the odds. are an. odd. place. the odd. terms to. this is due to reading his line from berlin president trump lashes out at china accuses it of meddling in u.s. elections trump tells the un security council that beijing is interfering because it doesn't like his tough trade policy china or checks that charge also coming up a third of a woman makes new accusations of sexual abuse against u.s. supreme court nominee brad cavanagh the day before he faces a crucial senate hearing. also chance on the america puts on

a brave face says her party were just want to or key allies from her critics say of this could be the beginning of the end of the american era. plus also coming up in the next sixty minutes the perils of being gay or even pursue mitigate in nigeria what i'm looking good doing it they've done something i've come to power for example i've got i'm a gun cop. he was rounded up all the same along with other guests at a party report we were poured on how no jury is out of tune super gay people is ruining lives. and doctors say this man will die if he doesn't get a heart transplant within the next twelve months but he's in germany where there are fewer donors than in any other european country and we find out why. i am.

thank you so much for your company everyone well we begin our broadcast with u.s. president donald trump who has accused china of interfering in america's upcoming midterm elections trump made the charge as he chaired a meeting of the u.n. security council in new york he offered no evidence to back up the accusation but said beijing didn't want him to win the election because of his tough line on trade china has denied this saying it did not and will not interfere in any country's domestic affairs and on north korea trump said talks with pyongyang were making positive progress behind the scenes and that he expected very good news in the coming months and years all right let's find out how president trump's performance as the chair of the security council went down for that i'd like to turn to our correspondent others on that front naaman she is in new york for us alexander yesterday the u.s.

president's address drew laughs when he tells of his administration's achievements what was the reaction from those gathered today. well there was no laughter today we have to say and i was in the security council meeting and my impression was that we can describe the atmosphere there is very serious mood and the president himself seemed to be very focused to be very restrained he stayed pretty much on message on script however at the same time what was to most remarkable thing about this security council session was the fact that it's once again exposed the deep divisions between the united states and its closest allies such as great britain or friends on topics such as the iranian nuclear deal or russia's role in syria all right well let's talk about that other thing that everybody is talking about

a sense that opening address president trumps allegation that china is meddling in u.s. the midterm elections against him let's take a listen to what he said exactly and then we'll pick up from there. regrettably we found that china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight teen election coming up in november against my administration they do not want me or us to win because i am the first president ever to challenge china on trade and we are winning on trade we are winning at every level we don't want them to meddle or interfere in our upcoming election what is so remarkable on is that on choose a president trump use his address to the general assembly to bash china over intellectual property theft and tariffs on us and now this accusation how sour our

relations between washington and beijing. well we have to say that this is really a bombshell. president trump has talked about this before that it's that was not only russia to meddle in the u.s. elections but also all the extras such as china but to accuse china in such a high level meeting on the wool stage while the foreign minister of china is sitting at the very same table it's really remarkable and that's really unusual and i would assume that president will be facing a lot of criticism here in the united states for doing it without presenting any evidence for his claims and even because he's own intl community is saying that it's russia who is the bad the worst actor here and not china all right now the

town as illustrated there has been at times blistering but then there was this. but most importantly i believe that chairman kim jong un a man i have gotten to know and like wants peace and prosperity for north korea many things are happening behind the scenes away from the media which nobody know what they're happening nevertheless and they are happening in a very positive way so i think you will have some very good news coming from north korea in the coming months and years so i know we don't have anything tangible substantial agreement ought to support that belief that he is saying that he's expressing there yet he believes korea will once piece it iran is abiding by all the terms of the nuclear deal and the shunned by this president

how is he scoring that circle. well you know that the president the president. of the best a deal maker in the world and i think these remarks today reflected this belief and it is a really radical shift from threats last year to this flood three this year however as you said we have not seen any evidence yet that north korea is really committed to a complete new close ation of the korean peninsula so it might be that president is too optimistic and it was actually the french president today who said the dead we need to see evidence that north korea is really committed to didn't include his ation alexander phenomena thank you so much for your continued coverage in new york and staying in the u.s. new allegations of sexual misconduct have surfaced against supreme court nominee

brett kavanaugh for a third accuser claims she witnessed sexually abusive behavior by kavanagh directed at girls at high school parties they attended in the early one nine hundred eighty s. the woman also says she was gang raped at one such party although she didn't accuse kavanagh for taking part this comes just one day before a critical senate hearing at which cavanagh initial accuser is expected to testify . all right let's go live to washington washington now where our correspondent my a shredder is following this very fluid situation at the moment my allegations are coming in fast and furious just out of tomorrow's crucial senate hearing talk to us about these new claims what is this third accuser alleging happened. these accusations are salacious and horrifying if true i should note that we have not independently verify these and it would be extremely difficult to do so these

were allegations that have been made in a sworn declaration which means that it can be used as evidence if it were to be presented in actual trial this woman whose name is julie sweat nick says that she attended at least ten parties with brett kavanaugh in the early one nine hundred eighty s. and that at these parties kavanagh would become belligerently drunk would often groper rub up against women without their consent and that there were also efforts at these parties to attempt to drug women or get them extremely drunk such that they were incapacitated and as you said there were allegedly gang rapes that happened. and this is all as you pointed out coming just before this testimony is expected tomorrow and has really thrown a new wrench into this confirmation process that republicans and the president were very much hoping was going to be an easy smooth sailing situation for them we're

going to talk about that continue talk about that in just a second but first a judge kavanaugh house released a statement in response and president donald trump also defended cavanagh before and he has also weighed in on this third allegation what have they said. both of both men have said varying variations on this is all completely false and these are false accusations cavanagh released as a few moments ago a statement saying that these accusations are from the twilight zone and he doesn't know who this woman is. trump of course defending his nominee and as we all know trump really does not like being associated with quote losers and he really wants a win on this particularly because this is the republicans chance to control the supreme court so both these men are very much sticking to their guns saying that these accusations are all false we saw both cavanagh and his wife sitting down to

a primetime t.v. interview this week which is really unusual for a supreme court nomination process usually nominees do not talk to the press at all but as we've said both men are very much sticking to their guns and trying to push this through they want to win but a win at what cost my church cavanaugh is testifying tomorrow over other sexual misconduct claims i mean can't kavanagh's confirmation still go ahead. well it certainly can as long as the republicans stick by him they have a very very slim majority in the senate which is the body that ultimately has to confirm him and the judiciary committee has already announced that they're going to be voting on friday the day after this testimony is due to take place whether or not to advance his nomination to the full senate so it really looks like no matter what is said tomorrow they're going to go ahead with this vote and try to push this to the full senate and push this through in conclusion very briefly if you can i mean is that you appear at all divided on this issue. well we actually heard just

a few moments ago senator jeff flake from arizona who has indicated that he has not made up his mind on this issue we heard him saying i want to hear this testimony and really indicating that there are many different parties within the republican party is what to do about this there are of course those who say no this is all falls we have to get this through and there are many others who say we need to listen to what these women have to say my shrader reporting from washington thank you. all right let's bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. the wife of malaysia's former prime minister has appeared before an anti corruption agency crossbowmen store was questioned over the alleged misuse of a milk teet bill billion dollars state investment fund police found luxury goods and cash during raids on apartments linked to the family shortly after husband.

election defeat in may. india supreme court has upheld the legality of the world's largest bio metric database but it has imposed new restrictions on how the personal details of more than one billion citizens can be used the program has led to years of legal challenges and triggered debates about privacy and digital governance. a russian member of the empty kremlin activist group pussy riot has been released from a berlin hospital peirce versa law believes he was poisoned by russia secret service work investigating the deaths of russian journalist german doctors say it's highly plausible he was poisoned but can determine how it happened or who could be responsible. and staying in germany has the uncle americal suffered a serious blow when members of a conservative bloc rejected her personal choice and close ally as their leader in parliament and it came as

a surprise both to the chancellor and to the political establishment here in berlin miracles opponents believe it could be the beginning of the end for her thirteen year long chancellorship. the german government's weekly meeting chancellor angela merkel getting to work but is it really business as usual it's the day after the biggest defeat of her career her party's parliamentary bloc ousted their longtime leader and one of marco's closest confidence until now the new party whip was only known as a financial expert he's expected to both stop the conservative parliamentary group self-confidence but this will put tonsil america in an even more uncomfortable position says one conservative m.p. i think that she has to counter with affection group that is more self-confident and i think now we gain back a bit more independence and i think that is. slightly challenging because

the chancellor will need to fight for her own positions the new group leader promised to listen closely to the input from constituencies and try to downplay the significance of the vote for image off looking forward to working with a long article as has just been explained there's no daylight between us it will be a close and trusting cooperation just as i've had with in recent years. you know. if you are before the vote i'm glad machall had urged the conservative m.p.'s to support her qaida but to no avail the majority wanted to change the german chancellor acknowledge the outcome is a defeat. that is standard to do this is democracy and that means sometimes you lose a vote there is nothing to gloss over but i want the parliamentary group of c.d.u. and c.s.u. to be successful and therefore i will support i think houseware of a possible. catfish and all opposition parties declared kouddous defeat

a clear sign that markets time as chancellor is coming to an end coalition partner the social democrats are calling for a return to serious work. mind also if this guy urged seriousness in politics we have a global political situation that is rather chaotic germany cannot afford to gamble on the contrary we are an anchor of stability also for europe him and i expect this seriousness from both the social democratic as well as the conservative parliamentary group. but this will take some time yesterday's vote has shaken anglo-american skin surfaces more than expected. all right so let's bring in now our political correspondents maximally on a course good to see you max they're trying to put a brave face on how is that going down well as you just said. watchword in berlin these days is business as usual back to business nothing to see her just move along let's go to work and it's working so fine at the moment as we've just

heard at the beginning of the week that that was something merkel already had said the german chancellor had after the latest crisis regarding the domestic intelligence. and already said we need to go back to making the voters' concerns being heard and we need to go back to just talking about the politics and the political work that we want to get done in parliament and so in that regard everybody in government is kind of seeing this just as a little hiccup but of course the implication is how can they actually put their policy through government policy and in the upcoming weeks and months so why is it so difficult for this coalition to govern. because well recurrently seeing is in the government coalition of faith parties both the two conservative parties the c.d.u. merkel's party where she's a leader of and the vivarium conservatives of the sea as you as well as with the social democrats of the s.p.d. that all three parties have been going through in the last year

a certain degree of leadership struggle and a certain degree of having to find out what they really want to do so first of all we have the s.p.d. the social democrats which have had an array of leadership struggle just finish that off but still kind of not really knowing as a junior coalition partner where they're standing what they want and then the conservatives in the very of the seas you head into election in their federal state and the varian two weeks where there's also expected with their current decreased polling results that they will have a leadership struggle after that and then merkel what as we have seen yesterday where her own faction in parliament isn't following her recommendation on which the person she wants as the faction leader so we see that there's also a shift of the base is the backbenchers challenging the charge of the chancellor and with all these properties not having the backing of their backbenchers in parliament it's difficult for them to put their policies through with in as a government coalition now some macs have described word happened as an affront to

. america what does this all mean for her position. well it's certainly going to be interesting to see how she's going to come out of this in the coming popularity polls merkel has gone through the latest prices in the last yes or. as the chancellor not quite unscathed through the polls she is still the second most popular politician in germany only her foreign minister high command is currently more popular but with that her bed even the latest crisis in summer with the asylum policy issue with going to have so had where there are new teary mr also on the question of the domestic intelligence service cheve none of this has really decreased her popularity so her position seems to be still quite stable and despite the fact that everybody keeps talking about this being the demise of her the latest on that will still be seen when merkel is going to go to the next part of conference this. are i to maximally kosik thank you so very much.

and you're watching the news yourself a lot more to tell you about including. doctors say that this man will die if he doesn't get a heart transplant within the next twelve months but he's in germany where there are fewer donors than in other european countries and we find out why that is. that's coming up a first the days of cheap money may finally be coming to an end at least in the u.s. gart that's right the u.s. federal reserve bank has announced it will raise interest rates overnight to range between two point zero and two and a quarter percent the raise is the third this year and has been spurned on stronger g.d.p. growth which hit four point two percent last quarter the fed has been slowing slowly tightening its monetary policy over the last several years marking an end to its effort to support the u.s. economy after the financial crisis the hike is a vote of confidence in the u.s.

labor commissioner has now made clear that ryanair employees have a right to get contracts according to the laws of their country of residence that could have implications for shift times holiday entitlements pensions and health care needs longstanding demands by the unions. europe's largest low cost carrier hires most of its staff under irish law even if they're not based in ireland that way the airline can give fewer vacation days observe shorter term anation notices and employ temps long term ryanair c.e.o. michael o'leary was in brussels on wednesday to justify his business practices to the e.u. but the response he got from the european employment commissioner will not buy into his taste. respecting the law is not something nobody which workers should have to negotiate and not something that can be postponed to a later date consumers workers and businesses rightly expect the u. rules to be obliged in practice the e.u.

here are gravely ill they're on a waiting list for heart donors six months ago and was told he didn't have long to live without a new heart. it's not clear how long they'll have to wait. in my case it will likely be six months to a year. i'm scared every day that i won't make it because i'm a pretty high doses of medication to see the medical. cost and say is an avid cyclist these days eleven years ago he had a heart transplant here at the lights at heart center back then the waiting list for organs wasn't as long and there were more donors that's. the biggest thing that's changed is the waiting time back then i was on the edge and waiting lists for six weeks today most urgent cases wait for six months to a year it's

a terrible development and people in the. german health system workers hope that so-called transplant representatives like dr steven layman can reverse that development the surgeon spends many of his working hours raising awareness among staff and relatives of terminally ill patients about the importance of organ donations. disappear with. noise we have to make people aware of this time and again because our daily task is of course to save lives and heal patients or and. when we discussed being a donor with people we've already gone beyond the normal workload of us is the new approach it gives us a new possibility to help by giving them a donation alderman's. the. forty eight year old and has discussed the subject of organ donation with his family he thinks the german system or organ donation only applies if someone consents to it in writing is old

fashioned and bureaucratic he says the opt out system currently in discussion is long overdue. i've heard that eighty percent of germans are in favor of organ donation. but only thirty percent have a donor card. i don't know what's wrong with introducing the opt out system and then people can cancel if they really don't want to donate their organs that would insure everyone thinks about the issue and it would certainly help a lot of people. with the suspicion feel. carsten say works at the association for heart and lung transplant patients he helps look after those who have undergone a transplant he's also campaigning for the opt out system he is living proof that organ donation is well worth it. all right washington when users have a lot more to tell you about including. the perils of being gay and nigeria this

man says he's not bad he was rounded up anyway along with other guests at a party where the part of how nigeria is out of shape to homosexuality is ruining lives. that on a whole lot more coming up in just a few. mugs . the world's most powerful intelligence agencies. working together on climate research. on the end of the cold war made that possible . the united states and russia and seems to offer changing the former foes became collaborators even though they could see the disasters that has come up. the morning. from the minute. nico is

what began as a documentary. to the problem by parents sacrificed everything for our care of our country and it. became a story both to seek. and. to. when paul came over the scene from cameroon to berlin and starts oct fourth on t.w. . great to have you back with us again you're watching you know we news on leyla rock n roll and this is the hour green story that we're covering this hour u.s. president donald trump has told the united nations security council that china is quote attempting to interfere in november's u.s. congressional elections he says it's because china opposes his trade policy and tariffs on chinese exports china has rejected the accusation.

in nigeria gays and lesbians face widespread discrimination men caught engaging in homosexual acts in the north of the country can be stoned to death in the south gay sex and same sex marriage can be punished with up to fourteen years in prison and last month nearly sixteen men were arrested for attending a suspected gay party in lagos our correspondent funny fish are spoke to some of those involved. i'm not very good. i'm a dancer james has watched this video clip many times the man in the video was at his birthday party he says but he was arrested before the party had even started it makes me angry because this is. i celebrated my bed. and. that was last month fifty seven people were arrested james who organized a party could flee but his life has been crushed my friend.

i am just. i don't know what to say. seriously depressed. being gay in nigeria is not a crime but the country has one of the toughest laws when it comes to same sex marriage and public display of same gender affection possible panel to up to fourteen years in prison. nigeria is definitely not a country where it's easy to start a conversation about same sex relationships let alone same sex marriage the majority of nigerians believe that this is a crime and they say the country will be. without al g.b.t. people such views are common on the streets. to me.

you know. i mean as in the out mohammed she's one of the very few nigeria who openly say she's korea she has become an activist for the rights of the community is that. think positive about the law in two thousand and fourteen it's put us on the table and it's allowed us freedom to tell our stories instead of having other people tell our stories but everything else has been negative like like the spike in abuse of people that criminalize ation association to criminalize action of just not fit into gender norms there is one change though since twenty fourteen there are now less people in nigeria who deny in public that homosexuality even exists but how many are willing to accept it as normal as in the wants to do

a test yourself if you knew about somebody's sexuality like if i had a girlfriend well actually i do have a girlfriend will you still sell me a shoe or you choose not to sell it yeah. i mean business it can be as simple as that some people just want to go about their business but i wasn't such a reaction is rare it's the first time she's experienced acceptance in public in nigeria. funny fish are reporting there from nigeria and garrett is back with some more business care we're going to eastern europe bug area is one of europe's major textile producers largely due to its low cost labor market the average wage for text is only about three hundred fifty euros a month that's peanuts considering that is an e.u. member so many young leaving the country to find better paid jobs elsewhere in europe got to chair in southern brogue area people in this region make their living

mostly from agriculture and tourism but many bug ariens also work in the textile industry german entrepreneur bet tom goldman has been producing close here since one thousand nine hundred three when he founded the company pier in texas. they produce men's clothing as well as women's fashion for luxury brands mostly sold in german stores. two thousand employees work here the average net salary of three hundred fifty euros per month is higher than other factories around the e.u. country. additionally we pay more than average because we expect more than average from our employees. like quality flexibility and adapting to new products and materials. it's two thirty pm time for a shift change employees have worked hard for their above average salary

a few years ago a strike shut down the production line one worker outside the factory though told us the salary still isn't enough to survive on. in the mind of instead of adjusting our salaries upwards they keep going down and. they have people who time our work then they don't work in the allotted time instead of motivating us and giving us incentives in the mylan what i meant. workers' rights groups are calling for change. the main headquarters for the union representing clothing and textile workers is located in the capital sofia it represents five thousand employees. in them all the. members throughout the country report that the standards of targets for sewing cannot be met in one day. they often have to work overtime. on the right move. appear in texas bosses

beijing is investing billions in sri lanka securing influence on the strategic island in the indian ocean but this reluctant government wants to loosen its chinese shackles high ranking delegation is in germany right now to encourage investments. pum borg and now berlin sri lanka's minister of foreign trade is on a promotional tour. german companies have so far invested around one billion dollars in tree lanka compared to the fifteen billion dollars china has invested since two thousand and five german involvement is still quite modest. yes here we are here primarily to attract what it needs. from germany and increase trade between doctoral countries. are very keen on improving. increasing i export to germany because that is the object to off our mission here. prolong his presidency racine or in office since twenty fifteen would like to reduce the

country's dependence on beijing in part to placate its neighbor india. and protesters back home like here at a protest against the planned port city project a new district has been erected on an artificial island in the port of colombo all financed by chinese investment the impressive animations are designed to get german and european investors on board. this is the first time doing a project like this. a lot of. do not have a full understanding. you know similar projects like this have been carried out extensively in the middle it's obviously asia particularly singapore for example and this has been shown to be able to spur development and progress of the country and therefore the welfare of the citizens of the country. german business leaders would like to strengthen relations with sri lanka starting this year it has its own foreign chamber of commerce in colombo. sri lanka at the moment. you must

try to tries to position itself as a trading help us well not only a syllogistic. several free trade agreements have been signed and entered into force the policy of the government is to open markets committed and to promote free trade very actively there are promising opportunities in the area of green energy the island's electricity grid is outdated almost fifty percent of the electricity comes from renewable resources including hydro power and one of the largest hotel chains on the island now relies only on solar energy. and that's only a business. jeremy and tara kara nearing the finish line in a race to secure the rights to host the prestigious twenty twenty four european football championship and john mcclain of did

a resource is here who to tell us who might have the inside track at the sea jonathan this might not be on everyone's radar but the euro is a big deal they are because after the world cup the european championship is arguably the biggest international football competition in the world it certainly you a for the european football governing body if you ate his biggest money spinner now in germany you have two very different bits because germany has experience of hosting major tournaments remember the two thousand and six zero cup where is tacky doesn't like is big three times for the european championships failed on every occasion so they'll be hoping it's a case of fourth time lucky. twenty twenty four is said to be a footballing spectacle twenty four countries competing in a total of fifty one games but who will host the prestigious event germany are regarded as frontrunners you wafers of valuation committee has already backed the bid the german football association see this as

a chance to follow up on the success of the two thousand and six world cup and they're clear on the benefits of their bid. we have the stadia the infrastructure the accommodation we also have great fan zones basically ready to host the euro. but a shadow looms over germany's bid the measure to. the arsenal midfielder's meeting with turkish president richard tie a bad one caused an uproar that eventually ended in israel retiring from the germany national same he accused the german football association of racism and discrimination. could that be an advantage for turkey the country is confident its bid can stand on its own turkey's footballing culture its modern stadia and even president add to one's passion for the game. after three unsuccessful bids this one is meant to click. around everyone can

see we're ready to host the iraqis we love football we deserve to be the host of. football's been played in turkey five or one hundred years it's part of our lives here. but financial instability and the drop of the lira could put turkey's bid and potential profits in jeopardy. europe's governing body has sent out mixed signals they have set clear requirements including on matters such as human rights and freedom of expression on the other hand you a for expects huge tax breaks from the hosts. its executive committee is made up of twenty members. the german and turkish representatives can't vote one member netherlands prague has publicly thrown his support behind turkey. in case of a stalemate you wait for president alexander schaeffer in will break the tie

something he will lean towards germany as it stands it's all up in the air the only certainty the bid for euro two thousand and twenty four is going to be a close race. a close race indeed jonathan but jeremy appears to have a slight edge why have you a fair valuation report was very favorable to germany it really didn't pick out many problems the tour de france he said the german bid was about very high quality now a lot of that is down to the stadiums and infrastructure already being in place in fact all the stadiums apart from just a door for use and it's two thousand and six contrasts that it's actually a couple of the stadiums need to be rebuilt concerns also about whether there will be enough accommodation for fans also transport links as we heard in the piece the leader of the turkish there has been falling a lot of big infrastructure projects have already had to be cancelled and so on paper the german big doesn't strong growth but as we heard the message of the fair is casting a cloud over things really didn't paint the german football federation in a very good light lights and recruits

a lot of soul searching really about how people from a different background are treated in this country all right well let's talk about turkey they've had kind of a rocky political couple of last years do you think that might actually work against them i mean they're clearly passionate about soccer yeah they especially president obama that two thousand and sixteen coup he really cracked down on dissenting voices after that and i think human rights was the biggest question mark you a for had in that report in fact he said the lack of an action plan in the area of human rights is a big concern but if it was dismissed rolled out they say the perception from outside of turkey is all wrong it's actually a stable country and they may point to assess an irony given the whole does the us down there because there's a line in the german big book about one scene football to unite people no matter what their backgrounds are so they could argue that the german football federation boasts about its values of tolerance and respect but only when they suit it all right well they are very persistent i mean you know you pointed out they what big three times this is going to be the fourth time do you think that this will be

of his life he's the first celebrity to be locked up says the downfall of media mogul harvey weinstein and the start of the two movement. a day of reckoning for the man millions thought they knew bill cosby sentenced to at least three years behind bars before he can even apply for parole. his victim andrea konstam said he drugged her and sexually assaulted her in two thousand and four some sixty women have made similar accusations against him. outside the courthouse some of them gathered with their lawyer to hail the sentence but i'm very. i'm not in a support group all my friends from his kirk lippold like him could go on with this is just going to show them that they can make it through and that there's justice. and how that. caused his defense team say

they will appeal the court's ruling they claim his conviction was based on falsified evidence and racial bias he corrected mr karr's been no their god is watching over here oh he knows these alive they persecuted jesus and look what happened not sam because it is jesus but we know what this country regardless black leave the future of the eighty one year old cosby was denied bail during the appeals process instead he embarks on a life far removed from the fortune and accolades that accompanied the height of his career. well to talk about this case and the wider implications of cost these jail sentence is our culture editor robin merrill i get to see a robin i mean i grew up as a latch key kid not come home and watch the cost of the show and aspire to have a family like that i know he was called america's debt so this is a huge shock for americans but arguably also

a shock around the world are absolutely the cosby show was the biggest show in the world well in america in the nineteen eighties and it was syndicated through the course calls been self a disorder a lovely cuddly funny dad you know and. in fact it was based on jokes he made in his standup routine the jokes he made about his his real family he was he is a father of five children for me personally i remember when my kids were born i bought the book you know the fatherhood book that he wrote which is very good has to be said and to tips from it it's a complete full of grace full possibly i mean one of the most popular figures in the entertainment industry i mean is this arguably a milestone in the for the me to movements is it started i mean some would say that although the cosby case really came to light four years ago the need to move in is new year old. in twenty fourteen is when hannibal barrettes another comedian

in his stand up talks about cosby being a rapist this video of him went viral and it in bold in their constant and other has to follow a state suits against it i mean indeed and very calm stand have gone to the police also the rape happens in two thousand and four but nothing really happened i mean to answer your question about the mitsu movement that in the times up campaigns mean that such acts use ations that will not be will be will be taken more seriously in the future let's have a look back at the mitsu movement which as i said is just about one year old. women take to the streets in chile a popular revolt against sexism in society and violence towards women was this man the trigger harvey weinstein is taken away in handcuffs the once powerful movie

boss has been charged with rape the wall of silence that once protected him and men like him has been broken. the meteor movement is really a wake up call i think it's something that fortunately because of social media there's a way to get the word out and to share stories in an immediate sense. a sexual abuse scandal even the swedish academy in stockholm the nobel prize for that show will not be awarded this year as a result across all industries cultural political only big business women are speaking and men are being forced to face up in the arts as elsewhere female representation is seen as an underlying problem when you ask about the power of women in culture it's a very very difficult says problem to solve because when you look at all the

statistics women are really disenfranchised from being sort storytellers so overall when you look at media production it is a very very male dominated industry and the stories that are being told are most often about men. the time seems right first social change but can the me too and time's up campaigns bring about lost in change both real significance. in. so robin can they bring about lasting change in the entertainment industry i think yes and no in that no i still think it will be dominated by men which is a shame but i think i don't see that changing very much in the next years however we mustn't forget in the last few years the been lots of roles in the film industry let's take an example for strong women just an example would wonder woman last year big hit also directed by

a woman patti jenkins what has changed is the death and hopefully the burial of the caustic couch. and powerful men in the industry are using their power in a predatory way i think that has changed and will change even more and what starts in the entertainment industry is actually spreading throughout the societies in the world i mean we saw in the in the piece pictures from chile but we've got pictures here from china where the me too movement is taking off is gathering pace although of course the authorities are trying to clamp down on it that some very brave women in china speaking out for women's rights indeed the me too movement is gathering pace a lot in india as well all over the world so i think things are changing but i think there's a long way still to go there is a long long way to go but it's gathering pace and we're better off for it sorry thank you so much from greatly appreciate we can go to our website for more on that
