anyone claiming to be over eighteen a video of someone saw him is not necessarily going to you know thirty forty one if you're marcus or buy cigarettes what you just could disappear like a policy of markets today or not basically because of a few. critical items so large i'm going to respond and consider most of. it's been dissolved or the. videos of people who died do not show what i mean of these we were just marketing threatens the book and still share those like raise awareness for. so it was part of that max policy this far it's this is. a short child abuse others find warm up before. the repeated it can be easier for sloppy overshadowed by adults or an awful lot of very good also the conflicting o'berg we are called

to move the boy although or he calls it rotating or shooting or if it was too young to start by the wrists i goes arms are not. always for one. course. you recognize those images and i for one did you know. what video from they are from. that was sent to us from one of all supporters asking for help with a. sunday i am in boxes on this facebook page without i am asking for help because they saw i thought they'd seen and they were obviously it

was scared they didn't want to call. saw initially see a little tiny boy it was about two or three on the video with a man talking chamish i'm not saying i'm and then he was hit him and punched him it was so i am about on the newest stump and king on am and then i'll be so the video call saul. l.f. if. absolutely no say not paul from a sickening feeling not you've just you've seen some autonomy little boy. i mean you know you start from actually not a day off. not just go to. the noise. you take.

your say home get out your ass. oh you say and that's all you think about is a little why a maybe say in that way we say was happening to him and you're full of idiots that . i am i did. and we received. messages back saying we didn't violate their terms and conditions. this is our. their life wasn't made. no gray area but it is so interesting to the mobster yeah because it's so obvious he's still technically on. our reporter asked another moderate so why he thinks some graphic content gets marked as disturbing rather than deleted then i will be raising is behind gleeful murder using. people all over all the years it's all for them to. go on and. yeah you know it's all for.

the. budgeting and should just be late and like i said. don't assume of censorship them ok if you start censoring through her if you lose interest but it's all good it's ultimately going to hurt. in the first two days after it was posted on facebook the video of the little boy being beaten was shared more than forty four thousand times. on facebook point of view this is essentially . you know the crack cocaine of their of their products right it's the really extreme really dangerous form of content that. attracts the most highly engaged people on the planet for. facebook understood that it was desirable to have people spend more time on site if you're going to have an advertising based business you need them to see the ads see one site what facebook

has learned is the people on the extremes of the really valuable. because one person on either extreme can often provoke fifty or one hundred other people and so they will live as much extreme content as they can get it. we put the results of our investigation to facebook's vice president of global policy. shocking contents does not make us more money is just a misunderstanding of how the system works shocking consensually keeps people on facebook that means it's more likely that they will view advertising that makes you money that's why shocking content is good for facebook again i don't that's not our experience of the people he's also his around the world there is a minority who are prepared to abuse our systems and other internet platforms to share the most offensive kind of material by just don't agree that that is the experience that most people want and that's not the experience we're trying to deliver. there's no thousand as

a couple of photo op means on that page so that with that we have is looking to see if you can find any time gaggle of kevin and. going on for a while with no idea where to go with us and if you ports facebook knockings saw a scene with their three of his just say to try and find out some information on that video and to tell you i say. well boston big dog blue discovered you can go. over there go get it be we drove through the deal but there is nothing all to got to do our policies for life if you're always right your pockets this is the big videos that are not worth i'm not munching on presented before. it's all photos. so you just go for the coalition. for your gold for the world but in order to move.

our investigation found that unless they are streamed live videos of physical child abuse i'm not usually reported to the police. or sold him destination price as a follow up price. and may be. off the mark something in perth and on and on and on child because it will be a story. about dad hearing stuff like. the carpenters are still coming so the racial cards are right or otherwise just far as we're concerned of course research from current. nerds with facebook do anything i would they possibly know unless if you see something where child is going to read by the supers with a large video and subverts to bite you during the law you may have a different card by as i've heard of star trek a video store dangerous story. is not going to be reported by off to the

police i think the reality is someone is going to it's going to be. most united now about how. hello boys we've found out that this was in malaysia that this child. it was stepfather and been arrested and jailed for twelve months. how long ago was it that you first came to most of the year and that was in i think it was december two thousand and twelve. i saw it's being thick yeah it's almost. it's a video still on facebook yeah. this video is used in facebook's training as an example of the kind of child abuse that

should be marked as disturbing and left almost silent. if that's being used as an example for motivators of what is considered acceptable to say what is tolerated on facebook is is is is truly shocking this is very the justification for why they allow. in or that a possible and education and rescue of victims of physical abuse we may not immediately remove this content from facebook it's perfectly possible for facebook to take down footage of child abuse and for that to be passed to the north or for copies of the t.v. or to be retained if that will assist in a law enforcement in a police state investigation it's difficult to conclude why that material would need to stay on the site we know that for as long as that content command on a social media site then that exacerbates the trauma that children might feel not

only has that child been subject to sustained physical abuse but unfortunately that child is being. abused by. the fact that that content is that for anyone to go into facebook and see unfortunately the child being be abused with every click. on facebook and individual shared it i want to be clear that that's not acceptable that shouldn't be that material should have been taken down on the site that you went to the c.p.l. site you see part of the total system so those are the front line reviewers but behind them sits a team of child safety experts facebook full time staff they will make an assessment of whether the child is at risk they will make a decision about what to do with the content including referring it to law enforcement agencies where that's a program. after we made facebook aware of this child abuse it was still available

on the platform they told us they have now reviewed the material used to train new moderators. just this are all. just one car. so they were just saying basically if i said to me i'm a pray show them on this. it's kind of just to go. there's overlap at the very mention of a school for. the pool to raise more drinking a video showing two teenage girls fighting both girls are clearly identifiable and the video has been shared more than a thousand times. one and definitely more i don't want to. face. she has said. that she is how she is. and i.

my friend told me. you don't. i just saw it as a video he tossed she saw the need to say it you say. stop to fight. in the throat and on the flaw. the salt. just costs time on my shots i. just repeat and thought nice and kicks in and the had. and. she just walks out of control bus a question looks like a wild animal to wake up and i stand behind i. the whole world is watching as well a scene at most a bend you know horrifying it was humiliating for. the video has been posted with a caption condemning the violence based on the new policy yeah that is one of the

foremost reporters for a. reviewer even if it's going to mark. everything like everybody condemning it with the use of what you were being brought forward over the wealth. of the whole book. following a recent change to the publishing even experienced moderate says i'm not sure whether the video should be deleted almost as disturbing i'm left on the sites where they go. for the saw anything on a video of this reporter and warners condemning books of its ability. or is this one of the mob this is a matter. of ok. because there's a caption condemning the violence the video gets mugged is disturbing and i'm left alone the signs. from. we showed footage from our undercover filming to the girl's mother.

should really have been a question. boy it's. been a discussion those he said himself to solve. anyway have been. being questioned don't. you see the images and. it's horrible. he's close to it so why was it is why was it the school should why was it discussion with its sad. i don't know at the. you know someone's child. it's not fast spoken. so that's interesting because i i swear if there is like

bullying between two humanity you can just delete or i'm sure there were girls if there were if there were three quarter of three because all of these girls groups for the world to look around for a new kid room but to screw their loved one or daughter off ok. to be on for over three right i say overdue for if there was a caption saying brilliant she had a clearly early ochre order that was not appropriate for from the. know what was option is on the radio or. should have been taken down there all the west spread awareness with a. video we saw one star beamed. but was no emotion all michael what's happened to the not thinking of the bigger picture this is the thinking about the policies if they're watching a video of their own daughter what decision.

if a parent or guardian sees a video of that child in circumstances that they object to they do have the right to insist that we take it down and we do take it down where we're made aware that so you're putting the onus on the victim here to complain to you why aren't you taking this material down before humiliates children and again if the content is shed in a way that praises or encourages that violence is going to come down but where people are highlighting an issue and condemning the issue even if the issue is painful there are a lot of circumstances where people will say to us look facebook you should not interfere with my ability to highlight a problem that's occurred as people watch these videos facebook's making money yet the money we make is by people using the service and seeing ads within the newspaper. when you have forty billion of sales and tens of billions of profit per

year you pretty much have an obligation to do everything in your power to make sure that you're not making the world worse for the users of your product. the consequence of. your usage russia will he serve or not you need to mention that he just doesn't go away. for a living out of his truck for the last couple years. he's homeless. follows a group of u.s. veterans. by war. as they struggle to get their lives back. volcano killer way erupted explosively last thing boiling clouds of steam and ash

there's all your headlines i'll be back with more news here on al-jazeera but first let's get you back to inside facebook. in the lead up to the u.s. midterm elections we'll be talking to the american people looking at key issues for voters from immigration to economic struggles the health care system to racism and women's rights join us through i took two over for special coverage and analysis of the u.s. midterms on al-jazeera brother lee the. brutal dictator. with discontent spreading through north africa time was running out for libya's self-styled king of kings. in the first of a two part series the big picture charts the rise and fall of one of the and the events that helped fuel the violence of his final hour. the lust for libya on al-jazeera.

with filming undercover in one of facebook's largest content moderation senses to reveal how the social network decides what you can see on its platform and ask someone. if they use a finds a piece of content they think is inappropriate they can reduce it to facebook. the moderator will then decide whether almost it breaks the platform's rules. brush or even a little bit of them so their birthright over them go to school. so for us it's pretty good says. each of these reports is called a ticket and the tickets build up in the queues that the moderates is one of three

after three and a half weeks of training all reports and was now working through his own queue of tickets. while we were filming undercover. was cool to fool the u.s. senate and accused of not doing enough to protect facebook's uses we want to hear more without delay about what facebook and other companies plan to do to take greater responsibility for what happens on their platforms. it's not enough to just build tools we need to make sure that they're used for good or in the last year we've basically doubled the number of people doing security and content review we're going to have more than twenty thousand people working on security and content review by the end of this year. recently there's been a huge boom to spoil you could swiftly reported or we would close the book. or do that fifty those reports to be if you don't try to do maybe you continue to do is sit through those and she does move quicker to rid of them such as more people with. facebook aims to assess all reported contents within twenty four hours

but it's become clear that there is a backlog of fifteen thousand tickets that have been waiting longer than last year i just want to say that the current for the active fire within our community. it's really recognized not just that it is you have more on the higher level in the mountains in the case but i know the last couple of weeks have been really harsh the backlog is crazy i feel this understaffed and the three years. longer and those are. fifty seven hours was like over six hundred sixty looks like it's not one part ok so our latest five is eighteen hours and forty five that's very good because our turnaround time for this queue is twenty four hours. so that means we have to get everything done with twenty four hours. or so within the high risk area but there be anything that i.

say someone saying i'm going to crisis in ten minutes. i would yes. any reports that related to somebody at risk of suicide would not have gone into the q. where there was a backlog they would have gone into a high priority queue where we were meeting the standards we've checked since you brought this issue to us and we're very confident that even in that period where we had a backlog in the normal cute we did not have a backlog in the suicide q so the c.p.l. moderation was rolled there were all these instances yes right ok facebook told us this backlog was cleared by the sixth of april and they are doubling the number of people working on safety and security. basis here is really for them because they have we are not. like we are far from we very fast these five weighed more than many of us.

undercover reporter is being trained in how to deal with content relating to self home. so some examples all have three sides have. any material promoting self harm or suicide gets deleted in the first one we have four of them caught they don't really look right or i feel i'm ok let me say wait so very serious i mean maybe right. so these are. i believe. any material that shows self harm but doesn't promote says is called self harm admission and gets left almost without a warning so. we are going to send a check for you if you go for more masonic resources like you are in the spirit.

with home admission the user who posted the contents of the sensor message called a checkpoint containing information about mental health support services. for me in some respects like resources to help. people get over. i think that probably around sixty five percent of my scars tribute to the impact social media has had on me. there's definitely a bit of a rush of adrenaline. amazing in the blood was a release because it reminded me that there was something inside of me and that i wasn't. one of these fine. totally fine so your recent checkpoint. were.

somebody that i met who had facebook she used to regularly post pictures of herself home before they were healed and before there was a scar and i would look at her picture as and then there was also a group that i used to follow on facebook. it meant that i was surrounded myself with people that were self harm and it would encourage me to cut a lot more it became a bit of a competition and that after all i needed to duty cards and that i needed to have with self harm. the other person. for the. birthday so for. once to moderating our reporter comes across graphic images of self. over the third point mugu for those goods

or look good i will read it over the sofa for good news but it was. for promotion. first most immoral. but suppose it was. it's not a private you can see the people of a badly cut themselves as old scars there so this isn't just a one off and they're cutting themselves that's not appropriate that's not ok misery loves company so if you can get out there and you can actually see people doing the thing that kind of is a representation of their misery there might be something. attractive in that and no track team to add mind that isn't functioning how it should be. or more your.

thoughts your looks are the most ludicrous of the hour nothing is working or due to what was going to school to school work or they were or were. praying for a year older and you're. using. every justification for all. your images of yourself it's not really. you know there are healthier ways of doing that it's not that we don't want to listen to them it's not that we don't want to help them in the long run it's not a healthy thing to do you know this needs this level of of harm needs proper professional intervention and putting stuff out on social media is not professional intervention. or the board. or through school barrow and. forcing

it to. using the drugs. or the mother or. i just think it's something that's going to be hard for other people to sound who haven't experienced this i think that self harm is something that's so complex that . it can't be characterized in a guideline or in a room and it can't be understood by somebody who doesn't understand how it feels to do that would you rather look at. images of cellphone and facebook. now oh no not at all i'm strong enough for it not to affect me but i'm not strong enough to take the rest of it i believe that it wouldn't affect me completely believe that

but i'm not prepared to take a chance. there's actually a very strong valid interest from that person if they're expressing distress to be able to express their distress to their family and friends through facebook and then get help and we see that happen every day that individuals are provided with help by their family and friends because the content stayed up if we took it down the family and friends would not know that that individual was at risk. i see the big for music oh boy are the feet so if you're through are both so dirty . it's like they're going to be pretty good we will do jewing the training session on self home the issue of child uses comes up so we don't actually own a car or was there a meeting you know great facebook's rules state that no one on the thirteen can

have an account you have over the lot but i think this is the way to know this but yes so is the airline we ignore ok i will if you go see where the cover. gets. so poker books so you throw them somewhere in this hole that we both know her . yet let people have what. i think that the first three hundred don't we just like it and i were going we don't know what the underage. facebook told us they only investigates a user's age if someone has reported them as being under age. much of the content reported to facebook's u.k. moderates as relates to hate speech so i'm sure they're playing. out right now to pay for that we all have total respect for the robot what our personal

opinions are. for movies when mark zuckerberg appeared before the u.s. senate he was questioned on facebook's hate speech means our goal is to allow people to have as much expression as possible and i don't want anyone at our company to make any decisions based on the the political ideology of the content facebook say their rules are intended to protect certain groups from being abused or attacked on the platform or through. there are more of them with her who are or were. but we found moderators were sometimes told to ignore disturbing content before. we voted for of course you're going to run for more water. than ignore chords for the last through your correlation you know for hoops to go

for group north korean border for use force more golden rule the two true thought was your form to be called in service. so for this one we should say is the root of all the world over her. facebook told us the picture does in fact violate the hate speech rules and they're reviewing what went wrong to prevent it happening again in order to create a service where everyone has a voice we also need to make sure that people aren't bullied or or basically intimidated or the environment feels unsafe for them but some facebook not everyone gets the same level of protection i kind of instinctively think today but there is a delay. a reporter is moderating a comb and says back to your own countries. it's been posted anything video with

a caption the film to muslims in the winds. that ought to be there. but you're going to treat zero zero zero zero immigrants muslim immigrants if you do that most of them you take the suction but it doesn't so as a proxy for. facebook i'm miles uses to say more abusive things about muslim immigrants than it does about muslims. they are still muslim or even i say it is muslim immigrants system muslims this is was an example there are. still hurts. you know exactly what makes someone retarded it's you. who for three. of. your two thirds of their thinking were. physical inferiority. like most women a good school for. people are debating very sensitive issues on facebook including

issues like immigration very currently and that political debate can be entirely legitimate that's why you allow people to say muslim immigrants get out of britain but not muslim get us britain we're trying to distinguish that between hate speech which is against a class of peace you don't think muslim immigrant get out of britain is hate speech you get there this is something that we've looked at in a lot of detail these very hot it this is right on that line is a hate speech right on that line we've not defined it as hate speech if you are again expressing a view about the government's immigration policy. we discovered that some far right pages receive special protection on facebook. veri sign will think this casting by saying that they write the british children. the britain first facebook page had more than two million followers when it was deleted in march while we were filming after its leaders were convicted of racially aggravated harassment. earlier taken

down. the wrong group were your. form more local we've been tracking that page since it had three hundred thousand followers it ended up with up to two million followers at one point before that page was polled the question can be else why did it take so long. for the british stuff it was pretty much work to do so much for the phone to. record for lucian's with very little. look forwards to her. of book face book if a page has five pieces of content that violate facebook's rules our reporter was told it should be taken down britain first was a highly popular facebook page these pages a shielded and can't be deleted by ordinary content moderators at c.p.l. . it was never met a threshold before it was taken down. oh i think. it is just up to me from the

feel good. to me. what is actually me. but when he said i shared it it goes to another if you have to use the image. to sometimes. you know just depends on what it is very fits very well. but. when shielded pages have contents that breaks the rules they're put into the shielded review queue so they can be assessed by facebook itself what does shooter of you actually main jury. will be doing computer from her go through the four pages are a lot of followers you don't want the reader you just. want people to sure they're together for reuse or show up for her for fear of argument or for them feel called to order first because her yeah look like other prefer stuff you're talking about if it is a large page sure do they get so special consideration or does her. facebook

special consideration appears to also apply to follow right figureheads only robinson about children being killed that being killed if they're not being bright destroyed in books now well from there being but shouldn't i mind and see said there's now so i could soaps that's the future project of isis in march this year robinson was permanently banned from twitter but his facebook page is still active this may he was jailed for contempt of course following a facebook live video he posted outside a course in leeds. you know if one of these places becomes a target of some logs is there any point made looking for you to come to. you. to go. to their supposed those bridges and use it the way you do. you have to the top of the video just goes through this shield. of fog there.

with nine hundred thousand followers robinson's facebook page is so popular it's been given the same protected status as governments and news organizations when they say freedom of speech what they're really saying is we really want to permit people to do whatever they want in this platform and we will do the bare minimum to make that socially acceptable their business model is really tied to being able to publish whatever they want and it once you understand that the nature of large internet networks is that the harshest minas voices are going to dominate what you realize that the more open you make the platform inherently the more unpleasant inappropriate bad content you're going to get on. what you just told me robinson get a shielded account the same as the government of the b.b.c.

high profile organizations that are respected if the content is indeed violating it will go to the very valuable accounts these all but you've got hundreds of thousands of followers again i want to be clear this is not a discussion about money this is a discussion about political speech and i think people would expect us to be careful and cautious before we take down that political speech. we didn't come in. and day to misuse that's not so i can go. which is why facebook has changed from facebook has launched a high profile campaign to improve its image. we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a big mistake and it was my mistake and i'm sorry. i started facebook i run it and i'm responsible for what happens here i understand why it's been hard for people to come to grips with all this but the incentives to do so now are really compelling and i just hope that as

a consequence of this film that the tone of the debate becomes sharper more focused more persistent and that we stop accepting their excuses we stop accepting vera surance says c.p.l. told is ensuring all trainers and employees are always fully trained and up to date on facebook pulis changes is critically important to us so we are investigating this matter as a priority and taking immediate steps with facebook this is included conducting extensive refresher training within the last week for all the train is where one of the most heavily scrutinized companies in the world and that's right we have a lot of reach to people in many different countries it's right that we held high standards we also hold ourselves to high standards you've identified some areas where we failed and i'm here today to apologize for those failings and make it clear that we do recognize that they were witnesses that we should not be in this

position all i can say is that we are committed wherever failings of brought to our attention to taking them seriously to addressing them and trying to make sure that we do better in future. what makes this moment we're living so unique. we haven't seen a president this unpredictable freedom of speech is alan motley constant that is a perfect formula for authoritarianism and here nearly in the lights are on and there's nowhere to hide let me ask you straight out here is the two state solution

now up front retire on al-jazeera. and lives in fear constantly looking over his shoulder she says she was threatened by armed men as they ransacked a home she knows who ordered the attack and why they want to develop on the communities land as usual we can't let the men to imitate us we need to continue they can kill me i'm not afraid of being killed i need to defend my people who have been here since fifteen sixty nine without any help from the government and now they want to destroy the forest that is part of our land ownership in brazil is among the most concentrated and unequal in the world those who ordered the intimidation the murders are rarely brought to justice. from long flowing on in winds to an enchanting desert breeze. howlers a spring showers are developing once again but not so much in or not so often in

europe more often in brazil is a good spread now the development in the next day or so will probably be drifting into south brazilian clued in rio alarmed you can take up possibly touching bolivia and then up through peru ecuador towards the north of the continent. this is to be expected this time the year also to be expected somewhere where they are it is easier the line of rain that goes around the world is persistently raining in the moment it is a line that takes you from honduras down towards salvador but if these two places solved all of the nicaragua have produced or recorded over a hundred millimeters of rain there if you persist this rain a string carries over the next two days which it will because the circulation north and science of this these two countries is and the potential for mudslides landslides is increased greatly so that's where the watches weather is in central america in north america it's more a question of actually a change of seasons if you want to have a satellite picture develops there's

a line through here which shows the true difference tween the warm weather the south of the much code where the further north of course in the code is where you'll find snow particularly the moment in canada. the weather sponsored by cats are always. in nigeria live you see be too hot or to use an africa boy is one of the least rights i do not see in all and indeed the junk that is followed in nigeria lead from. my nigeria is sucked up by nigeria is your development manager rakesh x.m.a.s. this is my nigerian. my my gear on al-jazeera. when they're on line for humanitarian thinking now there's goals of this when told

you about. almost french or if you join us on the sand i guarantee no one else has a back story like yours this is a dialogue i'm just tired of seeing negative stereotypes about native americans everyone has a voice resurfacing that's your comments your questions i'll do my best to bring them into the show join the global conversation on how to zero. zero. this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. more than a week after the devastating internees an earthquake and tsunami hope for survivors

. present trouble supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh looks set to be confirmed by the u.s. senate. mystery surrounds the disappearance of interpol one hallway in china. and on paul race with the sport as lewis hamilton clinch is an eighteenth pole position out of the japanese grand prix but it's another bad day for ferrari the best of the action coming up this hour. we begin this news hour in indonesia where the government is considering calling off the search for victims of the earthquake and tsunami a week ago and turning some areas into mass graves heavy machinery can't move in areas affected on the island by liquefaction the risk of sinking into the mud and doctors are issuing new warnings about the threat of disease as more bodies are

found in the rubble and total number of dead has risen to one thousand six hundred and fifty when he reports from village a suburb of palau city. there is no doubt that that is going to go quite a bit higher largely because of the scene in just down the road behind this military checkpoint the entire community there has dropped several meters beneath where it used to be a very similar scene right next door in a neighboring village called between them it's thought there are now around a thousand people still missing inside there and right now the discussion amongst the government community and religious leaders here is that there is a possibility they might make a call that it seems impossible to think that they could be survivors still in there because the mud the water is so intense in there and there is a search operation going on we saw three excavators in there early on saturday

going through a very small area but they are digging very very deep they are pulling out. other pieces of machinery sections of buildings so even when they do find a body. it is extremely difficult for them to get out so it's slow going and again there is the possibility of the. red cross red crescent and he says medical teams campaigns to try to stop from spreading we've had some cases of diarrhea report it from our medical team. problem we're at a time so providing basic medical therapy to affected populations we're also doing campaigns on health and sanitation bringing you know awareness among the the affected population on what to do and what not to do indeed so that you know there

rescuers here tell us they don't even know where to start digging they fear half of the population here is dead those who survived say they need eight quite desperately. i cried i'm very sad because of the disaster that happened to us where will we go now how will we get over this. kids can't go to school their schools collapsed because of the earthquake their teachers have also left and are displaced this is the first time the people here are receiving aid more than a week since the disaster struck there are about two thousand people here this place coming from at least five villages we've spoken to some of them who say the desperately need food shelter and medicine they've come to accept that they won't be able to return to their homes any time soon that their children are unable to go to school and they have lost everything that they've worked hard for their livelihood their jobs their farm their cattle he said this is

a disaster that is quite unimaginable but they need help and they need it fast. the news now and u.s. president donald trump's pick from supreme court brett kavanaugh has narrative a procedural vote in the senate a final vote is on his confirmation is expected in the coming. is a live picture from washington d.c. where senators have been voicing final testimonies for and against kavanagh's approval supreme court looks all but confirmed he won the backing of. despite an f.b.i. investigation into allegations. from washington d.c. . the motion is agreed to the u.s. senate is now taking what should be the final step needed to approve brett kavanaugh for the u.s. supreme court thirty hours of debate and a vote the process has been delayed for nearly three weeks due to allegations of sexual assault a special senate hearing to review the allegations and

a one week delay so the f.b.i. could investigate thank you. senator jeff flake a swing vote was pressured by sexual assault victims in to calling for the delay and yet despite protests out of his office and a review of the f.b.i. support says he will vote yes on capitol. hill something big change. what would that. but anyway i'm glad we had a better process cavanaugh was already a contentious choice because of his conservative views on abortion gun laws and presidential powers but in mid september it was revealed christian blogs and ford had accused him of trying to rape her when they were teenagers i've never sexually assaulted dr ford or anyone or as capitol tried to clear his name his testimony before the senate judiciary committee raised new concerns was he too hot headed to be one of the united states' top judges possibly for decades even the former u.s.

supreme court justice john paul stevens called kavanaugh unfit for the post to the supporters called this criticism slander and insist kavanaugh should be approved judge kavanaugh was publicly accused of a crime and his reputation and livelihood were at stake so it was only fair that his accuser have the burden to prove the consensus is that the burden was not met republican lisa murkowski said on friday she would not vote and kavanagh's favor but two other so-called swing senators signed off in support of the nominee moving capitals confirmation that much closer to the finish line i did deal with the facts i had and from the way i will take him firm judge cabinet. the u.s. president donald trump has chaired the u.s. senate's decision to hold its final debate and vote but the outcome won't be known

until all of the senators have actually cast their ballots and not a second before rosalind jordan al-jazeera capitol hill. mike hanna joins us now live from capitol hill in washington d.c. and mike we've been seeing the senate in session all night long with senate says still causing laning fagan at the podium explain to us what's happening. yes well essentially what happened ten thirty yesterday morning was when the senate voted for cloture what that means is that there is an additional thirty hours a maximum of thirty hours for debate now this measure was introduced for supreme court nomination back in april last year it was possible up until that point that members of the senate who are opposed to the nomination could carry on talking for hours days weeks called a filibuster but the method of cloture for a supremes court justice has changed all of that so from ten thirty for thirty

hours this debate can continue but at the thirty hour within that thirty hour period which is four thirty this afternoon the vote has to take place now all indications are is that their vote is going to pass it looks like it would be a fifty one to forty nine vote which was similar to the vote that was cast on the cloture ok so it looks like the vote will pass and then what happens. well what happens then is that the supreme court goes up to full nine justices brit cavanagh takes a seat immediately on the supreme court so that goes ahead there are no measures in effect that could prevent this from happening once the senate has taken its decision however and however there has been moves already among democrats in the house to take measures should the democrats win the term elections largely

and get a majority in the house of representatives already you've got the democratic leader within the house of representatives or one who may well leave the traditional committee should the democrats get a majority saying that he will launch an immediate investigation into justice kavanagh so this affair does not end with the vote coming up what it does do is create massive attention on those midterm elections that take place at the beginning of november because should the democrats get a majority in the house of representatives should it get a majority in the senate you are likely to see this issue being revisited ok and we're seeing it being revisited on the streets as well aren't we i mean protestors have already been coming out think and fast i mean that's not going to go any go anywhere since this vote passed in a few hours from now. indeed your sense being the most divisive issue of

the trump administration this whole hearing remembering as well that president trump got through a nother supreme court judge neal gore search earlier so this will be the second of trump's picks for the supreme court which would significantly alter the nature of that supreme court certainly its political allegiance regardless of the fact that justices say they have no political bias we heard in breath kavanagh's a statement to the senate earlier that yes there is some political bias very clearly in this particular judge but one must also look as well for some sign of nonpartisanship within the senate and this is only one of that we have seen a republican senator break ground she will be voting she says she will oppose the nomination at least some of mccuskey however she says as well that she will not record a no vote when it happens she will record a prison for the reason for this is.
