come on home. address to the u.n. general assembly russia's foreign minister rails against the political bloc meal economic pressure and brute force western governments are using to me. also ahead this hour after an emotionally charged committee hearing donald trump orders an f.b.i. investigation into claims of sexual assault on his supreme court nominee.

in response to a potentially the worst security breach in the company's history. being directly affected. every year tuning in from around the world this hour welcome to moscow and to r.t. international i mean you know neal good to have your company our top story russia's foreign minister wrapped up his participation at the un general assembly on friday with an attack on western foreign policy. condemned what he called the self-serving. ambitions of a small group of countries and said those states are undermining the organization and its principals who reports now from new york city. the

number of western states to seeking to preserve this proclaimed status of global leaders and prevent a natural transition to a multi-polar world order to that when they spend means including political blackmail economic pressure and brute force such activities lead to devaluation of international law surrogate saved all here in russia had to say to the rest of the world for his final day in new york the foreign minister kept himself within the boundaries of diplomatic language however his criticism and told the war. 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paid dearly for the self-serving ambitions of these countries diplomacy a culture of negotiation and compromise have been replaced by unilateral restrictions like un security council approval such actions are not just illegal but also just ineffective like that long serious statement the press conference

where a circular covered the same global issues happened to be an event where the audience had a giggle a few times so there is a policy new policy now of the land express creation in south africa that that they're implementing as a parliamentary process people could lose their farms without compensation and there's talk that russia is trying to take the gap if you will and some of those disgruntled oh no. no. we've got the law on the elections. no time for that too far too far but what you're saying stabilize yemen iraq syria and iran it seems as if to bring peace to these countries you have to completely eradicate influence there how realistic is that it's not for me to judge you but it seems to me you can't look at a country with such history civilization and people inside its borders like in

a cage saying you cannot stick and expecting them to stay within their borders why would you support such expansionism and there particularly the united states as you know that's the u.s. is born this is what you just said you just said no you don't can't i said you can look at the limit iran i mean you're going to put iran and its own borders and prevent iran through that influence outside its borders saudi arabia sort of so influence like card that exerts us influence that's what those while the most awaited speaker and this building and also at the your insecure. the council was still president trump this year his pick for the planet's greatest evil was a rant but the rest of the world didn't fall for it and even america's allies in europe didn't serve pointed that out once again and said that moscow will continue working with china and the major players to do everything to preserve the so

called iran nuclear agreement when i spoke to the person in charge of dealing with the media at the russian foreign ministry she couldn't help talking about how it took president twelve months to make a complete u. turn and what it comes to his take on little rocket man kim according to marie is a harvard there's still loads of room for improvement for the u.s. administration for many years most of korea was in medieval and this country and the. leaders of this country and the country itself and the people of this country it was mentioned as the world's hugest problem and in the evil was the world which was used to describe that country and now yeah and now i think the you heard mr. thing several times korea so what happened to the city and i was not

north korea has changed nothing like that happen but united states changed their position then their policy toward north korea probably the they can use a similar approach to iran and the things will go better yeah who knows what kind of twists and turns another year will bring about franco in new york where we former american diplomat jim just triss what he thought about the remarks from russia's foreign minister. mr lover up tends to be very diplomatic very polite very gentlemanly in his expression but i did notice. certain level of impatience today that he i think his patience has been tried one time too many yes we are talking about whether or not we will have we will continue down this road of the united states seeking. in a very sterile way and destructive way to hold on to this notion of global hegemony or whether there will be

a peaceful and national natural transition to our more more multi-polar world so far we don't see the people making policy in washington willing to make that transition and i think that is something extremely dangerous and i think maybe that partly accounts for mr lover of sense of impatience as we touched upon most attention though at this year's u.n. general assembly was paid to the american leader yourself a double trumps remarks went on with the diplomats. less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any

administration in the history of our country. america so truly. didn't expect that reaction but that so. many will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change course. but all nations of the world should resist socialism. and the misery. that it brings i am the first president ever to challenge china on trade. honesty and it's not diplomatic and they find it funny. they were laughing at me they were laughing with me we had fun.

while staying in new york old rivalries were reignited at the un general assembly as well as for the israeli prime minister announced he had knowledge of a secret raney an atomic warehouse to run last night saying rather it was israel which was the only country in the region with the cleared nuclear weapons right because the it takes up the story the general assembly is never dull the drama threats ultimatums and i q's ations but few relationships are as heartfelt or as emotional as radioactive as the one between israel and iran and the disclosing for the first time. that iran has another secret facility into iran a secret atomic warehouse for storing massive amounts of equipment and material.

for me secret nuclear weapons program with this now traditional back and forth you will never have to wait long for response no arts and crafts show will never of frisky that is really his only regime in our region with the secret undeclared nuclear weapons program including an actual atomic arsenal time for israel to fess up and open its illegal nuclear weapons program to international inspectors fair play to israel has a policy of nuclear ambiguity where it neither confirms law denies its nuclear weapon program and an arsenal of nukes yes no question for you does israel have no clear capabilities and nuclear weapons yes or no. we've always said that we won't be the first to introduce who we have been introduced so here's what we actually know about israel's nuclear hobby it's one of

only five nations not to have signed the nuclear nonproliferation treaty the cia reported that israel had its first new call most hoffer century ago well you know they got one nuclear weapon and israel has what three hundred or more nobody knows exactly how many in one thousand eighty six former technician mordechai vanunu spilled the beans revealed the location and details of israel's secrets nuclear complex photographs of the control room and information about how nuclear warheads were assembled in a covert six story deep underground complex his troubles midst of a new new was kidnapped in room by israeli agents and taken back home charges included treason espionage intent to impair national security he spent eighteen years in jail eleven of them in solitary confinement israel wasn't happy.

not very well after everyone know these are after one hundred s. i don't. know a medic i know you don't know anyone know there's a ron have a point should israel come out of the closet with its radioactive little secret perhaps but while no one knows for sure the israeli prime minister can continue to log about thinly veiled threats that would give a geiger counter a seizure while standing in front of his nuclear weapons in a bar or research center. human whoever threatens us with destruction puts themselves in similar danger and in any case will not achieve his goal. is an absence of a sad and tragic absence of any movement toward a middle east peace process. unmissed in it then you know instead o. coming to the un and that does seem dismay g.e. should that he is responsible for more than anybody else in the world he just

zeroes in and focuses on iran demonizes iran and that's not washing in with anyone in the world community today and we saw that there was a very muted reaction to hold a good reasons. to a story now that refuses to go away the votes on dull trumps controversial pick for the supreme court has once again been postponed bounce after the senate committee decided to give the f.b.i. one week to investigate the accusations of sexual assault leveled against brett kavanaugh a charge he strongly denies the president himself has ordered on the investigation into the claims it is yet another delay in one of the most divisive confirmation hearings in american political history fills our gallus from wonderland around here rather than working with us my democratic colleagues chose not to participate in this process and yet again and again their refrain has been the same delay delay delay i'm very disappointed that we are here today voting on this nomination this

is supposed to be an independent equal branch of government we're no longer that we are now in a very we are of the trump white house is the beginning. of a process. that will tear this country apart the u.s. senate judiciary committee has been conducting confirmation hearings for brett kavanaugh nominated to be a supreme court justice by donald trump 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 and 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. to do that investigation it would be short. and limited in scope to the current allegations that have been made i would like to support the motion for that investigation i've explained many times with mother if. it's not necessary the nomination of brett kavanaugh has certainly divided the united states of america both sides very fired up about it and it appears that next week we will have a final vote in the u.s. senate regarding his confirmation as a supreme court justice in the united states the highest court in the land but it has been quite contentious protests all around capitol hill lots of accusations on both sides lots of anger yet to civil east the scandal surrounding judge kavanagh

has triggered a severe partisan feud in the u.s. republican senator lindsey graham's comments in front of the senate judiciary committee hearing on thursday really captured the current level of animosity in washington in a bitter tirade you cues that democrats of a cynical attempt to do a real calvin ols nomination which you want to do is destroy this guy's life hold this seat open this is the most an ethical sham since i've been in politics if you really wanted to know the truth you sure as hell wouldn't done what you've done to this guy senator graham's staunch defense of brett kavanaugh drawn criticism to american comedian chelsea humble or even claim that graham is being blackmailed by moscow that's the spike the flick remains were known for his until russian stunts in the senate. they're trying to break the backs of

democracies they're doing worse things in other countries they're trying to get us to fight among ourselves and here's what we should do we should tell the russians in no uncertain terms you interfere in our elections we don't care why we're going to hit you and hit you hard and russia. is not a normal country media legal analysts loyal to list the russia block real claim against senator graham is nothing but absurd. the idea is so specious they are suggesting that that the russians have this man through blackmail they blackmail senator graham one of the most staunch heretofore in some cases the russian senator to speak on behalf of the president trumps nominee who is a republican which as he is this this is not the way blackmail works as easy as blackmail imagine me blackmailing you to say something or do something if you're

going to do anyway it doesn't make any sense this is an example of how people in our country here are the so-called elite the intelligentsia the the shanty hollyweird the the i guess the liberal if you well at your tame and arm of american entertainment factions all of a sudden they feel impelled then compelled and able to comment on issues they know nothing about. further protests border has seen seven palestinians including two children killed by the israeli military hundreds more demonstrators were injured. i. the rally was part of the great march of return protest campaign which began in

march demonstrators are calling for the right to take over a territory they claim israel has seized they also want an end to a crippling is really egyptian blockade imposed a decade ago after islamist militant group hamas forcefully took over power in the end since the protests began earlier this year over a one hundred and ninety protesters have been killed more than. one israeli soldier has been killed during the demonstrations really forces defended its actions claiming that bombs and grenades had been thrown out soldiers on friday and that they did what was necessary to protect israeli civilians israel also alleges that hamas used the protests as cover to breach the border fence. the news continues in ninety seconds here on r.t. .

u.s. is trying to control the european banking system remember they imposed back that to every single european bank had a record of every single customer every single transaction specially one through the u.s. dollar and the u.s. is closed their u.s. dollar base had germany all over the world now european nations even nations are saying no we're not going to be a part of the some higher anymore because we need the box we need the money we're not we don't believe in your propaganda we don't think that your sanctions on iran have merit for any reason so we're just going to bypass them because. that a petition would have made a push to do this if not to the life of that instance of indians and by all means we can be you know plus one think even you know. and when you. come to i was to say is the international rules of the said cancel out of this exam he has to you months and again also a lot of crucibles and bad news. hello

again facebook is facing a lawsuit over its apparent inability to keep its users personal information secure it comes in response to what was potentially the company's worst ever security breach fifty million accounts may have been compromised. our engineering team discovered a security issue affecting almost fifty million accounts it's clear that attack is exploited a vulnerability in facebook's code does allow them to take over people's accounts facebook admitting and choose day that their platform was breached fifty million accounts affected a further forty million also having their passwords changed so that's nineteen million people in total facebook releasing

a statement saying that those accounts could have been used by people with the ferias tensions and that at this early stage of their investigation they don't know who these people are or where they're based who carried out this attack and naturally that's led to anger being expressed on other social media platforms oh my god someone besides through facebook was willing to sell your info to me have you in food herbal time i knew something was up last night when i signed there has occurred in line at clicked on to now logged out of my account of their country mantle my passport time to change it again they refused to protect those dimona tice consumers clients should quit in possibly the should be put out of business now it's better tough year for facebook earlier this year they teamed up with the atlantic council the american think tank to combat what they said was fake news but that's led to accusations by many that they only cracking down on certain types of

facebook pages and that that is an infringement of free speech also earlier this year facebook coming under attack and under heavy criticism for their links with cambridge a little millions of facebook users data was accessed and used for political purposes by the company and that led to the founder of the company mark zuckerberg releasing a statement conceded that the company must do better we have a responsibility to protect your data and if we can't and we don't deserve to serve you. so it's been a tough year for facebook and what comes next is important if mr zuckerberg and his team want to rebuild trust in the social media giant or facebook has fixed the issue but the company's shares around its well if l. the c.e.o. mark zuckerberg his network also plunged by two billion dollars

a security researcher we spoke to thinks the hack could in fact have been much worse not facebook must keep working on both string it security. because an awful lot of infrastructure an awful lot of users to protect and watch the fifty million users impacted by this plus the additional forty million they've taken extra measures to protect us still only a few percent of facebook's total user base so while this is a very large breach and it could have been a lot worse i think that any effort they can point to bettering their stance on security is always good in terms of how effective that will be we can only really wait and see what the outcome of the eyes as we progress into the future. at least three hundred eighty four people are dead after a powerful earthquake and tsunami struck indonesia on a friday leaving hundreds more injured lots from the countries the streets and see thousands of homes along with hospitals and hotels have collapsed waves up to three meters high hits palu on soloway sea island where

a beach festival was under way the earthquake also caused a major power cut us humper to communication for rescue teams. ok back talking tech to our electric car maker tesla lost one and a half billion dollars overnight after funder in lawn musk was accused of fraud by the u.s. securities and exchange commission. clearly made a mistake and is obviously one of the great entrepreneurs of our generation who may call themselves wildly successful but they've never made a profit without even any sort of real knowledge important backs of what probably should be a lot more sleep and probably should be a lot more careful before he tweets i'm just saying this rolling the dice nothing wrong with the automobiles that are fine but the business is a un mitigated aster well in a tweet dated august the seven musk announced that he was considering taking test a private proposed the price of four hundred twenty dollars per share to do so

adding that he had secured sufficient funding he also expressed high hopes for all existing shareholders to endorse the idea the f.c.c. however picked up on an unexpected surprising link. we'll age that must could have arrived at the price of four hundred twenty dollars by assuming a twenty percent premium of tesla's then existing share price and then rounding up to four hundred twenty because of the significance of that number in marijuana culture and his belief that his go for end would be amused by it well tesla stock has been falling since the early august when musk posted his tweet shares were three hundred eighty dollars but on thursday the company's stock closed more than one hundred dollars done after the f.c.c. accused the musk of front. if the odds are probably in your favor you should make as many decisions as possible within the bounds of what is executable this is like being in the house in vegas probability is the most powerful force in the

universe which is why the house always wins be the house. stock exchange commission it's going to actually look at whether this was within the rules and so the regulations around reporting market sensitive information which is strictly not the way it should be done but also i think they're going to be most horrified at their lack of clarity and possibly accuracy because sometime later it was found that they weren't going to be going private so he's got a lot of questions to answer here in the case of mr musk he is obviously a very well known charismatic personality but there is some concern that he's a little bit erratic and some of the announcements that he's made either in relation to the firm or a recent tweet that he made about a cave diver. somewhat erratic and not what you would expect from the sort of stable management that most companies require about stories but remember plenty to get lost in on our web site r.t. dot com and this is r.t.

international thirty. you know world a big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.
