the un general assembly russia's foreign minister rails against the political blackmail economic pressure and brute force he says western governments use to maintain global dominance. protests take over barcelona wrist police use force against independence demonstrators in catalonia just two days before the first anniversary of the region's independence referendum. and offer an emotionally charged committee

hearing donald trump olders an f.b.i. investigation into claims of sexual assault level that his supremes court nominee. saturday night at nine here in moscow is calling right with you would ask you with your news this hour thanks for checking in first off russia's foreign minister wrapped up his participation of the un general assembly on friday with an attack on western foreign policy so again of rauf 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 to trying to reports from new york. the number of western states the seeking to preserve this proclaimed states is 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 he and 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paid dearly for the self-serving ambitions of these countries diplomacy a culture of negotiation and compromise have been replaced by unilateral restrictions like un security council approval such actions are not just illegal but also just ineffective i like that long serious statement the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 or a few times so there is a policy new policy 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 described. the law in the election. no time for that too far too far but what if. somebody asked to assure you from that sure that was the president. so the question is not. what do you think of the future 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 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 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 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 change 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 we also former u.s. diplomats to jack for us what he thought about the russian foreign minister as remotes. i noticed that 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 patients 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 in 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 well as we heard from our correspondent it was the u.s. presidents who grabbed most of the attention so far at the u.n. general assembly is how donald trump's appearance went down but diplomats.

less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. america's so true. 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 they find it funny. they were laughing at me they were laughing with me we had fun. have been reignited at the un general assembly the israeli prime minister announced that he had knowledge of a secret iranian atomic warehouse tehran last act saying it was israel which was the only country in the middle east with undeclared nuclear weapons is all senior correspondent. the general assembly 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 dicks 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 a sponsor you know arts and crafts show 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 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 is 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 already said i have two hundred bumps 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 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 nathaniel instead of coming to the u.n.

and had last seen this media each year 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 it with anyone in the world community today and beside that there was a very muted reaction to him and for all the good reasons. catalonia is one year anniversary of its independence vote is looming and clashes have erupted in barcelona as a pro independence protests turned violent this saturday lunchtime at least twenty four people have been injured and six others detained i. i. i .

i riot police used force to push back the crowds as protesters responded by throwing paint and powder demonstrators started gathering on friday night to counter protest another group marching in support of the security forces sunday marks one year since the separatist regions controversial referendum on independence from spain which sparked the worst political crisis in the country in decades madrid declared the vote in legal have a national police and civil guard were heavily criticized for violent crackdown in twenty seventy journalists martin robert to madrid believes tensions have been faded one year on i push came to shove last year pro independence politicians in the parliament unilaterally declared independence the international community either rejected the us or ignored it completely so that's one thing you have the legacy of the last that the unilateral rooms last year did not work it looks so unlikely to work. again in the near future has divided the independence movement the may be 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 the council on society is still very divided the wounds haven't been healed. the u.s. president has ordered an f.b.i. investigation into accusations of sexual assault leveled against his supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh judicial committee meetings been putting the brakes on the vote proposing a one week delay before confirming the next judge but the divide was evident among the committee members during the 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 this supposed to be an independent equal branch of government we're no longer that we are now in

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 cavanagh 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 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 have 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 without see coming up the latest from indonesia reeling from that seven point four quake and subsequent tsunami the number of deaths is rising and this controversy over how warnings were handled the details on

law when we come back. the u.s. is trying to control the european banking system remember they imposed fact that every single european bank had a record of every single customer every single transaction especially one through the u.s. dollar and the u.s. it posed their u.s. dollar based germany all over the world now european nation even nations are saying no we're not going to be a part of this some clarity more 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 of the nation. need to push through this if not through the life of the instant civilians and by all means that we can be plausible and think even. in. committee and i was to say is the international this is

a lot of it's. human and again a lot of principles and values. welcome back more than four hundred people are now known to have died in the around five hundred others injured after a powerful earthquake triggered a tsunami in indonesia on friday the vice president fears the number of deaths could reach several thousand waves up to three meters tall hollow in some ways where a big festival was taking place up to several strong and shallow quake struck the region the indonesian authorities issued a tsunami warning but it was removed just thirty four minutes later they defended

the decision explaining it was based on the data they had available to them at the time of the earthquake caused a major power cut the tampa communication for rescue teams thousands of homes along with hospitals and hotels collapsed while the local prisons walls were also destroyed by the force of the waves with almost six hundred inmates attempting to flee for their lifes. united states u.n. envoy has called for regime change in venezuela during a street protest outside the u.n. headquarters in new york. as well as come in for some extra attention from donald trump over this past week has he announced sanctions against the president's inner circle over corruption

allegations nicolas maduro is accused of driving up hyperinflation as well as human rights violations trump said millions of people have been turned into refugees and washington could use its military to i was to the door of if need be. overeem the breitling could be toppled very quickly by the military or the military decides to do that i just want to see a good as well great yeah sure on the day. and the lessons are all carried out then you know a place where all that israel is a mess and it's got to be cleaned up and people have to be taken care of the united states has the longest the wrong us history of any country in the entire globe meddling with other people's. affairs and when and when the us i'm going to be here only talks about capitalism and some talk about our socialism it's very hypocritical us as long have it out of her and it will be for with little chavez now with manure oh and it has a lot to do with the fact that it's an independent socialist state in the united

states this is hyper capitalist they've had no problem with they have no problem with dick gators around the world especially those that that embrace capitalism grace us imperialism and you know function as their you know quasi allies the us will resort to any alliance they know that they will play upon the geopolitical and vast amount many united states citizens and will do these things to try to do to try to foment you know some kind of made up scenario to instigate a war. the european union is warning italy over its new draft budget as experts fear the new populist government could be on a path to financial collapse but the italian economy minister hailed the plan as a budget for the people of italy. their. plan opens the door to a people's budget eliminating polity means there are many citizens entrepreneurs

and people who work below the poverty line who will pay less tax. well besides cutting taxes the plan will look to lower the retirement age boost welfare and invest in key infrastructure the target is two point four percent of gross domestic product over the next three years which is three times higher than the last administration and the e.u. deficit ceiling is three percent so italy won't be in violation of the blocks financial rules but it's spreading fear that italy could face a similar economic crisis as greece did with rome's debt to brussels set to increase the budgets are plans will not raise employment but will cause trouble to the savings of the terrilyn this budget is not for the people it is against the people but until expert charlie boyle says the goalposts change when it comes to countries and their financial services to europe. well considering eighty years it's actually a lot especially only in our financial services sector got one rule one another rule for another i mean if you look at the greek crisis where the big three bailout

was really your instrument banks it's a total hypocrisy by the services countries which were all the world against three countries that are going to dance or go into debt and the primary reason in government debt was because of the banking sector in the first place so there's a real problem when it's not the source of the law or against the financial services sector and unless that happens there are the problems that we continue to face and not going to be result. tech giant tesla lost one and a half billion dollars overnight after found it on musk was accused of fraud by the u.s. securities and exchange commission recent reports say musk was offered a deal to settle out of court but the client at the last minute tesla's board of directors also supported that decision saying they're fully confident in musk and his leadership well now the federal agency is seeking his removal the c.e.o. and chairman 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 the point backs of what probably should be a lot more sleep and probably should be more careful before he tweets i'm just saying this rolling the dice nothing wrong with the automobiles they're fine but the business is eight and earn mitigated the earth or other twenty they're talking about dated august the seventh where musk announced that he was considering taking tesla private proposed the share price of four hundred twenty dollars adding that he'd secured enough funding to do that while he also expressed high hopes for all existing shareholders to endorse that idea the f.c.c. though picked up on an unexpected and surprisingly. will 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 is what all this has done to tesla stock price has been falling since early august and we must

posted his tweet shares with three hundred eighty dollars but on thursday the company's stock closed 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. stock exchange commission it's going to actually look at whether this was within the rules and 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 that 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 ok that's it for now where if you tuning in this saturday thanks for tuning us to update you this hour i'm calling bright artie h.q. in moscow back with the next world news in half an hour to see them. good. this is. a church secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is

a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice so sending that of that's known as the i and then i included tuesday's out in. this. case felt. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. cooked additional note of what was an ounce of the callender some of these it's

just a. simple yes when i'm with you to. look at with a showing of the where. he's like i'm sure you have your question so it. was a little of shipping. you up and most of the book is the work of the person you're not sure. you know i don't know what the or. what. was the latest news in the past. boise believes i know you have put this was going to do some. research students are in the store yes the social to. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the
