themselves sexual assault survivors confronted arizona republican jeff flake a swing vote on cabinet they called on flake not to allow a man accused of sexual violence to sit on the supreme court after that flake voted to send kavanagh's nomination to the full senate and he insisted the vote be delayed by a week so that the f.b.i. could investigate several sexual assault charges against the nominee we ought to do what we can to make sure. that we do all due diligence with a nomination this important. shockingly the republican party leadership agree they had been stonewalling similar calls from democrats and survivor groups. what may have helped an apparent change of heart on friday from u.s. president donald trump who would also called such an investigation unnecessary i'm going to let the senate handle that they'll make their decisions and they've been doing a good job and very professional development comes at the end of

a contentious hearing to recommend kavanagh's nomination with demonstrators getting arrested and senators walking out in protest the big argument whether the republican controlled panel was taking seriously christine glossy ford's allegation that kavanagh tried to rape. in one thousand nine hundred two democrats said the panel was ignoring blazin ford because it wasn't demanding an f.b.i. investigation when it came to these allegations they wanted to cut off that process and you have to ask ron i have to understand but republican said kavanagh's previous f.b.i. background checks never found any signs he sexually assaulted women and so there was no need for a new investigation all i can say about miss ford i feel sorry for her and i do believe something happened to her and i don't know when and where but i don't believe it was brett kavanaugh congressional republicans and president donald

trump say this new f.b.i. investigation can only focus on what they call credible allegations that's certain to set off a whole new round of arguments with russian all democrats what is certain though is that public pressure to find out whether brett kavanaugh ever assaulted any woman has yielded results at least for now rosalind jordan al-jazeera capitol hill. let's take you back to that earthquake and tsunami in indonesia rescues a struggling to deal with the very latest then from tommy so dept he's a journalist in jakarta good to have you with us tommy have rescue is being able now to reach all the stricken areas. rescue rescuers have not been able to reach the hardest hit areas we're talking about the coastal town of dongola now earlier we reported that that toll at three hundred forty that's coming from the national disaster agency now it needs to be noted that

the number of that that saw the number of casualties is only coming from one area we have yet to receive updates of information a spell later conditions from other hardest hit areas particularly in the coastal town of dongola now the latest information we received in the mission hour is the commercial airport in provincial city of pardew has just been reopened but only for humanitarian reasons the information coming in the information minister earlier on held a press conference saying that he promised the shane that he would for he first see a commercial airport to be reopened this evening but it's not clear whether it will indeed open this evening or not now the reopening of the commercial airport for humanitarian proposers is expected to expedite the process to sew the process through to send the logical as well as the emergency aid that's been underway since

this morning and last night so what's holding rescuers back from getting into some of those stricken areas they can't reach now is it only the issue of opening up ports. no that's the area of the city and also the central florida province as a whole is actually particularly quite well. however the magnitude of the quit it struck that it actually damage is actually going to create massive damages on the road particularly the eventual roads that connect power long to the nearby or the nearby series. we know now that official. merchants affairs that have been on the road since this morning of from the port city of memphis are but they have yet to reach a fellow because because they are hampered by the back roads we know that. hospital see the pastor from our costs us this morning but. i don't think we haven't

received confirmation whether the hospitals it has actually reached pal or not because there's also an issue of the port it's not clear whether the port in follow it still is still managing to receive incoming ships or not or i will leave it there for now thanks so much tony subject to. earthquakes are common in indonesia and that's because it lives on the so-called ring of fire it's the line of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that circles nearly the entire pacific rim friday's tsunami came less than a month after the southern island of lombok was hit by a series of powerful earthquakes more than four hundred fifty people were killed and fourteen years ago hundred twenty thousand people were killed after a magnitude nine point one earthquake off the smarter island triggered a tsunami that swept away entire communities around the indian ocean.

well john gal fand is head of indonesia office at the international federation of the red cross and red crescent societies and joins us via skype from jakarta good to have you with us first of all do you expect the death toll to rise even further . it's a you know an awful question not to answer. it events like this i mean the whilst we hope that there will be no more it's not uncommon for those numbers to road to rise as more rescue teams come in and more of the collapsed buildings are are searched and certainly no man's your previous caller earlier interview talked about how they haven't even got to all of the areas you know not information from all over cross the coast and not even getting into some of the more remote areas when you have it in. an earthquake that is that high

a seven point seven in that shower or ten kilometers it does significant damage something i would not be surprised unfortunately and sadly not to say that those numbers will make them go or what sort of assistance do you need from authorities perhaps unable to reach all of the stricken areas. it's not just a question of mccarthyism in your story certainly the faster they can get the towers fix so that we can get into airports. the faster that they can be looking at some of the perhaps damaged them some of the transportation some of the roads that will allow us to get in some of those areas. correlated we have people who don't move from the to do. that are having to travel ten to twelve hours by vehicle a lot of the roads are no noble dition where you water trucks the challenger jets bringing tarpaulins all that patient and kind of need and hopefully the faster

we can clear some a better way the faster we are everyone in the humanitarian community stuff to people that they can quickly and more efficiently without the hospitals are struggling what what kind of help the aid agencies like hills need from the international community know it's try and relieve as much as possible the suffering that well it really depends on the organization some were sectors such as parents some shelter the international federation the red armstrong indonesian red cross where they have five hundred thousand volunteers struck the territory we emptied our warehouses and we are you know bringing all the goods that we can into the area but i mean you always need more than is going to numbers are going to go up it's not just of the people that of there died unfortunately were also the people that are around the toll was sort of going have water to drink or you know their children are are are suffering some trauma are because of what's happening we are with you know need to find

a good assessments of what is needed there are going to government others that the government and then we meet those needs collectively all right john thanks very much for your input about what's going on on the ground john gelfand. where do you think you japan nearly two thousand two hundred thousand rather homes are without power after a powerful typhoon hit the southern island of okinawa hundreds of people have been evacuated typhoon trami is made landfall on saturday and is expected to reach the mainland in twenty four hours western japan is recovering after typhoon gebbie which tore through the country earlier this month. i mean more still ahead on the news hour including gaza in mourning funerals being held for palestinian protesters killed by israeli forces on friday. trial by error a new electronic voting machines tested in the democratic republic of congo ahead of december elections. we'll hear from the newly named world football or of the

year with mitzi struggling to hit its stride this season. russia's foreign minister says the u.s. is undermining world order and that relations between the two are at an all time low so again lavrov was addressing the un general assembly he defended global organizations and warned against u.s. protectionist policy he also vowed moscow would do everything possible to save the iran nuclear deal. when the program was to play in we're observing it onslaught belligerent revisionism against a modern system of international law attacks have been launched against the basic principles of the middle east peace process the joint comprehensive plan of action on the iranian nuclear program the commitments within the world trade organization

framework the multilateral climate agreement and many more release of those accusations of interference into internal affairs of certain countries are being media at the same time as overt endeavors to undermine and and topple democratically elected governments. can i ask you a question about syria and about the important deal that you did russia did with turkey there is a question in that deal which is what happens to the fighters from the group that used to call themselves i'll nuestra so can you explain to us how they are going to leave and if they don't leave who's going to force them to leave and where are they going to go. collages of being transported out of the demilitarized belt as well as heavy weapons yes indeed there is a question about what is going to happen next next turkey as you probably know if you have read the memorandum signed in sochi has taken upon itself an obligation to separate the opposition which is prepared to take part in the political process

from job at all nuestra this is not a simple task funerals are being held for the seven palestinians including two children who were killed by israeli troops in gaza or on friday thousands of people were rallying along garza's barrier fence with israel as part of protests that began in march demonstrations have been demanding the right of return of palestinian refugees and then to more than a decade long israeli blockade. let's go live now turn our harley's live for us from ramallah in the west bank must be a somber mood today then in iran as people bury their dead that's absolutely right but it will be also a mood where there will be some defiance from the palestinians in gaza are we likely to be speeches at those funeral saying that the protest movement will not come to an end because of what's happened they will be saying that these protests will continue and until the israeli and egyptian led siege is lifted this

is a stand that's been going on since march thirtieth when these protests began have the defacto rulers in the gaza strip issued a statement yesterday saying they would continue to protest all the way up until. that siege was lifted. are there any diplomatic moves afoot to ease this blockade after the collapse of indirect talks. yes there are there are a number of talks taking place with a lot of as you say have floundered the un or have been very deeply involved between israel and hamas to try and bring an end to the process but you also have to realize that these really lootera when it comes to gaza they found something that has actually surprised them these kites that the palestinians are using are very basic things i mean they kites at the end of the day what they do is they fly these kites up into israeli territory they have a small incendiary device that's attached to the bottom often it's

a condom filled with flammable liquid that they set fire to when the kite goes over into israeli territory they cut the string and that kite in central joist falls to the ground and sets fire to crops on the israeli side news releases are the narrative being played out is these are terror kites they call them and they are using drones to try and bring them down it's something that the israeli media the israelis themselves are saying is a weapon being used against them the palestinians say that this is the only way of resisting the siege that they have left that they throw rocks but these radios also being criticized for their heavy handed use of. dispersal techniques they use like i say use drones with tear gas attached to them fly over the palestinian protesters heads they also use gas fired from jeeps and life eye which is why we've seen such a heavy death toll for friday diplomatic efforts are continuing stalled but they are they are continuing but they don't seem to be going anywhere and the palestinian protesters in gaza are determined to continue this protest movement.

all right we'll leave it there. now a coalition of opposition figures in the democratic republic of congo is holding a rally in the capital kinshasa in the run up to presidential elections in december a total of twenty one candidates have been approved but the exclusion of some key opposition figures has thrown the votes fenice into doubt going president joseph kabila is backing emmanuel amazon a shudder in the long delayed vote his main opponents are likely to be the leader of the largest opposition party felix. and. he came third in the two thousand and eleven election conspicuously out is former vice president. he was banned this month over a witness tampering conviction the x. provincial governor was. being prevented from returning from exile to register his

candidacy catherine is live for us from kinshasa so we'll talk about the opposition candidate in a moment but first i understand take us through some of the opposition concerns about the very vote counting process.

anything memo book called are on their way to bond in the west of democratic republic of congo for three strangest sharing this barge with many others on a two day journey home along the congo river. it's the only way for them to travel cheaply in a country with crumbling infrastructure in december they go to the polls hoping that whoever the elect will improve their lives they will for the first time use electronic voting machines. i do not know anything about this machine. it's the only thing i have is my vote does count opposition leaders and other civil society groups say the new system is not secure enough the technology was created

by a south korean company which built similar machines for lections in argentina last year but the devices were then rejected because of security issues that made them to hackers for russian votes is not. right because there is a in i would rule we we speak. about the. electoral commission officials deny suggestions the machines could be used for wreaking and say changing the system means delaying the election they have the support of members of the ruling coalition. every mission has been taken by the electoral commission of of the process to secure opposition politicians like him is this afraid they will lose. about one hundred thousand machines will be distributed

across this vast nation the second largest in africa to be used by forty six million registered voters most people in d.r. congo live in rural areas of this port in the capital kinshasa travellers tell us that they are worried about the election in the new voting system but on many also say that they are more concerned about the basics food shelter security and better ways of getting home than this rickety boats. we are expecting a lot from this election this division in the country is not good people are suffering. i fear. with less than three months to go before the polls changing the system seems highly unlikely but opposition leaders are standing their ground for media and questionable technology will only dent the credibility of the vote. position coalition is coming together

with a consensus candidate are going to meet that goal. that's .

all right catherine saw their thanks for now former malaysian deputy prime minister and were brought him as began campaigning in a local election three enter parliament as an m.p. on what is expected to easily win the poll but faces a surprise challenge from the next eight who. landed him in prison prime minister mahathir mohamad pardoned on want to earlier this year and pledged to hand over the reins to him within two years. i don't know what will have all the whether with robert still ahead here on al-jazeera the leaders of germany and turkey need to gain but will the visit be enough to bridge that divide. teachers in morocco debate

what language is most suitable for students. and a red defeat for the german football champions have the details coming up in sports the. from the clear blue sky of the doha moving. to the french autumn breeze in the city of you know. when i have to address this thing which looks like a major time food it's got a huge i mean it's not actually quite as bad as it might look it's not a category five anymore it's barely a category three so it's tinkering with thinking about if you like a super typhoon so far it has dropped a lot of rain as it went across or konar one hundred sixty millimeters but it's been spreading rain bands and in homes seeing what's already ahead of it over the mainland of japan we've had two hundred sixty millimeters or thereabouts on the

south coast ray may well be his legacy even though he's obviously a pretty windy storm so that's where it sits at the moment now it's course you can always defined by the shape of the clouds following the rykiel chain of islands in japanese and it will go across from shoe and then just miss her car into these are the current figures they won't get much stronger maybe a little stronger so it's gusting over two hundred but with it because it's been so slow moving recently he's got wave heights of thirty meters so despite the storm such as a battering waves on the science coast the mainland will be a bit of a problem now that whole of red is the potential for rainfall in the next three days over three hundred millimeters pretty nasty stuff. the weather. sponsored by cats on race. we're. i have dedicated almost my entire professional life

to the bench and fight against corruption and what i have heard is that we need choppiness we need also to shine the light on those shampoos and this award bridges the gap that existed in this. nominate your own version of your own child the light on what they do and to of not shine a light on your hero with your nomination for the international space award two thousand and eighteen for more information go to isa war dot com.

welcome back you're watching around the syria time to recap our headlines now two earthquakes followed by a tsunami devastated the central deduced nylander sulawesi a few hundred people have been killed in the city with a lot of rescue workers still haven't been able to reach many areas wind free to be badly hit donald trump has ordered an f.b.i. investigation into the sexual assault allegations made against his supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh that means a vote by the full senate on his confirmation will be delayed for at least a week. funerals are being held for the seven palestinians including two children who were killed by israeli forces in gaza on friday thousands of people have been rallying along grass' barrier fence with israel as part of protests that began in

march. protesters are gathering in the german city of cologne ahead of a visit by turkey's president roger. it's day two of his first visit to germany since becoming president in two thousand and fourteen out of the one is expected to attend the opening of one of europe's largest mosques in cologne. and german chancellor angela merkel have agreed to work to mend the relationship that's been strained in recent years. to. lin he researches the germany turkey relationship at the german institute for international and security affairs good to have you with us so from your perspective what prompted this visit necessity or was it one of choice. no i think that with it went very well of any given circumstances in which it happened it was clear from the outset that it will not be a very easy visit and i think everything depends on the capability of the one to

understand that the government government in germany is in a high pressure and a very critical society in germany a very engaged to say it if it comes to turkey due to our close relations has the visit succeeded of bringing the two sides closer on some of the funny issues oh there are lot of important issues i think i think the most important result of that is the agreement to held a meeting or four in regard to syria between russia turkey germany france and i think this is one of the most the wellcome. result of the meetings i think it's the first time that the interests of germany and turkey are in a way. in harmony in syria and this is a big step forward what are some of the other issues will germany be willing to take more actions more action against groups that ankara sees or people that ankara

sees as supporters or members of terror groups of kurdish or glenister and so on that's a big question you know with that you know that in turkey a very broad notion of terrorism is applied and actions that fall under the freedom of speech or under the freedom to demonstrate sanction in turkey under the terrorist law and this gap with it's not easy to be to be a bridge between turkey and germany and naturally it was a strange thing for the german audience that. emits deep economic crisis and with the expectation of help from the west is coming with a long list of people who wanted to be extradited or to be handed over to turkey. how about the issue and it comes to. the flow of refugees and migrants to europe how crucial or how critical is turkey's cooperation on that one right now for

angela merkel and how crucial is it for turkey to get as it sees more of the promised funds released to it and some of the e.u. promises to actually be enacted i think to be honest it's more crucial for germany because we thought that the huge migrant inflow has set ups a german political system seriously and then we have now a growing wave of right wing populist or even racist parties and this is of great concern for the conservative parties particularly here in germany but i think it was also a very good outcome of that one for the first time acknowledged that this agreement is also crucial for turkey because turkey cannot be interested to become a country of granted for huge migrant waits because a lot of a lot of refugees who want to transit at the went at the end stay in countries and therefore and that's the same time he needs he needs really the question of the

promised amount of money because he is in dire need two for financing yes all right thanks so much for your thoughts on that one. cutter's foreign minister says a proposed u.s. in middle east security alliance won't be credible because of unresolved regional tension last year egypt saudi arabia the u.a.e. and bahrain and forced the blockade on carter cutting diplomatic economic and political ties but the country's foreign ministers did meet on the sidelines of the un general assembly. reports now from new york. where gathering of gold rivals. this is the first time qatar's foreign minister has come face to face with his counterparts from saudi arabia the u.a.e. and egypt since the four countries imposed

a land sea and air blockade on qatar in july last year. no handshakes no smiles and no news conference at the end of the meeting that lasted almost one hour. two days ago saudi foreign minister. accused qatar of financing extremism adding that his country will be ok even if the crisis goes on for another fifty years but that can wait also but we have to address the challenges in our region first before we talk we talk about just by going like this diplomacy in these communications meaning is engaging and this is why did you feel like you said i was doing was going to ask you a question thank you very much but the war of words between gulf rivals but the united states of america in a difficult position the trump administration is scrambling to put together a regional alliance of countries against iran which she sees as

a growing threat in the middle east during the past few days the u.s. has ramped up its rhetoric describing to her as the world's leading sponsor of terrorism as far as america's concern is a sions dishonest by iran and saudi officials blame iran for destabilizing the whole region and the one dollar a month saudi arabia believes that in order to achieve peace and stability in the middle east what is needed is to deter iran in its subversive policies this is sectarianism and interference in the internal affairs of the region such aggressive conduct constitutes a glaring breach of all international laws and treaties with sergeant crown prince mohammed bin said and will meet on saturday with the i meet of kuwait who is trying to mediate in the gulf crisis but there's no indication of a breakthrough anytime soon. the u.s. wants to address major challenges in the middle east including eisen wars in yemen

syria instability in iraq and what it sees as iran's growing into ones in the region but its chances of building a united front remain slim as long as the g.c.c. quo. this is considers. new york. now major conflicts across the world the being discussed on the sidelines of the un general assembly it's an opportunity for non-governmental organizations to bring a global focus to humanitarian crises but often the discussions highlight the disconnect between those in power and those who are suffering the most mike hanna reports. it's a week in which the noise of protesters has lost to the roar of presidential convoys to word from the united nations across the road this is the closest most world leaders come to the concerts and fears of citizens in manhattan and around the globe. sometimes lost amidst the noise of debate grand statement within the general assembly the suffering taking place in so many regions outside iraq and the

fact that in the past eight years the number of major violent conflicts has tripled . the consequences of this failure in international arbitration tolt most keenly by the fundable the defenseless and in many cases the children the suffering intensifies each year the international committee of the red cross says release statistics about the number of children who annually go missing in conflict in two thousand and thirteen that number was put at nearly six thousand it's increased substantially each general assembly gathering rising to more than fifteen thousand in two thousand and seventy but there is always a gap between the diplomatic discourse on the situation and the situation itself what we see indeed is when we are in the field that we see

a lot of people suffering that we see an enormous amount of this struction and disruption of lives and livelihoods the full extent of the human suffering would be acknowledged part of the political decisions would have would be taken other. than other scale and with another seriousness while some leaders brushed aside global concerns in the name of national self interest to use our there are others that insists these issues special be emplaced and addressed through multilateralism demand. we must redouble our efforts to work as a global community we must rediscover our shared belief in the value rather than the harm of connectedness we must demonstrate that collective international action not only works but is in the best interests of all of us in this clash of philosophies the presence of the prime minister's three month old daughter a little reminder of what's at stake my kind of al-jazeera united nations.

the u.s. says it's going to close its consulates in the iraqi city of basra citing threads from iran secretary of state might compare has blamed iran backed fighters for recent attacks on the consulate which is inside the city's airport compound he says he'll hold iran directly responsible for any harm to americans or its diplomatic facilities. it's been a week since twenty five people were killed in the iranian city of avaaz when gunmen opened fire during an event to commemorate the iran iraq war there are growing concerns in teheran fighters defeated by iranian forces in syria regroup and target them at home. a week after gunmen attacked a parade for veterans from the nineteen eighties iran iraq war one of iran's most powerful men told the country exactly who was to blame from the friday prayer

podium the second in command of iran's revolutionary guard corps took aim at the united states israel and their gulf allies. i'm telling the regime of saudi arabia who are the main perpetrators behind this direction in our country and wish to bring in security into our territories that you will not succeed in your attempts if you cross our red lines we will definitely cross yours. it was a speech designed to fire people up for the government approved public protest that followed the matter who the actual attackers on the ground may have been many iranians are old ready convinced of who is to blame for attacks in their country. the incident was funded by saudi arabia and planned by america with israeli support three of them were involved. america it was done by america the great satan. it was america israel and saudi arabia in the days after the attack the

intelligence ministry said a network of suspect was in custody all signs investigators said pointed to the separatists while one group claimed the attack another denied it. i saw also claimed the attack and released videos of the men they said carried out but iranian leaders have remained vague about the exact identity of the attackers one former revolutionary guard commander says a coordinated conspiracy involving all of iran's enemies is to blame because that through the based on experience in iraq and syria palestine lebanon and yemen we know that there is a war is really officers americans and arab countries and this war room is guiding the attackers different opposition groups are present in this room there is concern in tehran that pointing the finger at any number of outside threats takes focus away from dealing with more immediate ones like violent separatist groups and drug traffickers operating along iran's eastern borders but for now it seems that with

every protest the list of names iranians rail against gets a little longer i saw israel the u.k. saudi arabia and of course the old favorite america. oh i seen bus ravi all jazeera ron. police in barcelona have cracked down on pro independence protesters in the city's downtown area local catalan officers pushed back the group which gathered to demonstrate against another march by spanish police demanding better pay the violence was reportedly triggered when a protester threw paint on a man who was on the police march tensions are high head of one day's anniversary of the independence referendum that was deemed illegal by in madrid. facebook says up to fifty million accounts including that of c.e.o. mark zuckerberg have been affected by a security breach the social media giant says unknown attack israel to take control

of accounts through a vulnerability in the feature known as view as it allows users to see what their profile looks like to others facebook says the security flaws have now been fixed we spoke to jeannie gephardt who is the associate director of research at the electronic frontier foundation she explains how it was possible for hackers to exploit facebook features. but at this point technical details are slim but from what we can understand like you said it revolves around a view as feature which allows folks to see what their profiles going to look like from another person's point of view great for making sure your privacy settings are where you want them to be it was the view as future interacting with a few other parts of facebook interacting with a video uploading feature and interacting with single sign on facebook like and and what happens the way it were kind of counter-intuitively is someone who used to view ads to look at their profile from the point of view of another person that

other person would be become vulnerable so you know we have alice and alice is using the view as future to see what her profile is like to bob and it's bob's account that is exposed and the thing the exact thing that was exposed is a thing called access took and it's so in access token is kind of like a. control on your logon information and keeps you've logged into facebook so an access token is the reason that you don't have to constantly log in every time you go to the app or visit the web site so if these exposed attackers could have prophetically get into your account and do anything that you could do while you're locked in. educators in morocco are asking what language is more important to be taught in schools some say it's classical arabic while others prefer a more local version the mix of languages is also being blamed in part for high dropout rates and now teachers want the government to make an official decision here morgan has more. the academy here has begun in morocco and students in the

capital rabat have returned to school to find words from the moroccan dialect added to their courses the language update is reviving the debate on the status of the main spoken language arabic specifically classic arabic known as first half and the locally spoken arabic known as. the whip. but there is a fee to that is the application of moroccan dialect and teaching at public institutions is a violation to the constitution and a violation of the requirements of the law that puts the process of change and development within the whole educational system such an application will lead to distorting the educational scene and the linguistic scene. moroka commonly speak a language that mixes arabic also known as and foreign languages such as french and spanish arabic is one of the two official languages but for the past fifteen years or so the diary which combines arabic words with local dialects has been increasingly introduced the languages debate is sparking another about the

kingdom's education system morricone schools have a high dropout rate only half of middle school students continue on to high school and less than fifty percent of them graduate the lack of trained teachers and low attendance rates are partly blamed and so is the conflict between derek and classical arabic some say that reflects a confusion in the government's language policy. those who defend the arabic language have to tell us what is the outcome of arab nations since one thousand nine hundred eighty on the other hand what do we want from iraq in dialect in the field of education what is the function of foreign languages what is the function of the language that is now in education. the debates may be old the language even older but it's feared if the government doesn't act more students will drop out without an education morgan al-jazeera. so i had an al-jazeera and
