>> and i'm fnatalie allen. "newsroom" starts right now. at 5:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast, the woman accusing the supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh of sexual assault has agreed to testify. this coming week, the question will the hearing be public or private? she's agreed to testify as we mentioned. this is something that people will be watching. the senate committee hearing will happen on thursday. one topic that is still being negotiated, though, will be, of course, whether someone will be able to determine if this will be public or private. >> either way, the hearing will captivate the u.s. political world. research psychologist christine blasey ford accusing kavanaugh of assaulting her during a house party when they were both teenagers. critics who fear kavanaugh could undermine women's rights if confirmed say this allegation speaks to his character but kavanaugh firmly denies the accusation. >> and now the white house is

responding to the news the accuser has agreed to testify. cnn's sarah westwood reports. >> reporter: the white house is now officially responding to christine blasey ford's decision to testify next week after the aides expressed frustration on the delays. this was the latest that had to be said between them, brett kavanaugh has been cleared from the beginning, he categorically and une quickively denies the allegation and is eager to testify publicly to defend his integrity and clear his schedule and meet with committee counsel. one thing has remained consistent, brett kavanaugh remains ready, willing and eager

to testify as soon as possible. now, the white house and some republicans had initially expressed skepticism at ford's responsement. chuck grassley had hoped to hold a confirmation vote at one point as soon as monday. but sources telling ariane de vogue they hoped to push that back. this is dragging it out from the white house's perspective, but it is giving ford her request of preparing before the senate judiciary committee. >> leslie is joining us now, always a pleasure to have your insights.

how do you categorize this with rocking the country since president trump took office, but here we are after the back-and-forth of charge and denial. there's a hearing this week and professor ford will appear. and so will separately justice kavanaugh. what do you make of the process that got us to this point? >> well, the process has been characterized as with many things during this presidency, but perhaps even more so by deep division, bipartisanship, by a very difficult politics. and it is a decision that has been seemed to have been made now that there is a testimony and a hearing. that question of whether it is public is very significant, because if you look at the data, there is very deep division along partisan lines and gender lines, but there are a lot of americans that don't have a view on kavanaugh. there are about 3 in 10 polled that are not sure about him.

and if it's a public hearing and they are watching, it could have a significant effect on that population not decided. >> right, we'll talk about that. because for a country that is not decided on kavanaugh, look at what is at stake if he comes to the supreme court. so this would be a major test for this country. and also, leslie, a test as we see this drama shake out this week on the women's movement that came into play when donald trump took office. the question is, how will republicans handle the sensitive issue alleging sexual assault. we heard -- we heard mitch mcconnell, the republican leader talk about that on friday. and he let everyone know where he stands on that. let's listen to his comment really quickly and get you to respond. >> he wants to fight, you

watched the tactics, but here's what i want to tell you. in the very near future, judge kavanaugh will be on the united states supreme court. so, my friends, keep the faith. don't get rattled by all of this. we're going to blow right through it and do our job. >> when you hear the republican leader saying he's going to plow right through this, does it sound like they're doing their job? >> well, if you view at how the americans are viewing this, the plurality of women don't think kavanaugh should be confirmed. and a plurality of men think he should be. it's clearly deeply divided on gender lines and will, i suspect, get much worse. in the context where the #metoo movement has been a galvanizing force not only in the united states but to hear the language that the hearings of the allegations won't be taken seriously, it's politically not

very savvy, i would suggest. but it's more significantly going to have a very important consequence, i think, as we go forward. the couple of things here, one is that the trust that americans have in the institutions of the u.s. government has declined. but particularly with the respect to the supreme court. this is supposed to be the one part of american government, which is independent of politics. and it simply is not seen that way anymore. and when you put that into context now of this particular confirmation and the allegations of sexual harassment, it's going to become that level of trust likely to fall even more. but as we head up to the midterms, depending on what happens with the kavanaugh confirmation, i think that the question of women being active in politics, it's going to -- this will become a very divisive issue. and will mobilize female voters and certainly be something that

the democrats are going to play up as we move forward. >> and as we see this play out this week, how careful should republicans be in their handling of this story? and professor ford, whom we want to remind our viewers, has been threatened. and her security is a huge factor in how they move forward here with her coming forward this week. >> yeah, it clearly -- the allegations need to be taken very seriously. republicans, i think, are aware, especially if you look at people like susan collins, lisa murkowski, they know how difficult this issue. this certainly has been a candidate that has not been an obvious candidate for supreme court justice for them, but then you add this layer and it needs to be taken seriously. and the potential of backlash by female voters against the republicans is very significant. and when you consider that those

hearings are going to -- we're talking about the senate judiciary committee, the members of which are the republican members all of which are male, the optics are likely to be very difficult to manage. and i'm sure that the republicans are thinking very carefully about their strategy right now. >> we always appreciate your insights, leslie, thank you. >> thank you. the united states is condemning saturday's terror attack in iran. the gunmen disguised as security forces opened fire on a military parade attack killing 29 people. >> the iranian officials blamed separatists but they also say the attackers had foreign support from countries like the united states and saudi arabia. >> the u.s. state department had this to say about the iranian people, not the government. quote, we stand with the iranian people against the skournl of the radical islamic terrorism and express our sympathy to them at this terrible time. that military parade was being

broadcast on television when the gunmen opened father. -- opened fire. >> in addition to the 29 people killed there, state media says dozens were wounded. footage shows women and children, as you can see right here, scrambling for cover. >> following this story is sam kiley. what more are we hearing from the iranian leadership about all this? >> reporter: well, george, there were four people involved so far as we understand from iranian authorities in this attack. the two survivors have been captured. we are not quite sure what state they are in, now doubt they will be providing a degree of

intelligence to the government for rouhani. from saudi arabia and the united states and in what he calls small countries like the united arab emirates. reuters is reporting that the iranian foreign ministry has now summoned the iranian top ditch lo mat in -- diplomat in iran to this allegation and perhaps other allegations being reported that there was some intemporate tweeting going on. nevertheless, this diplomat has been summoned in tehran. what it does is illustrate the incredibly high degree of

tensions between the sheer dominating there ok acy -- theorocracy of the united states and saudi arabia. the two countries are prosecuting a war or contributing to civil war inside yemen against proxies from iran, notably hezbollah, which has come to the aid of the shea separatists or insurgents if you like inside yemen. so this in the context of that is an illustration of what the iranians are saying. it's not something they could have expected, not the least of the saudis talking about promoting internal dissent. but that is george in the trump administration. that is not that surprising that mr. rouhani would blame the

united states because it is the united states and the allies not calling for violence. i stress this for some kind of pressure to be brought on the rouhani regime subjected to very stringent international sanctions, particularly from the united states following the american suspension of their participation in the deal that allegedly put an end to the iranian nuclear weapons program. george? >> again, so iran pointing the finger at the united states and at regional allies. is there a concern in iran given as you point out that the united states backed out of the nuclear deal under the obama administration, is there concern that what happened here could be more of that to come? >> reporter: well, that is certainly a line being pushed

out by president r ourouhani. and donald trump himself will be speaking in the middle of the week, he's slated to chair a security council meeting in which he hopes to make iran a top part of the agenda. president rouhani is expected to speak on tuesday to keep the nuclear deal going. because the americans have backed out, but the other dignitaries have not. >> sam, thank you so much for the reporting. we'll keep in touch with you. a major business story we'll be following next for you has to do with sky tv in the u.k. and this company right here just made a bid to buy it. plus, a year after threats and insults, north korea appears to be making friends with seoul and washington. a look at the changing korean

shareholders' court. our anna stewart has more. >> reporter: the bidding battle for sky is finally over with comcast emerging victorious. now, it's taken 21 months, multiple bids. and at the end, the taker of the panel in the u.k., the regulator called an end to the saga by announcing a very rare event, an auction. this is something like a penalty shoot-out. this was three rounds of bidding over some 26 hours. now, comcast emerged victorious with this in a bid of 17 pounds, 28 a share. and that is equaling $22.57. compared to 21st century fox at $20.46. they are valuing sky at $40 billion which is higher than the $36.8 billion. comcast wanted to spy sky to

help diversify a way in the united states. increasingly, it is hard to grow there against the online streaming. they have new rivals like amazon, netflix and hulu. and sky will allow them to do just that with the distribution network of 23 million customers as well as content, very valuable things like premier football right now and the own online stream service nowtv. comcast may have won this bid, but it is not quite signed, sealed and delivered yet. next, comcast and fox have to initially announce the final bidding office before they do that at 7:00 a.m. before the market opens. they have published documents to that effect on thursday. then over to sky, they will recognize comcast, i imagine, and they have until october to approve this deal. anna stewart, cnn, london.

and britain's opposition leader is out with a challenge to prime minister theresa may. >> the government is saying they will not give to the brexit talks. >> now they are getting ready for a general potential election. >> we will challenge this government on whatever deal it brings back on our jobs, on living standards and on environmental protection and protection of the jobs and the ability of an incoming labor government to infest and intervene in the economy to bring about decent jobs, wages and unemployment. and if this government can't deliver, then i simply saw to theresa may, the best way to settle this is by having a general election. >> jeremy corbyn not the only one with a message for mrs. may,

the original champion of brexit, nigel farage and david davis are calling for a new plan over free trade and the irish border issues. >> she has to recognize, i think, that the european union is not accepting chequers. the next strategy is a free strategy complete with the old irish strategy. and that way this will carry the labor party. >> we are half in and half out. that doesn't work for the european union. that doesn't work for those of us in this country with brexit. it has very little support in the policy or in the country and that needs to go. >> farage and davis were at a leave means leave rally this weekend in the northwest of england. this event comes after the prime minister admitted the brexit

talks impacted brussels. and for decades, the vatican had an agreement with the communist country of china will allow it to veto candidate. the spokesman says this is a step to toward bridging the gap between china and the church. >> the objective of the accord is not political but it's pastoral, what that means is that the faithful in china, they have bishops in communion with the pope, but at the same time recognized by chinese authorities. it is also to remember that while it's come to fruition under pope francis, pope benedict had a letter to chinese catholics in 2007, he was working for the same goal. john paul ii had made legitimate -- a number of ill

legitimately ordain ed bishops. >> he just celebrated mass with faithful catholics with day two of his tour of his baltic tour. >> in the coming hours, pope francis will visit the museum of occupations and fight for freedom. that's a former kgb prison. and he'll pray for the victims in world war ii. and then he'll set off for latvia and estonia. in the geopolitical landscape, it couldn't be different from where it was last year. paula hancocks is in south korea. >> reporter: there are a key few days coming up when it comes to

the denuclearization of north korea. south korean president moon yeah-in will travel to the united states to brief president trump on the three-day summit with kim jong-un and will effectively be putting the ball back in the u.s. court now, he will recommend for a second summit with the white house. the white house is open to it. and the president will be reinforcing this message. he said kim jong-un told him he wants another summit as soon as possible to continue with denuclearization very quickly. now, there are plenty of critics in the u.s. including within the trump administration that believe that mr. trump should not be rewarding the north korean leader with a second summit when they have not been tangible results on the step stools of denuclearization. the other tangible result that president moon believes he will be going to the u.s. with is that kim jong-un agreed to shut down the key missile site. and he will be allowing international experts, he says,

into very by the that process -- verify that process. if the u.s. has corresponding measuring, then north korea will agree to shut down the nuclear facility. and president moon did have a press conference with journalists as soon as he got back to seoul from the summit and i asked him what exactly are the corresponding measures? and he said it was to end hostilities against north korea, which means an end to the korean war, which was signed by an armistice, not a peace treaty, back in 1953. and this is something both north korea and south korea have been very clear about. they both want to end the korean war, to have the declaration and to have a peace treaty. now, certainly, so far the u.s. response appears to have been positive to this three-day summit. so president moon will be heading to the u.s. and also to the united nations general assembly knowing there's a positive response, that the u.s. is willing to restart negotiations. but the issue remains the same,

it is all about timing and order. the u.s. wants denuclearization and will follow that at the end of the korean war and concessions. north korea wants it exactly the opposite way. paula hancocks, cnn, seoul. thank you. again, following the new supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh, if confirmed, he would be the second sitting u.s. supreme court justice accused of sexual misdeeds. >> will history repeat itself almost 30 years after this woman, anita hill, testifiedtho? more on that when we come back here on "cnn newsroom." yes. it intensely moisturizes your hair and scalp and keeps you flake free. manolo? look at my soft hair. i should be in the shot now too. try head and shoulders two in one. another anti-wrinkle cream in no hurry to make anything happen. neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair works in just one week.

of faithful. the pope heads to latvia and estonia next to share a message of solidarity against depression, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the baltic state's independence from russia. and we turn now to the u.s., the woman accusing u.s. supreme court justice nominee brett kavanaugh of sexual assault has agreed for now in the back-and-forth as you know to testify in the senate committee hearing on thursday. negotiations are set to continue in a few hours between both sides. and we're told that will include whether the hearing should be public. >> the research psychologist christine blasey ford accuses kavanaugh of assaulting her. she says it happened during a house party when they were both teenagers. judge kavanaugh denies the allegations. the drama surrounding kavanaugh's nomination is drawing comparisons to a controversy to grip the country more than 25 years ago. >> just take a look at the new cover of "time" magazine.

featuring a 1991 image of then supreme court nominee clarence thomas looming over current nominee brett kavanaugh. the headline? what's changed? >> you'll remember back in 1991, anita hill testified under oath that she suffered sexual harassment by then nominee and now supreme court justice clarence thomas. tom foreman has this story for us. >> reporter: two federal judges, conservative nominees for the supreme court, two women reluctant witnesses from the men's past accusing them of sexual misconduct. what else is similar? plenty. >> his conversations were very vivid. >> reporter: in 1991, a law professor named anita hill, said her boss clarence thomas, sexually harassed her in the '80s on details and lewd

comments. >> he talked about pornographic materials, depicting individuals with large penises or large breasts involved in various sex acts. on several occasions, thomas told me graphically of his own sexu sexual pralis. >> if anything can think to do for themselves, to have different ideas. >> reporter: brett kavanaugh's accuser christine blasey ford is also laying out details saying at a high school party, kavanaugh pushed me into a bedroom, tried to disrobe me. and kavanaugh says this is a completely false allegation. i have never done anything like what the accuser describes.

>> the day began with a roy moore allegation by kellyanne conway ends with charlie rose and accusations against women. >> reporter: so what is different? the times, above all else. and the roaring tide of the #metoo movement. many men are being held accountable for admitted sexual wrongs. in "the washington post" poll, 72% of americans feel sexual harassment is a big problem compared to 17% just before anita hill made her case. so hill is saying kavanaugh's accuser can't be taken lightly. and this time, even some in the judge's corner agree. >> she should not be ignored. >> reporter: the real question is what comes next for all the uproar in a close vote? clarence thomas was confirmed to the supreme court, and it remains to be seen whether

kavanaugh can also weather the storm and come out on top. tom foreman, cnn, washington. of course, referencing back to anita hill there in 1991, she's a professor today in boston. well, earlier our colleague anna cabrera spoke with emma jordan on the legal team back in 1991 that helped prepare ms. hill for the historic appearance. here's part of that interview. >> we are working in a situation that is the same in some ways to the way it was in 1991 and different. some of the similarities are that some of the same senators are on this committee. hatch is on the committee. and we've got -- >> grassley and leahy are the other ones. >> so there are similarities. some of the techniques that are being used to characterize her are similar. senator hatch has said, she's mixed up.

and for anita hill, he held up a copy of "the exorcist" saying the stories are the account of what clarence thomas said were taken from a fiction. so the idea of trying to diminish the importance of a woman's experience, unfortunately for some on the committee, there's no progress. i think it is crucial that the country see our elected representatives interact with this witness. the idea of hiring outside counsel, a woman, to question her, this is not the kind of leadership we expect. >> emma jordan also says ford's legal team has grown and will help her navigate the complexities of what is to come.

it was 27 years ago that the former vice president of the united states, joe biden, that he was the senate judiciary committee chairman. that year was 1991. and he presided over the confirmation hearings over supreme court justice clarence thomas at the time. that's where anita hill's accusations against the then nominee took senator center stage. >> hill has long been critical of biden's approach to the hearings. last week, she said she had yet to receive a direct apology from the former vice president. here's joe biden's reply. >> i'm sorry, i couldn't have stopped the kind of attacks that came to you. but i never attacked her. i supported her. i believed her from the beginning. and i voted against clarence thomas. >> that episode, which draws parallels to the kavanaugh confirmation process, in the midst of sexual assault allegations, it looms over biden as he considers the presidential

run for 2020. i want to recap the story we have been tracking out of iran, the country is launching new accusations after a deadly terror attack. the state media reports the gunmen opened fire on saturday at a military parade in southwestern iran. >> at least 29 people were killed here. officials blame separatists, but they also say the attackers had foreign support from countries like the u.s. and saudi arabia. for thou this plays into iranian politics, we're joined from tehran by a professor at tehran university. thank you for joining us. >> a pleasure to be with you. >> thank you. we'll play the recent comments from mr. rouhani on what happened. >> the small puppets, what we have seen in the region are backed by the united states and they are giving them the necessary capabilities to commit these crimes.

these crimes will not have an effect on our people. our people have withstood great crimes. iran's response is forthcoming in the framework of law and our national interest. the perpetrators will be arrested and brought to justice. >> all right. so can you talk to us about the iranian response to this and the charges that they believe saudi arabia and the united states could be behind it. >> yes, the perception was a very sophisticated act. the perception is that it was organized, supported and trained by the other countries. so these are the other countries predominantly that means basically saudi arabia. and because the united states is supporting saudi arabia, so iran would take both of them responsible for the alaskas of the terrorist group. but also the trick is this act,

which was clearly a terrorist act, should have been condemned by everyone, including the europeans. the expectation is that there is no justification for such a violent act to kill the innoc t innocent. so if you do not want a standoff, europe should not be supportive of basically such a kind of group. i was listening to abc persian last night, and myself and the spokesman for this terrorist group basically had a chance to say, yes, we accepted the act. it was done by ourself. they accepted the responsibility of the act. so this is a terrorist group, why did you support it? and europe is supporting it. so it is not something which

is -- >> is there a concern that there could be more of this? and what would more of a destabilized iran mean to the wider picture of what is going on in the middle east, vis-a-vis the syrian war? >> well, the concern for destabilization. this act has already happened. and it will happen again in the future, not just in the parliament of iran, but it will happen again in iran. by no means, this is such the kind of action if it happens in france, if it happens in britain, if it happens in such a kind of act to destabilize france, britain and the u.s.

so these kind of things can happen later on, too. so i can't fesay what is going happen, but the point is what will the reaction be in society or the international community? you should see the international community -- this is like, for instance, there is a terrorist action, if there are metro stations, subway stations, the u.s., we come and get the path for resentment against britain. that's why we took such action. just imagine we give them the path and they announce that, okay, you have resentment against the u.s. and that's why we took such a kind of action. such a kind of action and these kind of actions should not be given the platform, should not

be supported, should not be trained or financed. and anyone should become involved. >> thank you so much. >> you're welcome. and many along the east coast are trying to rebuild after the devastating effects of hurricane florence. and is 2x m. bounty, the quicker picker upper. i couldn't catch my breath.

it was the last song of the night. it felt like my heart was skipping beats. they said i had afib. what's afib? i knew that meant i was at a greater risk of stroke. i needed answers. my doctor and i chose xarelto® to help keep me protected from a stroke. once-daily xarelto®, a latest-generation blood thinner significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. warfarin interferes with at least 6 of your body's natural blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor. for afib patients well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. it may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. get help right away for unexpected bleeding or unusual bruising. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. before starting, tell your doctor about all

planned medical or dental procedures and any kidney or liver problems. learn all you can to help protect yourself from a stroke. talk to your doctor about xarelto®.

in southern california, there is another brush fire that has quickly grown to about 3,000 acres or 1200 hectares.

>> now the fire is just 10% contained. officials say no structures have been damaged and no injuries have been reported. my goodness, you can just see the devastation there. from flames to flooding now in the state of north carolina, people are still feeling the effects after what was hurricane florence. the rain has stopped but new areas continue to flood without warning. >> and south carolina also facing a continued dire situation. that picture right there tells you the story. rainwater is moving downstream now potentially putting thousands of people in danger in the coming days. >> and the city of conway is seeing some of the worst flooding in the state. we'll talk more about this, we'll bring in meteorologist karen mcginnis. >> this is definitely close to

home. yes, people lost their pets, their homes, their agriculture and livestock. they have wiped out millions and millions of these animals that have been affected. the death toll continues to go up every day, almost every saw that we see. i want to take you to pinderlee, north carolina. this is a firefighter hosing down the interstate. he is, but he's pushing the dead and dying fish off the road because this is a portion of interstate 40 that was flooded thanks to florence. they saw record-breaking flooding across this region. and the fish became stranded in the floodwaters there. we'll take you to south carolina now. this is an hour's drive. this is where people have saving mementos or anything they can

from their homes or businesses. so residents say no area has gone untouched. and in dallas, texas, this has nothing to do with florence, but in the last 24 hours rivers and streams and creeks have been pushed out of their banks to near record and record-setting levels. one of those was at white rock creek. it set the all-time record crest. i want to show you very quickly what is happening with typhoon tramy moving off to the west/northwest. winds are associated with them and have gone up to 175 kilometers per hour. it is expected to become even stronger. will it take aim at taipei? chances are it will move more to the north, but southern japan could be in the sights. and relief that people across the philippines don't have to worry about this after

the typhoon. and one of the most famous volcanos is giving quite the show. >> this volcano erupted at least 44 times this week alone. wow. >> thankfully, the eruptions have not caused problems for anyone there or for airlines or for tourists. >> exactly. quite a show. >> just the awe of nauch. speaking of awe, to rovers land between earth and mars. we'll talk more about that when we come back. as a face to be reckoned with. only botox® cosmetic is fda approved to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines look better. it's a quick 10 minute cosmetic treatment given by a doctor to reduce those lines. there is only one botox® cosmetic, ask for it by name. the effects of botox® cosmetic, may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

japan's space agency launching the unmanned rocket to the international space station including 5 tons of water and experiments. >> the cargo ship is expected to arrive at the space station on thursday where the crew will use a robotic arm to capture it. the rocket will then return to earth where it is set to burn up in the pacific. saturday was already historic for japan's space agency. it's two unmanned rovers successfully landed on an

asteroid. and these images just amazing to look at. the agency says they are in good condition and transmitting images and data. >> the tiny robot separated from the spacecraft and land on the asteroid. that asteroid between earth and mars. earlier i spoke with retired astronaut leroy ciao about this achievement. >> the spacecraft itself is about the size of a very large refrigerator. and the rovers are a little bit smaller and were deployed successfully as you saw in the news and they have gone down to a service, which is pretty incredible. because this ryugu, it's a ride itself, is 1 kilometer itself. and the gravity level is about 1/80 thousandths in the earth. if you put a lantern down on the low asteroid, that's pretty incredible. and the things are not traditional rovers, they hop. so there's a mechanism that

allows them to jump around on the asteroid. they go up to 15 meters off the surface and stay up above it for up to 15 minutes. and what they're looking for, they are looking for organ you can compounds and other measurements in addition to the great pictures that they're spending back. so it's exciting because, you know, a few years ago the european space agency sent rosetta to comet 67-p. and the rover found signs of organic chemicals, including the existence of one of the amino acids, a basic building block to dna which is a basic building block to life. >> just a little bit of life inside that asteroid. we'll be finding out more about it when the robots come back in 2020. >> it is so amazing that we can do that. >> it is hard to comprehend. thank you for watching. i'm natalie allen. >> and i'm george howell. for our viewers in the united states, "new day" is next. for the viewers around the
