for the invite and that he talks about some really important matters with chancellor merkel and shimei and i'm sure this is how he is going to sell this visit back home in turkey as a success see also use the opportunity to call for better integration of the some free million people in germany living here with turkish roots and a call for the reintroduction of the double citizenship he also brought up the issue of soccer player missile. a really famous player with the turkish roots there was a huge discussion about when he quit the national team here in germany off to the world cup disaster so to say and basically said that it was wrong to isolate or discriminate against these turkish born players so this is an issue that his government him he himself has championed quite a lot in the past this discussion of rising. sin

damaged and certainly are the key infrastructure including a large bridge and the airport runway there have also been damaged which is certainly a further frustrating rescue efforts. as rescue efforts continue indonesian authorities are finding themselves facing criticism over the warning they issued for this tsunami why. yes so the meteorologist meterological agency issued a tsunami warning shortly after the quake yesterday and this was about thirty four minutes later. we draw on however there was a tsunami so far this. one parliamentarian today was sort of calling for the b. agency to be called to account because of course we have heard there were people still on the bay to the tsunami here. so indeed you know them they may face some

a week long delay before the full senate votes to decide whether he should sit on the court earlier a professor testified that covered all salted her at a party when the two were teenagers covered or denied the accusation. show me what democracy looks like a deal of high drama in roy motion in the u.s. capitol protesters hitting the streets to object to the nomination of brett kavanaugh to the country's most powerful court. i asked around the same time the battle a divided u.s. senate judiciary committee was pushing ahead with a vote to proceed to a calvinist nomination the democrats who wanted an f.b.i. investigation into allegations of sexual abuse against cavanagh were few ts. and the corridors outside the atmosphere was feeble and then a moment that me alter history senator jeff flake who had just declared his backing for cavanagh confronted by

a sexual abuse survivor. i didn't tell anyone in your telling all women for that matter that piecing this thing quite. telling me that my phone doesn't matter don't worry me don't think. that you're the only. thing. that. hours later the republican senator was back in committee and had found his voice offering to back the controversial nominee under one condition. i think it would be. proper to delay the floor vote. for up to but not more than one week in order to let the f.b.i. . continue to do an investigation limited in time and scope. with not dramatic compromise another flare up in the room and perhaps the country had been

a vast hit but it still needed the backing of one man i guess the vote was a positive vote for the seems to be a delay learn more about it goes the day goes on i just heard about it because we were together. he later. ordered an f.b.i. investigation. she left work fully took the underground exam away from the public the end of the day of reckoning. so that footage of republican senator jeff flake being cornered by two women in a lift is really resonating with women and men across social media hours of tape happened as we've reported said it's a flake insisted on an f.b.i. investigation into the allegations against governor and my colleague you know now joins me for more on that story so i knew what is it about what these women did that has caught people's imagination and attention it's it's the is the guts it's the courage to stop a u.s. senator in his tracks they stopped him for about five minutes and they made him
