this is. from berlin tonight for a second time he was president takes america first to the united nations rejecting globalism and calling on world leaders to give iran the cold shoulder we have all nations to isolate a regime. as long as its aggression continues. and we as grown nations to support the rands people as they struggle to reclaim. their religious and righteous destiny. threatened a second round of u.s.

sanctions against iran we'll have analysis of his address to the u.n. general assembly also coming up another blow for germany's chancellor angela merkel this man was the head of her conservative bloc in parliament but now in a surprise move against the will of the chancellor his own colleagues have. germany's catholic church apologized to the victims of decades of sex abuse a new report reveals that thousands of assaults took place over decades all made possible by. good to have you with us u.s. president donald trump has delivered a blistering attack on globalism in his second speech to the u.n. general assembly he said that all countries and should act in their own interests and he said that the u.s.

. would never recognize the international criminal court truck washed out at iran accusing its leaders of sewing mayhem in the middle east and enriching themselves out of people's expense he also said that iran must never be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb and he called on the international community to isolate the regime in tehran. with me here at the big table is nicole inverts he's an associate fellow with the german council on foreign relations he watched president trump's speech closely fores it's good to see you again the cold so we've got the u.s. president here nothing but strong criticism for iran and its leadership iranian president hassan rouhani has fired back and we've got here is a war of words were is this an escalation that nobody can step back from. when the policy off. has been. quite the same i mean he wants to see around in government changed its policies and they want the iranian

government to stop and all to a program they are not happy with the with india he called it horrible again. so i think he will not stop his policies on really trying to bring this vision down he didn't say region change but this is actually something he's targeting i mean he wants a change in policy he wants to impose sanctions and my suspicion is that even though if the opium stick to the deal it would be very hard for european companies to really you know with. tools operate there and absolutely and to to to stop their business with the united states is not an option it's not an option in his speech today he was he was urging other nations to follow the u.s. lead on iran a short while ago a different president mr mccraw and he made clear his position towards the iran nuclear deal take a listen. give me how the legally what has helped bring

a real solution to the situation in iran and what is already stabilized in the law of the strongest pressure from only one side no we know that iran was on a nuclear military path but what stopped it the two thousand and fifteen vienna record. so we there you have the european union iran are sticking with the iran deal but this is a delicate balancing act isn't it is because i think they both follow the same goal they want you ran your government to stop the nuclear program the thing is they want to achieve this goal with different instruments and the french president said no one is not enough we have to do something we have to do to get the iranian government to be more transparent to follow the rewards and we can reach this by monitoring their actions and the iran deal for the way to do so even though the

europeans know that the mint has a lot of flaws and right now with the with the idea of coming up with a new financial institution which would still provide for some possibility to do business with iran as well european union is putting together sort of today. do they see a way of offering iran basically tools to work to support they at what they want to reach and what about president trump in all of this do you think he would ever sit down with the bringing president rouhani and you know talking try to make a deal this is the interesting point even though they both exchange pretty hostile couric and. president trump has a national security advisor. mr walton who for years wants to bring down the iranian government and has an impact on what the president now says i think is

a very small chance that the president would not say no to a negotiation or to a meeting with one and vice versa of course you know that would mean that there would have to be some type of a decision coming from tehran as well which doesn't seem likely in the foreseeable future because rendered with the german council on foreign relations it was always we appreciate your insights thank you. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world in the u.s. television star bill cosby has been sentenced to between three and ten years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman back in two thousand and four the judge also declared him a sexually violent predator meaning that cosby must undergo lifelong counseling he's the first celebrity sent to jail for a sex crime since the start of the hash tag meet to movement the world health organization is warning that the ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo could rapidly spread in the coming weeks attacks by armed groups community

resistance to vaccinations as well as the geographic reach of the virus could create what they're calling a perfect storm where here in berlin a surprise result exposes another fracture in chancellor angela merkel's government lawmakers from her conservative blog have defeated her choice for parliamentary leader instead they've elected a critic of merkel's governing coalition ralph brink helps defeated longtime americal ally for her calendar by a vote of one twenty five to one twelve or had held that posed for thirteen years and he had never faced a challenge or ahead of the vote most observers close to the chance or expected calendar would win reelection. are less full in our chief political correspondent belinda creech is on the story for us tonight and he needs you melinda the key ally of chancellor merkel in the in the saga of parliament lost his

post how did that happen. because of intense divisions and dissatisfaction within the conservative bloc in parliament dissatisfaction with the fact that in the six months the government has been in power there have been continuing crises domestic political crises and in fact ever more divisions both between the conservatives and between them and their coalition partners also dissatisfaction with the fact that both parties in this grand coalition the social democrats and the conservatives have seen a continuing drop in their poll numbers if there were to be elections held right now in germany they would not get a majority and then ultimately dissatisfaction with the chancellor's leadership the person they defeated here was her absolute right hand man many people would say her yes man the person who will now be taking over the new group leader is someone

who's promising fresh initiatives and independents that is a clear statement on the part of this parliamentary group that they are preparing to challenge the chancellor well the main german opposition party the a d. is twittering busy being that it's over for marigold is there truth there. not only they even the chancellor's junior coalition partner the s.p.d. one of its leaders has also said essentially the same thing and i think in many ways this does look very much like the beginning of the end let's remember that parliamentary democracy is all about the parliament the parliamentary group of the chancellor's party is the foundation of her power and now she is essentially confronted not only to obstreperous coalition partners even her her but very insistent party. has pushed back a lot over the last six months but also potentially defiant parliamentary block now

the end isn't going to come overnight both the new leader made that clear he said look there's no daylight between the parliamentary group and the chancellor and the chancellor herself said you know this is politics as usual you win some you lose some but the fact is that indeed this is i think there's a quick yes definitely a seismic shift in the chancellor tonight our chief political correspondent belinda crean on the story force thank you melissa. well the head of the catholic church here in germany has apologized for the churches failure of addressing sexual abuse over decades and quote all of the pain that has caused officials have just released a report detailing thousands of sexual abuse cases here in the germany at the opening of a meeting of the country's bishops conference now the study found that priests had abused more than three and a half thousand children and teenagers in germany over

a period of seventy years the big sums were mostly male and were mostly children well over one and a half thousand priests are accused of committing these crimes critics of the study as well as the authors of the study they say that the true scale of the abuse is probably far greater mind boggling numbers here for more on this i want to bring in martin he is our religious affairs analyst and he's been covering this you know from the very beginning and. will ask the question again how is it possible for so many priests to abuse so many children for such a long time and not be stopped i mean most depressing part of this is for a live germany compare in comparison to the numbers we've seen just in the state of pennsylvania it's actually really quite a small sample group i mean we're talking about a fraction of what we have seen in other countries what is emerging is that despite you know besides all the lurid details and sort of really the true egregious nature

of the crimes we are seeing though is very clear pattern of a cover up and i think that you know one of the questions that has been asked and i think that it becomes more poignant as time goes by it's not really just where the church was and where the priests were and where was the government and the police and so on but you know where were the families where were the parents i mean and i think that what we ultimately are going to see is that you know the social construction of the church in which parents trust the priest. in which grandparents trusts the priest and the priests could not possibly lie and the priest would not possibly do that has now come into really a sense of deep deep crisis the hope of course is that out of that we will actually see a change in the policy of the church and the policy of the country in brussels getting those crime prosecutions i mean do we have any guarantee the prosecutions will nail follow no i don't think we do when i think that this is sort of the sub to see some

that you see reflected in the responses to mark's cardinal marx's statement i mean contrition you know requests for forgiveness because what we've heard that every time the scandal exposed for sixteen years we haven't heard sort of an endless parade of people sort of million open yeah i mean at this point the one element that i think it's worthwhile underlying which was said sort of today was expressed by marx and we had been said by the bold their regular after the pennsylvania report is that in fact this war crimes and this changes completely the nature of the process because if the church from its official capacity and its official authority recognizes that these are crimes then it has delegation to bring in national authorities so we can not really predicted but dare seems to be at least a change in the wind i mean in the region of the window you know the approach is still amazing though that what you're saying there is that the church reserves the right for itself to determine whether or not so while the views is a crime. very much so i mean it's not that it deserves the right to decide where

it's a crime or to report it reserves the right to report and you have places like the us where as a matter of fact there is delegations that fallen teachers you know health providers and so on do not fall in clergy so i mean these are the kind of things that you see in every country that really requires serious revisions are religious affairs analyst martin gak martin as always thank you you're welcome. and here is a reminder of the top stories that we are following for you u.s. president has addressed the u.n. general assembly in new york he called on all nations to isolate the leadership of iran is. what he called the corrupt dictatorship continues in. trump says that more sanctions will follow after the resumption of u.s. oil sanctions in early november and in another blow for germany's chancellor she has lost her top party ally calderon was the head of conservative walk in

parliament but now in a surprise move his own colleagues have voted him. you're watching news along. with more world news followed by the day i hope to see if. you've been fighting for decades to take you seriously in the world of what appears to come out. on t w. this superhero on a mission smart women smart talks smart station and legend. missed out on the brink recently dangerous to kill me.
