a human being guests restores their dignity he provides psychological care he provides legal aid because you have to be aware that rape as it is something where a lot of impunity happens that means even if the perpetrator is known they're not culture justice so you make sure that women get legal aid to actually sue and get convictions on the perpetrators you make sure that the women are able to find a living giving for example micro finance helping them to start an existence so it's a very holistic human mistake of pro-choice following and he has been treating over fifty thousand women since he started pumping hospital about twenty years ago wow this work has made him an a minus. yes i mean he doesn't only treat women holistically but he also calls out the root causes for this violence he says very clearly this is not an ethnic issue this is about resources the international

community failed to do to fight for stability and ease some congo the more in stable east some congo the easier to extract the resources rare earths especially call time which is necessary for all of our mobile phones for example and he's very he's very outspoken addressing the root causes and also saying that men have a role it's not a women's issue men who are not fighting that what is happening are in you main he says if you don't call it out if you don't call it rape or rape and are against it then you are accepting it so that made him a lot of enemies several of his bodyguards have been killed and we as a foundation also were protecting all our and so we helped them to build a new house inside inside the hospital compound so you are safe with his family to stay there good talking to you have thanks so much for telling us about the work of dennis mccuaig union cronan from the. from the right livelihood award thank

you thank you for having me. to the united states now a key republican senator susan collins has just announced the house she will vote in saturday's final floor vote on president trump's nominee for the supreme court but cabinet the facts presented do not mean that president that purpose or ford was not sexually assaulted bad night or at some other time but they do lead me to conclude that the allegations fail to be a more likely than standard. therefore i do not believe that these charges ten fairly heard that judge kavanaugh from serving on the court mr president and i will take him for judge cabinet. then q mr. only of the senate held it's

a first procedural vote in this business sense is about voted not only to advance his nomination fifty one votes to forty nine takes him a step closer to a lifeline appointment on to the country's highest court and this comes out to several women q just judged essential misconduct including christine blasi forward who testified before the senate judiciary committee last week for your. group. let's get more from the correspondence to from siemens in washington welcome stuff and so does it look like brett kavanaugh is going to get this job you know you've got it all you just played the clip with this it's over and it's actually getting better not only susan collins the g.o.p. senator everybody was wondering will she vote against or for brett kavanaugh decided to go with the republicans and vote yes for his nomination and confirmation

a democrat joe manchin also just tweeted he's going to vote yes for brett kavanaugh all that means fifty one senators will vote tomorrow for the confirmation of fred governor on forty nine will probably vote against it fifty republicans one democrat voting for brett kavanaugh so it's over all the drama all the thrills looks like brett kavanaugh come very lighter now and can prep for his new job on the supreme court so you mention that it has been dramatic. the supremes court nominations usually as rancorous as this or has this been particularly bad. oh this has been particularly bad and mind blowing for not only if you're a nerd and us politics this was something to watch the twists and turns i mean i don't i cannot recall anything like it not even the one nine hundred ninety one

clarence thomas nomination process where anita hill came out and accused him of sexual misconduct this it was very special and make no mistake this is a huge win for the trump white house and for the republicans they have their base now energized and stoked up a huge win politically and of course this will determine a lot for the next decades to come in u.s. policy when it comes to decisions regarding the constitution because this is now a solidly conservative supreme court seven seaman's in washington thank you. now here's some of the other stories making news around the world aid agencies in indonesia are warning that more than six hundred thousand children been affected by last week's earthquake and tsunami but ember of that has now risen to more than sixteen hundred eighty seven hundred others are believed to be missing. a jury in the u.s. state of chicago has found the former police superintendent jason found dyke guilty

serving a twenty year sentence in a siberian jail after being convicted on terrorism charges which rights groups say are politically motivated so itself has rejected selling food for more than one hundred forty days to highlight his demand for russia to free ukrainian political prisoners with the sense of supporters of launched an international campaign for russian authorities to the nation. the w.'s that ukraine correspondent is that nicholas that connally welcome nic why is oleg sense of case attracting so much attention. good evening phil well he has been in jail now for four years you remember this is man's a filmmaker who was a very vocal participant in the purchase here in kiev in late twenty thirteen and then when russia moved to annex his home region of crimea he was also very vocal in his opposition to that takeover and within about two months of russia taking of

crimea he had been arrested and was then charged and later found guilty of preparing terrorist attacks as the russian authorities say against russian targets crimea and also being a member of banned ukrainian national civilization. this is a case that isn't going away anytime soon this is a case that's still very present in the national magination here in ukraine the constant campaigns events and all the publicity around this and being a filmmaker this is also a case that is attracts a lot of attention from creatures around the world now he's given up his hunger strike does that mean he's given up on his demands from russia to free ukrainian political prisoners. not at all he said he don't need done this he says he's been put under pressure by the authorities in russia and that the doctors treating him currently had threatened to force feed him and to quote turn him into a vegetable to take away that little bit of freedom and self-control that he still

has he also apologized his supporters in a letter he passed to his lawyer today and seemingly going nowhere in terms of these demands but obviously this is a p.r. win for the russian side this very closely watched hunger strike is over for now but the doctors are saying that it's still fifty fifty as to whether he survives just because he starts eating again doesn't necessarily mean that he will pull out of this very serious situation for his health. thank you. the west african nation of cameroon is gearing up for elections on sunday eighty five year old president de paul hopes to secure his fifth win since one thousand nine hundred two but many cameroonians won't be able to vote because of worsening violence in the country's anglophone regions english speakers are a minority in western camera and glycerin separatists have been fighting for two years against government troops in the majority francophone country the violence

been displaced since the outbreak of the crisis in the english speaking part of it is a conflict that receives little attention and so there's hardly any help or eight for the victims right now we cannot bring him. into the airport we are providing them in terms of the quite detailed is the reality most optician where people are at the border need argent joe funding is the only problem. that need to be addressed the cameroon border is only an hour's drive from the camp. behind the border clashes are still frequent separatists took over villages and detect government troops and their counter attacks often target civilians this used to be one of the busiest roads between nigeria and cameroon but right now it's almost deserted. traders and taxi drivers on the border are worried about their existence . because of.

human rights because of the crisis hardly have any customers here back at the camp more and more refugees are arriving ahead of the elections the song volunteers to register them the fear of even more violence at home is significant and they can't vote here on sunday but in any case the song does not believe that the elections will bring about peace any more quickly. brazilians go to the polls on sunday in the most divisive presidential election for decades that's largely due to a controversial far right front from the. polls suggest he's now he now has a lead over his leftist opponent has many voters worried that a candidate who is openly hostile to gay people ethnic minorities and the

environment will occupy the country's highest office. the statue of christ the redeemer watching over rio de janeiro. from a distance there's no sign of the tensions simmering below. public discourse has become increasingly polarized ahead of sunday's elections the most controversial vote since democracy was restored thirty years ago. gay and just join the protests against the leading candidates in the polls. he thinks the far right outsider is a threat to democracy. i'm really afraid that both might win because if he does we'll have a civil war. because the movements like. him. still we won't accept it. i'm very afraid of what might happen in the main states where our militancy is very strong. and i don't even understand how

a person like both or not who can be a candidate if it can be proven that he acted against human rights in a country as diverse as brazil it would be such a shame. that the president of the. obvious thing also an artist who has the i am face the country needs to combat street violence and turn around the economy. but he's going to make things right people are confused thinking bring back tara that he's a soldier capable of killing that's wrong he's very organized and a say in this because i lived with a soldier and a soldier is organized. is that. not all vote for boston are one sunday because he's a candidate that depends family values. because it is the only presidential candidate that has not been involved in corruption scandals. i think a good team years of the workers' party didn't solve anything that i think it can

be free of corruption scandals can do a great job. you know if there was it because i like him and the plans that he has . brazilians are disappointed with politics many corruption scandals led to the prosecution of more than one hundred fifty businessmen and politicians including the most popular in the country. disenchantment with him and his workers' party makes a right wing populist known for sexist and racist comments lead the polls some observers fear that if both the naru wins the presidency but doesn't get a majority in congress he might back military intervention and seize all thora tarion powers. exist. about one third or one quarter of brazilians believe it so. ok to vote for a fascist. but i would some even think a fascist is needed to usher in a military government at the ballot box so it's up example some people really do

think that disenchantment with politics can sometimes lead to very violent ideas. you in perth divisions among brazilians could even deepen if the election goes to a runoff at the end of the month. how do i get this is here with your business updates and news of a new european summit to tackle an uncomfortable threat one that is just across the ocean fill economy ministers of the european union met in the austrian city of in spoke this friday they've been discussing what they can offer the united states to ease trade tensions and avoid a return to the tit for tat tariff conflict that could hit cars and other products made in the e.u. in july let's remind our viewers u.s. president on the trump agreed to hold back on his threatened twenty five percent import tariffs for euro europe european when they go she ations take place between washington and brussels. german economy minister paid god my are warned that time

was running out and called on e.u. members to find a solution to prevent a trade war with the united states. our goal is to fold first of all we want to complete the various trade agreements the european union is negotiating as quickly as possible and secondly we want to drive on the talks to find a common solution with the us so that we can prevent a trade war. the french foreign minister john baptista meone called for an overhaul of the world trade organization the w t o. we shouldn't respond by all flexing our biceps europe is committed to the reconstruction and the reef foundation of an international commercial order that is effective and efficient he said modernization of the w t o. austria currently holds the six month rotating presidency of the european union it suggested e.u.

countries could focus trance atlantic talks on regulatory cooperation like safety standards for cars pharmaceuticals and medical devices e.u. ministers are preparing themselves as best as they can for the upcoming meetings with the u.s. negotiators but all their plans may have to change in an instant depending on the whim of the hewas president. and we stay in the united states because the midterms come closer there and the elections as we know will be widely considered a referendum on donald trump's performance as president and as the old saying goes what decides elections it's to economy stupid that shouldn't worry the republicans as the u.s. economy is doing just fine as shown by most recent figures but the question is are average americans profiting as much as the companies. workers at online retail giant amazon in the usa now a minimum of fifteen dollars an hour from eleven. the company is growing fat in

prosperous times business is booming in the usa people are spending more companies are investing and exports are growing in the second quarter the most recent for which data is available growth was at a record breaking four point one percent that's twice as high as in the previous three months u.s. president donald trump has no doubt who's responsible for the sustained upswing himself but is that really so. unemployment in the us for example has been falling for some time be economic upswing began long before trump came to office under his predecessor obama critics also point out that part of the recent positive data is due to increased orders from foreign companies that wanted to stock up before new tariffs were introduced that showed up as an uptick in exports a one off effect that can be sustained. let's talk to someone who has

a close watch on all those numbers or is that always our correspondent from wall street hi alison reeses good to see you so let's start with the basics is it true that american companies are enjoying a windfall of orders by customers stocking up on deals before tariffs it. seems to be the case of your weaselly the with china for example we checked in greece the u.s. soybean imports before tarp's got activated but last august exports of u.s. soybeans they decreased significantly which means china now is buying layers of them up this same time some american companies are also raising to increase their inventories of a chinese products let's not forget that the latest round of duty is a ten percent of dong two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods or will increase to twenty five percent early next year and the ongoing heated trade war between the u.s. and china is also happening at a crucial time for u.s. consumers and u.s. retailers looking forward to that holiday so season to keep the economic growth.

now here's the reason look at the markets lower jobs that are dominated trading though why is job creation lagging behind company profit gains and most importantly is it a bad sign. delighted the latest jobs report a healthier was weaker done expected mostly because of seasonal factors like hurricane florence about numbers for july and august were revised higher with a total of eighty seven thousand extra jobs created corporate profits are increasing but so are sol or is only three tenths percent three tenths of a percent in september and an annual rate of two point eight percent but economists point out that the way to inflation could cross three percent as soon as a car and month which means that we full employment difficulty to feel open jobs and salary costs increasing those profit gains will start to suffer but probably we will not start really noticing up until next year possibly giving us the perspective there thank you very much for most. and that's all for business and for
