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 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 kavanagh remained 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 do you have a eyewitnesses where there are two witnesses but they both deny it happened. are
5:03 pm
you concerned about the allegations of sexual assault. not that much said he didn't get confirmed i don't know if i'd even come out about any more because the republicans have to stand up for something and that's what the republican leadership fears are 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 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 it is confirmed without seeming to have a fair hearing or investigation into the allegations it will enrage independents and women voters to turn out in force in the against them. washington. now the u.s. documentary filmmaker michael moore has released a new movie that compares donald trump's rise to that of hitler's fahrenheit eleven
5:04 pm
and nine is the sequel to his controversial film fahrenheit nine eleven about george w. bush it's also a play on words on the date that mr trump won the u.s. election. he's one of america's most popular documentary makers and he's also one of the most polarizing focusing his lens on everyone from george w. bush now watch this drive from my. to the national rifle association to the u.s. health care system it was only a matter of time before michael moore set his sights on america's polarizing president donald trump. this year in his latest movie fahrenheit eleven nine the date of the two thousand and sixteen presidential election michael moore examines the reasons why trump won what seemed at first like an unlikely race to the presidency and most controversially at one point compares
5:05 pm
his rise to. that of adolf hitler in germany in the one nine hundred thirty s. richard penus a professor of film studies at columbia university he recently hosted a q. and a with more on the new movie he thinks the comparison is fair here and read statements that are terrifying you know coming from the president or some of his underling it's important to realize i think that fascism is one thing and like every other system it evolves so i think fascism of the one nine hundred thirty s. would not be fascism in the twenty first century it will have its own characteristics the movie is wide ranging in scope using examples as diverse as the parklane school shooting to the polluted water crisis in his hometown flint michigan to get the point across he scattergun approach that he's been criticized for in his past films one of the things about michael's films that there's a certain or shocks quality you know i'm just a guy who has a camera and i'm going out there whatever after a while they began to i think where at least on me in terms of
5:06 pm
a political tool there's less of that here so i think you really shows what he wanted to film very very closely and i think the sequences are are very well constructed michael moore says he intends fahrenheit eleven nine to be a wake up call to america showing people not only how donald trump got into office but how they can take him out but with so many people having already made up their mind about this proudly liberal filmmaker some argue all he's doing is preaching to the already converted. to. stay in the states mr trump is again hissing at rising fuel prices the u.s. president's comments calmness the world's top oil producers consider boosting production by a million barrels per day the increase would make up for falling oil supply from iran because of u.s. sanctions ahead of sunday's opec meeting in algeria mr trump said we protect the
5:07 pm
countries of the middle east. it 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 he said well the price of brant crude oil is close to a four year high trading at just under eighty dollars per barrel and that's still well short of the two thousand and eight peak of one hundred forty seven dollars oil prices have risen by run forty percent in the past twelve months when you should talk in as an international oil and energy consultant and formerly a researcher with opec he says the 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 a non opec members russia who are in unison now i think they wouldn't react to this
5:08 pm
they're not happy definitely very upset by the tone of president. trump says comments ordering this this meeting really is not to decide their level this meeting is the joint ministerial monitoring committee and they are going to look at the status of the order market supply demand and 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 where 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. the u.k.'s foreign secretary is warning e.u. leaders not to mistake british politeness for weakness in the brics at negotiations
