get the latest from washington. germany's angela makyo holds talks with israeli counterparts benyamin netanyahu both stressed that iran must be permitted must never be permitted to acquire nuclear weapons but they agreed to disagree on the value of the nuclear deal with terror. and the migrant rescue ship aquarius is in the french quarter of must say up to its registration was counseled with the smock the end of privately run missions to save refugees from drowning in the mediterranean sea. welcome to the program authorities in the netherlands say they fended off a russian cyber attack on the un chemical weapons watchdog in april mosco has denied involvement investigators the. a car full of electronic equipment outside
6:02 pm
the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons in the hague and then left a trail of other evidence of chemical weapons watchdog says it has suffered quote increased cyber related activities since the beginning of the year meanwhile nato has joined with the u.k. and the e.u. in blaming russia for a recent wave of cyber attacks. this miles and friendly hunch akes on the second day of nato summit of defense ministers were overshadowed by news of a possible cyber attack by russian agents in the netherlands. nato allies expressed their solidarity with the decision by the dutch and the british government to call out russia on its plate and attempt to undermine international law and international institutions dutch authorities announced today they had foiled a cyber attack on the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons the dutch defense ministry said it expelled for russian nationals after they were
6:03 pm
caught spying at the chemical weapons watchdog but the defense ministers had other things to talk about as well national defense budgets were on the agenda with the us still pushing for other members to up their military spending but the term was less strident than recently the spending has gone up it is clear we are making progress this will be the fourth consecutive year of rising the fans' spending but we still have a long way to go nato is investing and he's keen to show the world what it's doing with that money soon it will hold its biggest military maneuvers since the end of the cold war in no way close to the russian border. area i spoke to the correspondent bantay you get who is in brussels where the nato defense ministers have been meeting and i started by asking him about the accusations against russia which have been just being leveled by the netherlands'. though all nato defense ministers tried to present
6:04 pm
a united front against the former cold war for russia and especially the british had fresh allegations the british minister said russia is acting like a pariah state this is very strong language rarely used here at nato and so it shows that there is anger and frustration among the nato members with russia because these allegations are not new this is a string of actions russia that is outraging the nato allies and they also the british also say that russia is working with international hecho organizations and this is an attempt to undermine western democracies and international organizations so with the accusations and counter-accusations flying around it feels like there's not much room for dialogue how do you see this playing out. but the diplomatic relations between russia and the nato members have soured over the
6:05 pm
last year is the recent years and they are at a very low point it's hard to imagine how they can get any lower the poisoning the poisoning of a russian spy in great britain in march diplomats very expelled intelligence officers they expelled on both sides so there is not much much left what can be done although the american minister of defense mr met has said that russia has to pay a prize they can of course you know and install more sanctions against russia but the military side there's not much to do although nato regards this action as military aggression against the airlines now banned we're seeing that it appears there's a massive coordinated intelligence operation between nato members here can you tell us well. there's a reason the is not need to try to beef up its n.t.
6:06 pm
is cyber defense capabilities there's a center in the baltics which is dealing with that and nato is about to establish an operational center for cyber defense that means that they will be not only able to defend themselves but only but also to have counter. measures against russia so to say to a tech russia themselves this is in the making and this will be x. think accelerated after this new experience that was due to brussels correspondent banned. as get the reaction from russia now and i'm joined by dig up a correspondent near drugstore each who is in moscow the rio grande how are these accusations going down in russia. while the russian government is basically saying with nothing to do with it there was no attack there lived a allegations are absurd they are talking about spy mania in the west and president putin has repeatedly rejected similar charges but i've also spoken to think tankers
6:07 pm
and the intelligence community in moscow and someone told me that washington is eager to impose even tougher sanctions on russia by the end of november so you asked me if russia has nothing to lose why should they why should we russians behave the way the west wants them to behave somebody else told me that the defense department is acting aggressively because they want the situation to become more tense as you know president putin said just a couple of days ago that he would like to spend less money on defense and the years to come so if this is true that is something that general to see in moscow don't like to hear and maybe this is the reason why they're acting so aggressively right now we have dropped thirty eight in moscow thank you. members of the u.s. senate judiciary committee have seen the new f.b.i. report and allegations of sexual misconduct against supreme court nominee brett covenant republican senators say the probe has found nothing to corroborate the
6:08 pm
allegations last week christine ford told the committee that she was assaulted by company when they was a teenager the chair of the committee says there is no hint of misconduct in the latest f.b.i. report now leading democratic figures have blasted the report saying the latest f.b.i. investigation did not go far enough senator dianne feinstein is a ranking member on the judiciary committee let me be clear i can't talk about the details because this remains a contradiction a part of the background report i hope that changes are made to move be able to talk more about what the f.b.i. did later but what i can say is that the most notable part of this report is. as we noted by the white house the f.b.i. did not interview brett kavanaugh nor did the f.b.i.
6:09 pm
interview dr. correspondent stephens the ones has been following events for us and he now joins us from washington also stephan no surprises i guess the democrats have slammed the findings of the investigation into supreme court nominee bret. yeah right you have right no surprise it seems the republicans are safe now and the three senators we had earlier and talked about in the last few days those wiggles senators flake collins and scar ski on the republican side seem to be a safe bet now for the vote in the senate which will probably end expectedly happen on saturday and up and down vote and with that the confirmation process of read cover now will be finished and mr cavanaugh will be supreme court judge of course as you pointed out the democrats do not like any of this and they say the f.b.i.
6:10 pm
report is incomplete and hasn't talked to the f.b.i. hasn't talked to key witnesses and key people who could shed more light on the sexual assault allegations against brett kavanaugh but here's where we are republicans say this democrats say this republicans have the majority in the senate mr kevin i will be it looks like it's a supreme court judge so stuff and i you think that realistically this f.b.i. report is not going to change anything regarding this. well. again. critical for the republican party is what those three senators whose names i just mentioned how they will. assess this report see what they think about the report the f.b.i. report and if they come to the conclusion that yes those allegations could not be corroborated by the f.b.i. and it looks like this that they exactly do this so with those three
6:11 pm
senators flake mccarthy and collins being solidly in the republican corner there is basically no way that the democrats can further stall this nomination process and the confirmation of that coming on stuff in washington thank you. german chancellor angela merkel has been meeting with israeli leader benjamin netanyahu as part of a two day visit to jerusalem now both are keen to emphasize strong bilateral relations that's despite disagreements on several issues including the iran you can't do germany wants to preserve the accords israel wants it to be scrapped but both merkel and netanyahu fave they agree that everything must be done to stop iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. during her visit to israel today chancellor angela merkel took time out to visit the holocaust memorial she laid a wreath and made a promise germany would always take

6:13 pm
told the president we agree with israel that everything must be done to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons even if we don't agree on the particulars we do agree that everything we do must pave the way to this goal so do. not despite any disagreements between the countries israel and germany want to continue working together to improve research and technology and above all they want to intensify the used exchange program. now to some of the other stories making news around the world international efforts to help survivors of indonesia's quake and tsunami a gathering after the government held restrictions on foreign aid remote communities on the island of. damage vote. is expected to rise. turkey has some one saudi arabia's ambassador over the disappearance of
6:14 pm
a dissident saudi journalist in istanbul. has had. on tuesday but has not been seen since kingdom officials just spirits claims that he's still inside. has. he was worried saudi arabia was seeking his arrest. now a privately operated ship dedicated to saving refugees and migrants from drowning in the mediterranean sea has docked in the port of must say the aquarius has had its license withdrawn so it won't legally be able to head out to the sea again it's part of a crackdown on illegal migration by its only but the operators of aquarius say it jeopardizes the lives of many refugees. this ship has meant the difference between life and death for thirty thousand people say its operators the n.g.o.s a wes military may launch the aquarius two and a half years ago the group says its work is vital. here and leave there is
6:15 pm
massive confusion in the mediterranean there's no real coordination to manage the distress calls and lead rescue operations. the aquarius is out of action and there are no other private sea rescue vehicles operating in the mediterranean. for other ships run by n.g.o.s have already been detained two vessels lifeline and sea watch three are being held in malta the ship you venta is stuck in the port of to pony in sicily all the boats have been to flag now the aquarius joined their ranks. before returning to its home port of mar say the aquarius transferred fifty eight shipwrecked migrants to the maltese coast guard this after italy refused to ship permission to dock following a hard line on migrants. now it's the right time because it's the cannot continue
6:16 pm
to be the refugee camp of europe. this isn't the first maritime drama aquarius has been involved in this summer it was forced to embark on a weeklong odyssey on the mediterranean several countries refused to take in one hundred migrants aboard rescued off the coast of libya spain eventually took the ship now its future is again in doubt s.o.s. military in a has asked several countries to let it sail under their flags so far they haven't backed the boat. but i joined by phil woman hall vice president of s.o.s. mediterranean gemini. and so mr taylor thank you for joining us the aquarius is anchored in musée as we've reported with other private rescue vessels but we're getting reports that another ship mary joining flying and italian flag is headed for the waters off libya is this another rescue ship yeah we received this message a few moments ago. actually we are really relieved that there will be
6:17 pm
a vote that there will be new people to witness the situation in the mediterranean we are not yet pretty here but if it's a rescue ship or if they will just opposite us but at least this region won't be black spots so my question would be country. maybe people who are going to be drawing would be prevented from this ship to try are. now as i understand you were actually a crew member on the aquarius at one point can you tell us what the conditions are like on board in the moment the mood this quite good even if everyone knows that. no the occurrence cond. go out to sea the sea without any slack but everyone is happy that the people who have been on board the last days had
6:18 pm
