and to try just to show us that you are absolutely separate and different. from russia is this is the way this is the way to nowhere. in a damning speech at the u.n. russia's foreign minister lambastes the political blackmail economic pressure and brute force he says western governments are using to preserve their global dominance. angry protests in barcelona with clashes between police and separatists just two days before the first anniversary of the region's independence referendum. and

after a fractious and emotionally charged committee hearing donald trump orders an f.b.i. investigation into claims of sexual assault against his supreme court nominee. whether you're watching from. canada or from right here in studio this is our two international john thomas certainly glad to have you with us. all right russia's foreign minister wrapped up his participation at the u.n. general assembly on friday with a searing attack on western foreign policy sergey lavrov condemned what he called the parochial self-serving ambitions of a small group of countries and said to those states are undermining the organization and its principles or he's really trying to reports now from new york . the number of western states is seeking to preserve the self 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 such activities 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 stratten up 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paid dearly for the self-serving ambitions of these countries diplomacy a culture of negotiation and compromise have been replaced by unilateral restrictions like un security council approval such actions are not just illegal but also just ineffective like that long serious statement the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 surrogate covered the same global issues happened to be an event where the audience

had a giggle a few times so there is a policy a 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 disgruntled oh no. no. the law in the election is. no time for this you know and so too far too far but what if. somebody asked to issue an order from that sure that was the president. so the question is not part of the. 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 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 the evil was the world which was used to describe the country and now yeah and now i thing that you heard mr trump think several times career so what happened to the city and i 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. former u.s. diplomat jim john trust what he thought about the russian foreign minister's remarks. 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 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 well as we heard from our correspondent it's the u.s. president who has grabbed most of the attention so far at this year's u.n. general assembly here's how donald trump the parents went down with diplomats there .

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 socialism. and the misery. that it brings i am the first president ever to challenge china

on trade. on it. and its not diplomatic and may find it funny. if they weren't laughing at me they were laughing with me we had fun. the u.s. president gave plenty of attention to the north korea issue at the un headquarters donald trump it took the opportunity to praise washington's progress with however when north korea's turn came to take the stage their foreign minister well left a very different impression. so i mean i'm going from. the continuing sanctions deepen our mistrust of the u.s. the u.s. heavily relies on coercive measures that are lethal to trust building without any trust in the us we have no confidence in our national security and under such

circumstances there is no way we will unilaterally disarm ourselves. and with the foreign minister said today is to the extent that there is no progress and probably rest in washington and not in pyongyang numerous unilateral measures concessions to the united states and then again virtually nothing in return for the foreign minister said today it's step by step just recently quote we will not disarm unless confidence building measures are taken first by. now old rival remains have been reignited at the u.n. general assembly as well after the israeli prime minister announced he had knowledge of a secret iranian atomic warehouse tehran lashed out saying rather it was israel which was the only country in the middle east with undeclared nuclear weapons here's our correspondent but i've got to 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. from iran 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 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 is 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 haven't 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 a 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 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 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 elaborate 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 that addressing this major issue 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 we saw that there was a very muted reaction to him and for all the good reasons. come alone years one year anniversary of its independence vote is looming and the clashes have erupted in barcelona as a pro independence protests turned violent on saturday at least twenty four people have been injured and six arrests were made. i.

was. all riot police used force to push back crowds of 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 monday marks one year since the separatist regions controversial referendum on independence from spain which marked the worst political crisis in the country in decades materia declared the vote illegal and the national police and civil guard were heavily criticized for a violent crackdown on catalonia lessons back in two thousand and seventeen a journalist martin robards will in madrid believes tensions have not 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 the us or ignored it completely so that's one thing you have the legacy of the last that the unilateral reuss last year did not work it looks so unlikely to work again in the near future and that has divided the independence movement the main 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 at the council on society still very divided on the wounds having been hailed us as. coming up with a tweet cost him on musk and his company tesla twenty million dollars a piece in a costly deal with regulators revealed in the past hour details are stories after.

this try to control the european banking system remember the 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. is closed their u.s. dollar base had germany all over the world now european nation. we're not going to be a part of the 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 any reason so we're just going to bypass them because.

and welcome back you're watching international live from moscow now more than four hundred people are known to have died and around five hundred others injured after a powerful earthquake triggered a tsunami in indonesia on friday but the vice president fears the number of deaths could reach several thousand. waves of up to three meters tall polish on the island of civil way see there where a beach festival is actually taking place after several strong and shallow quakes rock to the region the indonesian authorities issued a tsunami warning but it was removed just thirty four minutes later they have defended their decision explaining it was based on the data they had available to them at the time you know the quake caused a major power cut it has hampered 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 lives. switching gears now tech giant tesla's chief executive ilan musk has agreed to pay a twenty million dollars fine and stepped down as the firm's chairman after reaching a settlement with the us securities and exchange commission nor had been charged with fraud over a series of tweets about taking at the electric car manufacturer private causing tesla's share price to surge separately tesco will also have to pay a twenty million dollars fine and appoint two new independent directors to its board now in a tweet dated august the seventh the mosque announced he was considering taking tesla private and proposed a price of four hundred twenty dollars per share adding that he had secured enough funding to do so he also expressed high hopes for all existing shareholders to

endorse his idea. well this as you see though picked up on an unexpected and surprising like 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 the 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. tesla's stock has been falling since early august when musk posted it his tweet shares were three hundred eighty dollars but on thursday the company's stock closed more than one hundred dollars down after the as he see accused moscow of fraud. if the votes 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 and vegas probability is the most powerful force in the universe which is why the house always wins be

the house in the case of mr musk he is obviously a very well known charismatic personality but there is a 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 a least sort of stable management that most companies require. the u.s. president has ordered an f.b.i. investigation into claims of sexual assault leveled against his supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh it comes after the senate judiciary committee approved the judge's nomination on condition that the agency is given a week to examine the allegations but the appointment process has triggered a major partisan feud in washington 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 we're here today voting on this nomination this is supposed to be an independent equal branch of government we're no longer that we're in a very we are of the trump white house it's 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 a 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. united states u.n. envoy has called for regime change in venezuela during a street protest outside the u.n. headquarters in new york. i was was was. was. venezuela has come in for some extra attention from donald trump over the past week as he announced sanctions against the president's inner circle over corruption allegations nicolas maduro is accused of driving up hyper inflation as well as human rights violations trump said millions of people have been turned into refugees and washington could use its military to oust material if need be. it's

over he named the franklin could be toppled very quickly by the military the military has said today that i just want to see a good. rate. during the day. and the lessons are all in every out there 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 longest history of any country in the entire globe meddling with other people's. affairs and when and when the u.s. i'm going to get here only talks about capitalism and eats and trump talks about our socialism it's very hypocritical us as long have it out for in this well before 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 that gators around the world especially those that that embrace capitalism

that grace us imperialism and you know function as their you know quasi allies the u.s. will resort to any alliance they know that they will play upon the geopolitical and a vast amount many united states citizens and will do these things to try to do it to try to foment you know some kind of made up scenario to instigate a war by that the female be back at the top the hour with mortars you are watching are to international so i'm glad to have you with us.

and that it's like he. said to get that i will. now add to the money add the one the money be to we could. get it if it. did it kind of thing and that is out the will it is how much of the island i think i'm going to once i'm not doing a lot about how the now growing so are in summit but i don't get to. see them out of downtown so out of town a lot of the model people. that i would have to say i'm not seeing that as i asked by the way to really. get that data.

about the site you have a map it's. all if you look them in the little. and with the. add up to the. so you have played a pushable in the sand from god to the life of that innocent civilians and the home by all means for a country you know possible i think even you know all about all and you don't. commit to crime was the sec is the national mall it's the second so what is it stephen as a few months and again also a lot of principles and values. medical

use leaks laws lead guarded. when your. mom doesn't preclude the biggest who was most of a book called a bug. chose to squish students about seeing new yorkers. just for

a little. kaiser this is the kaiser report even toil and they're begging for more money you know rates are going up and even toys you know that's why they're going to look at bringing in a toy helicopter to try to do some helicopter money right stacy that's what you need you need in aid of bringing in all kinds of liquidity to the system other was things you know them saying and so fortunately the fabulous people in toyland. while i worked 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. 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 a joke it's all going to be bailed out again or new is a helicopter exactly among those who are going to second to go gosh darn it.
