president donald trump turned on christine blazin ford the woman whose testimony could to rail his supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh we have to fight for him not worry about the other side and by the way women are for that more than anybody would understand on twitter trump question ford story i have no doubt that if the attack on dr ford was as bad as she says charges would have been immediately filed 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

that the female electorate is incredibly important and they already don't like president trump and there is a big concern at how the senate gerri committee treats footboard the republicans on the committee it is entirely a male entirely male panel and there's a lot of concern that they can only go wrong here in how they treat her already with president trump's tweet today only made it a very important vote for him senator susan collins of maine who angrily retorted to the president's tweet and said that she didn't appreciate the way ford was being treated when when the president said that she should have said something years ago so there is our biggest issue and now there's also the question of how senator lisa murkowski got alaska another republican will vote and if lisa murkowski gives us in collins vote against against not a cabinet. of the u.s. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein has denied

a newspaper report that says he discussed the ousting of president donald trump the new york times says he suggested secretly recording trump last year to expose the chaos in the white house rosenstein is overseeing the investigation into russian meddling in the twenty sixteen election he has dismissed the report as factually incorrect john hendren has more 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 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 anonyma. 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 well still ahead on edge is it a british prime minister and hughes's easy leaders of failing to treat the u.k. with respect. and going to the movies again in yemen how some young people are reviving the culture despite the war.

a hate group by the way it represents an integra party of donald trump space we are now officially end session white christian evangelicals long ago put aside their skepticism of donald trump's godliness because he pledged to nominate justices to the supreme court of the united states who would rule in favor of christian fundamentalist belief eighty percent voted for him in the election and loyalty to trump remains high but there is a feeling among christian evangelical leaders but republican members of congress own 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 kavanagh remained solid if you walked in anywhere and said i have i want to report on a sexual assault yes ma'am. when did this happen thirty six years ago

excuse me. thirty six years ago yes do you have a eyewitnesses where there are two witnesses but they both deny it happened. are you concerned about the allegations of sexual assault. not that much didn't get to first i don't think it will come out voting more because the republicans have to stand up for something and that's what the republican leadership fears are already nervous about low 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 the evangelicals it will be a disaster which is why they're pushing for a swift confirmation vote but the risk for republicans is that if the governor is confirmed without seeming to have a fair hearing or investigation into the allegations it will enrage independents

called off in the country that 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 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 but many fear the political transition away from the syrian leader is no longer a priority for the center for their answers either. elise in mali crackdown on anti-government protesters in the capital on the eve of independence day
