just do something today because throughout this year we have not made much progress the catalan government has not done much and we are determined for castle and republic and i know. it's already been a year since october the first we voted then regardless of all the obstacles imposed by a fascist oppressive government that did nothing but assault innocent people who went only with the ballot paper in hand. the white house has ordered the f.b.i. to expand its investigation into sexual assault allegations against u.s. supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh president donald trump had been accused of trying to restrict the inquiry on friday the senate judiciary committee not only averted to advance cabin his confirmation to the next stage trump says the f.b.i. should talk to whoever they need to providing it's finished by this friday but i think the f.b.i. should interview anybody that they want within reason but you have to say within reason they should interview but they should also be guided and i'm being guided by
8:01 am
what the senators are looking for russia have a chance he joins us live now from washington d.c. sharp so let's talk us through the day's developments and what this all means. well there have been some outrage when it. transpired that the f.b.i. was only going to interview four witnesses out of that we clone kavanaugh investigation of those three people who were present at the party where cavanagh is alleged to have a soul to a woman and eight second accuser of kavanagh's who says cavanaugh exposed himself to her at a party it seems over the weekend that donald trump told his white house counsel to inform the f.b.i. that they could interview whoever they wanted and on monday trump said he was quite happy for the f.b.i. to interview cavanagh himself or even the third woman who is accused. of of being present at parties where the gang rape of girls would take place but there are so
8:02 am
many other questions now because now we're screwed as well who are the f.b.i. who is the f.b.i. going to be interviewing because of various questions of that have emerged about kavanagh's testimony to congress last week whether he was telling the truth a former yo schoolmate of his says calvin i was not telling the truth when he was describing his drinking the schoolmate says kavanagh would often get blackout drunk and just in the last few hours new information is emerging but kavanagh was aware of the charges against him from romero's from deborah mirror as you said he exposed himself to before he learned about that in the new york he told the committee last week that he only learned about these allegations when it was published in the new one they were published in the new york and there's no evidence suggesting that he was aware of it before so there are all these questions swirling as to whether he was perjuring himself in front of the senate committee last week so now we have to scrutinize who the f.b.i. does interview this week and what the sort of scope of the investigation is mitch mcconnell the senate majority leader meanwhile saying he's determined to have
8:03 am
a vote on cavanagh's nomination in the senate this week no matter what so that doesn't give the f.b.i. much time to conclude their investigation all right she had been in washington d.c. job thank you. now the deadline has passed for palestinians in a village to destroy their homes boy israeli forces move in bedouins in harlem are ordered to pack up and leave by midnight on monday israel wants to demolish the village in the occupied west bank to make way for more illegal jewish settlements amnesty international says it's a war crime to forcibly remove them are a force that has more from harlem. well he has seen many deadlines come and go in the past it has managed to cling on to his existence by various legal challenges in the past but those legal options have now all been exhausted and this latest deadline by which the israeli army had given the residents of this village until the end of october the first to demolish their own structures has now passed so it does now appear to be just
8:04 am
a matter of time until israeli forces come in that is certainly the message that we're getting from villages here themselves we spoke to one family and the the grandfather of that family saying that this time it did seem different the grandmother saying it was incredibly difficult having to put her grandchildren to bed and having them come to her asking her is tomorrow going to be the day that the israeli forces come and from now on any morning could be that morning when they do come in and start to take this village apart why it is so important both to the israeli side and the palestinian side is largely about territory this doesn't lie within the settlement plans known as each one plans that area for extended illegal settlement building that that is still in the works but it does live very close to those borders and there are other bedouin villages other bedouin communities in this area as well and so this is seen as potentially the first of a domino effect if it does go allowing israel more easily to extend the settlements
8:05 am
around the eastern part of jerusalem at which would bring jerusalem even more with illegal settlements and also potentially cut the northern part of the west bank off from the southern parts of palestinian say that this is very important because it could really define what happens to the potential of a future palestinian state now though it does seem just a matter of time until israeli forces move in. the health ministry in gaza says israeli gunfire has wounded thirty seven palestinians at a beach protest thousands of palestinians gathered near the land and sea front here with israel to demand their right to return fishman raised palestinian flags to protest against the blockade of gaza and call for israel to end fishing restrictions. well iran has hit positions in syria linked to a group suspects was behind last week's attack on a military parade in the city of drones and missiles targeted the region of eastern
8:06 am
syria. from. you know pre-dawn attack six mid range iranian missiles cleared iraqi airspace to hit a target in eastern syria nearly six hundred kilometers away. seven unmanned drones then dropped bombs on the same target iran's revolutionary guard said it was retaliation against those responsible for last week's attack at a military parade. in western iraq gunmen killed at least twenty five people many of them members of the guard the response to the show of such military force it suggested there was a clear target but iran's leaders remain vague about the exact identity of the attackers. if there was supposed to be a public message the i.r.g.c. would have said so in their statement but as it is anywhere in the world any measures taken by a military or politician carry some messages may be obvious messages of iran's
8:07 am
decisive will to conduct a permanent and serious fight against centers that produce train and equip terrorism at different levels what the i.r.g.c. forces did early this morning was this will in one statement attributed to iran's revolutionary guard the target is said to have been an i sold base which it says has u.s. backing. state t.v. showed a message painted on one of the missiles death to america israel and saudi arabia there is little doubt who leaders in tehran really planned but whether there is some covert american action against iran or not the missile strike was as much about political theater as it was about a military response. that this a cure it. is our red line and we won't compromise on this issue. we took tough revenge against american and arab backed terrorist groups they used bullets we responded with missiles and leaders into iran say it's only the beginning it
8:08 am
could have gone differently iran could have conducted a ground campaign in tandem with syrian allies but flying its own missiles through iraqi air space to hit a target inside syria by itself is about sending a message to everyone with a military presence there think twice before threatening iran. iran. lebanon's government has taken diplomats and journalists on a tour of beirut to disprove israeli claims of hezbollah bases israeli prime minister told the un general assembly that the armed group has hidden missile sites near the international airport but lebanon says that these are false allegations to justify an attack so how to reports from beirut. lebanon is on a diplomatic offensive its foreign ministers. invited ambassadors and the media to tour sites that israel says are hiding has missile production facilities there within an area controlled by the iranian backed lebanese armed group in beirut's southern suburbs among them the a head football stadium but
8:09 am
a political ally of hezbollah is accusing israel of lies to justify an attack against lebanon on this group that there are many statements made affirming the four session of accurate as well however this does not mean that those missiles present the vicinity of beirut airport. israel's military says the facilities used to convert regular missiles into more accurate guided ones are still not operational but under construction with iranian supervision. israel is accusing hezbollah of knowingly jeopardizing the lives of civilians and using them as human shields the three alleged missile sites are located in densely populated areas close to the airport there was no immediate reaction from ambassadors of western countries but russia's envoy is calling for
8:10 am
calm. we want to prevent war that's why we are deploying new weapons to syria there should be no escalation. russia's decision to deploy s. three hundred anti-aircraft missiles follows the downing of its plane last month over syria moscow is blaming israel for the incident. russia is sending us three hundred netanyahu is telling hezbollah this doesn't mean you can operate freely and we will continue to argue against your activities. over the years russia gave israel room to act in syria it carried out hundreds of strikes targeting alleged iranian bases and suspected iranian arms shipments for hezbollah the lebanese group however says the israeli strikes have been effective. i tell israel no matter what you did to cut the route it is over it has already been achieved we now have position and not position weapons and all the
8:11 am
capabilities to arm. lebanon says the tour is about assuring the international community that israel's allegations are false it is not about refuting what hezbollah and its allies believe is its a right to arms. macedonia's prime minister plans to press ahead with the parliamentary vote on changing his country's name to the republic of north macedonia despite sunday's referendum on the issue failing to get enough votes to pass the government hopes that the long running dispute with greece which. prime ministers. next few days there will be try for the changes here in the parliament. to support from. changes to be successful let me remind that must.

8:13 am
will of the majority when the threshold was not reached thirty six point nine percent turnout is not the will of the people instead it's the sixty three point one percent of the citizen that it all votes we have no disputes to macedonia's places in the e.u. and nato we should join them with dignity without pressure blackmail and double standards the u.k.'s minister for braggs it says his government is preparing for a no deal divorce from europe is fast running out for the u.k. to avoid crashing out of the european union neither wing of the party shows any appetite for compromise lawrence lee has been listening to their arguments. we're told the points of breck's is to make britain grace again restore some rule britannia and victorian global significance first top then the people who say the only way is to jettison entirely the european projects they talk of swashbuckling trade agreements with mexico in china we know there were eighty nine people at
8:14 am
their meeting because they voted eighty eight to one to reject the government's plan the british people who voted to leave wanted to have a confident vibrant britain back they knew what leaving new york in union meant and they were relying upon m.p.'s to come back and deliver that deal for them and they haven't done of course they haven't because many of them remain as many of them just didn't have the spirit and will to negotiate strongly with the european union up the road the other wing of the party these people traitors to the end see europe brigade are fighting tooth and nail to hold a new referendum on whatever ends up happening the numbers are growing and no they do not think they're subverting democracy. i believe strongly that we need to seek the informed consent of the people before we proceed with threats i've just come from a meeting where there was an expert there talking about. access to free trade policy food standards i don't remember that being discussed in any detail in the
8:15 am
referendum twenty sixty and i think if the british public aware of the implications of what we are doing i think they they they may consider. throughout all this the government continues to say it is confidence of its plan its. citizens. it's now been rejected by cope with as of its own party the european union and a vast majority of voters surely cannot last off as conference and on wednesday it will be exactly two weeks until the european union minister decide if it has any kind of offer from the british that it can go with. it isn't even clear if a big government in this country then lets alone a coherent plan when the referendum happens believe slogan was about taking back control you couldn't possibly make it up these people are tasked with determining the future of the u.k. the rights of millions of british and european citizens britons place in the world

8:24 am
a done deal they make a show of democracy for the people but the will of iraqis was taken from us years ago and the formation of the parliament is a big lie for the last fifteen years there's been an unofficial agreement that the presidential candidate comes from the patchy arctic union of kurdistan party or p u k but there's now a rift between the p u k and the kurdish k d p party the k d p says the candidate should come from them and that's meant more delay after the fall of saddam hussein in two thousand and three iraq adopted a british parliamentary style of government the idea was to avoid having all the power in the country concentrated in the hands of one individual but the parliament is made up of a wide variety of different political groups and that makes it very difficult to get agreement on just about anything as part of the unofficial power sharing agreement the speaker of parliament is a sunni and the prime minister is
