found christine was a ford the psychology professor who has accused kavanaugh of trying to rape her when they were teenagers they've even though they said they found her credible they said there were too many inconsistencies in the evidence they have in order to try to do rail of the nomination and so they are pushing ahead with a vote at seventeen thirty g.m.t. in order to push his nomination before the full view west senate democrats on the panel however say not enough evidence has been brought forward to actually analyze the allegations and they say that the republicans are simply trying to push through his nomination for political reasons already senators on the democratic side have walked out to protest what they consider a rush to judgment in this case while republicans are continuing to accuse democrats of trying to orchestrate a political smear campaign against kavanaugh so that they might get some sort of.

benefit in the two thousand and eighteen midterm congressional elections it's going to be a very contentious business meeting but it's almost a foregone conclusion that unless something goes wrong brett kavanaugh will find his recommendation going to the full u.s. senate still ahead on al-jazeera aiming to open a crucial lifeline into young men who are more on the u.n. special envoys plan to reopen the sunnah airport in just a moment passed in one mosque the billionaire brown child in charge of tesla is accused of fraud details on that story coming up as well. hello most of china is now dry human is not too high the cloud is still around in sichuan was quite a big mess here that went across the border into northern vietnam and produced

a lot of rain over a hundred millimeters in the last two days that rain is likely to slowly disappear or go south at least and there's not much left to the north on either but i think it might well redevelop on its way through to do in the next day or so as i say hong kong thirty one degrees is probably quite pleasant at the moment not overly humid because most of the activities in a typhoon to the east the retreating monsoon is still producing significant rain in india carol and mill seward's with a shower or two to the east of that to queue up in the northeast corner this is marty expect it's slowly disappearing the monsoon hasn't yet goals the next two days may well be pretty similar to each other to the west we've seen some significant some storms surprisingly yesterday in jeddah there's nothing in the immediate focus for i think the sun and mountains of saudi or yemen could see a shower or two or as honest or two in the next day or so is unlikely elsewhere but you have to say you can't entirely rule it out however there have been significant

showers around in iran just to the north of terror and they are repeatable. this muslim undertakers working here are six seven days a week that's grown with a community my father purchased a black and blue sweater and stole two to do the funeral and the family we saw the stock being faltering to which i became business partners the stories we don't often hear told by the people who the gift is such a level. east and undertakers this is europe on al-jazeera.

hello again the top stories on al-jazeera china's foreign minister has taken to the stage at the u.n. to discuss trade and opening existing markets barriers and pointed remarks possibly aimed at the us why and he warned against protectionism his comments i made a deepening trade war between beijing and washington the foreign ministers from the gulf cooperation council have been meeting on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly the gathering has been organized by the u.s. secretary of state my pompei o it's the first time such a meeting has been held since the blockade of qatar last year in the u.s. some democrats have walked out of the senate judiciary committee's final debate over brett kavanaugh his confirmation to the supreme court lawmakers have been reviewing thursday's testimony from kavanagh and one of the women who accused him of sexual misconduct. the united nations human rights council has voted to extend an inquiry into crimes in yemen the approval overrides objections from saudi arabia

and yemen's government bernard smith reports or neighboring djibouti it comes as the u.n. envoy to yemen pushes for a new talks between the warring parties. five times over the past few years these families have been forced to travel hundreds of kilometers across the deserts of northern yemen to escape the fighting like another twenty two million people in this country they need humanitarian assistance. we are stuck between the rain in the sun and we eat what others here for us we have nothing and until now no organization has given us anything. with almost the entire population on its knees the un is pushing again to get the warring parties to talks it's going to be within weeks i don't think we can allow it to be delayed until kind of over the horizon because the problem with that is and i've been reassured this week between people here in new york that people lose the narrative of peace and once you lose the

opportunity to talk about a settlement the narrative of war becomes dominance and that's what we must try to get away from for now war still dominates the narrative these are recent strikes by the saudi u.a.e. led coalition on what it says are who the fight is in her data province near a crucial port. conflict began with a twenty fourteen takeover of the capital sanaa by the booth is an iranian backed group that toppled the internationally recognized government saudi u.a.e. coalition joined in to support the government for the past year it's imposed an almost total and sea blockade the un is trying again to loosen those restrictions i want to make an announcement about the opening of sana airport if i can finalize that i want to make announcements about how we can get prisoners released both sides we've made a lot of progress since geneva reopening the airport will allow thousands of people to get medical treatment overseas and increase the flow of aid coming in. djibouti

. iran's foreign minister has denounced israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu allegations against iran at the u.n. general assembly as an obscene charge that's anyone who accuse the iranian government of maintaining a nuclear weapons facility in the outskirts of the capital to her on he insisted iran has violated the twenty fifty nuclear deal and has not given up on pursuing its nuclear weapons program he has the reaction from tehran. well in the last few hours something that's been circulating on social media here and iran is a video clip of the foreign minister zarif in new york sitting with an aide and they joke about how whoever provided the israeli prime minister with this information may have done it as a practical joke to create public embarrassment and that's gives you a sense of exactly how outlandish they think that these allegations are also coming

from zarif shortly after the speech at the u.n. by the israeli prime minister foreign minister zarif took to twitter as he often does and said that no arts and crafts show by the israeli leader will hide the fact that he in fact has a secret nuclear program the foreign minister of iran alleges and that in the middle east it's israel that has an atomic arsenal that it should confess to and open up for international inspectors to take a look at now that's coming from the foreign minister in new york from the foreign ministry spokesman here in teheran we heard the first response from behar on kasumi who called the allegations in the speech false and farcical he then pointed to the international atomic energy agency the u.n. watchdog responsible for all things related to nuclear issues and he said that in the in the years since the twenty fifteen nuclear deal was signed the i.a.e.a. has carried out twelve thorough inspections and each time has given iran

a clean bill of health and has said that iran is in compliance with the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal so you know the same kind of response from iran to the same kind of allegations we've heard from israel in the past voters in the kurdish region of northern iraq are casting their ballots and regional elections the first since a failed bid for independence despite frustration among voters over a loss of economic powers after that's a session effort the two major parties are expected to dominate the katy perry. rival's p u k have shared power for three decades the final result may have an impact in baghdad where a kurd has to be chosen as president under a power sharing deal now trains stop travelling between the cities of baghdad when i saw overran much of western iraq in twenty fourteen a year ago the government declared the group defeated and as the link between two cities reopens locals are recognizing the benefits and reports.

journey between baghdad and fallujah takes just fifty five minutes by railway and the high cost of fuel means traveling by road is more expensive. basic train tickets for a one way journey cost just under two dollars. there's nothing going by the train is much easier we avoid traffic jams many checkpoints across the highway or even deadly car accidents it's also much cheaper than road transport. when the train arrives in fallujah fifty seven kilometers may not seem far. but this reopen truck is a milestone for iraq's railways rob matheson. back to. a liberian court has issued arrest warrants for dozens of former officials of the central bank and the son of the former president ellen johnson sirleaf shipments of new notes worth more than one hundred million dollars went missing after passing through the country's main ports the missing cash is roughly equivalent to five percent of the

for forcing policies in the country which in the end heard the working class. there's a mixture of self-inflicted mistakes. and sings with her heritage. but . i think that the object of the guard at most is to start with a fresh clean sheet and. trying to top the cheapest that it could just. and trying to get rid of the monitor advantage and try to relaunch a bit it's going to program with the objective of reaching two thousand and nineteen election in. a good position argentinians arthur million with what an economic crisis looks like and even though the government is doing its best to prevent the situation from getting worse many are wondering whether it will be enough to prevent the past from repeating itself. that is how will.

option because you like. what. you really want to do it didn't. really enjoy doing nothing so my dad's a big character i was really difficult because for twenty years over twenty years we sort of stopping father and daughter and became business partners which challenge to stomach leigh how i was dealing with him and talking to him and there's this very much disrespect thing. and we deal with things very very differently i was in partnership with my dad only up until recently. who know was here for twenty years and she decided to achieve would stand back for a while because maybe she wanted to direct her to trust him to nose and i was standing in her way we have women come here their husbands have died and they can

relate to a woman better than they can a man especially with asian women so we need a woman's touch here and i think it will be coming back. we have about thirty thousand plus muslim population here in the white chapel east london area and this is always been the kind of melting pot of southern england. you know did not prepare you paula visit the mosque every now and then and not only did i go. to the extent the most trouble the bit of a turn over the islands. lovely little towns and causing quite a bunch of. they came the day was. consoled by the i think it was the it was the other night temperature leading to for what great britain's first was privileged to be in london i was speech she might arrive in belfast is someone that isn't and you always assume it's because the kids in

fact incidently working quite straight was closed off because you had to find the same time i'm sure it was developed by now friend. and you know i don't live in the area. something. well let me know what the it's simply you know there and if you need me we work together we go on to give a what. i want to for some even the many well what we all respect one another's views yeah to a point of we disagree sometimes but we don't ram have used them people shrug. the way i do you can't be fearful just in case you as you know that. when the downy i'm not ok and think we're going to happen is it going to happen yeah especially when you got the kates.

what i could. to get to your original question yes you have to give them the original green certificate last year which is flowing this country you have to have the green to pick up the original ok and he problems give me a ring but i think you're going by. you only bury somebody once and people remember things when they go wrong weddings and funerals and if you do it right the way my dad used to do it then that's good and if you do it wrong those people will never forget you and will always curse you. too. this is the picture of dad and me. yeah when i was about five years of age because my father that wasn't very happy about having photographs taken when mothers in the sari and i'm sure this was about nineteen fifty six this was taken. around about the mid sixty's when there was an influx of muslim people arriving

a dark person but she didn't care but i'm also proud to be a bangladeshi as well. oh yeah that's my dad that's my dad roughly. four weeks before he died and is now when he graduated. and muna when she graduated she sees the world in a different way because being younger than me she can maybe project forward where i don't that's why i think politicians shouldn't be allowed to be politicians after sixty five but some young blood for us away because they got better ideas and see things better than we do we're always thinking in the past and they're thinking in the future and it's important. so i do miss her yes.
