well. it's six talk right now in moscow headlining this at the u.n. general assembly russia's foreign minister railed against the political blackmail economic pressure and brute force he says western governments used to maintain global dominance. i swear there's the scenes today earlier on in barcelona protests as police use force against pro independence demonstrators in catalonia just two

days before the first anniversary of the region's independence referendum. and after the emotionally charged committee hearing donald trump orders an f.b.i. investigation now into claims of sexual assault leveled that his supreme court nominee. even for me kevin zero in this is out international thanks for being with us this weekend first then russia's foreign minister wrapping up his participation of the u.n. general assembly on friday with an attack on western foreign policy condemned what he called the parochial self-serving ambitions of a small group of countries and said those states are undermining the organization and its principles for trying to report from new york. the number of western states the seeking to preserve the self-proclaimed status of global leaders and prevent a natural transition to a. multipolar world order to that means including political blackmail economic

pressure and brute force subject to these lead to devaluation of international law surrogate saved all here and russia 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paid dearly for the self-serving ambitions of these countries diplomacy a culture of negotiation and compromise have been replaced by a unilateral restrictions like un security council approval such actions are not just illegal but also just ineffective like that long serious statement the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 were covered the same global issues happened to be an event where the audience had a giggle

a few times so the new policy of the land express creation in south africa that the that they were implementing is a parliamentary process people could lose their farms without compensation and this talk that russia is trying to take the gap if you will and some of those described . the law in the election is. no time for that too far too far but what if. somebody wants to assure you from the chair that was the president. and. so the question is not. what do you think of the future two of the united nations. 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 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 what a call to his take on little rocket man kim according to marie is a harvard there's still loads of room for improvement for the us administration for many years most of korea was in medieval and this country in. 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 trump 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 yeah it will be when those who sometimes happen for me us to trust what he thought about the russian foreign minister's remarks. 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 to a 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 heard from a correspondent it was the u.s. president to grab most of the attention of the u.n. general assembly is how donald trump's appearance went down with those diplomats.

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

entre. honest and it's not diplomatic and may find it funny. if they weren't laughing at me they were laughing with me we had fun. fun the solid old rivalries were reignited too at the u.n. general assembly especially off the israeli prime minister announced that he had knowledge of a secret iranian atomic warehouse. but saying rather it was israel which was the only coach in the middle east with undeclared nuclear weapons is a senior correspondent of the general assembly. he is never dull the drama threats ultimatums and accusations but few relationships are as heartfelt or as emotional as radioactive as the one between israel and iran and dick's disclosing

for the first time that iran has another secret facility in tehran 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 you will ever obfuscates that israel is the only regime in a 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 confirmed nor denied 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 new call most awful a 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 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 after everyone know what he said i have two hundred. i don't. know america 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 lab 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 the sad and tragic

absence of any movement toward a middle east peace process. and mr netanyahu instead of coming to the u.n. and seeing this media each year that he is responsible for more than anybody else in the world the jersey arose in and focuses on iran demonizes iran and actually not watching it with anyone in the world community today and we saw that there was a very muted reaction to him and for the good reasons. catalonia has one year anniversary of its independence vote is looming and clashes erupted a few hours ago in barcelona as this day comes up as a pro independence protests turned violent sort of a lunchtime. real

tinderbox there for a while wasn't it will riot police could be seen using what looks like force to push but those crowds as protest has responded by throwing paint and powder at them demonstrators started gathering on friday night to counter protest another group much in support of the security forces a monday as mentioned marks one year since the separatist regions controversial referendum on independence from spain to spot the worst political crisis in the country for decades adrift declared that voter legal the national police and civil guard were heavily criticised for violent crackdown in catalonia and twenty seventeen i spoke to martin robertson madrid based journalist who believes tensions have been faded one year on. 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 vast 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 maybe no clear road map for the independence movements at the moment 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 on the wounds have been healed yes. the u.s. president has ordered an f.b.i. investigation into accusations of sexual assault leveled against his supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh and the judiciary committee meetings put the brakes on the vote proposing a one week delay now before confirming the next judge but divide was evident among the committee members during that heated. hearing. feels like alice 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 are here today voting on this

nomination because the senate is 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 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 other investigations 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. in this congress running judge companies to get

a severe partisan few did in the us republican senator lindsey graham's coincide in front of the senate judiciary committee hearing on thursday come should the real color of the level of animosity washington and admitted to a raid he cute as the democrats have 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 and if you really wanted to know the truth you sure as hell what it done what you've done to this guy senator graham stones to fence a brick oven is drawing criticism as well the american comedian chelsea handler even claimed that graham's big but most go to the grammys are 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 in russia. is not a normal country. major a legal analyst told us the russia 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 staunch heretofore in some cases fancy 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 are the so-called elite the intelligentsia the that can use shandy hollyweird 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 lines without thought from new york it's snowing two minutes past six o'clock this saturday evening a mosque coming up the latest when the d.z. is struck earlier by that big seven point four quake hitting suing tsunami huge death toll that over four hundred as it stands i'm controversy is coming to new line for you details after this break.

unfortunately cranium government destroys that maybe they don't understand this but they destroyed the country and they lost not only crimea but they lost their own people to regions ukrainians and russians they really have very deep roots and to cut this road said to try just to show us that you are absolutely separate and different. from russians this is absolutely stupid the way this is the way to know where. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to be close this is

what before three of them can't be good. interest is always at the water's edge. there should be. sort of incident in easier of the last twenty four hours the more than four hundred people have died in iran five hundred have been injured after a powerful quake triggered a tsunami in indonesia on friday is according to the country's disaster agency those figures at the moment but they didn't easy and vice president fearing the death toll couldn't reach several thousand waves up to three meters tall hit the way sea island where a beach festival was taking place at the time to add to the tragedy after several strong and shallow quake region the indonesian authorities issued a tsunami warning but the twist to this it was removed just thirty four minutes later a lot of questions going to be asked about that they've defended their decision explaining it was based on the data they had available to them the earthquake cause

. major power cuts hampered communications for rescue teams thousands of homes along with hospitals and hotels have collapsed while the local prisons walls were destroyed by the force of those waves with almost six hundred inmates attempting to flee for their lives we'll keep you posted as we get more in on that. elsewhere the european union this weekend is warning italy over its new draft budget plan as experts fear the new populist government in rome could be on the path of financial collapse but the italian vice prime minister has hailed the move and promised it as a budget for the people of italy. there . the budget plan opens the door to a people's budget eliminating poverty means there are many citizens entrepreneurs and people who work below the poverty line who will pay less tax. besides cutting taxes the plan will look to lower the retirement age to boost wealth and invest in

key infrastructure to the target is two point four percent of g.d.p. gross domestic product over the next three years which is three times higher than the last administration the deficit ceiling is three percent so it won't be a violation of the bloc financial rules but it is spreading fear of a greece to with rome's debt to brussels set to increase. the budgets are plans will not resume poignant but will cause trouble to the savings of the italians this budget is not for the people it is it is the people we heard from financial expert charlie boyle he says the goal post change when it comes to countries in the financial services in europe. well closer to the eighty year it's actually a lot especially only for the actual status sector got one rule one another rule for another i mean if you look at the great crisis where the bailout was really your instrument banks total hypocrisy by the services countries which were all

worked against three countries that got into deficits and go into debt and the primary reason they important debt was because of the banking sector in the first place so there's a real problem when it's not the source of little or again it's the financial services sector and unless that happens there are the problems that we continue to face i'm not going to be resort. to tesla last one and a half billion dollars overnight after founder l. a musk was accused of fraud by the u.s. securities and commission and exchange commission rather according to the latest reports musk was offered a deal to settle the case in a court but he declined at the last minute they say the company's board of directors also supported that decision saying that they're fully confident in musk and his leadership of tesla now the federal agency seeking though his removal from the role as c.e.o. and chairman of the company clearly made a mistake 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 back so what's probably

should go more sleep and probably should be a lot more careful before he tweets i'm just saying is rolling the dice nothing wrong with the automobiles that are fine but the business is eight and on mitigated the earth or so that infamous tweet dated august seventh there announced he was considering taking tesla private and proposed a price of four hundred twenty dollars a share adding that he had crucially secured sufficient funding to do so he also expressed high hopes for all existing shareholders to endorse his idea the f.c.c. though picked up on an expected and perhaps surprisingly. 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 girlfriend would be amused by it as a stock to falling since early august when he must post it is teachers then are of

three hundred eighty dollars but come thursday the company's stock closed more than one hundred dollars down after the f.c.c. accused 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 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 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 a some concern that he is

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. i don't know they're all top stories this is not a shot of what's going on in the world over so much more from us around the clock at r.t. dot com our team working hard to bring you the best news coverage first class analysis and for you just don't get our free app as well to make sure that all the breaking news goes straight to mobile devices happens now here in moscow the skirvin all we know are the time just after twenty seven minutes past six mos code time saying thanks for watching and have a great weekend. that a petition has made it possible in this if god to the life of that instance of indians and by all means that we can be you know part or think even you know it all

and you don't. commit to crime was the same is the national mall it's the same a lot of it's six here as you mentioned and again also our principles and values. would normally just manufacture consent to stupidity of public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. with the famous merry go round listen to the one person. we can all middle of the room sit. in the real news room. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race and of his on off and spearing dramatic development that only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of god. join me every. sport i'm sure. i'll see you then. just a colorful show that has its own unique history and
