nominated to be a supreme court justice by donald trump today we saw essentially what happened they took a vote to take the nomination of brett kavanaugh to the floor of the u.s. senate now as the vote was preparing we saw kind of a last minute proposal from republican senator jeff flake he proposed essentially that a final vote on the floor of the senate wouldn't take place until the f.b.i. had been able to do an investigation i do think that we can. have a short pause and make sure that the f.b.i. can investigate that i understand it is that some of us would have to and i'm prepared to do it make a request to the white house to ask the f.b.i. . and eventually the police swooped in on this screen which they say were planning to carry out a terror attack at a high level of vent to maximize the number of victims and casualties that the

prosecutor in the netherlands this morning has been outlining some of the material they screw poor apparently trying to obtain the suspects were in search of a k forty seven hand guns grenades explosive vests and room materials for several car bombs well what do we know about the ringleader the so-called ringleader of this group what we understand he's a thirty four year old man who is over rocky origins we also understand from the police that he was convicted last year in two thousand and seventeen attempting to travel to syria where he wanted to join eisel the terror group with the rest of the group seven members in total we have some from police that their age twenty one to thirty three of the group including not ringleader had all been convicted of trying to travel to syria where they wanted to join not terror eisel now we understand that they were attempting to not only put. and rifles they were also looking to

obtain. which could then be used to create a bomb and we understand from the authorities in netherlands that they were quite a way along in their attempts to create this terrorist attack this is not the only time in september that terror has been on the front pages of the netherlands earlier this month the jihadist was short in. after stabbing to. the threat level in the netherlands remains that out of a possible maximum of five meaning that there is a real concern that there is a chance of a terror attack in the country. the seventy third general assembly is coming to an end with politicians from around the world taking the stage russian foreign minister sergey lavrov raised concern over some countries trying to hijack u.n. principles. john you know there's a. number of western states are seeking to preserve the self-proclaimed status of

global leaders and prevent a natural transition to a multi-polar world order through that means including political blackmail economic pressure and brute force such activities lead to devaluation of international law the international community has paid dearly for the self-serving ambitions of these countries diplomacy a culture of negotiation and compromise have been replaced by unilateral restrictions like un security council approval such actions are not just illegal but also just ineffective. political scientists café a frosty r.p. told us he believes that america's belligerence on the wall stage is harmful to western interests based spectacle that we witnessed the united nations by the u.s. officials this week there's little room for optimism i'm afraid we are on a slippery road toward greater tension and wars and less. agree

that the present course of action is from one creation are and as mr lover of quite rightly said they're creating an artificial crisis not a crisis of necessity but of choice and we saw the disastrous iraq war and the examples are us intervention is them has backfired on the u.s. and western interests as a whole and then i repeat their grave mistakes tension between us and iran is building in the persian gulf region there needs to be preventive diplomacy the dire warning issued by mr lover of today hopefully will be listened by the syrian makers in london paris of course washington. russian authorities have reacted to reports about a new suspect in the. case more on this and other stories after this break. u.s.

president donald trump took center stage at the united nations this week the middle east was very much on his mind particularly a red for some sitting in the general assembly trump's words were simply laughable

however what is happening in the middle east and beyond is anything but fun. welcome back to the program facebook has admitted that nearly fifty million accounts have been affected after a quote attack on its platform the social media giant warn that perpetrators could have misused the accounts. our engineering team discovered a security issue affecting almost fifty million accounts it's clear their attackers exploited a vulnerability in facebook's code this allowed them to take over people's accounts facebook admitting that a breach took place on choose day with fifty million accounts being affected and ninety million also being logged out and having their passwords research

a huge breach and again eroding trust in facebook now they say that the account could have been used by perpetrators they still don't know whether the accounts were misused or whether any information was accessed and also they say at this early stage of their investigation they don't know who's behind the attacks all based on all of this has sparked outrage which has been expressed on other social media platforms i knew something was up last night when i saw an error has occurred you know when i clicked on to up now logged out of my account in their country mental right password time to change it again if they refused to protect those dimona tice consumers clients should quit in possibly the should be put out of business now it's been a tough year for facebook they've come in for a huge amounts of criticism that their platform has been used to disseminate fake news and they've brought in the atlantic council to get rid of so-called fake news

that's controversial because it's seen as being censorship on free speech and closing accounts which don't follow the government line in certain places also earlier this year facebook coming under fire over the cambridge analytical scandal where millions of facebook users had their accounts accessed and used for. political reasons by the company and so what came out of all of that is facebook founder mark zuckerberg really apologizing and promising that his company would try to do better we have a responsibility to protect your data and if we can't and we don't. so a bad year all around of for facebook won't be helped by this latest news about this breach and interesting to see where the social media goes from here. the kremlin has reacted to news reports that britain security services have identified a third suspect in the script poisoning case it's spokesperson dmitri peskov says

that moscow wants to see facts not press speculation or unofficial investigations were gas death breaks down the developments. rumors upon theories on top of speculation doesn't seem to end the kremlin has dismissed these rumors about the suspects their relationship with moscow was just that rumors and hasn't seen any case files. the whole discussion is built around. kind of results some kind of investigations by some kind of. nobody can figure out which pieces of evidence and which are true various investigations that are underway by journalists. all this raises questions concerning the results of those investigations we do not know how. they are based and so on its hold hold a discussion with the media we would like to do that we don't know if any of the

facts are true if we can make any official statements about who looks like who lived and so. they have to have the initial material. joint investigation. on the source. we jointly cooperate so that's why we don't want to speculate the latest but a third russian agent has been identified suspected of carrying out reconnaissance at the script. the other theory that surfaced and the rounds in the media this week is about one of the two original suspects but share of bending cat which calls itself an investigative outfit and is widely seen as the russian says it has discovered his true identity and authority. apparently a decorated serviceman what they did is they truly through decades and decades of

russian military academy graduation photos until they found a man with a resemblance to a share of then use the database on the internet to find his. aym that's all the proof that they offered dedicate in the rest of their article to speculation about his career which is all odd when others revealed links between syrian jihad ists and pro rebel white helmet rescuers telling cat insisted that it merely likeness on photographs was insufficient proof but there you go we it team managed to reach the head of the military academy you referred to by betting cat where used to study they have serious questions about building cats narrative one hundred percent he graduated in two thousand and one back then i was a commander of the squadron there is very little information on him or his or gregory yes it's rubbish there enough a survey who would graduate such an academy would be sent on

a task like this are graduates or field officers and it's not even special services who would be trained to perform tasks like these even so it's rubbish that a g.r.u. officer would be sent to police and so on they were not hours i think this story was planted seventeen years when the phrase from the photo is not remarkable they were between twenty and twenty one years old when they graduated they have changed from that time and there we go the latest twist in the script fair rule a coaster ride of rumors and speculation inconsistent seas and revelations and judging by what we've seen so far one shouldn't expect this ride to end anytime soon. taking. it in germany on his first state visit as a president and. the streets of berlin as a news conference with chancellor at on quarter for close economic ties.

we find it very important that we cooperate with germany in the economic field according to the win win principle we are thankful for german support our trade relationship is good. better again we want to win win situation with germany in the present and the future. state visit with the full military honors for president here in germany and it was all very friendly at the press conference as he stood alongside chancellor angela merkel but scratch just a little bit below the surface and it was clear that there are still major issues between berlin and ankara president otoh one from his side he was all very keen always very keen to bring the talk back to economic cooperation between turkey and germany one of the reasons for that is because when it comes to economic cooperation well that's one area this lynn can unite against one person in particular.

well the press conference it was announced that there will be an upcoming a meeting on syria and conspicuous by their absence from that list of invitees was donald trump in the united states the meeting will comprise the leaders of russia of turkey of germany and of fronts. but this meeting between president won and chancellor merkel well it's a miracle it's happened at all on the scale in which it's happened just not so long ago and cast our minds back in there was some real top shelf insults being hurled between the two nations i can see turkey being admitted to the european union i have never been able to see it happening germany you have no relation whatsoever to democracy and you should know that your current actions are no different to those

in the nazi period president jeopardizing everything that you've built together with others and your unspeakable nazi comparisons 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 green body are all enemies of turkey to support those political parties who are not enemies of turkey while the tensions between one current perlin could be seen in the room the press conference took place in one of the accredited journalists stood up during the press questions revealing a t. shirt that said freedom for journalists on it he was then removed from the press by security services leaving mr wanted mrs merkel to stand on looking rather or quit while it was done but they are clear issues and many of them relate back to the twenty sixteen attempted coup in turkey the turkish site they want those they claim took part in the coup or helped organize the attempted coup who are currently here

in germany seeking asylum the german side they say there's five people in jail in turkey over the queue who are german citizens and they want them released president wants angle or merkel and others in the international community to condemn the golan movement he says were behind the attempted coup however chancellor merkel stood right alongside president said he shouldn't be holding his breath for that to be declared anytime soon from germany from another that it was going to the u.n. movement we take you very seriously but we need more information to fix the status for this organization we do search some persons on the request of turkey but on the other hand there is a lack of information where there are all of them are in this country. well this state visit was all about bridge building some of that has been done but it's clear that they're still while they're still words from the angry exchanges between the two countries that have gone all over the last couple of years they have not gone

us all just yet at times it looked like we were making progress at other times it looked like nothing's changed in the relationship and it's low ebb. and the mosque has been opened in hamburg in a building that used to be a protestant church join the renovation that took five years a lot spain said about multiculturalism and integration but some locals have mixed feelings about it. it's a bt my three children received their confirmation in this church and now it is a mosque but what can you do.

your kids often went to church removed for a 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 therefore we have to be reasonable and stand together at a time when i just moved past i had a strange feeling a little bit frightening wondering when the bus for example and i see a crowd of people coming from the mosque it is a frightening feeling because you feel it is strange you shall see. the mosque is a place of integration and learning. and i don't think you can say that a job many of its. at the top of the hour the first international politicking with larry king.

unfortunately cranium governments destroys that conclave don't know maybe they don't understand this but they destroyed the country they lost not only crimea but they lost their own people in two regions ukrainians and russians they really have started very deep roots and took cuts at least sent to try just to show us that you have some of to separate them differently. from russians this is absolutely stupid the way this is the way to nowhere. with this manufactured consent instinctive public will. when the

woman closest project over them so. when the primary lifts and be the woman. we can all middle of the room sit. in the real news room. when you. the present political

look at that is too close to the book movie. choose to squish but still it's a big scene. there's. just a little she. joined me every thursday on me all excited i'm sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm sure. i'll see that.

just a colorful show that has its own unique history and a whole set of rigidly observed traditions and strict rules. the spectacle is organized mainly by a revered character known as a what all. he's sworn to live a life of voiding contact with women not because of their religious values chastity but for rather different reasons. and i think that he did the. right doing that and he took the day. i was. glad. he threw up the. food network and. often they

do i know the kind of. the i didn't ride out the back seat to talk with time who was even going. to be about. an hour on a bike. to demonstrate that they aren't involved with women. aged twelve year old servant boys . as. they said at the. is it about.

the less than. siad. the. little. they doubt but not. the the other thing that i had said also a could go by in the example contract i did he had people. and i am i an amount of money am i and we're going to. be as another model much of the autonomy as i do but then i think that pull him up on the cross and then. it will be due to i'm going to die young the man need to do i thought bob if you dissect it as you are. there

and that. my secrets your money and that and that had to get that out all. the money at the one the money we could bear it through yet he had that among the total. leo some that he had some that in new york and that he had been in.
