food retailer pret a manger is strongly criticised after a teenager died after eating one of their sandwiches. in gratz centre addressing the remaining members on that committee, some democrats have already walked out, we are expecting a vote to take place in about half an hour's time to push this through, to a full vote in the senate itself on tuesday. let's carry on listening in. as a judge on the dc circuitjudge kavanaugh judge on the dc circuitjudge kava naugh ruled there judge on the dc circuitjudge kavanaugh ruled there are in fact meaningful, he wrote, quote, law—enforcement agencies use polygraph to test their credibility of witnesses and criminal defendants refusing to take a polygraph, judge kavanaugh refusing to take a polygraph, judge kava naugh has failed refusing to take a polygraph, judge kavanaugh has failed that test. judge kavanaugh claimed all four

witnesses identified as being present at the party have said that the sexual assault court, did not happen. only one person has said the sexual assault didn't happen. judge kavanaugh. the sexual assault didn't happen. judge kava naugh. the other three pa rtygoers kava naugh. the other three partygoers identified said they do not remember the incident, that's a big difference. do not recall is a different statement than it did not happen. and the other women dr ford named who was there has since publicly stated that she believes dr ford's account. judge kavanaugh try to give himself an alibi, make it sound like he did not drink on week nights. his own high school calendar which he provided the committee as evidence contradicts that statement. during a hearing in an exchange with my colleaguejudge

during a hearing in an exchange with my colleague judge kavanaugh admitted one of the entries on his calendar from thursday signified he went to a friends house to drink. he said repeatedly that he never in his life drank so much that he could not remember. numerous people who spent considerable time with him during the hearing in high school, during his high school, college and law school years confirmed he frequently drank to excess and sometimes became belligerent. finallyjudge kavanaugh claimed he always treated women with dignity and respect, his words. yet he and his high school friends named one of my constituents in their yearbook pages saying they wear her alan mannus, reducing her to a

sexual conquest. that is no way to treat women with dignity and respect, in fact she had he stayed to the pain it caused her. richard bowman the senator for connecticut addressing the senate judiciary committee, just one more senator by my reckoning to speak and then we think a vote will take place, some democratic senators have already left, not wanting to take part in this process, infuriated in fact that this vote will take place without an fbi investigation. let's go to gary o'donoghue who has been watching this for us from washington. gary, regardless of what happens, if he does get through one wonders how anyone could survive this process and end up as a supreme courtjudge. you might think

this process and end up as a supreme court judge. you might think that but don't forget you have a lifetime to recover from it but don't forget you have a lifetime to recoverfrom it in but don't forget you have a lifetime to recover from it in that sense, a lifetime appointment. the whole process clarence tom ince went through, 27 years ago, he stayed on the court and it was a bruising process then. i don't think necessarily he will be hampered if he is confirmed, you can impeach supreme courtjudges he is confirmed, you can impeach supreme court judges but he is confirmed, you can impeach supreme courtjudges but that will not happen either. i think the next few days are the crucial days and of course the committee votes in about half an hour course the committee votes in about halfan hourand course the committee votes in about half an hour and it will go to the full senate at the weekend, probably early next week. we are looking at two keira public and is, susan collins from maine and lisa murkowski from alaska and it is a question of which way they go. if they flip, he is finished. he will lose the vote. everyone is looking

to them for some sort of decision because they hold, they hold his future in their hands. and motion by richard blumenthal to subpoena mark judge, this man who was a friend of brett kava naugh who judge, this man who was a friend of brett kavanaugh who was indicated in these parties and i think with other women as well, was voted down. the fbi investigation, could that be resurrected and if so by who? fbi investigation, could that be resurrected and if so by wh07m could resurrected and if so by who?m could be ordered by the white house, the president could direct the fbi to ta ke the president could direct the fbi to take a look at this, potentially even the republican majority on the committee could do that in cahoots with the republicans on the committee but there is no sign they are willing to do that. they say the vetting process has gone through in the normal way, and fbi investigation could not establish anything more than they have been able to establish in the committee

themselves and you are right, mark judge, the man who christine blasey ford says was in the room at the time, they have not called on him but he's provided two written sworn state m e nts but he's provided two written sworn statements to the committee, one of them written out by the committee, he said he was a recovering alcoholic and he did not want to speak but he has no recollection of the accusations christine blasey ford made. it's now a done deal and it now moves to the full senate but it now moves to the full senate but it will leave a huge partisan, bad taste in the mouth afterwards. too much larger degree than we have seen in recent time and it's been bad in recent times, this is really bad. in recent time and it's been bad in recent times, this is really badm comes recent times, this is really badm co m es after

recent times, this is really badm comes after the #metoo movement as well, how polarising has this been? i think to categorise all women as being in that camp where they think this is a betrayal of them is too simplistic but undoubtedly some people see this as a bit of a betrayal of the whole #metoo movement and atmosphere, not taking women's accusations seriously, not treating them properly as part of the process. but you also hear from women who say, because women have husbands, sons and brothers who feel in some cases this is treating people that might be their relatives particularly, it's a very complicated dynamic to unpack but it's definitely the case that it's not about the politics of washington or what goes on in the vote is pretty imminent isn't

it? explain to viewers who are joining us now what the process is from now and the timeframe as well? it's all pretty low—tech, when the che gavels the session back after the break he will propose the confirmation, there will be a motion and what the clerk of the committee does is they call out the names of each individual senator and they say yes or no in favour. and at the end of the clerk counts the yes‘s and the no's, there are 11 republicans and ten democrats. we will see if

any of those who walked out earlier may come back in for the vote its self, they know, jeff flake, the republican on the committee indicating they will vote for the confirmation, the republicans know they have got the vote to get it out, in theory you could be defeated asa out, in theory you could be defeated as a nominee and still go to a vote on the floor of the senate, that is possible but it does not look like brett kava naugh will possible but it does not look like brett kavanaugh will have two face that ignominious situation, it looks like he will get a partisan vote straight down the middle, ii—io, which ever number of democrats decide to show up. a short break at thejudiciary decide to show up. a short break at the judiciary committee, we decide to show up. a short break at thejudiciary committee, we will be back there as soon as that resumes. in the meantime let's speak to angela rose, the founder of paves whojoins us from angela rose, the founder of paves who joins us from chicago, angela rose, the founder of paves whojoins us from chicago, how important is this hearing been for

raising the issue of assault against women and harassment of women across all american society? i think it's extremely important and what this shows is what happens in courtrooms across america every single day, the disbelief and disrespect to survivors, we know sexual assault is the most underreported crime and this shows why. the fact that women who had been sexually abused as a child, had been in therapy, has come forward to do something and speak publicly, is that, is that very unusual do you think and is this the sort of development of a campaign which has been borne out of the #metoo movement? we see that a lot, there are so many #metoo movement? we see that a lot, there are so many reasons survivors

don't come forward right away, they have a lot of fear, i am a survivor and there is a lot of shame around sexual violence that we are trying to remove. this is important for us to remove. this is important for us to keep pushing forward on getting an fbi investigation and it can be a finite amount of time. it is not have to take months, in the brock turner case, people have the power to post a judge they thought was not being fair, in this case, the only way to get the man off the bench is through impeachment so in my mind is this is a nonpartisan issue, it's a human rights issue and it's time we investigate and take these claims seriously. regarding your organisation, how much of an issue is this in terms of the schooling of children who look back to what happened in the 1980s, it's a generation i remember, the whole

ethos and culture of those decades was very ethos and culture of those decades was very different to what it is now and our people being taught about that now when they perhaps were not back then? that conversation is extremely important and notjust educating young women, but educating young men, about what a healthy relationship is and how to support a friend if they disclose, these are troubling times were survivors, we have seen the amount of calls going into these rape crisis centre hotline is skyrocketing through the roof because it's so triggering, in terms of prevention if we can focus on the youth and have these conversations it's something on our website, shattering the silence. or, and it's being done at oxford for the orientation, it impacts every parent, who needs to talk to their children about what consent means and what is a healthy relationship.

0k, and what is a healthy relationship. ok, angela rose, thank you very much indeed forjoining us on bbc world news. we are waiting for the judiciary committee hearing to resume and as soon as judiciary committee hearing to resume and as soon as it does we will go back alive to capitol hill. just some breaking news about facebook i am just hearing that facebook i am just hearing that facebook has admitted its been hacked and some 50 million users have had their personal data compromised, no more information about that at the moment but 50 million users of facebook have been hacked according to breaking news in the last few minutes. just as we mark that breaking news let's go back to the us judiciary committee, it's not gone back quite yet but as

we have been saying it is due to vote we think in the next 20 minutes are sore about whether to approve the nomination of donald trump's pandered for the supreme court brett kavanaugh, if he is approved the next key stage is a full senate vote sometimes next week, we think maybe tuesday. let's get a recap of today's events with this report from jon sopel. on a day of bitter division americans were at least united on one thing, they are totally absorbed in the this raw human drama unfolding for a vacant seat on the supreme court, the nation watching in rapt attention. he put my hand his hand over my mouth to stop me yelling. he put my hand his hand over my mouth to stop me yellinglj he put my hand his hand over my mouth to stop me yelling. i have never done this to hire or to anyone. what is the strongest memory you have? laughter between the two and them having fun at my expense.

you are saying there has never been a case where you drank so much she did not remember what happened the night before or part of what happened? you are asking about blackouts, i don't know, have you? could you answer the question?” blackouts, i don't know, have you? could you answer the question? i am curious if you have. i have no drinking problem. nor do i. a call for the friend ofjudge kavanaugh, the only eyewitness to the alleged attack being forced to give evidence. it's our constitutional duty to do everything we can to uncover the truth, we cannot in good conscience vote without hearing at least from ourjudge. it was voted down on party lines, but the passions stirred have not dissipated. some democrat members walked out. a republican senator who had been wavering was ambushed in a left the senate building after he

announced he was backing judge kavanaugh. you're telling me i don't matter, that what happened to me doesn't matter and you are going to let people who do these things into power. white have staff have been straining every sinew to getjudge kavanaugh on to the supreme court and other candidate may be bloodied and other candidate may be bloodied and bruised and with undoubted damage to his reputation, the democrats would say with still many questions to answer, it looks as though they are going to get their man, finally over the line. it felt likejudge man, finally over the line. it felt like judge kavanaugh his man, finally over the line. it felt likejudge kavanaugh his testimony was powerful and riveting and it was honest. the judiciary committee will vote shortly, assuming they vote for brett kava naugh vote shortly, assuming they vote for brett kavanaugh his nomination will go before the full senate ending the formal and deeply ugly process. jon sopel formal and deeply ugly process. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. we are still waiting for the senate committee to resume, stay with us,

and have great triggers a tsunami in indonesia. we will have the latest from jakarta. in all of russia's turmoil it has never come to this, the president said the day would decide the nation ‘s destiny. the president said the day would decide the nation 's destiny. the nightmare are so many people feared for so long is playing out its final act, russians are killing russians in front of a grandstand audience. it was his humility which produced affection from catholics throughout the world but his departure is a tragedy for the catholic church. the israel right when visited the religious compound and that started the trouble. he wants israel alone to have sovereignty over the holy sites which is an thinkable to palestinians. after 45 years of division, germany

is one. in berlini million germans separate the birth of europe's biggest and richest nation. you are watching bbc world news, the latest headlines, members of the us senatejudiciary latest headlines, members of the us senate judiciary committee are latest headlines, members of the us senatejudiciary committee are due to vote in the next few minutes on donald trump's controversial nominee for the supreme court brett kavanaugh. an earthquake has triggered a tsunami which has struck a coastal city in indonesia. witnesses say the giant waves swept into the streets, this report from the indonesian capitaljakarta. mobile phone footage shows the terrifying moments when waves up to three metres high crash into the coursed sweeping into the houses

closest to the shore. other footage circulating on social media shows the perspective of ships i did see showing huge waves hitting the coursed, hearing the terrifying screams and people praying in the videos. officials have confirmed a nanny has hit the area, they say casually figures are not clear at the moment. they are trying to get rescue teams to the area, telecommunications have been cut off, they are sending in teams to try and sort it out as fast as possible. the area is heavily populated and was hit by this huge earthquake at around 5pm this afternoon 7.7 magnitude earthquake. indonesia is no stranger to earthquakes, they regularly happen here in the ring of fire but this

quake is very strong for indonesia and a clear picture of what has taken place and a clear picture of what has ta ken place here and a clear picture of what has taken place here is still to come out. the share price of tesla has fallen sharply after federal regulators charged its bosque elon musk with broad, he is accused of deliberately misleading investors about the plans to return to private ownership. he says the lawsuit is unjustified and the directors say they have full confidence in him. he's the charismatic tech tycoon who has proved a pioneer in everything from space exploration to electric ca rs. from space exploration to electric cars. but no elon musk has put his whole career in danger with one tweet promising to take tesla back into private ownership. it was two words, funding secured, which caught the eye of the stock market regulator because it soon became clear the money was not sewn up.

that means he has misled investors and even geniuses cannot get away with that. neither celebrities that is no reputation as an innovator provide an exemption from federal securities laws. moore has gone wrong lately, accusing one of the cave rescu e rs wrong lately, accusing one of the cave rescuers without evidence of being a paedophile has landed him with a liable lawsuit and smoking marijuana during an interview did not reassure shareholders. but now the regulator wants him barred from running tesla and market watchers say that poses a real threat to the business. elon musk is everything, the whole company hands on him, it's a company that goes to $1 billion in cash every quarter, it is burning cash every quarter, it is burning cash heavily. if he's not you have to look at it being taken out a competitor. elon musk has defied predictions before that he had run out of road but this could be the

tightest spot he has faced yet. the indian supreme court has ruled women between the ages of 10—50 have the right to enter a revered hindu temple ending a centuries—old ban, officials at the famous temple had argued that the ban on women of menstruating age was acceptable because they are considered impure. butjudges ruled it could not be dying i do their constitutional rights including the right to worship. this is a historicjudgment because the supreme court has said women also have an equal right to worship, this centuries—old temple in southern india prevented women between the ages of 10—50 to enter the temple because it was they were in their menstrual cycle. its historic but also path—breaking because there are many temples which

follow this practice of banning women inside the sanctum santorum as they call it. the judgment will go a long way because the supreme court has clearly said everyone in india has clearly said everyone in india has the right to equality hence eve ryo ne has the right to equality hence everyone has the right to worship. there will be many more cases in the future coming over here in regard to the same practice. let's take you back to capitol hill, we are expecting the senatejudiciary committee to resume at any moment now. several of those senators have remained in the room during the break. we saw some democrat senators leaving, so angry where are they about the decision not to allow an fbi investigation including among them the man just fbi investigation including among them the manjust in fbi investigation including among them the man just in the fbi investigation including among them the manjust in the middle, you can see on the left—hand side, the man with the glasses, sheldon

whitehouse, his grey hair showing him, he walked out, he was so cross about the fact that markjudge, one of the men implicated with brett kavanaugh had not been called to give evidence before thisjudiciary committee. that was voted down 11—8 because several democrat senators walked out. this committee has 21 people on it, there is a republican majority. chuck grassley is the chairman sitting in the front of the camera now alongside him, diane feinstein who is a democrat also thatis feinstein who is a democrat also that is sheldon whitehouse, the man who left. but it is thought this particular vote will go through

which will then kick it ahead to next week where there will be a full senate vote. worth remembering the senate vote. worth remembering the senate has a republican majority, 51-49. senate has a republican majority, 51—119. potential couple of republican waverers there so it might not be a figure compleat but the white house is putting everything behind this nomination, donald trump saying on twitter after yesterday he had full confidence in brett kava naugh yesterday he had full confidence in brett kavanaugh and talked about how moving and convincing his evidence had been. some democrats pointing out he said it was a political fix and he was too angry and did not have the character to be a supreme courtjudge for life. we have a news special on the snow coming up. welcome to our special coverage of

the us senatejudiciary committee, which is due to vote shortly on whether it wants to nominate donald trump's choice brett kavanaugh, to become the next supreme courtjustice. yesterday committee members heard dramatic testimony from bothjudge kavanaugh — and christine blasey ford, the professor who accuses him of sexual assault when they were both teenagers. he strongly denies the allegations. this is the scene live in the committee room 226 on capitol hill, where that key vote on brett kavanaugh is due to take place shortly. this is the first of a series of

votes, it is likely as early as next week the entire senate will then go forward to its vote on whether it wa nts to forward to its vote on whether it wants to confirm brett kavanaugh. i'm joined by our north america reporter, this is a crucial vote, which we doesn't look like this is going? there are 21 members, 11 republicans and ten democrats, or the democrats appear to be no and all the republicans appear to be yes so it looks like they are going to put this motion to the senate with a favourable rating. one of the members was in question before, jeff blake is a retiring republican senator from arizona but he released a statement saying he was supported the nomination. he's not been in the room recently, there are questions about where he is and how he will vote but he's on the record saying he will vote yes. i wasjust down on capitol hill and one of the things a

lot of the democrats are saying is it's too soon to have the vote, the testimony was only yesterday and we only had from dr ford and brett kavanaugh, only had from dr ford and brett kava naugh, they only had from dr ford and brett kavanaugh, they are pushing for an fbi investigation but that's not going to happen so what do you think democrats will be thinking and feeling are doing? there is not a whole lot they can do, the procedure is if the vote in a few minutes as they are scheduled it will then go to the floor of the senate and they can introduce it on saturday. that sta rts can introduce it on saturday. that starts the clock, a lot of hoops to jump starts the clock, a lot of hoops to jump through, it will be a matter of a few days before they can have an up a few days before they can have an up or down vote, tuesday we are looking at and then into the 100 persons senate, 50 votes would be enough to confirm brett kavanaugh, there are 51 republicans in the senate so we are talking about two republicans seeing no. we will have more with you throughout the course of this special. earlier today some

democratic senators so unhappy they walked out of the committee and spoke to the media about why they had done so. if this hearing was sufficiently would not have the fbi do a background investigation every time we have a nominee to the court yet when it came to these allegations they wanted to cut off that process. you have to ask why. you have to ask that. i never heard a supreme court justice come out and say there is a left wing conspiracy to undermine his nomination. whoever heard of a supreme court justice who his nomination. whoever heard of a supreme courtjustice who is supposed to be on the court to be impartial to be that politically, it was nakedly impartial to be that politically, it was na kedly political. impartial to be that politically, it was nakedly political. what we saw yesterday was a coordinated effort to change the conversation away from the brave, courageous survivor of

sexual assault because her story was so sexual assault because her story was so intensely, and denier barely credible, to a partisan attack. —— and denier barely credible. on the other side, republican senator lindsay graham made it clear that he will be backing judge kavanaugh's nomination. i have never heard a more compelling defence of one's honour and integrity. then i did for brett kavanaugh. he looked me in the eye and he was mad and he should have been mad. he could tell you where he was at and what he was doing during high school in a way thatjust blew me away. brett kavanaugh and women. if you are a gang
