ten years in jail cosby was found guilty in april of three counts of aggravated indecent assault after drugging and sexually assaulting andrea konstam in two thousand and four he used exacting skills and. deering t.v. personality to win over his victims and then keep them silent about what he did to them so now finally bill cosby has been unmasked and we have seen the real man as he's headed off to prison while the trial focused on the one crime against miss constant more than sixty other women have accused cosby of sexual misconduct spanning decades and after the sentencing many said they were glad he was going to jail i wanted thirty we hear. it i'm very happy to know that mr pot we're all my friends call me is hardly a poem i can talk about on one leg. ok good thank you i just did

it just to get it so big that they can make it through and then there's just the good cosby is legally blind in failing health and a philanthropist and that is why his lawyers argued that the judge should show leniency and he should be sent to house arrest but it was denied his lawyers plan to appeal this because if the best team is preparing a motion to address mr skilling you falsified ever did with the kind of thing if we did not quite so we actually caused be produced in starting a family friendly sitcom the cosby show in the one nine hundred eighty s. it was about the life of an affluent african-american family and it was the most watched television program in america from one nine hundred eighty four to eighty nine the nine hundred sixty five t.v. series i spy was the first american television drama to feature a black actor cause be played the lead role. for most of his life as an actor and

come forward accusing cosby spamming i think the first reported one was one nine hundred sixty two so i do think that many of the victims have been able to tell their stories i do think that this has been given them a platform to discuss their trauma so while i think that there could be more victims out there i do think that this has given space to those who have come forward already the tv's own dad get carted off in handcuffs i think that this is a great example of the impact and the influence that the need to movement has really created to see him leave the court in handcuffs and to actually spend time in state prison i think that this shows that things have changed the pendulum has definitely swung. just a final thoughts on that point and how significant was the sentencing then in the wider debate about sexual misconduct is it likely to encourage more women to come forward to talk about their own experiences i definitely think it will encourage

more women to come forward sadly if you look at what angela constant had to go through to get to this day it's not very encouraging she had to go through. two trials much less the depositions before that in the civil suit prior to that so it's not an easy road and that's obvious but i think as we believe women and survivors more and more and we see outcomes like cars be today more people will be likely to come forward in the future. for a short break here and al-jazeera when we come back britain's main opposition party vows to reject the prime minister's breaks a deal. how come now one of my you know a lot news even looks to its youngsters to help revive its indigenous language. and sport pakistan look to make sure their last chance of making the asia cup final doesn't slip through their fingers more on that stay with us.

proud of who ming city a city with a drug problem. in a neighborhood consumed by traffic julio transforms the square into a bunch of killing children through bleak frameless street and it's. out on the street of the goo find the latin america series al-jazeera. welcome back a quick reminder the top stories here this hour donald trump used his address at the u.n. general assembly to brag about his accomplishments and his two years in office he

said he'd done more in that time than any of his predecessors a claim that led to laughter in the assembly. when he also use that dressed a little more criticism at iran the iranian president hassan rouhani hit back on his came here cues the united states of waging what he called economic terrorism and failings on the international agreements. and the united arab emirates says it will support u.n. proposals for new peace talks. on yemen two weeks ago planned talks in geneva were called off after who the rebel officials failed to show up on the ground the u.n. is warning of famine could strike at any time. let's get you more now on the trump speech at the u.n. general assembly and talk to chris garcia he served in the u.s. department of commerce during the trump presidency he joins us live from washington not surprisingly president trump speech was a dog's with most mainstream world leaders reinforcing his america first policy and rejecting globalism i mean it just strengthens america's isolationist stance doesn't it. well not exactly that this is president trump speaking bluntly speaking

directly but it's important to remember that america first does not mean america alone just as america should look out for its own interests ahead of all other nations interests so should france so should germany so should our arab allies look out for their own interests and their people's own interest first this is a president from viewing the world through the eyes of a successful businessmen and business it's important that each party each respective party look out for their own interests first and that is that the key to a successful deal the president has carried that viewpoint into the presidency and believes that truly global world order can only exist truly prosperously and peacefully if each nation looks out for its people first one of the big themes from the speech is that he clearly had iran in his gun sights during the speech but as the iranian president reminded the assembly the iran nuclear deal is enshrined in international law and it's the u.s. that's in violation. well the president has long felt and so have many of his

advisors and many americans frankly believe that this iran deal was not a good deal to begin with and this is u.s. sovereignty frankly action the president and the united states has the right to unilaterally withdraw from the steel and frankly get in place a better deal so we can talk about specific specifics of the iran deal but i think the overall theme is to really take a look at what president trump has done in withdrawing the united states from not just the iran nuclear deal but many deals that have done economic harm national security harm to united states and in pursuit of renegotiating those deals the president continues to espouse the view that america first means we have to take care of our american workers our american businesses and frankly american national security first let's just talk about the response from the u.n. secretary general he warned of a world walking the road of populism and isolationism one small ignoring the lessons of the growth of fascism in the nineteenth and

a lot mainly he warned of the risk of another global conflict and i'm told you'll get ted is clearly had donald trump in his mind in the. well it's true but unfortunately that this is the basis of that argument is not sound frankly what we see is this is a kind of the same principles as economic free market principles multilateralism globalism relies on a few unelected unaccountable bureaucrats that essentially are planning for the masses you know the concept of a central state controlled central government that plans for the economic masses plans for the economic outcome of the masses does not work and so the president kind of see is that as the same principles that go into this globalist you know multilateral type of governance the president believes that the the true interests of people and the specter of nations are best met best met frankly if if

each nation is accountable to its own people first we have to leave it there thank you very much indeed sir for your time president trump also used his speech to target longtime u.s. allies like germany mike hanna has more on that and on whom he praised. many leaders mysis speaking slots at the u.n. general assembly. but president trump chose to take questions on his way in we were doing really great remains and the speakers list was hurriedly rearranged to make up for the delay punctuality not the only norm ignored the rain clouds gathering over the united nations heralded a new weekly isolationist american policy outlined within one in which old allies shop he criticized germany will become totally dependent. on russian energy if it does not immediately change course the german delegation scoffed one member

vigorously chewing gum while president trump went on to embrace new friends there is saudi arabia where king solomon and the crown prince are pursuing bold new reforms this is the day off to embracing another leader accused of human rights violations the endorsement of an egyptian president whose figure risky pursued a policy of arbitrary detention of journalists and political opponents and after the public praise of that emir putin earlier this year it was noted there was no criticism of russia in president trumps u.n. address despite the condemnation of what is seen as illegal russian actions by close u.s. allies like the u.k. and france the french president then arguing passionately grating with the iranian leadership a short while after president trump demonized it donald trump was only four months old when the first step at united nations general assembly debate took place in

party the democratic party well it's becoming a more democratic party and i think the leadership will accept. the voice of the members. about democracy and actually the call for a new referendum on brics it is also about democracy labor membership has boomed under a philosophy that says the wider the wealth gap in britain the harder you have to fight back until now this unrepentant socialism has maintained a deafening silence over bricks it's but no longer over the course of this week the labor party has unveiled a whole theft of eye catching aggressively position policies in favor of redistributing wealth to working people things like putting workers on company boards three nationalizing case services that sort of thing and every single one of them could be achieved without the u.k. having to leave the european union. heads. so labor is now offering two

things at once first a vote down any deal the government comes up with in parliament on the grounds that it will be economically damaging while simultaneously calling for a national election or a new vote which could include a choice of not leaving europe it's all happening first to see all those fever there was no doubting which way the vote was going to go. gradually it seems the time it is turning we knew already that the e.u. leaders would definitely extend the article fifty process if we would have. a face on the deal or indeed general election they wouldn't interfere in the democratic process and make us go away from the line during that time so really that's not a worry what we need to do is to make sure that we do have that option so that it's the people of this country having the final say and not just people decisions most labor m.p.'s who support breck's that haven't turned up this week and they worry that a u.-turn could alienate their own constituents who voted to leave this veteran looked

named acting president becoming the country's first female head of state was wayne hay joins us live now from am i when tell us what's happening today and how they're bidding farewell to the late president. as you mentioned a. period of national mourning has been declared so the funeral ceremony itself will take two days so far on wednesday morning we've seen a very steady stream of people entering the national funeral hall behind me to pay their last respects to the late president so it's mainly being government officials communist party officials military representatives and also diplomats based here in the capital hanoi the public will also get a chance to go into the national funeral hall data on wednesday to pay their respects and then on thursday the actual funeral ceremony will be held and after that the body of the late president will be taken just over one hundred kilometers

south of the capital hanoi to nimbin province which is where he was born where he grew up in a small farming community and that is where he will be laid to rest in that same village in that same nimbin province where he was born there and away and is his death likely to cause much disruption to the government. well on the face of it no i think we're unlikely to see any significant disruption publicly these things tend to happen in terms of leadership changes etc behind closed doors in vietnam the first thing of course that needs to be done is to find a new president to replace die quietly as you mentioned a very significant moment right now because vietnam has its first female head of. with the vice president stepping up to be acting president at the moment she will remain in that position until a new president is found that force to the national assembly to elect a new president that won't happen until october twenty second at the earliest

that's when they should jeweled sitting all the national assembly is due to begin at last for a month so while there is no confirmation of when a new president will be elected we expect it will happen within that month long period but as far as any significant lobbying behind the scenes any significant power shifts would probably not likely to see anything for for a few years those reshuffles at the top of government at the top of the communist party happen every five years the current leadership group came to power in two thousand and sixteen so we're not talking about really two thousand and twenty one until we see any significant changes at the top but like i say some time next month we should see a new president put in place all right wayne how you then how do i weigh in thank you. pope francis says he and not the chinese government will have the final say over the naming of new bishops and.
