donald trump doubles down on claims against china telling journalists off the talks at the u.n. that beijing is meddling in the upcoming midterm elections. and yes another tends to increase the pressure on iran the u.s. need to launches an all out to rage against iran at the security council but faces united opposition from almost all of the states around the table. in the slow grinding who helped. get this deal together she's trying to hold

a deal together because she did it. washington's envoy to the u.n. makes a shocking press no attack on the use of foreign policy chief without his ations of ego and pride for trying to retain the iran nuclear agreement. plus crossing the line once britain's brags that coverage has gone too far after the sun newspaper dumps the bronx leaders to see routes. you're watching aussie international with me and welcome to the program. off to imaging from ted dillon talks at the u.n. security council donald trump has held a wide ranging news conference the u.s. leader lashed out at china alleging alleging its meddling in the u.s. midterm elections kellam open joins us now with the details. hello kaleb

so can you talk us through trump's news conference. yes trump is here in new york for the general assembly of the united nations and he gave a rare solo press conference here in new york city now during the press conference the majority of the questions focused on brett kavanaugh the supreme court justice he has nominated in the scandals surrounding him however he did answer questions regarding china he talked about trade and tariff disagreements with the chinese leadership and then he went as far as to say that china was interfering in the upcoming midterm elections in order to work against him this is what donald trump said about the people's republic of china. a significant allegation against the chinese government you suggested that the try to use middle in or are most right that's what i hear the term election that i hear what evidence do you have that sir

is there and we have evidence we have that ensued come out or i can tell you now but it came it didn't come out of nowhere that i can tell you now from there we also heard donald trump touch on the situation in syria's province of invalid saying that due to his intervention there had been a lack of bloodshed he also made reference to iran this is what donald trump said in reference to syria. i put out on social media and elsewhere i gave my pump john bolton everybody these orders don't let it happen i said don't let it happen. that doesn't mean they can't be selective they can't be you know go in they've got to do what they've got to do with terrorists assume the terrorists don't kill millions of people. and it stuck to you soon. now though the conference focused on brett kavanaugh and that seemed to be

where the majority of the questions were directed donald trump did talk about a good relationship he has with the leaders of japan the leader of south korea and other leaders around the world he also emphasized a desire to solve the issue between israel and palestine saying that he was open to both a one state and a two state solution whatever the parties involved preferred so it was quite an interesting press conference many watched many questions were asked. can him open life from new york thanks for the update. trump also had more harsh words around and blasted the twenty fifty new recording it's one of the dumbest ales and the nays he suggested to run will soon be looking to renegotiate the landmark agreements. this week you put out a call to action to other countries to rally with america to put pressure on iran rouhani still calling for the u.s. to come back into the old deal but after meeting with world leaders this week did

you make any progress towards a potential new deal doesn't matter what world leaders think going to run iran's going to come back to me are they going to make good you know the conflicts between trump on the iran dale unfolded and his meeting with the u.n. mandate is donald trump a prince the gathering by again lashing out at tehran probably hoping for a different response from yesterday when the audience chuckled at his serious speech he did get a different reaction but again not the one he wanted with almost everyone around the table hitting back insisting that the run is abiding by the clear up locations . reports donald trump who was chairing a new one security council meeting for the first time ever once again used this opportunity to leave the so-called winnie and nuclear deal in tatters and it seems that instead of trying to diplomatically convince other countries which by the way

this time were represented in many cases by heads of state mr trump decided to stick to threats whether that has had any effect on these countries for now see for yourself i ask all members of the security council to work with the united states to ensure the arabian regime changes its behavior deeply regrets the united states unilateral withdrawal from the agreement the decision with far reaching consequences that makes more on see bolivia could ignore equally condemns the you know actual actions imposed by the government of the u.s. against iran. we agree with the u.s. president's objectives on the run but we disagree with the math that's. a bind. it's commitments on the deal it remains the best means of preventing iran developing a nuclear weapon this is something we are actively working on together with china

iran and the e.u. so this u.n. security council meeting has been further proof that there is a deepening diplomatic well between america and pretty much the rest of the world europe in particular on monday a top diplomat federica moghul rini made it clear that europe wald to bend under american pressure when it comes to the agreement and the e.u. even came up with a way to defy u.s. sanctions through a special scheme for payments to keep doing business with iran now just before this u.n. see session began came a response to federica margaret any from the american ambassador to the u.n. and you may find the toll of that statement quite surprising the european union has the so wrong and it's all because of their ego and their pride. and their small

graining who helped. get this deal together she's trying to hold a deal together because she did it but she's not looking out for the best interests of the european countries who number one don't want to do business with iran so indeed this appears to be a direct attack by a senior american diplomat against a top e.u. diplomat i just want to point this out once again and washington has been sending this terror it on terrorists is his positivity about the economy misplaced given that the effects of the sanctions a yet it's ahead it's. i want to think that the the way that he's presented it is that there's not going to be any consequences from this insanely bad idea what he has not really appreciated what he has not really let the american people fully understand is this if you add those trade tariffs to steel you are going to drive up the prices of steel that's going to have one of two consequences

one possibility is that it's just going to make all the things that used to feel more expensive hurt every company that uses steel it mattes a lot of companies the other even more dangerous possibility is it will encourage people to use inferior substitutes this happened with sugar tariffs because of sugar tariffs we now have high fructose corn syrup in almost all of our foods i would hate to see what happens to buildings to structures when instead of using steel american companies end up using something inferior i think it's not just going to be an economic problem i think it's paving the way for a massive infrastructure problem as president i will do the exact opposite by opening up trade with all countries and now the focus was the syrian regime trump was responsible for the syrian mission pissing off this operation to retake it in a province what's the basis for that given that it was the wrong tackle and russia that were holding talks on the. i don't think there's any bresh basis for that i

think what you're seeing in the behavior is someone who insists on taking credit for anything that he views as positive whether or not it's positive you're seeing the behavior of somebody who has essentially shown himself to be economically illiterate and personally unstable and the american people have to see that that is not someone who has the character who has the ability who has the mental fortitude to lead this country his decisions have been one wrong decision after another ranging from blocking our access to steel to electing someone who is clearly clearly morally and nominating someone clearly more. for the supreme court he's the wrong person for this job we do not need someone who is both in favor of big government and in favor of all kinds of other lunacy we need someone who's going to cut government that's the type of president i'll be best at present are going to get if you vote for a libertarian thank you for your thoughts on the issue of in for a presidential candidate of the libertarian national committee thank you very much

thanks for having me on. the beginning of trump's news conference was dominated by questions about brett kavanaugh on friday the senate's judicial committee will decide whether they embattled judge it's nomination to the supreme court will be approved following a string of sexual misconduct allegations so far three claims have been made against the nominee since the first accusations came to prominence last week kavanaugh has been the top targets for trump's opponents even questioning whether a presumption of innocence should apply this was attempted rape i believe professor ford judge kavanaugh has lied multiple times she doesn't have an all have the same presumption of innocence as anyone else in america his credibility is already very questionable in my mind and in the minds of a lot of my fellow judiciary committee members the democrats i don't care about is lying that you're well i believe her let's put it that way there is credibility to

her story. the allegations are leading democrats to call for cavanaugh's nomination to the country's highest courts to be blocked this is not the first recent case of unproven sex like his ations damaging u.s. politicians career is republican roy moore lost last year's alabama senate selections following sexual misconduct charges ations from the nine women he sued three of the accused is also in two thousand and seventeen eighty eight year old civil rights legend john conyers resigned from congress following sexual misconduct claims from several women both politicians deny any wrongdoing on their say brett's coven i will give testimony on the claims against him he denies all allegations. throughout the process at a minimum the arming of the. waters hearing from both sides for rushing to charge. we invited guests to debates where the political motives may have been

behind the timing of the story and if the presumption of innocence no longer applies. we're convincing people who probably had no idea anything about this case or even that there was a supreme court nominee to suddenly think that brett kavanaugh is a monster based on these these these allegations these paintings of how he's been meanwhile all we have are the words of two people that's not to say that they are lying but we have absolutely no evidence for that and that is simply the complete opposite of what the united states constitution and our judicial system was set up to create so i don't think anybody is assuming that anybody's guilty but that doesn't mean that we don't have a responsibility to take victims of sexual assault and sexual harassment very seriously and i think that's what we're doing right now particularly as it applies to the misuse of power by people and in particular men in power in our institutions in this country so i think right now it's perfectly plausible and important to hear

out these women a lot of people believe some very important things in danger of being overturned and i think there's a some very serious implications there is not and i understand the role again general but i hear your. disagreements in the fear that roe v wade is going to be overturned but again these are more media allegations these are more allegations from from liberal stating that if trump has his people and if conservatives come in that then roe v wade will be overturned in all of this that's simply not due process of the american legal system or the supreme court they can't just come in and overturn laws there have to be cases there have to be precedent that this is politically motivated against cavanagh it has nothing to do with any evidence it's actually been brought forth the sides of besides allegations from two women all processes that bring about the interpretation the production of law in any society is inherently political trumps appointment of cabinet is political there is an agenda at play here this is a field of deceit are you mentioned that the legal status of an american in america

is actually contingent on political ideologies but in fact actually the code. judicial conduct itself which all judges and all legal process people are supposed to adhere to it why do you think our founders actually passed these things presumption of innocence there is no presumption of innocence right now in the media there's no presumption of minute innocence right now in the us media what i'm suggesting and what many people are suggesting is that we take this seriously and put forward a real process that hears out these voices and. puts forward the conversation as to do we want to put this person into this position is that who we want to represent us is that we want to have to have as we have that i as you are certain i worry about among so the point that you're making was that we need to listen to these voices the question is now going to is this going to be is this the person that we want in the in the highest office of our judicial system and the supreme court of the united states and so now we're already talking that he's he's guilty i think

the fault is more on the media it's more on some of the loudest voices against this by automatically assuming that he was i don't think anybody is out of course those aren't your voices of it those are voices from u.s. media still to come on america's national security advisor and risk courting for iran to be cut off from the international global payment system more details in just a few moments time. the democrats are not socially liberal they are pro-war and so are the republicans and the problem people have with trump is that he's pro peace and that's not acceptable in america today that runs except for against iran. well you know the top dog is walking the walk and you know you have to do it you have to do

but he's not actually going down the path that hillary clinton clearly was going. the wrong thing you know we need to go back to invite more foreign forces that's not so position that's also the position of the government that's the. song goes in the new keys even if there is a number of contingency they've got to go back one day to the to the country. and. welcome back to the program returning to the escalating tensions between washington and serrano the u.s. national security advisor launched

a scathing attack on iran on choose day demanded that the independence swift payments system on which banks around the world rely holds business with the wrong . banks and financial messaging services such as swift must take a good hard look at their business with iran and ask themselves whether it is worth the risk you know the european union is strong on rhetoric and weak on follow through so we will be watching the development of this structure that doesn't exist yet and has no target date to be created we do not intend to allow our sanctions to be of aided by europe or any body else. this statement came off to russia iran and china and bell to new payments mechanism to bypass u.s. sanctions on tehran your pain made us also want america against attempting to make decisions for that. it cannot be accepted that the united states would decide with

which world regions european companies can trade when they can develop economic activity francaise emanuel micron has also highlighted the sanctions on iran will prove costly for western economies due to the impact on oil prices. i'm sensitive to president trump's comments on the rise of oil prices but i think if you follow that thought to its conclusion you realize that it would be a good price is that the wrong be able to sell to. an economist an investment fund manager we spoke to believe this possible swift will bow down to us demands cut ties with iran. u.s. does put a lot of pressure on many actors so swift might do that we don't know but of course the u.s. has a very very aggressive policy of sanctions so listen to those words the u.s. has put a lot of pressure on various issues and it has used the sanctions were. more

aggressively even against the european companies against swiss companies and this is as really. put a lot of tensions on european companies and especially since the financial crisis so at some point europe might wake up and say this is too much i mean we have to go or own way and we have to find strike a new balance. thirty rats in your room upstate is just a taste of brussels and souls printed in the british tabloids ever breaks in negotiations. it's now fuming that the press have gone too far charlotte dubinsky explains. it seems there is a feeling a little vulnerable in the wake of some media headlines in the u.k. hold the front page the sun the u.k. zariah evening tabloid used a clever play on words to get its feelings across of the recent salzberg summit you know the one where the need is over the e.u.

outright rejected the case breaks it proposals well that headline has caused a tailspin in the e.u. and the commission is now calling for a more responsible approach by the media in the way that it informs the public about issues like brigs it and there i was thinking that freedom of press was a cornerstone of the even new media build of the culture of denial or should build the culture of dialogue on the contrary we see divisions spread disinformation and. exclusion the black city based. is the best example of that. again do you remember the front page of a popular british daily calling the judges the enemy of the people. just last week the e.u. leaders called dead rats on another front page and i would imagine

ok for a european approach to leading based on quality and smart regulation if needed this song on the front page which said that justice commission else is not the only hard hitting act on the part of the british tabloids known for pulling no punches and surely the breaks of debate coverage is no exception. but headlines like this really that offensive earn so it deficient to the extent that some sort of regulation is needed to rein in the main i think a newspaper can write whatever they want to but if it's aggressive towards

a community in terms of law regulation. it should be forbidden to media needs to to remain free whatever is written in those media and that's it i think that freedom of speech is important so we should be able to write anything if it's necessary to respect why they have expressed by the public should also bear respected the. it seems the e.u. justice commissioners proposals all prissy unpopular at least here in paris from what i gathered the view on the street is mostly don't touch the press we asked the same questions in london and it seems opinion across the english channel is divide it and also influenced by readers preferences i think they've got the discovery regulations in place to keep on playing by playing fairly i don't encourage strong language here that kind of headline could be offensive to people but that isn't going to compromise the action of

a free press as country press can look after themselves they won't print it i think it's going to upset readers let's face it i think the paper should be. here to be. appealing to the lowest common denominator of the guarded rate would you try to say . if the e.u. is typing its complaint to problems the british press to change tack it seems the sun didn't get the message on when say the red top ridiculed commissionaire very as an obscure nobody's at the head of the outspoken newspaper added the a.p. would be better off disclosing any piece expenses then trying to muzzle the press. i'll have more news at the top of the hour shortly. one of the most important if not the most important pillars of western society is the rule of law and the location of the law this is now being put into doubt we are

told it is the court of credibility that rules whatever that means is the cabinet nomination again. don't tell the story. the right. way to do it. i don't. mean it. was somebody who doesn't know that some people never know what's happening and what they're shooting whether it's here.

in the. us than in the most forms of all these political when the. later on. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance the empath upon all of us you me the guy behind the tree everybody i'm part killed in washington welcome aboard we're glad you're with us coming up the walk chain is becoming a basic building block for multinational big banks like never before we're joined by crypto and finance expert christiane the co-founder of counterpart back to work
