the death toll from its ferry disaster rises to at least one hundred thirty one. and colombian coffee farmers leave their crops brought as prices hit a twelve year low. in doha with all the day's sports news has english golfer all over fish becomes the first man in the forty six year history of the european p.g.a. tour to call it a fifty nine all of that and more later this news hour. come to the program our top story u.s. president donald trump has caused doubts on the woman accusing his supremes court nominee of sexual assault university professor christine blasi ford is in hiding after going public with the accusations against brett kavanaugh which date back to when they were school students in one thousand nine hundred eighty two trump says

that if the attack was as serious as she's saying she would have gone to the police straight away or female friends and colleagues of kavanaugh have held a news conference to voice their support for his nomination some of the seventy five women attending said they'd known him since high school and consider the allegations inconsistent with their experience of him. women from every phase of judge kavanagh's 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 bret. well in another key development u.s. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein has denied a newspaper reporter alleging that he disgusted that he discussed ousting president donald trump the new york times says he suggested secretly recording trump early

last year off the fide f.b.i. director james comey to expose chaos in the white house is also said to have suggested recruiting cabinet members to remove him under the twenty fifth amendment rosenstein who oversees the federal investigation into russia's role in the two thousand and sixteen election has dismissed the report as factually incorrect let's beat our white house correspondent can really help it a great deal to get through kimberly let's start with rosenstein we know that he has had a difficult relationship with president trump what's been the reaction to this report in the new york times. well certainly is an explosive allegation and i can tell you that this is certainly when it comes to the perspective of supporters going to confirm what many have long held as you point out the deputy attorney general is denying this report but still it will certainly stoke the belief among many trump supporters that there is the existence of a deep state that is in fact running the government and elected officials that are

conspiring if you will to go against donald trump's agenda so certainly this report is going to stoke the concerns and fears of many trump supporters that that is in fact the case this is also sort of going to underscore the allegations made in that anonymous op ed from many weeks ago that sensually said that that is what is taking place that many times actions are taken to protect the country that there are those in place concerned about the sort of impulsive nature of donald trump in taking actions including perhaps taking a memo off of his desk to prevent him from signing it so certainly while the white house is not commenting about this the broader takeaway of course is that very tense relationship between the deputy attorney general who is of course overseeing the russian probe whether or not there was collusion between donald trump's presidential campaign and russia during the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election so this is certainly going to deepen those tensions and also there are the

concerns of those about the future of that probe given the fact that this report has been made public whether or not it could stoke the reported concerns and perhaps even musings by the president of potentially firing rod rosenstein right and a busy day over there is usual we've also heard president trump speaking out against the christine blazing food who is of course made those sexual assault allegations against brett kavanaugh president trump supreme court nominee now what is the latest on that because we've had comments from trump against christine blasi forward but also some developments around the senate hearing. right there's a lot moving with that story the latest a deadline taking place right about now just to try and put this in context the question is whether or not we're going to hear the not only the accuser but the nominee brett kavanaugh whether or not he'll have the opportunity to defend himself

in a public hearing when we expect it would take place on monday now the republican controlled committee the senate judiciary committee offering for that hearing to take place on wednesday and the question is whether or not that offer has been accepted for the accuser to testify and also for brett kavanaugh and they would both be questioned by an independent lawyer that deadline for an answer whether those terms of been agreed upon taking place at this hour we're still waiting to hear what the outcome of that will be but in the broader context for our viewers what we need to know is republicans are concerned that this clock continues to tick they're fearful of the congressional elections in november they're trying to push this nomination through the top republican in the u.s. senate mitch mcconnell saying he will be confirmed but with each passing day democrats are hoping to delay this beyond the congressional elections in the hope they can take control of congress and potentially de rail this nomination all right

thank you very much our white house correspondent kimberly health capri also all the latest from joining me now from washington d.c. is vale right she's director of research and special projects at the american psychological association specializing in the effects of violence against women thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us the president has said thank you for having me you're welcome the president has today said that if the alleged attack was as bad as christine blasi forward said that she or her parents would have reported it to the police immediately there's been a great deal of reaction to this from survivors of rape and sexual abuse but help us to understand what it says lie to be sexually assaulted as a young age and why it doesn't get reported. right so it's really important understand that it's an incredibly small percentage of individuals who report their assault to anyone and it's even

a smaller percentage of individuals who are going reported to some sort of formal entity such as law enforcement and the police even when victims do end up coming forward and disclosing it's often many many years after the fact and it's usually to somebody who's a confidant such as a friend or maybe a therapist there's a lot of reasons why women do not report and a lot of it has to do with this myriad of emotional responses that victims experience after an assault including and not limited to emotions such as fear shock and disbelief sadness anger and unfortunately shame and guilt and void we know that brett kavanaugh has denied the allegations that have been made against him categorically an unequivocal he says but. we know that ford has accused kevin are drunkenly pending her to a bed trying to rip off clothes in this was when they were high school how does something like that. what more the long term one of the long term consequences

so there are many long term consequences to being a victim of assault in addition to the emotional response as i just mentioned there are also often physical reactions such as headaches and stomach problems sleep disturbance disordered eating and in the long term a subset of individuals often go on to experience disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder depression substance use and other sort of eating disorder problems . why does it take such a long period of time for something like this to be cause we dealing with. these allegations and. obviously there has to be a process now to go through all of this but what might be going through the mind of christine blasi forward now what would have prompted her to come forward with this . well it's hard for me to say exactly what prompted her to come forward what we

know from the research is that some of the things that do help individuals overcome the barriers to reporting include things like awareness and education so when you've got a situation like what's happening culturally right now around say the me two era that might be something that could help prop somebody to come forward because they're more aware of what's appropriate what is an appropriate and maybe have a better sense of how to respond who to report to the other thing we know from the research is that when individuals become particularly distressed so possibly getting triggered by a memory of the assault or a memory of the perpetrator if they're feeling hyper arousal or experiencing symptoms such as nightmares that's also often something that prompts somebody to come forward even many years later well thank you very much for giving us your perspective on this vale right joining us from washington when i european council president donald says he's convinced the e.u. and the u.k. can still find a compromise over brics it is reacting to

a strongly worded statement by the prime minister to resume a a day off breaks it was heavily criticized at a summit in austria she demanded more spec for the u.k. and accused of failing to provide better options for an amicable deal one of the two choices the european union is offering is the so-called norway model continued membership of the customs union and access to the single market. that would mean abiding by e.u. rules and continued free movement of people which may said would make a mockery of the bricks at referendum vote the second option is a canada style free trade agreement which is favored by many critics of may's plan but because both sides are committed to avoiding a hard border an island may set this option would mean separating northern ireland from the u.k. which she could never agree to the prime minister is standing by her own plan known as the check is plan under which the u.k. would maintain harmonize ation with rules on trading goods but that was rejected on thursday by e.u. leaders who said it will not work and doesn't address the irish border issue so may

said preparations will continue for a no deal breaks in march which is viewed by most economists as potentially disastrous move barker reports. reeling from her bruising each use summit to resume a 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 every mother's share the view that why positive elements in the checkers propose of death adjusted framework for comic corporation will not work. not least because in truth

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. and the republic of ireland and a u. member the u.k.'s promise there will be no return to a hard border but it's rejected the e.u. as a backstop plan to keep the region aligned with its trading rules it is something we will never agree to said to resume a it would mean breaking up our country. the frosty with both had to resume a proposal have been playing tension among hard line directed here within her own party who believe the e.u. are pushing for more concessions from the u.k. that. period will mean leaving me you will be increasingly more and more pointless they want a clean break from brothel 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. al-jazeera westminster. still to come for you on the program i told one palestinian dead and dozens wounded as israeli troops opened fire on protesters in gaza. it stood tall against war and weather but experts warn neglect could be the greatest threat to this archaeological jan in the iraqi city of samarra. and will be here with the latest out of the joshua public in any way while title fight. tanzania's president has ordered the arrest of a ferry operator involved in the latest disaster on lake victoria john magaw fully declared four days of mourning for the hundred thirty one passengers who drowned

when the crowded capsized meters from the shore many others still missing. again inside of a like. late victoria became a grave site on thursday afternoon after a ferry capsized and sank the ferry was overloaded with more than four hundred people on board when the ferry was coming to a stop people moved from one side to the other and the way to tip the ferry over nearby vessels were diverted to assist. the. we're here to rescue people if there's anyone alive with god's help will rescue them that's for those who have died will get them out to for now we're concentrating on the rescue operation as you can see specialists have arrived. just a few meters from the dog in the u. career we district officials don't know the exact number of people missing person dispensing the ticket was drowned in the machine recording the data hasn't been retrieved. from eyewitnesses say there were hundreds of people on board. tanzania's

president john magaw declared four days of mourning. the souls of those have passed on in the hands of god and those who were injured maybe he'll quickly i've decided to have four days for mourning as a nation to remember those who died on. lake victoria lies within tanzania kenya and uganda some of the deadliest accident have occurred in tanzania pattern your boats are sometimes old and dilapidated or overloaded nine hundred ninety six one hundred people died when a passenger and cargo ferry sank in twenty eleven almost two hundred people died when a ferry capsized near zanzibar. waterways are always busy because they're crucial for people's livelihood. there's always activity along the shores of lake victoria any time of day or night people depend on the lake for their survival fishermen for

fishing others for water transport and trade the people on the boat that capsized many of them are on their way home from the market when the boat it over but now it's more than a day since the boat capsized hopes of finding any survivors now very slim malcolm webb al-jazeera port uganda. in gaza the health ministry says one protester has been killed and at least forty injured by israeli fire on the border the demonstrations against the israeli blockade on the gaza strip have been going on for more than five months many are demanding their right to return to the homes and land their families were expelled from seventy years ago and i hosted sent us this update earlier from 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 where the hamas leader in gaza the second most senior hamas official in the whole of the organization a match 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 the 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 with 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 a 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 had 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 fighting between rival armed groups in the southern suburbs of the libyan capital tripoli has left at least eleven people dead most of them civilians and un backed ceasefire was if we don't september fourth but it's failed to end the battles for control of the city medical sources say at least ninety six people have been killed there since the end of august. now the united nations humanitarian coordinator says the world is losing the battle to stop yemen tipping into famine. was briefing the un security council on how the intensifying conflict between who think rebels and the

saudi led coalition is impacting civilians in a word it is bleak we are losing the fight against famine the position has deteriorated in an alarming way in recent weeks we may now be approaching a tipping point beyond which it will be impossible to prevent massive loss of life as a result of widespread famine across the country. well now in syria protesters have been marching in rebel held province calling on the international community to stop president assad from cementing his grip on power they are demanding he be removed from office before and you constitution is drafted there is order reports now from beirut. they chant against bashar assad the syrian president to a survived an eighty year rebellion against his rule the opposition has been all but defeated all they have left is their voices. oh no constitution

no reconstruction until a third leaves power that is their demand it's a message syrians in villages and towns across the rebel controlled province of idlib are standing up to the international community. we are afraid this new constitution would not be any different and it won't be in the favor of the opposition we are concerned because some countries are now moving closer to the regime. per week so there were fears of a major assault against the province today there is a sense of relief following a deal between russia and turkey that will at least for the time being prevent bombing and displacement. russia and iran gave priority to ties with turkey over regaining control of it lib turkey had warned a government offensive in the province would be a breaking point in their alliance but it wasn't just that a bloodbath would hurt russia's efforts to convince the international community to pay for syria's reconstruction and support

a political process that the judum mises assad's government but the united nations says there is still potential for a lot of fighting in civilian populated areas turkey and russia didn't say how they plan to implement a demilitarized zone free of so-called radical rebels but yan egeland's humanitarian task force was given some details it seems turkey backed rebels could play a rule on the ground what i understand is that the so-called war on. heroin is not called off in the country that will be in the future air raids against the listed organizations there will also be fighting between on groups and activists and the so-called terrorists the so-called radicals there is and will be many civilians in these areas. three million syrians live in atlanta half of them already displaced

from cities and towns under state control for their reconciling with a government that has killed so many people is not an option they hope the international community feels the same for now the west has shown resistance to work with us had many fear a political transition away from the syrian leader is no longer a priority for the center for their answers either bankrupt. to iraq now as some of the most significant archaeological discoveries are in the city of samarra north of the capital in aska says it should be protected as a wild heritage site but locals say some of its landmarks are being left to crumble as rob matheson reports from baghdad. for twelve centuries the spiral minaret of the great mosque has survived storms and wars but perhaps its greatest danger is from neglect and. this is the first time we've seen the spiral minaret since two

thousand and three i'm shocked there's been no attempt to restore there are no rubbish baskets no proper benches for visitors if this landmark was in any other country it would be a piece of art. in two thousand and seven they already badly damaged city of samarra was protected as a world heritage site by the us. it was hoped that it would encourage more visitors and business but more than a decade later little has been done and. it's a little different to the permits and any other place in the. history and archaeological site but it doesn't get a proper attention. so motto lies on both sides of the river tigris north of baghdad it marks the site of a powerful islamic capital the ruled over the opposite empire which stretched from tunis here to central asia for a century it's estimated eighty percent of it still lies undiscovered but the spiral marriott has gone through dark times even the nearby park that was built not

long ago is also neglected the authorities should be investing in such a historical landmark in so that archaeological tourism that can florida in summer a city. iraq's in the process of rebuilding its present day cities after decades of violence but for a country which is said to have a wealth of archaeological treasures the people of some model say that iraq should be protecting its history to rob matheson al jazeera. still ahead for you on the news hour rising floodwaters from hurricane florence unleash toxic waste on north carolina threatening drinking water the week that children taken from their parents as china is accused of trying to stamp out a muslim minorities identity and score the cleveland browns get their first win since december two thousand and sixteen we'll see how they celebrated a star they quarterback.

oh you know welcome back to your national weather forecast well here across europe we are expecting to see some fairly big changes over the next few days first of all you can see here on the satellite image we have a front as well as unnerve low pressure that is moving through the north sea as well as another one coming in off the atlantic so we have back to back storms we're going to be dealing with right here so that means very windy conditions coming across the u.k. and ireland as well so saturday not looking as bad but what we're going to be seeing is a big drop in temperature here across central europe that is that cold front moving through and temperatures are going to drop anywhere between ten and twelve degrees celsius as your high because we had about thirty degrees here on friday in berlin so a big change there and then as we go towards sunday notice that winds and rains pushing too much of the british isles that is going to be

a big problem there because we have already see winds well over one hundred forty kilometers per hour with our last storm that push through that region so if they're already power lines down we could expect even more across the area here across another part of africa we are looking at some rain here across tunisia now that has been a problem we haven't had to see much rain in order to cause flash flooding and we are seeing a little bit more here on saturday as we go towards sunday things get a little bit better there but we are picking up some clouds here across parts of algeria for algiers though along the coast now going to bed with temperatures thirty. counts of the cost this week tariffs on thousands of products the biggest trading johnson on the planet escalate the trade war but was performing currency in asia india's rupee plus what ice cream sales of melting away in couple. counting the cost. it was just ten years old when

a devastating earthquake struck mexico city in one thousand nine hundred five the quake damaged her family's apartment and the government moved them to distant shack around seventy families who lost their homes in that earthquake still live in this camp say. the government raised our hopes and then abandoned. politicians have promised that they won't allow a repeat of what happened after the earthquake in one thousand and five but the cost and complexity of housing hundreds of people living in camps is a major task and one that many people here think the government will fail.

welcome back a quick look at the top stories now u.s. president donald trump has caused doubt on allegations that his supremes court nominee brett kavanaugh sexually assaulted fellow people christine blasi forward in one thousand nine hundred to. the u.k. prime minister to resign mayors demanding proposals and respect from leaders after they rejected her brakes a plan on thursday. and tanzania has declared four days of mourning for the hundred thirty one people confirmed dead after a crowded ferry overloaded capsized in lake victoria metres from the shore many more are still missing. well attitudes to kavanagh supreme court nomination and the accusations that have been made against him are dividing along political lines there is strong support for him at the largest annual gathering of conservative christian evangelicals being held in washington d.c. the values voters summit is a crucial constituency for donald trump and for the republican party as the

november congressional elections approach she had her chance he explains. the values voters summit is organized by the family research council a christian evangelical group that says its goal is to defend family values our religious liberties and printers the group is best known for its attacks on muslims and the gay community the southern poverty law center which monitors right wing groups in the us calls it a hate group by the way it represents an integral part of donald trump's space we are now officially in session white christian evangelicals monger put aside the script of donald trump's gold lemus because he pledged a moment eight justices to the supreme court of the united states who would rule in favor of christian fundamentalist belief eighty percent vertical in the election and loyalty to trump remains high but there is a feeling among. christian evangelical leaders but republican members of congress aren't doing enough to protect supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh from attack

he's accused of drunkenly sexually assaulting a young girl when he was seventeen at a party in the early eighty's i thought he might inadvertently kill me christine blasi forward said cavanagh denies the allegation and here are the values voters summit support for calvin or remain solid if you walked in anywhere and said i have i want to report of a sexual assault yes ma'am. when did this happen thirty six years ago excuse me. thirty six years ago yes q do you have any eyewitnesses what there are two witnesses but they both deny it happened. are you concerned about the allegations of sexual assault. not that much so if you didn't get confirmed i don't know if i'd even come out and vote anymore because the republicans have to stand up for something and that's what the republican leadership fears they're already nervous about lou turnout if the trump base believes the president's claims that the republicans will sweep the upcoming midterm elections boid by his brilliant

performance the polls suggest otherwise and now if they lose the favor of reliable voters like these evangelicals it will be a disaster which is why they're pushing for a swift confirmation vote in the very near future. judge kavanagh will be on the united states supreme court. but the risk for republicans is that if the government is confirmed without seeming to have a fair hearing or investigation into the allegations it will in rage and independents and women voters to turn out in force in the against them. zero washington. a week after hurricane florence hit the carolinas flooding is expected to western and concerns of growing about health dangers our energy company says coal ash may be flowing into the cape fear river off to a down was breached at a plant in north carolina and the floodwaters have also led to another nasty type of pollution as john hendren now explains. the floodwaters of hurricane florence

are unleashing a toxic slurry of hard way just north carolina's swollen river basins are home to thousands of hog and poultry farms in four thousand lagoons filled with hauled waste the state's department of environmental quality says at least one hundred ten of them are leaking into floodwaters or are likely to start leaking soon yes there are some problems today but the concern is what is happening or what's going to happen over the next few days isn't all that heavy rain floods that way downstream two years ago the waters that followed hurricane matthew flooded fourteen lagoon but none breached as the floodwaters of florence continue to rise environmental officials say this time the worst is yet to come we did see a couple facilities today that were already in serious trouble they were surrounded by water there were surrounded by water there are spray fields or completely

covered up the situation is not good but it's not good today but it's likely to get much worse throughout the rest of the week as the waters start to get to their or their flood levels. through carolina has nine point seven million pigs they produce ten billion gallons of manure each year president trump is. federal aid for the recovery but once the ground water becomes polluted that job becomes much more difficult and if ingested the excess nitrates in hog waste can cause blue baby syndrome a potentially fatal condition in which your child's blood cells are deprived of oxygen the storm has already proved fatal to fifty five hundred pigs in three point four million chickens and turkeys. another environmental hazard coal ash which contains toxic substances like mercury and arsenic that can pollute waterways drinking water in the air north carolina's duke energy company reported that enough coal ash has spilled near the city of wilmington to fill in a limbic sized swimming pool the state's environmental managers say north

carolina's pollution problem is likely to grow worse as the floodwaters continue to rise john hendren zero. now it's global alzheimer's disease awareness day and as people live longer and more developing the disease and the lazy is caring for alzheimer's patients is an emotional and financial challenge for many families and health workers in the u.s. warning they won't be able to cope if the number of patients continues to rise reports. the martha de caring for her ninety one year old mother is truly a labor of love she wants my attention twenty four seventh's is like a three year old florencia garcia was diagnosed with alzheimer's disease twelve years ago martha quit her job to take care of her mother i didn't know. where to start. i didn't know what was going to happen i didn't what to do there was

awareness. you have. to increase awareness advocates of produced a tele novellas style video series about a family coping with the disease but society as a whole is not ready for the surge in alzheimer's completely unprepared we knew it was coming we've known it was coming for thirty years that we're unprepared on all levels we don't have the investment in research we have a totally unprepared health care workforce martha diaz has advice for caregivers don't do it alone attend a support group we talk we are stressed out we cry we listen to each other we help each other caring for florencia defines martha's life and that's fine with her i have no regrets no requests that barry don't have or. i
