colleagues held a news conference to support him some of the women attending spoke of knowing the nominee since high school women from every phase of judge kavanaugh is life those who know him best have stepped forward to say that the allegation being leveled against him is false and we are proud to stand with brant. thanks. live to our white house correspondent kelly halakhah joining us from washington d.c. what are you hearing about whether ford will be testifying or not and when yeah a lot of negotiations going on at this hour with regard to that the republican controlled senate judiciary committee making an offer to christine block the forward the one alleging that brett kavanaugh sexually assaulted her some thirty

six years ago when they were both teenagers apparently the offer being made for her to testify publicly on wednesday and that she would go first then it would be followed by the judge brett kavanaugh and they would be questioned by independent lawyers but apparently her attorneys pushing back on that suggestion saying that she should have the chance to go second so that she has the final word and that is where there is some debate of course we were expecting a hearing on monday that has now been delayed as these negotiations continue and of course delaying is a very bad thing in the eyes of republicans who are trying to push through this nomination as quickly as possible it needs to get out of the senate judiciary committee voted by those members before it can go to the full senate to be voted on because there are congressional elections coming up if republicans don't get this through before november and democrats take control of congress this could derail the nomination altogether and that's why we see this intensity going on right now

for trump we've seen that he's held somewhat of a civil tone up until now but just a few hours ago he's come out quite strongly on twitter. that's right not only in twitter but we're expecting he could potentially be speaking public is publicly as he continues to campaign around the country in advance of those november congressional elections but you're right up until this point on friday he had been quite restrained we're hearing because he did not want to alienate some of his female supporters that helped him win the white house in twenty sixteen but that seemed to change with a twitter storm on friday tweet storm that is the president coming out in a very confrontational tone defending his nominee saying he has an impeccable record reputation he's a victim of character assassination by radical left wing politicians trying to delay and destroy as well he is also calling into question the allegations made by christie and blazin ford initially saying that he wanted to hear what she had to

say earlier in the week now questioning the claim saying it was really is bad as she says it was why didn't she call local law enforcement so it appears the president not as fearful now about whether or not he might be alienating any supporters in fact not only is he calling into question the claims but it seems the republican tactic now is to question this process and whether or not it is fair to the supreme court nominee all right security think you for the for the white house let's stay in washington and speak to jay follow scheme and he's the director of the federal courts program at the center for american progress that's a public policy research organization things very much for your time on al-jazeera so just to go on what our reporter kimberly was saying she is now hearing the ford might be testifying on wednesday and she would testify first and then cavanaugh would if that were to happen what is your take on that scenario. well dr bossy ford has consistently asked to be treated respectfully through this

process and to have a full investigation of what took place before she comes to the senate it is really unfortunate that the senate republican members don't want to treat her with the respect that she deserves as a survivor and also apparently in order to get the entire truth she's asked that there be other witnesses that are called in the seem to be denying that request as well does that seem to you that she is apparently moved off from that initial request that the f.b.i. conduct an investigation before her testimony and if so why last night last night in her lawyers response and request they did request that that still be . a precondition of the hearing but they didn't say that it was a mandatory precondition of the hearing and when republicans responded this afternoon they did not include that as a part of the offer for wednesday afternoon so it it appears that that will not be

a part of whatever happens potentially depending upon what it is that she and her attorneys agree to but that doesn't make it any less wrong the fact that the senate judiciary committee the committee members seem to be rushing this process through without really looking into what happened and calling all of the potential witnesses that could illuminate the american public about what took place. and we're seeing obviously the democrats are trying to stall kavanagh's nomination at the same time the republicans what they're doing is they're trying to push this through let's look at the big picture here for a moment and if cavanagh is confirmed eventually tell us what you think that would mean for the supreme court and its positions going forward in some of that sessions that impact women specifically. i think it calls into question all of the all of the decisions that would come out of the supreme court especially those that were five four where brett kavanaugh joined with the majority one would have to ask whether or not those are still entirely credible and. if cavanagh were confirmed he

would still be potentially open to investigation for impeachment investigation into these sexual misconduct these sexual assault claims from the local district attorney's office in maryland so that would call into question his place on the court all right jake for the skinny we'll leave it there we thank you for joining us from washington d.c. . tanzania's president has ordered the arrest of a ferry operator involved in the latest disaster in lake victoria john mica fully declared four days of mourning for the hundred thirty one passengers who drowned two hundred fifty others are missing after the crowded boat capsized just a few meters from the shore welcome why is monitoring developments from the ugandan side of the lake. so we're it gathers support in uganda's capital kampala that's on the ugandan side of the lake but it's over on the thames in the inside where the

boat capsized now more than twenty four hours ago and now that it's dark of course it's almost impossible to see anything in the water and that means the rescue efforts are going to be greatly impaired a few dozen people were rescued alive but for many hours the rescue was only the sounding those who drowned these kind of accidents on one common lake victoria was more than a million people that live around the shores of this lake many of them depend on water transport for that survival whether that fisherman which is moving around for trade and business in the case of the boat that capsized on the stand it was carrying people between two islands people who'd been to market from one island are returning home to another a lot of poverty around here so course people are trying to transport them selves cheaply people owning boats trying to make a living too and that's why often boats can be filled up well beyond their capacity to boat in question we understand had expressed about one hundred people who may have had two or three hundred people on board and a small movement which is one thing going wrong concerns can turn that boat over

because this is also an area where many people don't know how to swim so we want people in the water rescues don't get to them quickly tirelessly rates can be very high israeli forces have killed the palestinian protesters hundreds gathered again along the israeli gaza border fence the demonstrations have been going on for more than five months during which at least one hundred eighty four palestinians have been killed by israeli forces many are demanding their right to return to their homes and land their families were expelled from seventy years ago harry fossett was at the protests. so we're here just a short distance away from the israeli border and the man you can see at the center of that scrum there is yassin was the hamas leader in gaza the second most senior hamas official in the whole of the organization and that shows you a very interesting thing that there is a real improvement or of hamas which controls the gaza strip on this protest it is the by far the most sizable such process we've seen in several weeks of course in

approaching six months of these friday protests here at the gaza border in recent weeks that they have dwindled to some extent this is large and that shows you the kind of political pressure that hamas now finds itself under because on two fronts on one it's been engaging in at least in direct negotiations with israel over a long term cease fire many people here feel that process is either collapsing or is on the very verge of collapse certainly there's been nothing to show for it so far the other front is with the rival palestinian faction in the occupied west bank which controls the palestinian authority all sorts of rumors going around gaza that after an october the first deadline which has been imposed by the p.a. on hamas for some progress on reconciliation some sort of concessions from hamas about some kind of unified government with the p.a. that the p.a. is prepared to impose new financial pressures on the people of gaza so hamas is under pressure that could potentially explain why this protest is bigger than usual

and there are still thousands of people prepared to come here despite the risks we spoke to one young man who'd lost one leg in an earlier protest and then in another protest was shot in the other leg the remaining leg and he's back here again today and there are hundreds of others if not thousands prepared to do the same thing palestinian leader mahmoud abbas has rejected the trumpet ministrations claims that the palestinian authority is not interested in peace talks with israel abbas made the remarks while meeting with the french president in my new unmarked car in the hope of finding european mediators in the conflict abbas made the stop. on his way to the united nations general assembly which is meeting in new york next week the trumpet ministration had earlier ordered the closure of the palestinian embassy in washington accusing the p.l.o. of boycotting peace efforts plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including a racing their identity an investigation finds china is separating muslim children from their families and forcing them into state run orphanages and we meet some of

nigeria's money wives young girls sold into slavery to repay their parents. but first the british prime minister to resign may is accusing the european union of creating a deadlock in divorce negotiations after returning to london from a testy summit with british newspapers the clearing that she's been humiliated may declare that she's prepared to walk away from negotiations if her country isn't treated with more respect and response you council president donald tusk said he's still convinced a deal can be done the barker reports from westminster reeling from her bruising summit theresa may delivered a defiant ultimatum to europe the e.u. should be clear i will not overturn the result of the referendum nor will i

break up my country we need serious engagement on resolving the two big problems in the negotiations and we stand ready. she hoped for warm words from her counterparts at thursday's eve summit in salzburg she was instead met with an unequivocal rejection of her latest breaks it plan ever about the share that he ordered why positive elements in the czech proposal death adjusted framework for economic cooperation will not work. not least because in truth undermining the single market the putdowns continued on tusks instagram account a piece of cake wrote task sorry no cherries a jibe at britain's perceived cherry picking of bricks of proposals that suit the u.k. but no one else the french president emanuel mccrum said he would never accept a deal which damages the e.u.'s integrity and said those promoting the idea that

breaks it will be positive for britain are liars to resume a responded saying it was time for the e.u. to show britain some respect throughout this process i have treated the e.u. with nothing but respect the u.k. expects the say a good relationship at the end of this process depends on it teresa mayes breaks it strategy was drawn up at her country retreat checkers in july it opposes a u.k. e.u. free trade area and a common rule book for industrial and agricultural goods to prevent exports and imports from getting stuck at borders. but the e.u. and u.k. can't agree on what will happen here on the border between northern ireland a part of the u.k. the republic of ireland and a you member the case promised there will be no return to a hard border but it's rejected the e.u.

has a backstop plan to keep the region aligned with its trading rules it's something we will never agree to set to resume a it would mean breaking up our country the frosty response to terrorism a proposal has inflamed tension among hardline brecht the tears within her own party who believe the e.u. are pushing for more concessions from the u.k. that if adopted will mean leaving me you will be increasingly more and more pointless they want a clean break from brussels with or without a reason may be but this latest message to europe may help restore some confidence from bric cities who believe she hasn't been tough enough the prime minister says there's currently no counter proposal on the table this is an impasse with no solution in sight needs bark at al-jazeera westminster let's not speak to jonathan port's an oxford he's a senior fellow at the u.k. and a changing europe initiative which works to improve access to research on the relationship between britain and the e.u. thanks very much for speaking to us on al-jazeera so we saw to resume just

a couple of hours ago very defiant some would say was that for her own domestic political consumption to recover a credibility that she may have lost at that e.u. summit in salzburg. i'm yes it was very much for consumption but i think the political credibility in brussels of course than the rest of europe also depends on which is perceived as big. trouble of our own government or and or a party and of course one of the problems is that she isn't in control of the speech was an effort to buy defiant shore up support but i'm not sure that anyone really takes these words that seriously i think the more substantive point that we are speech was that she has just the u.k. will produce a further proposal on the northern ireland border the so-called backstop. before the next summit it all over her value or to deliver any sort of proposal that the

e.u. will take seriously on more than on it is one of the big reasons that leaders gave her such short shrift. sounds for the conference yesterday but are they changing their tone somewhat because even though just twenty four hours ago donald tusk said the checkers plan is dead just a short time ago he said this that he was convinced that the european union and britain could still find a compromise over the ukase exit and he said that the e.u. will treat the checkers plan as a step in the right direction. well then you know we said from the very beginning i don't i mean i think we brits and i were excited about some of this language but really what we said yesterday in a substantive terms was not any different from what the you said the day after their generous proposals were produced that is they are a constructive step forward from the point of view but task said yesterday to the

the proposal i offer you it's that this is well the proposals i'm closer cooperation on security and foreign policy are very constructive but the economic framework is not one of the you is acceptable he said they said that when the proposals were produced they said they get a yesterday in very stark terms and what costs today is again consistent with that so i think trying to read something between the lines there is not care but be productive they are a step forward but the basic economic proposals that checkers have never been. propositioned or if you are new leaders all right jonathan port's we thank you for speaking to us from oxford. an investigation by the associated press news agency has found evidence of a campaign by the chinese government to strip young muslims off their language and culture the un believes about a million muslims in those enjoying region have been rounded up and held in

so-called reeducation camps the chinese government denies this mariana holland has more. when many pick traveled with her husband and young baby to turkey to visit his sick father she lived for three children with family the oldest was eight the youngest just three but that trip appears to have coincided with what the united nations says was a systematic campaign by the chinese government to round up muslim we give them minorities under the pretext of countering terrorism and religious extremism all. made it says chinese authorities weren't just targeting adults her children were apparently taken to the soften it she hasn't heard from them since when her no on the can to become a let me after i got the news i was so upset by one of them to grow up with me. isn't true every time i think of them i think of the things that have happened i

in russian obviously it's brutality it's even worse than being killed what the chinese government's doing is torture. some analysts say china is repeating now widely condemned colonial practices of taking children against the will from their indigenous communities we view the education system as one of the primary threats to their future as a society is a weaker society and to their families their pit describes an overwhelming scene of despair. and i want to tell them i was so sorry all. dispirit being separated from the children she loves despair that the next generation of we get may be stripped of the language and identity they hold so dear miriam hall and. or oil prices have risen in the run up to sunday's opec meeting some investors don't think producers will be able to fully cover the predicted shortfall of

iranian oil that's once new u.s. sanctions take hold well ahead of the opec meeting in algeria the us president donald trump tweeted we protect the countries of the middle east they would not be safe for very long without us and yet they continue to push for higher and higher oil prices we will remember the opec monopoly must get prices down now but opec isn't expected to boost output the price of brant crude oil is close to a four year high is trading at just under eighty dollars a barrel that's still well short of the two thousand and eight peak of one hundred forty seven dollars there is growing pressure on opec to avoid a further rise in prices when a short talkin is an international oil and energy consultant and former researcher at opec he says opec countries will be united in their decision. i think overall the opec countries will keep their cohesion they have done it in the past in spite of differences that the media exaggerate between iran and saudi arabia for example

and i think over all together and as well as an opec members russia who are in unison now i think they would react to this they're not happy and definitely very upset by the tone of president. trump says comments ordering this this meeting really is not to decide the level this miti is the joint ministerial monitoring committee and they are going to look at the status of the market supply demand and the outlook for the next few months and it is the opec meeting before meeting cut the conference in early december that will decide the options are to to expand or those with the option to increase production to replace for the iranian the loss of iranian crude yes or no and whether they're when they do that what country should do that over all each member of opec or should they distribute have

as the meddling russia did during the two thousand and sixteen presidential elections in the united states now what this means is this department within the chinese military can apply for export licenses and the department itself and individuals directly involved in this purchase cannot participate in the u.s. financial system indian police have arrested a catholic bishop who is accused of raping and franco is the bishop of the northern indian city of jalandhar a nun says he assaulted her repeatedly between twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen nuns and activists have been campaigning for his prosecution since june bishop will appear in court on saturday he denies the charges here's what's coming up on the al-jazeera news hour thailand's military rulers loosened their rules on political meetings but aiming is still a step too far also as rates of dementia rise worldwide we look at the emotional and financial hardships of caring for loved ones with alzheimer's coming up in

cease fire agreement has been greeted by rival groups and each side is accusing the other of breaching the ceasefire agreement in fact. the seventh infantry brigade from the city of the huna and its allies from the city of misrata are trying to as they say they want to rid the capital tripoli of unofficial militias that are blackmailing the state institutions and imposing a kind of this especially on banks but on the other hand the tripoli brigades which are backed by the government the internationally recognized government say that they are defending the city against aggression vietnam's president has died aged sixty one the ruling communist party says trained by acquiring had been sick for several months while his role was largely ceremonial he was still seen as a powerful figure her morgan looks back at his life. grand icon's time in office
