as the blue peter of russian propaganda. we should point out, and is not in this article, but it is the kremlin and the russian foreign ministry... the gr you. will deny this is all happening. you've probably just set it, this is all happening. you've probablyjust set it, but this is all happening. you've probably just set it, but this this is all happening. you've probablyjust set it, but this is pa rt probablyjust set it, but this is part of research that's been led by the us into this. i do not know if you're watching the kavanaugh events taking place in the senate room stop liem vu was not? what we surprised about. —— taking place in the senate? who was not? i always thought the way would be paid for his confirmation. how sad, the

anniversary of the weinstein allegations coming out? is quite poignant time. no, i'm not shocked at all. there's been this sort of cui’soi’y at all. there's been this sort of cursory investigation this week, a thousand words, one copy, they were all locked in the room to read it. it was only going to go one way as farasl it was only going to go one way as faras i was it was only going to go one way as far as i was concerned. it's depressing. he's written this slightly odd op—ed as well, maybe i got too emotional and hearing this week. can you imagine ifa got too emotional and hearing this week. can you imagine if a woman said that at a job interview? "i got emotional. give me thejob said that at a job interview? "i got emotional. give me the job anyway." i think emotional. give me the job anyway." ithinka emotional. give me the job anyway." i think a serious point is this is a job for life. whatever people might think of chuck and his mocking of christine blasey ford at a rally earlier this week, which ate a lot of people upset, kavanaugh will be

here long after trump is gone. the picture there, talking about the inside of the times here. why would what goes on in the us at its highest court matter to us for example? why do you think it matters further afield? i think it is interesting that it does matter. interesting to see how much british media, amongst others, because of course thursday, language or the language that allegedly separates us, but because america is such a leader, has been, to watch a country that has checks and balances, and i think the times makes several interesting points, how divided the united states are over this, how divided and how political this has become and how public, so does matter because it's. ..

become and how public, so does matter because it's... whether it's in military interventions or in other interventions or embodies ike the un, for example, just that one, the un, for example, just that one, the united kingdom, france, the us and a few other countries often talk about the freedom of their press, of the democracy and the checks and balances. to witness this, i think it's very interesting that it is a very close... it will be a knife edge votes but to see that mike pence, the vice president, is the that will have you if it doesn't come down to vote. —— if it does come down to vote. —— if it does come down to it, the casting vote. formerjusticejohn paul stevens come down to it, the casting vote. formerjustice john paul stevens has said, in his opinion, mr cavanaugh does not belong on the highest court. he says he is a fine federal judge but his performances during the hearings "cause me to change my mind." for many of us, i think that

is what we saw there and how political and how inside the democratic party he is. and also, how angry he became —— anti the democratic party. also the involvement and the tweaking of the president. that leaves... we're going to find out tomorrow, aren't we? the final vote tomorrow. the american bar association also said he's qualified but he more scrutiny. that was last week. let's go to the guardian. you've got a special interest in this particular story. these two sharing the nobel peace prize. we had an interview today. we had an interview with him once he finished surgery because when the nobel representatives try to reach and can be connected him because he was performing what is very important surgery. this is... what i

heard was a man that would notjust to talk about him, not even asian and talking about his past work. he's interested in and what he immediately said is, "i am happy this means what is being recognise here is the suffering of all these sexual victims." and the number of operations he's carried out is quite extraordinary. he's been working... is treated more than 85,000 women and children since 1999. more than half of those dictums of sexual violence as well as rape survivors and he also treats women and girls grew have been subject to the male genital mutilation. —— the female genital. this woman, who was raped, kept as a prisoner, kept by isis and she again is talking about the many women who are still being held by

isis. in the name of a religion but we re isis. in the name of a religion but were they completely abuse these women treat them as sex slaves. were these two have come from and survive, there is a lot of ostracization of victims of sexual assaults. what they're doing is key. his life—saving, essentially. he's performing a lot of reconstructive surgery. performing a lot of reconstructive surgery. she's been very brave. she has. the risk of her life. extraordinary. i think it is very much, who could've thought of that? amazing that we are celebrating her voice and her platform, her speaking out, and so many victims in the us, speak out about sexual assault. they

are being shot down. let's turn to the i. this gives your attention a week and half ago. the epipen. must be pointed out, it is a brand. children are being put at risk. they are. expiry dates have been linking for adults. —— linkedln are. expiry dates have been linking foradults. —— linkedln foradults. we are told they cannot really happen for children. parents getting their kids ready and probably a swell for demand. and they're just not there. it's very frightening. people need epi— pens tend to kerry does not. and they have very short expiry dates. —— tend to carry two. it's very frightening and there were warnings about this last year and

nothing was really done. it does make you wonder, doesn't it, that they've issued this alert last week? the department of health issued this alert last week. when you talk to people living with the shortage of this life—saving drug, they talk about it in months. it's interesting. 0ne mother has visited 15 to 20 pharmacies, which is... that is just, right there, 15 to 20 pharmacies, which is... that isjust, right there, is 15 to 20 pharmacies, which is... that is just, right there, is scary. this remind me of, for years, for the foreign press is a cac, we had awards... this could be a story out of south america. i mean, in britain today? a mother afraid for her child is to go to 15 to 20 pharmacies? we realised the time involved in that? and the fear of looking... i think there's a heightened awareness now of allergies thanks to, u nfortu nately, of allergies thanks to, unfortunately, the death two years
