you're telling all women in america that they don't matter and if they told truth, they will just help that man to power anyway. an elevator confrontation, a change of heart, a delay. u.s. supreme court nominee will be investigateded eby the fbi. and a stunning change there and plus this hour the death toll jumps now nearly 34400 are dead after an earthquake and tsunami slammed into indonesia. and a security bleareach,

facebook confesses it was hacked again. >> and what you can do to protect your security. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm natalie allen. >> and i'm george how wiellhowe. "newsroom" starts right now. and we begin with the stunning development in the confirmation battle over supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. >> republicans hit the pause button even though that really wasn't part of their plan originally. now the white house and senate the republicans agreed to a one week delay on a final senate vote. so the fbi can investigate sexual assault allegations against brett kavanaugh. >> the delay of course the result of a last minute change of heart by republican senator jeff flake seen right there, he is seen as one of three swing votes needed by republicans to confirm kavanaugh. for more on the developments,

manu ra u raju is in washington. >> reporter: republicans were confident that they had the votes to quickly confirm brett kavanaugh to the supreme court, but a late twist now could put that in jeopardy. republican senator jeff flake demanded a week long delay to give the fbi time to investigate whether kavanaugh sexually assaulted christine blasey ford when they were teenagers. >> i can only say that i would be only comfortable moving forward on the floor, i'll move it out of committee, but i will only be moving on the floor until the fbi has done more investigation than they have already. it may not take them a week. i understand that some of these witnesses may not want to discuss anything further. but i think that we owe them due diligence. >> reporter: in the 12 days since ford madel her allegation public, republicans had rejected

calls for an fbi probe. but with flake backed bylaws murkows murkowski, republican leaders had no choice. what happens if the fbi is not done with this background investigation within a week? >> one, you can have the fbi, cia and the foreign legion and they won't tell you anything more than you know now. that is my view. but we'll see what happens. he said he will -- a week is enough for him or maybe less. so we're not playing this game of opening this up and it goes on forever. what he said was that i would feel better if they had a week to look at what is in front of us. no more. >> reporter: the senate judiciary committee did approve the nomination on a party line vote friday. but his fate in the full senate will now depend on the results of the probe. friday's developments were just the latest twist in a nomination battle that has the senate and much of the country bit early gui

divided, all playing out just weeks before the midterm election, after ford and kavanaugh both delivered emotional and riveting testimony thursday about the alleged incident that kavanaugh strongly denies. key senators deeply torn. the arizona senator saying he would support kavanaugh because he presumed a presumption of nn innocence, but just moments later angry protesters confronted him. >> she's telling the truth. what you are doing is allowing someone who actually violated a woman to sit in the supreme court. this is not tolerable. >> reporter: flake entered the hearing room advisably shaken, oftentimes frowning and resting his head on his hands. he late are abruptly left his seed and asked to speak to chris coons. he later said that flake said that he was concerned that the nomination battle is tearing the country apart. >> we share a deep concern for

the health of this snufgs and wh -- nufgs a -institution and what it means to the rest of the world. >> didn't have a motion. this is all a gentleman and women's agreement. >> gentlemen and women's agreement. >> reporter: after jeff flake met with mitch mcconnell, i had just asked him directly, is there anything that could change your vote after you said that you would vote for brett kavanaugh, could you vote no now? he said perhaps. he said we'll see what the fbi investigation brings. he left open the option of changing his vote, but one thing that he made clear, he expects this investigation to be done within a week and i asked him what happens if it is not. he said well, it needs to be and we'll be prepared to move forward if it is not. so we'll see if the fbi does its investigation within a week and we'll see what they find, but a lot of uncertainty about brett kavanaugh's nomination here on capitol hill.

manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. and we are of course hearing from brett kavanaugh in a statement he said that he would continue to cooperate with the fbi. >> but he would not answer -- he continued to dodge the question during the hearing that he agreed to an fbi investigation or would want that. an attorney for his accuser christine blasey ford welcomed the new investigation but said it should not be subject to artificial time limits. >> the u.s. president says he is willing do whatever republican senators decide necessary to move forward on brett kavanaugh's confirmation. >> for more about that, here is jeff zeleny. >> reporter: president trump showing unusual restraint today with judge brett kavanaugh facing a new hurdle in his supreme court confirmation battle. >> i'll let the senate handle that, they will make their decisions and they have been doing a good job. >> reporter: in the oval office, the president taking a rare hands off approach to new demands from senators, this time

republicans, that the fbi reopen its background check on kavanaugh. >> they have to do what they think is right. there there there is no message. they have to be comfortable with themselves. >> reporter: after accusing democrats all week of dragging their feet -- >> they know it is a big fat con job. >> reporter: the president suddenly being differential with arizona republican jeff flake leading the charge and holding the cards on kavanaugh's fate. for more than a week, the president has repeatedly dismi s dismissed the need but today the president saying he would support the investigation if senate republicans asked him to. >> i would be totally reliant on what senator grassly and the group decides to do. >> reporter: the president like millions was watching the testimony. >> brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from yelling. >> reporter: calling the hearing very compelling. >> she looks like a very fine woman to me, very fine woman. it was an incredible moment i

think in the history of our country. but certainly she was a very credible witness. >> reporter: now white house official says that the president will order and authorize the fbi to do a supplemental background check into judge kavanaugh lasting no more than a week. this comes ten days after the president said that the fbi does not do these kind of investigations. but now he is ordering them to do just that. jeff he zezeleny, the white hou. lisa murder you cow ski and susan collins are among the few senators considered swing votes. as a result protesters from their home statesyou cow ski an susan collins are among the few senators considered swing votes. as a result protesters from their home states are demanding that the two women vote no on kavanaugh's chances. >> you see these demonstrations, people came together in anchorage, alaska on friday telling murkowski they believe christine blasey ford's sexual assault story and they don't

want kavanaugh in that seat. the same message being conveyed by demonstrations in collins' home state in portland, maine. let's talk more about this now with james davis. director of the institute for political science at the university of saint galan live from munich, germany. thank you for your time. let's start by talking about the one republican senator who reconsidered, jeff flake returning to the room after voting to confirm kavanaugh now insisting for an additional week to allow the fbi to investigate this. some say that he pulled his party from the brink of making a highly polarizing move. critics may look back at this moment as the moment that the gop flinched. your thoughts. >> well, i think senator flake has done the country a favor, not just his party. we're talking about elevating somebody to the highest court of the land. it is a lifetime appointment. and none of us understand what the rush is. of course the republicans don't

want a delay. a delay gives the opponents of this nomination whether politically motivated or motivated by the very credible charges that have been raised against judge kavanaugh, it gives them time to mobilize. and that takes the momentum out of this nomination. so i understand why the republican leadership wanted to move forward as quickly as possible. but in the best interests of the country, we need to take a look at these allegations quite a bit of names have been raised, people that were alleged to have been around when some of these allegations took place. and so, you know, the fbi can do its job and find out whether there is any corroborating evidence. i don't think by the way that we'll ever know what happened in that room at that party 36 years ago, but we can perhaps get to the bigger question of whether judge kavanaugh's accounts are believable. he has denied quite a few charges made against him, he's made certain claims about the

way that he behaved in high school and college. and it seems that we can find out whether or not the picture he has been painting of himself is accurate or not . >> adding more time to investigate, does it make it easor or difficult for the moderate republicans or red state democrats to get to a yes vote or does it make it more likely that the nomination fails? >> i think it depends on what comes out of these visits. if the investigations turn up nothing, it will make it easier for the republicans on the fence, the two female senators you spoke about from alaska and maine, and jeff flake to line up behind the republican leadership and vote in favor of this. but if some of the evidence points to the fact that judge kavanaugh is perhaps untruthful in his accounts of his past, that would reinforce i think the judgments of many that he lacks

judicial temperament, programs the kind programs -- perhaps the kind of maturity that we would expect of a man on his age reflecting on his teenage and early 20s years and therefore decide to not support this. so i think it depends on what we find out in the course of the next week. >> two things i want to touch on, first that pivotal moment where flake was confronted in an elevator. this played out live on cnn. you see flake certainly taken aback by people who had a message to share with him, that moment where politics and process seemed forced to face the "me too" movement. this movement of women coming forward demanding that their stories be heard, that seems to dwarf petty politics. president trump search takicertg notice of this, having a different tone before arguing that the fbi had nothing to question. he argued over twitter last week that if blasey ford's experience was as bad as she says, why

didn't she come forward sooner. that of course caused backlash oig. and the president has a different tone this time saying that he does believe there should be an investigation. your thoughts on this. >> well, i think the president is well served to act presidential at this moment. by adding oil to the fire with more tweets would only drive the senators that are on the fence further away. and so i think that he is well advised to stay out of this, to remain presidential, allow the senate do their job. senator flake is a conservative, he values conservatism, a man who places great stock in the traditional values that have made the country great and a so i think he is really wrestling with this in the sense that he wants to support a judge that has conservative credentials, but he also wants to remain loyal to his own personal values and the values of his constituency. so he is on the fence. and he will have to make a tough

decision. and if the president gets involved in this in an untoward way, it makes it less likely i think that senator flake will support the nomination. >> james davis, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. and we'll continue to exp explore that story, but coming up here, hundreds are dead and many missing after a powerful earthquake leads to a deadly tsunami indonesia. we'll tell you why rescue workers are having trouble reaching people. and is iran trying to exploit political turmoil in iraq? we're live on the latest of the evacuation of u.s. personnel out of basara. you're watching "newsroom." stay with us. y type 2 diabetes wasn't my top priority. until i held her. i found my tresiba® reason. now i'm doing more to lower my a1c. i take tresiba® once a day. tresiba® controls blood sugar for 24 hours for powerful a1c reduction.

that is the deadly tsunami plowing into indonesia. and we've learned that there are now 380 people dead, more than 500 injured. >> indonesia's disaster

management says the death toll will most likely rise in the coming days. as they get more information from neighboring regions. at this moment rescue workers are struggling to find survivors in all of the damage and wreckage left from this, but it is hard to work with the power and phone lines down. let's talk more about this now with the country manager for catholic relief services in indonesia. thank you for your time. i understand that you are monitoring this situation from jakarta. what are you hearing from officials about the extent of damage so far? >> we just hear from our partner who are on the way to the target area at this point. the damage was quite significant but extensive especially with the tsunami. and we heard also government authority officials that more than 380 people has been

declared dead. and llgs abuildings and devasta reported from the area as well. >> talk to us about the efforts to get in supplies, to get the food, medicine, things that people need given what happened there. >> it would be a challenge for workers to go there because the airport is closed and some damages on the roads and infrastructure leading into the area. our team will be flying out there tomorrow to support the local partners in conducting assessment to assess, identify the scale of the damage so we can also make decision how we can help them. >> and as far as efforts to find people who are in need of rescue, how difficult a challenge is that as we indicated with power out, with

phone lines down? >> the government has deployed military and police personnel and also the staff and rapid response team from natural disaster management agencies, they are already there including the red cross, international red cross already there. and now the priority for the development is search and rescue to save lives. >> i want to show our viewers again the man so people can get a sense of where this happened. and if you could tell us about the power of a tsunami coming through. again, we see so much devastation in the wake of this tragedy, but just explain the power and intensity of what this tsunami has left behind.

>> from what the disaster management agency release this morning, the tsunami was quite powerful. it wasn't as big as the previous tsunami, but big enough to wash the area and constructions and infrastructure within the few hundred meters from the coastal line. so that what make the impact of the earthquake and tsunami quite significant in that area. and palu is located in a central province about five hours flight from jakarta. but you now the airport is also closed because the damage. >> thank you so much for your time. we will of course continue to stay in touch with you and monitor the situation. >> thank you so much, george. >> that footage of that tsunami coming ashore is just terrifying. at least somebody was able to

get video of that. we turn to another story, the u.s. is pulling staff from its consulate in the southern iraqi city of basra. the state department says that the consulate and the u.s. embassy came under indirect fire from iran linked militias. >> these images that you see, it says that they show the aftermath of the rocket strikes near basra international airport. cnn cannot con on firm the authenticity, but the u.s. consulate is near the airport. >> let's go now to ben wedeman, he is live for us in beirut. ben, how serious is this and how credible is the u.s. claim iran is linked to these attacks? >> reporter: it is certainly serious. this is one of three diplomatic missions of the united states in iraq. and one in a very oil-rich part of the country where there are a lot of american oil companies operating. as far as the credibility of

these claims by the united states that the iranian backed militias are were behind these missile attacks, not all clear. there were no claims of responses by the groups. keeping in mind of course that the rocket attacks on the u.s. or in the direction of the u.s. consulate in basra this month took place during these widespread protests in basra that have been going on since july. but really intensified in september. protests against the poor state of infrastructure in the city. now, during those protests, not only were there massive street protests, but one of the things that happened was that the crowd torched the iranian consulate in basra. the iranians however reopened it four days later. now, the united states consulate in basra is not actually in basra, it is within the

perimeter of basra international airport which is a fair distance from the city. and these rocket attacks did not cause any significant material damage or any casualties whatsoever. now, what is interesting is that in the "new york times" today, there is a report that says that over the last year, there has been an internal debate within the u.s. state department over the wisdom of maintaining the u.s. consulate in basra which according to the "new york times" cost anywhere between $200 million and $350 million. and so i think that we really need to see this decision by the united states to what they say temporarily relocate the staff from the embassy in basra within the context of the current tensions between the united states and iran within iraq itself, but also within the con

tekts text of the united states deciding to pull out of the iran nuclear deal and the fairly aggressive approach taken by the trump administration towards iran since it pulled out of that deal. >> ben wedeman for us, thank you. we'll continue to follow it. basra certainly a flash point there. thanks, ben. if you are on facebook, maybe you need to hit that head slapping emoji. facebook has been hacked again. oh, boy. we'll have tips from a privacy expert on how to keep your account safe ahead. and also ahead, did a confrontation in an elevator change the course of brett kavanaugh's supreme court confirmation process? >> i have two children. i cannot imagine that for the next 50 years they will have to have someone in the supreme court who has been accused of violating a young girl. what are you doing, sir? i landed.

i saw my leg did not look right. i was just finishing a ride. i felt this awful pain in my chest. i had a pe blood clot in my lung. i was scared. i had a dvt blood clot. having one really puts you in danger of having another. my doctor and i chose xarelto®. xarelto®. to help keep me protected. xarelto® is a latest-generation blood thinner that's...

the aftermath of rocket strikes near the consulate on friday. the u.s. president has ordered the fbi to investigate sexual assault allegations against brett kavanaugh. that will delay the final senate vote on the supreme court nominee by at least a week. in a statement friday, kavanaugh said that he would, quote, continue to cooperate, end quote, with the fbi. an attorney who represents christine blasey ford, his accuser, welcomed the new investigation but said that there should be no artificial time limits. >> the delayed senate vote is the result of a last minute change of heart by the arizona senator jeff flake. he went from saying that he would vote for kavanaugh on friday to demanding an fbi investigation before that final vote. he is seen as one of the three swing votes needed by republicans to confirm brett kavanaugh. >> so what changed his mind? we don't know for sure, but this right here may have something to do with it. >> look at me when i'm talking to you.

you're telling me that my assault doesn't matter, that what happened to me doesn't matter and that you are going to let people who do these things into power. what you are doing is allowing someone who actually violated a woman to sit in the supreme court. this is not tolerable. you have children in your family. think about them. i have two children. i cannot imagine that for the next 50 years they will have to have someone in the supreme court who has been accused of violating a young girl. what are you doing, sir? >> annamaria, one of the women who confronted senator flake in that elevator, told cnn why she did that. >> honestly, i had literally just read the headlines of his statement. and we saw him running to the elevate tore and we ran behind him. it was a very kind of intense moment.tore and we ran behind

him. it was a very kind of intense moment. i was not really prepared even for my own emotions. but i felt like he really needed to hear. like he needed to understand that women feel incredibly enraged about the thought of our stories of our experiences of surviving sexual violence being dismissed, laughed at, disbelieved. and i think-of-i just felt a great sense of urgency. >> did you feel that he was listening? >> i saw on his face that he could not escape the emotion. >> it is the top story we're following. you can follow more of kavanaugh's confirmation process and reaction to it at cnn.com of course. following facebook now, it says that it took the unusual step of forcibly logging out more than 90 million users from their accounts because of a security breach. facebook says that attackers gained access to millions of

users' accounts at other sites that were logged in through facebook. >> accounts of ceo mark zuckerberg and executive sheryl sandberg were among them. this latest attack comes as facebook has been drug link with security breaches and privacy. it says people don't have to reset their passwords. let's talk more about this with andrew hunt, he is a privacy and technology expert joining us from los angeles. andrew, thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you, natalie. >> let's start with the door these hackers used to gain access to tens of millions of accounts. what was it? >> the door was just an everyday feature you see on facebook, it was what is called the view as feature which lets you as a user see your profile how other people see your profile. so pretty straightforward, but clearly there was a big issue here. >> facebook says people's credit cards were not compromised, but

what was compromised as far as privacy as far as you know? >> as far as we know, it was your basic person al info. things like your name, your location, as well as potentially access to the other accounts that you might use to log in using facebook. so that might be things like spotify or facebook messenger or other apps that connect through the log-in feature. >> so should anyone feel wary about logging back in now that facebook has logged out the people, the millions that were hacked? >> that is a good question. i think that this definitely undermines some of the trust that people might have with facebook. i think that as far as facebook is concerned, people are safe and they can log back in. and those accounts have been reset. but there is a variety of actions that you can take to furth

furth furthersa safe guard yourself. first you want to log in and there is a setting in the privacy area where you can log out everywhere. so you want to go in first and click that. and that will log you out of all the devices that you use facebook to log you in through. so you will do that first. and then second, if you've used this facebook log-in feature, you will want to go through each different app that you utilize that feature for and log out of that as well. and to be extra safe, you might want to disconnects that entirely and just use the native log-in feature so you are no longer connected through facebook. >> kind of got to feel for users. it is hard enough to dig down into the facebook rules and regulations and you almost have to be a privacy expert yourself to stay ahead of it a little bit. >> this is true. unfortunately it assigns getsso

so complicated. facebook has tried to consolidate their setting to one page to make it easier, but even still if you have a variety of accounts connected to that facebook log-in, it just gets more and more complicated. so you really have to be on top of your privacy as a consumer these days. >> and it is so very challenging. the announcement is the latest issue for mark zuckerberg's company. it has struggled with securities breaches. there was cambridge analytica, russian trolls, now this. facebook says that it is investing heavily in security going forward and increasing the number of people from 10,000 to 20,000 working on securities. that sounds like a lot, bruh b does a company even that large stay ahead of attacks? can they? >> that is a good question. it is incredibly complicated given the size and scale of a company like facebook nowadays. there are a variety of ways to do that both internal to the company and external.

i thought one thing that was interesting was that the day after facebook mentioned that they noticed a spike in users that might be due to something like a hack, they have what is called a bug bounty page which they posted on the 17th of september that they were looking for help from the public to find these types of bugs. and they offered a $500 reward to do that. in my view that reward could be much larger and that might incentivize as a matter of fact software developers out there toy-to-try to find bugs before hackers find those bugs. so i think that there is more facebook can do beyond what they are doing today and i think that they should get more creative about that because this is clearly a huge issue for facebook and the 50 million to 90 million users that are affected. >> absolutely. seems to happen again and again, yeah, offering more money absolutely. andrew hunt, we appreciate your

input. thank you. >> thank you. still ahead, a state visit aimed at mending ties as thousands of protesters come together in the streets, why people are rallying in germany against turkey's president. a live report ahead. plus, russia's top diplomat takes on the u.s. at the united nations. we have an in-depth report from new york. you're watching "cnn newsroom."

turkey's president is set to open one of the largest mosques. erdogan is wrapping up a state visit which has seen protests against him and his policies. >> the trip aimed at repairing ties between ankara and berlin, they have fray fld recent yeed s

in part because of his crack down on journalists and imprisoning some citizens. atika shubert is following this story. what a difference a year makes given the insults, frayed ties between turkey's president and the german chancellor. tell us about the reaction now. >> reporter: well, i think it is pretty clear the relationship is still a little rough around the edges. it started off well enough yesterday when president erdogan was greeted with full military honors. this is a state visit, so it comes with all the pomp and circumstance. and that is why chris at this tim times -- critics are upset. they say that he will use in as a pop begropaganda tool back ho. it started out well with the military honors and then he went into a meeting with choancellor angela merkel and it became a bit of a diplomatic sparring match where he basically said that germany was harboring

terrorists by which he meant journalists for example that had spoken out against the government what he considered members of the opposition and the kurdish workers party, the pkk. for her part, chancellor merkel said that she was upset that german journalists had been detained in turkey as political prisoners, there were still five german citizens being held there, so she urged for their relief. in the middle of this press conference, a turkish journalist was attention out, he had a t-shirt wearing press freedom in turkey. so it ended on this rather unsettled note. and then there was the state dinner. chancellor merkel did not attend, however it was a formal state dinner held by the president of germany. so she didn't have to attend. but the speeches were about human rights, freedom of press and at some point it was clear that the turkish president had had enough. he went off script and he said

we've talked about this before, again accused germany of harboring terrorists and taking opposition people such as journalists on a silver platter were his words. so it ended on a rather undiplomatic note last night. we'll have to see how it goes today. he goes on to cologne where he will be opening this mosque and protests are expected there, although a large rally has been called off for security reasons. but i still think that we will see people on the streets. >> all right. atika shubert, thank you. russian's foreign minister slammed the u.s. voechlts in v the middle east on friday. >> and he didn't stop there. nic robertson has more from new york. >> reporter: we have new details today from the russia foreign minister sergey lavrov about those sophisticated surface to air missiles russia said that it was going to start supplying to bashar al assad's forces and

those supply deliveries have already begun. he was one of the speakers friday and he took up a tone that we've heard from many that have spoken before him this week, he talked about and was critical of the united states without naming it per se but critical of its isolationism, calling it parochial and self-serving. he also went on to criticize the united states and britain and france for their strikes in syria following up on bashar al assad's use of chemical weapons back in april this year. and he criticized the united states for pulling out of the iran nuclear deal. this is what he said. >> translator: the u.s. unilateral withdraw from the gcpoa in violation of the u.n. security council resolution 2231, this despite the fact that iran is fully complying with its obligation, we will do everything possible to preserve the deal approved by the u.n.

security council. >> reporter: he also talked about the palestinians saying russia would support them, he talked about a situation in uhe dl -- ukraine saying that russia would do what it could to help alleviate the situation there, help ensure that there would be peace in the country. we have heard that before. but he also said something that we haven't heard him sort of put on the record in such a strong way before. he essentially said that nato was going to be causing problems in europe. what he said was that nato's involvement in the balkans was opening a new line of confrontation in europe, presumably here he meant about nato accepting montenegro to become the 29th nation of nato, 29th member of nato. so he seemed to be alluding directly to that. but that was very strong language from the russian foreign minister concerning i

would say to many european leaders to hear that language that nato is opening a new line of confrontation. he closed out his speech here at the unga by again getting back to his key topic that of criticism of the united states isolationism taking a direct shot it seemed at president trump by quoting president harry truman saying great nations lead by example, not by dominance. nic robertson, cnn, new york. coming up here, the sadness of a witness, anger of a supreme court knowledge knee. more about brett kavanaugh and his accuser.

easy to use... and filled with great advice. just like your dad right? yeah, just like you, dad. the brett kavanaugh hearings this week in washington and testimony by his accuser has resonated with people across the country and even the world. they highlighted the issue of sexual assault something so many women and men of course as well struggle with every day. cnn's brooke baldwin has this very personal take. >> i wrote something about all

of this today that i wanted to share with all of you. this matters. what we witnessed in that hearing was nothing short of extraordinary. put the partisan politics and the insults and spin to one side. i want to mark this pivotal moment in american history when sexual assault, something that doesn't often elicit more than a shameful whisper, is thrust into the open on national television. millions tuned in from home, from your mobile device, the subway, even a dad and a daughter in a chemotherapy session. this matters. yesterday morning the nation watched as christine blasey ford shared her truth. look at her. you can see the struggle, the pain. she didn't want to be there. but she said it was her civic duty. she admitted she was terrified.

all of this was all on television and a as it played out, i saw women here at work in tears. i had a young woman in my office wiping her eyes as she felt compelled after listening to the testimony to share her truth with me. i was texting with a dear friend who had been raped in college and is in therapy years later. for so many, this story has reopened deep painful wounds. during this hearing, c-span says callers flooded its talk lines to share their own stories of sexual assault. >> i'm a 76-year-old woman who was sexually molested in the second grade. this brings back so much pain,

but i thought i was over it, but it's not. you will never forget it. you get confused and you don't understand it, but you never forget what happened to you. >> this matters. listening to professor ford speak about her desire for a second front door to her home, an irrational need for escape many years later. the pain a for her and millions of men and women is deeply scarring. this matters. according to the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization, every 98 seconds an american is sexually assaulted. one out of every six american women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. and incredibly only six out of every 1,000 rapists will end up in prison. we all have you are ou have our. waking up on the cold tiles of a hotel bathroom floor, the spiked drink, the uncertainty, the

shame. the thought i must have somehow brought this on myself. the silence, distrust and in-validati in-validation. this is a pivotal moment in america for all of us. this matters. this moment is bigger than politics. it is about mothers and fathers raising boys to become men. what good comes of all of this, what will we learn? it is a generational opportunity to better ourselves in how we relate to each other as women and men. this matters the most. >> many people are saying it matters, but again, many of the committee were like moving right forward saying that it didn't matter so much. but that has been called in to question and we'll explore it more in our next hour here on "cnn newsroom." >> thanks for being with us. i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. we'll be right back. if you're age 50-85 and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three p's.
