one thing about your. health that you give me a month. to think of that in the at you but i'm addicted to sit with your middle class and in the most talked about he's going to win the. with north korea the focus of the security council meeting when the. recall saying that the. u.s.

supreme court. the supreme court. and the woman who. put them. in the face of economic pressure. and the french. people to be. people. no one any. good however.

top stories. north korea was at the heart of the latest u.n. security council meeting washington's top diplomat. praised progress made in relations between the two countries just a year since president to totally destroy their state. past diplomatic attempts to halt north korea's nuclear ballistic missile development were unsuccessful but now we're at the dawn of a new day. well the twelve months ago washington and pyongyang seem to be standing on the brink of war so will this new day mention by secretary last. reports from new york it's only been

a year and then boom donald trump's second u.n. general assembly just listen to it i would like to thank chairman kim for his courage and for the steps he has taken a lot of very positive things are happening with chairman kim he likes me i like him we get along but most importantly i believe that chairman kim jong un wants peace and prosperity for north korea twelve months ago same building same holds same mr trump no one has shown more contempt for other nations and for the well being of their own people then the depraved regime in north korea no north korea hasn't undergone any regime change surgery chairman kim is still in his chair but miraculously little rocket man is now an awesome guy rocket man shooting rockets all over the place and with me he's not get nowhere with this he will truly regret it five years as

a fury the likes of which nobody has seen before totally destroy north korea rocket man mad men is on a suicide mission for himself so that if there it's a state that while today. is the president's most admired pen pal i'm sure you've heard about the beautiful letter so i've received two letters from jim and kim much personal correspondence magnificent very strong letter form incredible letters the letters page one i showed one of the letters just. to prime minister he said this is actually a groundbreaking letter like any other president donald trump. love to be remembered as a true global peace maker it took him a year and a half from his inauguration to zero in on his desired legacy a true breakthrough in the korean crisis barak obama was having

a hard time segmenting his place in history books but then the year when nuclear deal came to the rescue and the mission find your perfect legacy was complete after nearly two years of intensive negotiations backed by strong sanctions become trees represented in this room achieved what decades of animosity and rhetoric did not and thanks to this deal we have seen real progress shortly after mr obama was gone the deal was left in tatters no matter how monumental it had been in the first place the worst sales i've ever seen the good disaster is still one of the dumbest details one of the worst deals ever it was the iran deal i'm all for agreements but that was a bad one donald trump waved good bye to the green minutes he quit unilaterally without paying attention to pretty much what the rest of the world has to say about

today's action sends a critical message the united states no longer makes empty threats when i make promises i keep that donald trump may indeed keep all his promises as president but it does happen that rivals sometimes take over the white house after term one what if and a couple of years someone else will be representing the u.s. behind these new one general assembly walls in new york a million to train from and washington's happy sanctions against north korea well one of the main issues of discussion at the latest u.n. security council meeting the russian foreign minister called them out dated considering the progress seen from pyongyang regarding denuclearizing. i do too and when pyongyang shows readiness to cooperate and positive changes towards stabilization in the region it looks more and more outdated when our western

partners propose further strengthening sanctions on north korea given that pyongyang has taken a number of important steps towards denuclearization it would have been more logical to support the efforts of the something in exchange to support the positive trend that it is hard to judge whether their statements match reality however just meeting by dialoguing and talking is progress and i think it needs to be acknowledged and praised that they are doing that however have we moved any closer toward the idea of a peace treaty and we moved any closer toward finding a way to avoid the nuclear buildup on the peninsula i'm not sure through the efforts of washington that we have i think we have through the efforts of president moon and south korea and what they're doing but i don't think

at this point in time we can say progress has been made because they should be entering the peace treaty ending the korean war as a prerequisite to toss. in what proved to be an emotionally charged headline grabbing herring both donald trump's supreme court nominee and the woman who accuses him of attempted rape testified before the senate judiciary committee brett kavanaugh strongly denies all accusations and senators from both the republican and democratic parties have been accusing each other of political bias when it came to investigating the sexual assault claims. republicans scheduled a hearing without talking to her or even inviting her to testify republicans also scheduled this hearing with dr ford without having her allegations investigated by the f.b.i. if you wanted an f.b.i. investigation you could come to us what you want to do is destroy this guy's life

hold this seat open and hope you win in two thousand and twenty you think that not me the assault stayed with her for forty three years the entire country is watching how we handle these allegations i hope the american people can see through this sham that you knew about it and you help it you had no intention of protecting daughter for following the hearing the president doubled down on his support for his pick for the supreme court he called the cops on all the testimony powerful and accuse democrats of obstruction calling on the senate to vote for the nominee some reports on what company and his accuser to say. bigger national issues like iran d.p. r. k. and actual wars like syria and yemen have taken a back seat and capitals hearings have been a dominating the news cycle for a couple of weeks now and we witnessed a series of twists and turns over the past month or so and all of america is tuned

in to find out if cavanagh did or did not sexually assault christine ford over thirty six years ago but all the suspense and media hype surrounding the case is making it seem more like a soap opera than serious news but kavanagh was questioned for hours and what did we find out well here's ford i recall saying that the boy who assaulted me could someday be on the u.s. supreme court and here today not because i want. him terrified my family and i have been the target of constant harassment and threats i believe that if i came forward my single voice would be drowned out by a of chorus of powerful supporters during the hearing cavanagh even got a little bit emotional he even discussed how these hearings have affected his life my family and my name have been totally and permanently destroyed i intend no we'll will see a doctor for her family the other night actually and my daughter was assert their

prayers and little lies all of ten years old. should there actually we should pray for the women. it's a lot of wisdom from a ten year old. we need we know we'll. this is a circus but it looks like the only thing that's clear from all of this is that both of their lives have been turned upside down well in this incredibly polarized climate of americans chose a side long before either of them spoke. i respect this man and believe him we must put an end to the democrats' witch hunt god bless this man for refusing to back down from the democratic elite who tried to destroy his life i stand with judge cavanagh who's with me gavin

a strategy played the victim meanwhile the actual victim conducted herself with out most dignity and bravery and bravery dr ford is a patriot in a survivor it's a fact that this hearing is playing more like a trial is devastating she is not on trial kevin though is her testimony has read as credible reliable and compelling in fact it would be super difficult to find anyone whose minds were changed after listening to the testimony and we won't find out how they're going to vote until friday so as of now there seems to be a motion over substance. the turkish president of the one is in germany on his first formal statement but it comes amid growing economic pressure from washington on both germany and turkey over the one said at times like these but need to put their problems aside put or all of it takes up more from that turkish president is in germany would be extending over all of the

branches the building of bridges and the turning over of new pages in the relationship between concrete and live in front and center. it is our responsibility to rationally move our relations forward on the basis of our shared interests quite apart from irrational fears of people while since he was here twenty fourteen was the last time i was in germany on official business and in that time. have there been some exchanges between the two nations. i can see turkey being admitted to the european union i have never been able to see it happening. a germany you have no relation whatsoever to democracy and you should know that your current actions and no different to those of the nazi period. president. doesn't everything that you with others have built and the unspeakable in that secure paris's do not cut the ties to those who want a partnership with turkey. i'm calling on all my countrymen in germany the

christian democrats the s.t.p. and the green party are all enemies of turkey support those political parties who are not enemies of turkey so you see this more than just a few indiscretions to be over kill me the chancellor and the president to be chums again if we go back to the attempted coup in turkey in twenty sixteen happy suspects accused of taking part not to be granted asylum in germany while germany's on happy german citizens in jail in turkey accused of taking part there if we also look at elections then turkey's unhappy you know the one particular on happy. turkish rallies weren't allowed to be held in german states while germany which was hosting elections in the same year they were angry the president deemed it necessary to give tips to turkish germans on how they should vote in the german

general election. the relationship between germany and turkey is in a real low right now if only there was someone they could unite. against. in particular is keen to have mrs merkel as an ally in the face of trumps trade war the current unilateral and reckless approach of the us government is dragging our world further into merciless economic war which harms every player both mr and mrs merkel have ongoing economic shenanigans with donald trump the us president has slapped a massive tariffs on the import of turkish steel in our many m one german companies find themselves in a peculiar position over trump sanctions against iran also on top of that berlin is

being pressured by washington over germany's involvement in the north stream to gas pipeline project with russia policy. during these countries question iran and turkey on one side and europe on the others and closer together in the economic terry of the sanctions against iran iran is a big economic partner for turkey and. another big economic turmoil and trying to reach out to our sites to get support while building bridges is the order of the day there is one area where mr may have to concentrate germany has just been turkey to the right to host the twenty twenty four european football championships but of course that will probably pale into insignificance when there's a trade war waging trump to unite against people all over r.t. . french authorities have launched an investigation against

a black rapper for inciting violence and racial hatred that's after he posted a video showing a white man being tortured shot and hanging from a tree and called for white babies to be killed you to pass suspended the clip called hanging whites. now the rapper himself nick conrad says it's nothing but a work of fiction your so claimed he was simply turning the tables on the suffering black people have endured for years however outrage at the video reached all the way to the very top the french interior minister strongly condemned the rappers words he also called for further legal action and he was backed by politicians from all the major parties where we put the whole issue of whether there needs to be limits to artistic expression for debate or. i'm all for the rule of law replying but he does seem to be massively disproportionate when there is no

general trend in the french black community or elsewhere for this sort of thing and the one time here example people have descended on in france you'll be exaggerating now you are. in any way but undoubtedly these i am i exaggerate i mean there is a problem there is a problem. i am using in general i am drill music i am a sinner that's one hundred black kids at the moment lee are lying in the more true your have been lying in a more tree we should calm down all violence like this all violent lyrics like this this kid is only at our say forty downloads we're going to be very careful we don't blow this out of proportion but he i've read the lyrics he's talking about stabbing caves in a nursery white kids and hanging their parents i'm sorry last out of order in my book just well let's see what the guy said the guy said i wanted to reverse polarity and show what it's like for black people for hundreds of years to be

victims to these things sounds credible to me whether he meant it or not who knows only he can tell but i do know there's seems to be a big disproportionate difference with the way he's being treated to the way that the rest of the offenders on you tube are being treated. one would never try not to condemn slavery. no you know no one's trying to make an excuse for that if he has you say seat and change the priority of it good however but by the same token condemned both so a new mosque has been opened in hamburg in a building that used to be your protestant church some locals describe it as frightening or try to explain off the.

you know we need to go back to. force. the position of the got. the. keys. to go back to the. u.s. president donald trump took center stage at the united nations this week the middle east was very much on his mind particularly iran sitting in the general assembly trumps words were simply laughable however what is happening in the middle east and beyond is anything but fun.

twenty past the hour here in the russian capital the editor of the new york review of books claims he was pressured to believe the magazine for giving a platform and a perspective from the wrong side of the me to movement in the room of publish an essay written by a former canadian radio host who was acquitted over a sexual assault charges in which though he reflects on life after the accusations and more than one hundred prominent writers and contributors to the magazine have spoken out against the forced resignation ultimately calling it. we find it very troubling that the public reaction to a single article repellent they some of us may have found this article should have been the occasion of young broom is forced resignation artie's keller mop and now looks at how one decision to publish an essay can cost you and your job. the new

york review of books is a staple of american intellectual culture was actually hailed as the premier literary intellectual magazine of the english language by esquire and lauded by the new york times it has prided itself in posing questions americans debates about life and culture since the one nine hundred sixty s. but in the era of me to that attempted debate has fallen flat in bruma never himself accused of sexual misconduct decides to give voice to someone who has been accused and he gets fired. my interest in running this piece is a sit is the point of view of somebody who has been pilloried in public opinion somebody feels about it it was not run as a piece to exonerate him or to somehow mitigate the nature of his behavior the article that got broom of fired was written by asian ghomeshi is a canadian radio host whose career was destroyed when he was accused of sexual

assault back in two thousand and sixteen now all the charges against him in twenty sixteen were dismissed in court due to lack of evidence however since then twenty different women have come forward and accused him now those accusations have not yet gone to court but jian ghomeshi never got his job back there are a lot of guys more hated than me now but i was the guy everyone hated first during the first two weeks i was suicidal i contemplated the methods by which i could kill myself i was terrified of being weak and terrified of falling asleep after the article was published there was a firestorm both in the media and on the internet pretty soon bruno was no longer the editor now the new york review of books even one as far as to publish an apology for what they thought was a poor editorial decision while mr gomes has an absolute free speech right to express his opinions were acknowledged in the presentation and editing of his story

. now the writer of the article was indeed accused of sexual harassment but the editor in bloom a wasn't he simply made the decision to publish the article. i have absolutely no doubt that the me too movement is a necessary corrective or male behavior but like all well intentioned doing good things there can be undesirable consequences now there's no question that need to is giving victims a voice that is much needed but getting people fired for giving a voice to people whose guilt has not yet been proven is that what me too is supposed to bring about mop and r. t. new york we spoke with criminal defense attorney emily company who says the media is there to give more voices on a subject not fewer there is a backlash effect occurring within journalism these days which essentially it's the professional death sentence upon a mistake like that and the duty of the media the duty of this of this paper was to

provide information it's to give an outlet to all of those voices in general journalists and editors i believe have a heightened sense of duty to not only act as stewards of the me to movement but that includes publishing and giving weight and light to all voices and all opinions along the spectrum so i do believe it's incumbent upon those participating in that industry to offer more voices to be heard rather than less to give more of an opportunity to be heard rather than editing in that need to movement and importantly there is a big sense of public opinion occurring where an allegation means a conviction. a new mosque has been opened in hamburg in a building that used to be a protestant church during the renovation the took five years a lot's been said about multiculturalism and integration but some locals have rather mixed feelings about it.

it's a shot it's a pizza and my three children received a confirmation in this church and now it is a mosque but what can you do. here it's awful when a church gets removed from the mosque although they really made it beautiful of course it is a different culture i'm sure but there are also so many parallels and they think we have to be reasonable and stand together it's not it's not one i just have to foster i have a strange feeling a little bit frightened when i'm in the boss for example and i see

a crowd of people coming from the mosque it is a frightening feeling because you feel as a stranger you shall see. the mosque is a place of the integration and learning. and i don't think you can say that i joined many of the christian automatically nowadays to. do this hour's news program wrapped up here on r.t. international but so many stories for you on this friday can join us in about half an hour. when i'll show seemed wrong. by all. just don't hold. me

to get to shape out just to come out to and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart if we choose to look for common ground. lol make this manufacturer case sensitive to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round if the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. room.

high court drama and a surprise accusation from truong at the un putting china in the crosshairs will cover it all on this edition of politics. welcome to politicking on larry king another accusation of sexual conduct against donald trump's and battled supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh the latest being added to two other allegations which have plagued kavanaugh and the g.o.p. putting the judge's confirmation in question will begin there with trent copeland our good friend the criminal defense attorney and legal analyst he joins us here in studio. julie sweat nick apparently this happened one nine hundred eighty eighty one what do you make of this trend i think it's a explosive allegation i think it's one more piece to the puzzle in terms of whether

or not the confirmation process of judicial candidate brett kavanaugh should go forward i mean look the fact of the matter is that there are three allegations now are right we've got christie employees afford she says that she you know was assaulted sexually assaulted by brett kavanaugh she was forced down on a bed his hands over her mouth is a good friend michael judge. watch this we've got the classmate at yale who says that you know in a drunken state he you know pulled out his genitalia and put it in her face we've got this new woman now who says that she was was was gang raped and that brett kavanaugh and his friend again michael judge was present now it's not clear in that declaration that she says they participated in it but she does say they were there and they were present i think will have to drill down on that but the key question here larry is that with this new allegation this new person juanita.
