i believe. i was out. of the u.n. general assembly russia's foreign minister rails against the political blackmail economic pressure of brute force he says western governments used to maintain global dominance. i. protest take over bus load it was the scene just a few hours ago as police chief. used force rather against pro independence demonstrators in catalonia just two days before the first anniversary of the

region's independence referendum. and coming up to that emotionally charged committee hearing donald trump orders an f.b.i. investigation into claims of sexual assault leveled at the supreme court nominee. watching out international live from moscow with me kevin zero in thirty minutes of news coming up for you this saturday afternoon starting with this russia's foreign minister wrapping up his participation at the un general assembly on friday with an attack on western foreign policy so he condemned what he called the parochial self-serving ambitions of a small group of countries and said those states are undermining the organization of its principles reports from new york. the number of western states is seeking to preserve this proclaimed status of global leaders and prevent

a natural transition to a multi-polar world order to that means including political blackmail economic pressure and brute force so objectivity is lead to devaluation of international law sergey lavrov 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paid dearly for the self-serving ambitions of these countries diplomacy a culture of negotiation and compromise have been replaced by unilateral restrictions like un security council approval such actions are not just illegal but also just ineffective like that long serious statement of press conference were 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 of the land express creation in south africa that that they're implementing is 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 described. the law in the elections but. no time for that too far too far but what if. somebody asked to issue orders from that sure that was the president. so the question is not. what do you think of the future goal of the united nations . why. well the most awaited speaker and this building and also at the u.n. security 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. 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 when 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 the 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. new york. with us former u.s. diplomat what he thought about the russian foreign minister's remarks i noticed. mr lover of tends to be very diplomatic very polite very. gentlemanly in his expression but i did notice a 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 two or 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 you heard from a correspondent it was the u.s. president though grabbed most of the attention at the u.n. general assembly is how donald trump's appearance went down with diplomats.

in less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. america hears so true i. 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 soche. elizabeth. and the misery. that it brings i am the first president ever to challenge china

on trade. honest and it's not diplomatic and they find it funny. they were laughing at me they were laughing with me we had fun. on the sides of all this two old rivalries were ignited at the un general assembly picked me up to the israeli prime minister announced he had knowledge of his secret iranian atomic well surrounded me to be lashed back at that said rather it was israel which was the only country in the middle east with undeclared nuclear weapons is a senior correspondent lord of 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 i'm six 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 a sponsor no arts and crafts show will ever obfuscates that israel is the only regime in our region with a secret an 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 nuclear 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 nuclear almost half a century ago well you know they got one nuclear weapon israel has what three hundred or more nobody knows exactly how many in one thousand nine hundred 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 there's 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 to have to follow anyone know if he said i have two hundred bumps 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 and 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. and mr netanyahu instead of coming to the u.n. and addressing this major issue that he is responsible for more than anybody else in the world he jersey rosina and focuses on iran demonizes iran and that's not watching it with anyone in the world community today and we saw that there was a very muted reaction to him and for all the good reasons. catalonia has one year anniversary of its independence vote is looming and clashes of all ripped all in pass alone or as a pro independence protests turned violent sort of village town. police

could be seen using force to push back those crowds as protesters responded by throwing paint and powder demonstrators started gathering on friday night to counter protest another group much in support of the security forces monday as mentioned one year since the separatist regions controversial referendum on independence from spain spoke the worst political crisis in the country in decades woodridge declared the vote illegal of course and the national police and civil guard were heavily criticized then for violently cracking down on catalonia and twenty seventeen just last hour i spoke to martin robert seas of madrid based journalist who believes the tensions have been faded twelve months old. and push came to shove last year pro independence politicians in the parliament unilaterally declared independence the international community either rejected that or ignored it completely so that's one thing you have the legacy of the ass that the

unilateral reuss last year did not work it looks on likely to work again in the near future and that has divided the independence movement the may be no clear road map for the independence movements of the moments but tensions are still running high they were running high last year memories are still very fresh at the castle and society is still very divided the wounds haven't been healed yes. the u.s. president's ordered an f.b.i. investigation now into accusations of sexual assault leveled against his supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh a judiciary committee meetings put the brakes on the vote to proposing a one week delay before confirming the next judge but devoid was evidence among the committee members during the hearing. pills are gallus in 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're here today voting on this nomination to be

the senate supposed to be an independent equal branch of government we're no longer that we are an arm and a very weak arm 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 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. 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 the investigation is 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. you know the scandal surrounding judge cover 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 captured the current level of real animosity in washington in a bitter tirade cues the democrats of a cynical attempt to derail covered his nomination what 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 what it does and what you've done to this guy senator graham stone's defense a brick oven has drawn criticism as well american comedian chelsea handler even claimed the grahams being blackmailed by moscow despite the photograms were known for his anti russian stance 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 interfered 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. major league told us the russian claim against senator graham is nothing but absurd the idea is so specious. they're suggesting that that the russians have this man through blackmail they blackmail senator graham one of the most strong 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 that you're going to do anyway it doesn't make any sense this is an example of how people in our country here the so-called elite the intelligentsia the that

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 and compelled and able to comment on issues they know nothing about a future york city they're coming up the latest wind an easy a struck by the big seven point four quake and ensuing tsunami huge death toll that close to four hundred they're estimating more after the break. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press this is what the three of them will be good. interested always in the waters about how. things should be. that a condition. made it possible in this if god save the life of the innocent civilians and by all means we can be. even. committing a crime was the sec it's a national it's the same a lot of it's here. and again also a lot of principles that you. get

assaults international star tracking what's going on in indian easy that more than three hundred eighty people but i think that's a very canonical figure so far died after a powerful earthquake triggered the tsunami in indonesia friday over five hundred other people have been injured as well according to early estimates dozens remain missing and those latest stats in from the country's disaster agency has more to tell you too they do expect those numbers to rise if other countries vice president now fearing this is new in the death toll could be as high as several thousand waves up to three meters tall hits palawan so the way sea islands where. all the worst places in the world have this a big festival was taking place at the time. adding to the horror there that earthquake caused a major power cut that's hampered communication for rescue teams thousands of homes along with hospitals and hotels that collapsed or the local prison walls were also

destroyed by the force of that tsunami coming in with six hundred inmates trying to get away from the fear of their lives again we'll keep you posted. in other news this weekend in the tech giant tesla lost one a half billion dollars overnight after found elon musk was accused of fraud by the u.s. securities and exchange commission according to the latest reports most was offered a deal to settle the case at the court but declined it at the last minute the company's board of directors also supported that decision saying that they are fully confident in musk in his leadership of now the federal agency seeking his removal from the role as c.e.o. and chairman of the company clearly made a mistake there's obviously one of the great entrepreneurs of our generation of him a call themselves wildly successful but they've never made a profit without even any sort of real knowledge the point backs of what probably should go more sleep and probably should be a lot more careful before he tweets i'm just saying this is rolling the dice

nothing wrong with the automobiles that are foreign but the business is an urn mitigated disaster so that now infamous tweet dated august seventh musk there announced that he was considering taking tesla private and proposed a price of four hundred twenty dollars per share in crucially to it he'd secured sufficient funding to do so he also expressed high hopes for all existing shareholders to endorse his idea back then the s.e.c. now there was picked up on an unexpected and surprising link. we ledge 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 girlfriend would be amused by it either which way turns the stock's been falling since early august when musk posted his tweet shares were three hundred eighty dollars then but come thursday the company's stock closed more than one hundred dollars down after the f.c.c.

accused musk of fraud. 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 these are a stock exchange commission it's going to actually look at whether this was within the rules and some of 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 some time 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 are somewhat erratic and not what you would expect from the sort of stable management that most companies require. that's a snapshot of some of the world news stories making headlines this hour or so much more of course on our main site r.t. dot com our team working around the clock there to bring you all the latest news as it happens along with first class analysis and features because keep up to date with what's happening in indonesia as well make sure you go up as well all those events can come straight to your mobile device as they happen here moscow for those cover knowing what time is it twenty five minutes past five moscow time saying have a great saturday and thank you for watching the program. this is. a church secret indeed priests accused of sexually

abusing children can get away with it literally like to call this the geographic solution. what the british should needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moved him to a different spot were the previous. highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice mustn't do that that's not that's the i intend. to do this yet and. this. is faith it's. unfortunate ukrainian government destroys their country maybe they don't understand this but they destroyed the can't. they lost not only crimea but they lost their own people in two regions crane yes and russia they really have very deep roots and

to cut this center try just to show yourself that you are absolutely separate and different. from russians this is absolutely stupid the way this is the way to nowhere. kaiser this is the kaiser report even in toyland they're begging for more money you know rates are going up and even toys you know that's why they're going to we're going to bring in a toy helicopter to try to do some helicopter money right stacy that's what you need you need you need to bring in all kinds of liquidity to the system other was things you know what i'm saying and fortunately the fabulous people in toyland.

while i work on the well i was saying i had another headline that didn't relate to helicopters but that looks like a demented helicopter for a demented financial system around the world and i'll start with a headline that might say that we might require helicopters coming soon because of course you know janet yellen the former chad fed chair i was going to chad fed chair woman she recently said that you know that for the next financial crisis that everybody's warning about the next financial crisis coming soon and that the fed should start buying equities actually get it going to the markets and buy a i wanted to cut to the last line because to give you a reason to use that prop and this is from jesse feller he said there have never been so many bonds that are almost junk b.b.b. be my baby and i know you know exactly here's the chart that's near junk this is the financial crisis these are the outstanding corporate debt so you see there's

like almost three times as much outstanding corporate debt corporate bonds issued that's almost nine trillion dollars outstanding right now and most of it is this triple b. stuff right here it's all junk it's all just it's all going to be bailed out again we're going to use a helicopter exactly among those who are going to second to go gosh turn to some promote a little toys turn your back on again. oh . very good. ok early sit down sit down sit down because we have a lot to talk about here and this is stuff that does not get covered over on m.s.n. b c or fox or any of the other news programs like c.n.n. here and this is quite remarkable to me because if you tune into the news here in the united states right now it's all like these crazy partisan politics like seemingly minor gossip and considering that we're an empire and like lots of crazy stuff is happening and this is a headline that i want to keep track of you and i have been following of course for

years the warning about this and now it's starting to happen and that is breaking european union said to set up a legal entity to preserve oil and other business with iran and bid to evade u.s. sanctions a remarkable story right here is that e.u. that has looked at the united states wielding its weapon of having the u.s. dollar and control over the global financial system because all trade mostly settles at some point even for a fraction of a second in the u.s. dollar and so the u.s. dollar. you know the solver and of the u.s. dollar gets to impose huge fines and sanctions and threaten all sorts of nations around the world and at first you know they came for the cubans and the european said nothing because they were not cuban and then they came for venezuela and then they came for iran and then they came for russia and then they started to impose sanctions on friendlier and friendlier countries europe said enough.
