she says he tried to rape her when they were both teenagers she also repeatedly stated that she is one hundred percent certain that capital was her attacker testimony comes a day after a third woman accuse the judge of sexual misconduct in his youth judge confidence rejects the allegations he's due to testify later today and says not to and from dr ford's opening statement. i am here today not because i want to be i am terrified i am here because i believe it is my civic duty to tell you what happened to me while brett kavanaugh and i were in high school i have described the events publicly before i summarize them in my letter to ranking member feinstein and again in a letter to chairman grassley i understand and appreciate the importance of your hearing from me directly about what happened to me and the impact that this had on my life

and my family. so let's get more almost from d.w. correspondent. in washington a welcome. how let's let's talk about whether today's testimony will change the minds of republican senators who have stood by judges this far. this is a very good question and of course this is going to be what everyone is watching for now we should say that beforehand most republicans have already made up their mind of already indicated that they are going to vote for george kavanagh to join the supreme court but there are three republican senators who have indicated that they have not made up their minds or various reasons one of them is jeff flake of arizona who gave an emotional speech on the floor of the congress yesterday calling for people to act humanely towards both dr ford and judge kavanaugh and the other two are senator collins of maine and senator murkowski of alaska and both of these

are both of them are women who are very pro women's rights very pro abortion rights and they have had concerns already before these accusers came forward over what sort of judge cabinet was going to be and now with these accusations that have come out and with this testimony today all eyes are going to be on them and stay with us if you would amount to much weight on capitol hill in washington with least professor been called in from buildings bard college he's an economist and u.s. political analyst welcome so we've heard a little clip of christine blasi forward giving evidence if she still giving evidence and facing questions and a lot now rests on. convincing people of her credibility i really do not think that's the difficult part her testimony at the beginning. was very emotional very sincere there is no doubt that she is reporting i think in

the minds of most of the viewers that there was a sexual assault i think the republicans got themselves into trouble by having a prosecutor trying in five minute segments that are constantly interrupted. to ask questions so the attempt to sort of undermine her test. the money to kind of show oh she doesn't remember this she changed that part of her testimony which would be part of undermining. a witness it's coming in bits and pieces and it's not going to it's does not apparently right now seem very effective but i you know we still have other senators to ask questions senator harris from california is an excellent questioner will see. what will be revealed i mean this testimony is not over yet so just just to be

about the full amount we have a panel of statuses from both sides of the house republicans have chosen to ask their questions and it's the eleven republicans chose to ask their questions through one prosecutor that's right but it's the way it goes is it's first a senator from the republican side then a senator from the democratic side so the five minutes go to the prosecutor they're able to say ok she'll ask questions on my behalf but then if she gets interrupted by then democratic senator who gets his or her five minutes of questioning i just quitely the this is essentially parties i'm questioning the republicans want to undermine the democrats want to support a and c. capital removed. you know partisan on this. i hope there's someone out there and i think there are some of these senators are generally interested in the truth and the truth does have

a democratic bias in this particular case but the final word. on capitol hill. the president of the united states has a dog in this fight he has about a judge so far but it's been easy quick ated over the last twenty four hours. indeed we saw a press conference where he said i hope that i don't have to withdraw his nomination we'll see what happens his usual sort of rhetoric around these things walking back but he has been very adamant that. these accusations are false and he even compared it to his own experience being accused of sexual assault . but it might be a miscalculation in that case is he's tying judge kavanaugh very closely to him in making sure that that comparison which might not be something that voters want to hear again we have to remind viewers this is all happening under the umbrella of

the midterm elections that are coming up and there's a reason why the republicans are taking the tact they are is because they want to push this through and get this guy on the court and that's one reason. why trump has been sticking so solidly by much credit come to him. in the studio thank you both. as to not just some of the other stories making news around the world china has hit back at u.s. president donald trump after he was the country of trying to meddle in forthcoming u.s. midterm elections a foreign ministry spokesman said beijing did not interfere in other countries in time of president from made the allegation on wednesday saying that beijing wanted to sway elections against his republican party because of his tough stance on trade everyone. the been violent clashes between india protesters and police in indian controlled kashmir process to strew stones from police fired tear gas and shotgun pellets protesters are angry about the death of a young man killed by indian troops last week rebel groups in the tariff ring of

been fighting since one thousand eight hundred nine for independence or emergent. police in slovakia have detained suspects in the killing of a journalist and his fiance. both twenty seven was shot dead at the home outside practice law in february the death sparked outrage in the central european country to investigated fraud cases involving businessmen with times ten leading slovak politicians. germany will host football's european championships in twenty twenty for the first time the country of hosted a major football torment since the two thousand and six world cup you know as much was made by you know european football's governing body you wait for this. the host of the euro to twenty four will be germany. seventeen members of us as executive committee decided that his latest attempt to

host the european championships would be no more successful than the last three germany will be hoping that they can repeat the success of the world cup tomans which was praised for its organization. more or less from a sports correspondent jonathan crane who's at the u.n. for headquarters in neil in switzerland welcome jonathan tell us about the reaction well fell like lake geneva but i mean the german reaction was pretty calm actually quite muted asked you how i jumped up and down and i think that maybe reflected their worries that this race was going to be a lot closer than actually it ends out but eventually reinhard grindle the head of the german football federation got on stage and he said he hopes the effects of germany winning this fight will be felt for all the way through german football let's listen this is true and it's a wonderful day especially for the professional and amateur footballers in germany . and we also know that a tournament like these can create an unbelievable sense of excitement among

children and youth. they'll come to the clubs and that too is a beautiful perspective and the clubs will be ready oh understood dolphins you want to find it. so back to don't think crane jonathan turkey lost this vote to twelve for with one abstention how much did politics how much or how great a part in politics play in this. well i think the margin of the german victory suggests that actually politics did play quite a big profit this in the end the. report that was published last week highlighted quite a few issues about notably human rights but also lack of infrastructure that's already in place concerns maybe there wouldn't be enough accommodation for visiting fans. so i think the executive committee obviously paid close attention to that report they're not bound by it but i think in the end they reflect that's reflected in the

margin of victory but not to take anything away from the german i think this is a big vindication for the german bits they prepared meticulously obviously they say that's one of the it could be hosted tomorrow because everything is already in place in or so of vindication of sorts perhaps for greenville him south he came under fire over the whole message. he was asked about that he said i'm not really for me i'm just relieved for the country as a whole doesn't crane in switzerland thank you. meanwhile president. bush from a hotel room here he's in germany on his first state visit so this is the elections president four years ago. german chancellor angela merkel didn't to ease recent tensions between the two countries. the turkish president's plane touched down in berlin with the winds of protest already swirling on the ground. the ones first state visit to germany as president will he hopes mend a troubled relationship and lead to closer cooperation. would also like to get

along better with ankara and has prepared a welcome which will include a state banquet in the presidential palace. but that does not mean all is home any as everyone was arriving the german parliament was debating the rule of law in turkey criticism of the turkish president came from all parties. it would mess with you all right the government is rolling out the red carpet for even though he hasn't changed his ways since july two thousand and seventeen absolutely nothing has improved in turkey and that's why i think holding this state visit now sends a wrong signal. to one. another one isn't here because he suddenly rediscovered his love and affection for our country instead his economy is in tatters he needs money and investment from business suits instead of those who are suffering from inflation and economic disaster for the ordinary people in turkey if i mention it.

on the streets supporters of a ready to show the strength of their feeling but they're likely to be numbered by critics of the president who say he has trampled on human rights five thousand police are being deployed around berlin for this visit and a large area of the city center is on lockdown the next three days promise moments of extraordinary strain for security officials in berlin and cologne where the one is due to open a mosque on saturday but also strain for the politicians and diplomats who want their message to be heard by the other side. well did the reporter say that is in balance quote spread to strict one of the largest turkish communities in the german capital a welcome to how people are feeling about the president's visit. well the turkish community is divided about president are the ones visit some of them

find the visit good they are happy that president are no one is coming they believe that he has modernized turkey but others are very critical of his visit and of president aired on they believe everything that he's doing against human rights. is really a bad situation in turkey they're also criticizing him for his policies in syria so there are a lot of a lot of issues with the people here are criticizing him for so the turkish community in berlin is divided into two i'm one of them sorry about the strained political relationships between germany and turkey. well of course when the when the relations between turkey and germany are strained it to its affect the community here in berlin and here in germany. if we remember the remarks that president are due on may just calling telling saying that germany is using nazi methods the people here the turkish community was was hurt by this and they of

course prefer the two countries to have better relationships with each other so protests against the president of planned over the next few days his supporters coming out as well. well every time there is a big anti ardo on demonstration his supporters are also there to to support him however this time there are going to be multiple demonstrations in berlin one hundred thirty organizations are coming together to deal to do these huge demonstrations of the biggest one is going to take place in berlin tomorrow so we are. going to see a lot of people the police the expecting more than ten thousand people to come to these demonstrations but interestingly mr will not address to his community say here in berlin instead he's going to cologne on saturday i'm just explaining the decision and how it's going down. well one of course one

sees here he wanted to talk and he wanted to give a big speech as he did in previous years when he was a prime minister but of course that had also caused a controversy in the past years actually even this year when the presidential and the parliamentary elections were going to take place and all wanted to speak in germany he wanted his ministers to speak in germany but germany said no you cannot make any political statements you cannot make any political campaigns here in germany and this time no one said he is not going to make a big speech but still he will be speaking to five thousand people in cologne while he's opening the do to the mosque so it and he is going to make a speech at the end good to do something for that to say to said thank you. now on one of germany's industrial giants is planning to split into if you've ever got into a german elevator or no elevator anywhere in the world you may have seen to cope

with on the inside if you will worried about your bride german industrial johnson is in for a ride set to split its holdings into two separate companies company management confirmed the plans today indicating that specifics would be announced at a shareholders meeting this weekend one of the future holdings will focus on industrial goods and construction material production the other will continue to some hopes elevator and automotive component production for months now there's a been under pressure from its investors to speed up its restructuring efforts its stock rose seven percent and you just. that's good enough reason to pull it down but it he's a very good stock exchange investors seem pretty happy about this one. yes the share price has taken the elevator up to a seven week high and that is because investors do believe that the parts of the

company are going to be worth more than the entire unit especially the elevator sector is expected to perform better the two separate companies are going to be floated the stock market this has been demanded by some of the major shareholders off to us and coke for quite a while they've been worried about the company's bottom line and demanding for more growth now this splitting up is exactly what they've been looking for recently we've seen this at other companies that the energy giant for example splitting up the bad parts of its business to focus on the the better parts that will now be more agile and hopefully more successful so we were talking about the it's been a rough few months is this finally the end of it the decision. well the decision isn't quite made yet it just needs an ok from the supervisory board and from

shareholders eventually about a year or a year and a half to come in the future. you mentioned it's been pretty rough both the c.e.o. and the chairman left the company in july there is a potential merger with tata steel to create the second largest steel company in europe but that hasn't been approved yet but this building splitting up into two is a lot better than just completely taking the company apart and selling it for all its parts which unions wouldn't approve off this they've already said they'd approve they'd be happy about this because the inputs the stage. the world trade organization is downgrading its global trade full cost for the next two years it's thanks in part to the. simmering trade conflicts around the globe the w t o expects world trade to expand by three point nine percent this year and around three point seven percent in twenty nineteen it's down half

a percent from previous full costs in a statement the w t o's cited free trade measures as prompting the move evidently a critique of u.s. president don't trump's trade policies. the international monetary fund has agreed to boost its learn to argentina the crisis package will be increased by seven billion dollars for a total of fifty seven billion dollars says i.m.f. managing director christina got also part of the deal is that doesn't tina will receive some of the funds earlier than shed told it a bid to restore confidence in struggling economy yards in time pay so has lost half of its value in currency markets since april with the economy caught in a vicious inflationary spiral the government agreed to a controversial austerity program to secure the extra support from the i image. and the us federal reserve has raised interest rates to a range of between two and two and a quarter percent the raise is the third this year and has been spurred on by

stronger g.d.p. growth which hit four point two percent last quarter the fed has been slowing its fun for example which over the last few years are hard names of its to support the u. ways economy after the financial crisis the hike is a vote of confidence in the u.s. economy by fed policy bosses despite uncertainty of world markets and that trade conflict with china the fed also signaled there might be another rise coming this year and up to three next year. a better fit. oh ben thank you so much well here in germany a series of anti semitic attacks and incidents over recent months of problems had discussions about how safe the country is for jewish people alicia kirsty w.'s that new program on facebook called what happens next which follows up on some of the stories that went viral and then dissipated lives that this week if in the speaking to a victim of anti semitic abuse that video showing him being threatened outside the

building restaurant in france went viral last year we'll take a look at some of the footage and then come back you. would need much. because. i would be able to work. we've got. kind of a. kind of a. kind of. time of distrust on. this show that thirty or caused outrage when it went viral and twenty seventeen what happened next. well phil of the man that we see in that footage to the asylum and he is a sixty year old man who works as a physical therapist in berlin and that video when it surfaced it really sparked a larger debate here in germany abboud to how widespread these acts of

anti-semitism might be here in of a country and i talked to the victim to your i find very who owns that restaurant in berlin and he told me that actually after all that media attention the number of behaved mayla that he received online actually increased and he also told me that sometimes people walled the book at table at his restaurant and then make references to hitler or they would mention dates and names of from the nazi era we can take a listen. from the reservation system sometimes reservation reservations from other fittler for example we get a lot of. phone calls with. also reservations from we are a group of fifty palestinians who come to you to join us and you're a strong so you can see the old guy trying to laugh at the whole issue off and he told me it's because he encounters this form of anti-semitism

almost on a daily bases and most of it is happening online so how german authorities handling these incidents. while it is believed that most incidents go unreported at least your high find told me of that in his case it's only like ten percent of the things that happened to him that he reports the reform process sometimes takes very long time of to for was plus journey plus those it's a hot forking the. wasting on reporting and then most of well basically all the reports that then so full were. were canceled for any reason some of them because they couldn't find. the people that was showing it to make it clear well no there was no consequences to any of the person that did anything. so for him the follow up has been very

disappointing and that might be the reason why other victims don't go forward and report such incidents of the police so what does all this mean for you right you personally you see planning to stay in germany well he actually moved to berlin six years ago and i asked him about it he said that he has no plans of moving to another country because he said in the end that there is anti semitism in other countries as well and if you leave germany that would mean that the bad guys have won and he doesn't want to that to happen and he insisted that the majority of the people live in germany a very friendly many have been very supportive also have been sending him messages of support have been sending him flowers and postcards and chocolates as well he says he's planning on staying in germany and continuing to run his a restaurant and of course our viewers can get the whole interview with your guy feinberg on our facebook page that is the w news and they can also find old episodes of from our new series what happens next thanks chris

i'm so another video that went viral here's a moment to seal slapped in the face with an octopus. i don't want to know. kyle milind was probably off the coast of cape coral and years ilands he said he could feel the full impact of this on his face when he when you as a lesson learned never get in the way of a seal i mean it's not. it's a monday and slot for the most of us and so here is more of itself the balance of the day.

i'm going. to need. to be in good shape our bodies conceal a hidden connective tissue called. sometimes i think patients in my click this who complain of all glow of back pain or new pain and it's very hard to make a specific diagnosis so i think maybe if the. facia treatment looks like and how it helps to relieve the. next.
