where al-jazeera port uganda u.s. president donald trump has broken his silence about the sexual assault allegations against a man he wants to put in the supreme court by questioning the woman who made them his challenge as judge brett kavanaugh his accuser christine basi forward in a tweet saying that if she is the alleged attack was so terrible she would have reported it to police forces cabin assaulted her at a party in one thousand nine hundred two cavanagh denies it for the oil as a negotiating the terms for her possible questioning next week and cavanaugh supreme court confirmation hangs in the balance meanwhile covenants friends and colleagues have held a news conference to support him some of the women who attended spoke of knowing the nominee since high school 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 brett. their speech on white house correspondent kimberly hockett in washington d.c. for his committee let's start with the president's comments after days of measured comments from trump he now is unrestrained why is that. yeah it's really striking because earlier in the week we heard the president was holding back for fear of alienating alienating particularly female supporters and voters that helped him win the white house in two thousand and sixteen but all the gloves seemed to come off ali on friday the president hitting twitter at the tweet storm saying among other things defending the reputation of his supreme court nominee portraying him as a victim of character assassination and saying essentially that it is left wing radical politicians who are trying to destroy and delay the nomination and as you point out questioning the integrity of the accuser christine bossie ford so this is

certainly notable because the president for a long time seemed to be holding back but now we see him speaking very publicly about this on social media and we're of course watching his public comments at a rally that is set to take place whether he will continue to expound on those comments and where do things stand kimberly as far as brett kavanaugh his confirmation. right so there is a deadline a couple of hours ago where the chair of the committee the senate judiciary committee that has to vote in this nomination before it goes to the broader senate for the terms whether or not christine was before did her attorneys would agree to the terms of a public hearing tentatively scheduled now for wednesday that deadline came and went and now we are hearing from the chair that if they do not agree to those terms the committee could go ahead and vote again why is this so important while republicans trying to push this nomination through before congressional elections they fear if democrats win control of congress the nomination could be due railed

altogether thank you for that can really help kids live for us in washington d.c. well for more on this let's speak to melanie sloan she's a partner of some a strategies which is a public affairs firm specializing in crisis management and she was formerly a minority counsel for the house judiciary committee she is by skype from washington thank you very much for being with us melanie you know for people outside of the u.s. this is all quite puzzling the way this is happening to what extent do the respective republican and democratic party need to particularly when you consider that the midterm elections just weeks away trump everything else when it comes to the controversies surrounding brett kavanaugh is confirmation are these sexual harassment charges on a geisha it's simply further politicising and already crucial confirmation. well in the wake of this mini two year that we've been having how the committee treats christine blasi for it is particularly important in this what is being

viewed as another your fear of the woman election which is to say that the female electorate is incredibly important and they already don't like president trump and there is a big concern how the senate gerri can be treats for board the republicans on the committee it is entirely male entirely male panel and there is a lot of concern that they can only go wrong here in how they treat her already with president trump's tweet today alienated a very important vote for him senator susan collins of maine who angrily retorted to the president's twee and said that she didn't appreciate the way ford was being treated when when president said that she should've said something years ago so there is already be this issue and now there's also the question of how senator lisa murkowski got alaska another republican will vote right and if lisa murkowski and susan collins vote against against not a cabinet he's done right we know that there's a requirement for christian basie for to provide evidence and agree by

a deadline to specify an oath but would you say things have changed culturally at all on capitol hill when it comes to the treatment of women and the handling of such sensitive cases when the burden of proof is clearly on the woman to offer up evidence. yes in fact this is a very reminiscent of the need to need a hill how was that we had back in one thousand nine hundred one in which male panel grilled him you know and wanted her to prove that clarence thomas justice clarence thomas had harassed her and at one point they were even talking today. this week about having a accuser christine lazy for it and direct happened i the same table at the same time and that's clearly very telling if nothing else. if cavanagh is found not to be guilty at the end of this process how do you think that's going to affect the rest of his career on the bench. well if there is he won't be found guilty or not

guilty it is really a question of what senators will believe that he said but if the democrats do retake the senate if the republicans can push him through and the democrats retake the senate democrats are promising a thorough investigation into brett kavanaugh after that so he will be somewhat tarnished and he will have face possible investigations even what he is a sitting supreme court justice and that is something we have not seen before all right very interesting to see how this all unfolds thank you very much for speaking to us melanie sloan from some a strategies to winning us there from washington. now the u.s. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein has denied a newspaper report alleging that he discussed ousting present donald trump he called it factually incorrect the new york times says rosenstein suggested secretly recording trump last year at times with his firing of f.b.i. director james comey the goal according to the report was to expose the chaos in the white house walls and stain is also said to have discussed recruiting cabinet

members to help in the twenty fifth amendment and removed from office rosenstein oversees a federal investigation into russia's role in the twenty sixteen election john hendren has more on this from washington. it was a blockbuster report the new york times is reporting that the deputy attorney general of the united states proposed secretly recording president donald trump in the white house that report also says that he had considered recruiting cabinet members to invoke the twenty fifth amendment to the us constitution that is the amendment that allows a majority of the cabinet to remove the president as being unfit for office rosenstein broad rosenstein the deputy attorney general being reported on there is called the new york times story inaccurate and factually incorrect he said he will not comment further but he said let me be clear about this based on my personal dealings with the president there is no basis to involve the twenty fifth amendment the department of justice issued

a statement confirming that he did in fact suggest taping the president in the white house but said that he did that sarcastically the new york times says it has confirmed that other people who were involved in those discussions confirmed that it was a serious suggestion and it said that rosenstein also suggested that other people within the f.b.i. tape the president this happened at a time in the spring of two thousand and seventeen when rosenstein was new on the job and was reportedly upset that the president had used a memo he had written criticizing f.b.i. director james comey and his handling of the hillary clinton e-mail situation rosensweig. and was reportedly surprised that the president then use that as an excuse to fire komi many people have called especially republicans have called for the firing of rosenstein on the basis of this including former arkansas governor mike huckabee and a group called americans for limited government trump has been highly critical of rosenstein and sessions jeff sessions the returning general the united states who

recused himself and that put rosenstein in charge of the robert mueller investigation into the trump administration and its ties to russia and one final thing donald trump jr has now suggested on twitter we have a likely winner in the search for anonymous that is the anonymous member of the trump administration who wrote in the new york times that a number of people in the administration are working to curb the president's more extreme impulses that would be another excuse for president donald trump to fire rosenstein if he thought that was true he could fire him on that basis for insubordination. in other world news the health ministry in gaza says one protester has been killed in at least fourteen joined by israeli fire along the gaza border fence on friday demonstrations against these really blockade of gaza have been going on for more than five months palestinians are demanding their right to return to the homes and lands their families were expelled from seventy years ago just as the state of israel came into existence harry fossett has more on 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 one of 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 improvements overall of hamas which controls the gaza strip on this protest it is 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 it perhaps is you the kind of the. little 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 ceasefire many people here feel that process is either collapsing 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 way 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 to come here despite the risks we spoke to one young man who 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 meanwhile palestinian leader mahmoud abbas has rejected the tramp administration's claims that the palace enough thought is not interested in peace talks with israel a bath did this during a meeting with french president emmanuel mccall in the hope of finding european mediators in the conflict of us made the stop in paris on his way to the un general

assembly which will be held in new york next week the trump administration had earlier ordered the closure of the palestinian embassy in washington accusing the p.l.o. of boycotting peace efforts. there's been more fighting in southern neighborhoods of libya's capital tripoli at least eleven people have been killed most of them civilians attempts by the un to impose a cease fire have failed to end the violence at least ninety six people have died in fighting since the end of august mahmud up to one hundred has the latest from tripoli. the sound of heavy gunfire has been heard in several parts of the libyan capital tripoli as clashes have renewed between rival groups battling for control of the libyan capital tripoli now civilians have been paying the heaviest price in these clashes and actually the fighting has taken a heavy toll on civilians the ministry of hers has warned that if the

clashes continue the civilians will continue to suffer the aid agencies have been trying to reach out to the families in and around the clashes area and also the fighting has damaged. power generating plants and so many areas have been under a black cloth for several hours now this is the third time the brokered 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. 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. plenty more on this al jazeera news hour including why donald trump's latest tweet has failed to stop oil prices from rising classy archaeological treasure in iraq that locals say is being treated more like a rubbish dump and scored high lies from a record breaking round of golf from oliver fisher on the european tour to stay with us. thousands of protesters have marched across parts of northwestern syria demanding president bashar assad be removed from office before i knew constitution is drafted the protests come as russia and turkey announce they have confirmed the borders for the day militarized zone in rebel held in a province in the heart of reports. they chant against

bashar assad the syrian president who has survived an eighty year rebellion against his rule the opposition has been all but defeated all they have left is their voices. no constitution no reconstruction until a third leaves power that is there tomorrow and it's a message syrians in villages and towns across the rebel controlled province of idlib are sending 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 contras 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 live 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 ises assad's government but the united nations says there is still potential for a lot of fighting in civilian populated areas turkey and russia did 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 role on the ground what i understand is that the so-called war on terror is not called off in the country that there will be in the future air raids against the listed organizations that 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 the serious. three million syrians who live in italy half of them already displaced from cities and towns under state control for them 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 but many fear a political transition away from the syrian leader is no longer a priority for the center for their answers either bankrupt. the european council president says he's convinced the e.u. and u.k. can still find a compromise on a bracks a deal donald tusk was reacting to british prime minister theresa may who accused leaders are failing to provide better options than her plan which was rejected at a summit in austria in iraq are reports. reeling from her bruising each use

forty seven dollars oil prices have risen by around forty percent in the past year manisha tarkin 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 overall together and as well as a non 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 to level this meeting is the joint ministerial monitoring committee and they are going to look at the status of the market supply demand and outlook for the next few months

and it is the opec meeting the full meeting at 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 a different coat these are the details which i think they were trying to avoid and not going into. still ahead on al-jazeera we'll have more on the accusations surrounding trump's supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh and how christian evangelicals are backing him plus we meet some of nigeria's so-called money why young girls sold into slavery to repay their parents' debts and in sport peter will be here with the latest ahead of the josh up after cain heavyweight well title fight.
