with local law enforcement for it is a california professor at the center of an explosive allegation against kavanaugh from thirty six years ago she says that while in high school kavanagh sexually assaulted her at a party attempting to remove her bathing suit while holding his hand over her mouth and on behalf of them on friday more than six dozen women some of whom have known cavanagh since high school question ford sexual assault claim backing cavanagh as a person of honor integrity and a person of strong moral character kind and good natured a good man who is incapable of mistreating anyone. the final say will come from congress republicans have offered to let both make their case for it hasn't yet agreed prompting republicans to issue an ultimatum to testify or congress begins voting on the nomination on monday he was born for the u.s.

request as well last night in her lawyers response and request they did request that that still be a pre-condition 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 committee members seem to be rushing this process through without really looking into what happened and calling all the potential witnesses that could eliminate the american public about what took place. u.s. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein has denied a newspaper reporter alleging that he discussed ousting president donald trump the new york times says he suggested secretly recording trump early last year to expose

the chaos in the white house he's also reported to have suggested recruiting cabinet members to remove him under the twenty fifth amendment rosenstein is dismissed the reporter's factually incorrect he's overseeing the federal investigation into russia's role in the two thousand and sixteen election john hendren has more from washington d.c. . 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 has 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 invoke 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 now 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 rosenstein 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 attorney general of the united states who recused himself and that put rosenstein in charge of the robert mueller investigation into the trumpet ministration 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 a. 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 that was true he could fire him on that basis for insubordination to gaza now where the health ministry says one protester has been killed and at least forty injured by israeli fire along the gaza border fence on friday demonstrations against the israeli blockade of gaza have been going on for more than five months palestinians are demanding their right to return to their homes and their land families were expelled from seventy years ago just the state

of israel came into existence how a force that has borne 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 improvement or 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 are 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. as even more fighting in southern neighborhoods of libya's capital tripoli at least eleven people have been killed most of them civilians attempts by the u.n.

to impose a ceasefire failed to end the violence at least ninety six people have died in fighting since the end of august. head as the latest from tripoli. the sound of heavy gunfire has been heard in several parts of the libyan capital tripoli as it 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 there the ministry of hers has wanted 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 blackout of power cut for several hours now this is the third time

a 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. still ahead on al jazeera rising from the ashes specialists are called in to help brazil restore damaged artifacts after a five destroyed the national museum. thailand's military rulers loosen their rules
