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. how. did this happen in his latest movie fahrenheit eleven nine 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 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 underlings 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 a scattergun approach that he's been criticized for in his past films one of the things about michael's films is there's a certain or shocks quality you know just a guy who has a camera and i'm going out there whatever they think where at least on me in terms of 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 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 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. i'll just see it. and now yemen which of course is at war but that's not stopping some young people from trying to revive the culture of going to the cinema tickets and selling fast for the premiere of a local production as enter simmons' reports from japan. perhaps it's the distraction from a daily struggle that attracted so many people to the first public screening of a movie in yemen since civil war broke out tickets costing two dollars or something well despite the broken economy. ten days before the wedding stands out because it's a yemeni production a love story that takes in the wall with many of its effects russia whose wedding plans nearly fell apart because of the conflict falling incomes and rising prices have a big effect a feels a mamoun struggles with different issues raising

a dowry for example. and. we wanted a movie to show what's going on inside the houses of the city and the whole country how families are affected by the state of the economy how the hoops off young people also collapse everyone is worried that if something simple collapses then everything will collapse with it the whole house we tried to portray the mental state of the yemeni people. those viewing are impressed thing to me i heard that this is a beautiful movie so i came with the family to watch it having a movie made in aden is more than just entertainment there is a sense of pride here about the production. facility in when you compare yemen to the rest of the arab world we are maybe more than one hundred years behind on producing movies but this is a milestone and i hope the government in the private sector will continue to support such projects that helped to create a cinematic awareness the makeshift cinema in aden isn't set in the main conflict

suffered elsewhere in yemen pro-government fighters recaptured the city from who three forces three years ago but there have been frequent attacks by a wide range of disparate fighting groups since them. movie may be a form of escapism out of it though comes one small hope that a vibrant young filmmaking industry may emerge from this conflict a war that some people feel has no end unlike the movie. simmons' al-jazeera djibouti. sports news coming up on the news all the red sox of not just up a history making when far all have those details in just a month. and

a number of metal bars that cut my face and back of my head. and a fairy made for one hundred people more than twice that on board was coming into dog when it capsized on thursday in the following hours forty people were rescued alive. then rescue workers have been recovering the dead. two days after the boat hit on imaginable. survivor found jimmy. trapped underneath navy divers heard a knocking and pulled him out people here wondering how he was allowed to happen and it's not the first time the ferry capsized in twenty eleven and twenty twelve between the times and in mainland and the islands as runs a bar hundreds died boats are often in poor condition and overloaded there is a need for regular patient to make sure that there are ten knows exactly how many

people he has been born into limits the number of people and then there is another if for to do in terms of risk you capacities. for capsizing didn't were it's really really fast. here on the ugandan side of the lake the regulations say that all passengers are meant to wear life jackets and even given some of the ride in this boat although not in brilliant condition to see them or over here but often there aren't enough to go around difficult for the authorities to enforce the rules late last about three hundred kilometers long it's waterways a crucial for trade but everyone here is working on a tight budget boat kept running for decades before they retired this one stopped running after it collided with another in two thousand and five back in tanzania relatives wait for the bodies of loved ones the whole community deeply traumatized the president ordered the operators to be arrested but even if they face justice it

won't bring loved ones back malcolm webb al-jazeera pork barrel uganda. now the woman who's accused president from supreme court pick of sexual assault has confirmed she will testify before a senate committee christine the ford says brett kavanaugh assaulted her at a party in one thousand nine hundred eighty two she's expected to go before the senate judiciary committee next week ahead of cavanagh's confirmation hearing he denies the allegations alan fischer joins us live now from washington so confirmation that christine blazin ford will testify what more you hearing allan. all details still have to be watto you remember that professor ford was given a deadline of two thirty on saturday afternoon about forty minutes ago to confirm whether or not she was willing to testify well it to seventeen into the judiciary committee inbox dropped a message from her attorneys to say yes she would be giving evidence but the added

although many aspects of the proposal you provided via e-mail are fundamentally inconsistent with the committee's promise of a fear impartial investigation into allegations and we are disappointed with the leaks and the building that have tainted the process we are hopeful we can reach an agreement on details so the two sides are going to talk at some point over the next few hours to try and finalize those details you remember that professor ford wanted to give evidence on thursday north and monday that's because she intends traveling from the west coast of the united states by car to washington d.c. she doesn't want to fly she wants to make sure that there are certain safety precautions taken that is because she and her family have received death threats since her identity became public she doesn't want to give evidence when brett kavanaugh is in the room she doesn't want questions from say counsel and she's also interested in the f.b.i. investigating what happened know the local police in montgomery county just outside

washington d.c. where this alleged incident took place thirty six years ago have said if the are given a formal complaint they will investigate so that also adds to the drama of the last few hours but certainly the republicans and the white house believe that brett kavanaugh will be the next justice of the united states supreme court in fact mike pence the vice president has been speaking to so-called values voters right wing conservatives in washington d.c. in the last couple of hours and he said they are setting to get the job done. but honestly the way some democrats have conducted themselves during this process is a disgrace. and a disservice to the senate and the american people that big said the president are confident that senate republicans will manage this confirmation properly with the up most respect for all concerned and i believe the judge brett kavanaugh will

soon be justice brett kavanaugh and take his seat on the supreme court of the united states of america. and so out in the trial the ministration clearly taking in the hills how damaging could it be for them and for the republicans if cavanagh isn't confirmed. for the republicans if he's confirmed the republicans want them confirmed they're certainly very keen on him being confirmed and they're looking at it through the prism of the midterm elections they don't want to be handing their democratic rivals any sort of political victory and you'll remember that the democrats have been opposing this since the very beginning in fact is the democrats who have been more specific racin calling for an f.b.i. investigation into this as well but there's another reason why don't trump is very keen on this justice rather than someone else you remember you to long list of

thirty names that became a very short list he said he was going to have two or three possible candidates and he would go on television to unknowns who would be then it was going to be great kavanah the reason he's keen about brett kavanaugh rather than others is that brett kavanaugh has written a paper in the past which see that a president should not be impeached while he's in office because that detracts from the job that he's trying to do of running the country no leave it to you to decide why donald trump we consider that to be very important but that is why the white house and the republicans are clinging to brett kavanaugh at the moment and in the next few hours hopefully we'll get more details of professor ford and her planned testimony and whether it will go ahead on thursday as she would like and whether or not it will happen after brett kavanaugh is questioned by this committee about the allegations that have been made thank you very much allan fish in washington well
