i mistrust the tibetans are. going to. be just like you know that into you but i'm a dick to sit with your middle class and in the muslims well he's going to win the . among the stories that shape the week president trump takes center stage at the united nations general assembly in new york making one bold claim after another also ahead this hour. a recall saying that the boy who assaulted me could someday be on the u.s. supreme court wifey my name has been totally and permanently destroyed.

an emotional divisive hearing in the u.s. and that's more than twenty million viewers are riveted by testimony of supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh professor christine ford who accuses him of attempted rape thirty six years ago. plus in part locals say their daily lives have been turned into a nightmare after special safe rooms for drug addicts are established we hear their concerns. this is simple to see we never did see the spot what. does he feel like to see this. with the top stories from the past seven days on right up to the moment of elements well this is the weekly on our team international hello and welcome to our top

story world leaders top diplomats have been in new york this week for the seventy third united nations general assembly while they got to grips with world issues like nuclear disarmament there was one person who certainly stole the show. the united states of america. china's market distortions. and the way they deal. with. nations are as usual. the rest of the world i don't like it nobody should like it. germany will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change

course. the world should resist that socialism. and the misery. of. the u.n. human rights council. has become a grave embarrassment no supporting recognition of the international criminal court . has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no authority. god bless the nations of the world thank you very much. well the u.s. leader gave plenty of attention to the north korea issue ticking the opportunity to praise washington's progress with. however the north korean foreign minister didn't quite. we are doing great that was

a big big problem and you know the interesting when i did it and i was really being tough and so wishing i would go back and forth and then we fell in love ok no really he wrote me beautiful letters and they're great letters. to anyone. during 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 well just twelve months ago washington and pyongyang appeared to be on the brink of war now the u.s. secretary of state claims both countries are a quote they don't love a new day here but franco now looks at how the talks will be remembered. it's only been a year and then boom donald trump's second u.n.

general assembly just listen to it i would like to thank chairman kim for his courage and for the steps he has taken a lot of very positive things are happening with chairman kim he likes me i like him we get along but most importantly i believe that chairman kim jong un wants peace and prosperity for north korea twelve months ago same building same halls same mr trump no one has shown more contempt for other nations and for the well being of their own people then the depraved regime in north korea no north korea hasn't undergone any regime change surgery chairman kim is still in his chair but miraculously little rocket man is now an awesome guy rocket man shooting rockets all over the place and with me he's not get their way with he will truly regret fire. the likes of which nobody has seen before totally

destroy north korea rocket men mad men is on a suicide mission for himself that he did it to state that while today kim jong un is the president's most admired pen pal i'm sure you've heard about the beautiful letter so i've received two letters from jim and kim much personal correspondence magnificent very strong letter form incredible letters letters page one i showed one of the letters just. to prime minister b. he said this is actually a groundbreaking letter like any other president donald trump would love to be remembered as a global peace me it took him a year and a half from his inauguration to zero in on his desired legacy a true bro. through in the korean crisis barak obama was having

a harder time segmenting his place in history books but then the year when nuclear deal came to the rescue and the mission find your perfect legacy was complete after nearly two years of intensive negotiations backed by strong sanctions become trees represented in this room achieved what decades of animosity and rhetoric did not and thanks to this deal we have seen real progress shortly after mr obama was gone the deal was left in tatters no matter how monumental it had been in the first place the worst sales i've ever seen the good disaster is still one of the dumbest e-mails one of the worst deals ever heard was the iran deal i'm all for agreements but that was a bad one donald trump waved goodbye to the green minutes he quit unilaterally without paying attention to pretty much what the rest of the world has to say about it today's action sends

a critical message the united states no longer makes empty threats when i make promises i keep that donald trump may indeed keep all his promises as president but it does happen that rivals sometimes take over the white house after term one what if and a couple of years someone else will be representing the u.s. behind these new one general assembly walls in new york a million to train from. the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov say sanctions against north korea are dated it would be better to support korean efforts rather than impose further restrictions on the country. from lawyers for at the militarization and peace in korea sees that the spike the obvious progress unless there's compromise from both sides relations and they stole. it's time to step

back a little bit and not assume that the north koreans are just going to lay down their weapons of trust for the united states because the u.s. has broken promises on numerous occasions over the decades as have the north koreans that trust has to be built up one step at a time and so this is a situation in which for the first time we have the two sides really dialogue going and it will be a chance to build trust through exchange of said but there needs to be a give and take on either side. to another big story of the week in an emotionally charged hearing donald trump supreme court nominee and the woman who accuses him of attempted rape thirty six years ago testified before the senate judiciary committee on friday. i recall saying that the boy who assaulted me could someday be on the u.s. supreme court i denied the allegation immediately categorically and unequivocal and

here today not because i want to be and terrified my family and my name have been totally and permanently destroyed my family and i have been the target of constant harassment and threats i intend no wheel well to dr ford and her family the other night actually and my daughter lies or said their prayers and little lies all of ten years old. so do i actually we should pray for the woman. it's a lot of wisdom from a ten year old. we need we you know we're well. i believe that if i came forward my single voice would be drowned out by have

a chorus of powerful supporters this is a circus. following the testimonies the final votes on the nomination was postponed to give the f.b.i. a week to investigate the claims made by kavanagh's huge users the agency had contacted the second woman who said that he exposed himself to her during a party in the one nine hundred eighty s. president trump ordered the probe but still insists that his pick is the best choice for the job. when more than twenty million people tuned in for the hearing sixteen were dismissed in court due to lack of evidence however since then twenty different women have come forward and accused him now those accusations have not yet gone to court but jian ghomeshi never got his job back there are a lot of guys more hated than me now but i was the guy everyone hated first during the first two weeks i was suicidal i contemplated the methods by which i could kill

myself i was terrified of being weak and terrified of falling asleep after the article was published there was a firestorm both in the media and on the internet pretty soon the room a was no longer the editor now the new york review of books even one as far as to publish an apology for what they thought was a poor editorial decision while mr gomes has an absolute free speech right to express his opinions were acknowledged in the presentation and editing of his story over one hundred writers and contributors to the new york review were shocked about why their colleague had lost his job we find this very troubling that the public reaction to a single it's a coup republican some of us may have phoned the souls who should have been the occasion a few improvements forced resignation now the writer of the article was indeed accused of sexual harassment but the editor in bruno wasn't he simply made the decision to publish the article now there's no question that me too is giving

victims a voice that is much needed but getting people fired for giving a voice to people whose guilt has not yet been proven is that what me too was supposed to bring about mop and r t new york we spoke to a criminal defense attorney who say he's the media is there to offer more voices on a subject not fewer there is a backlash effect occurring within journalism these days which essentially it's the professor. general death sentence upon a mistake like that and the duty of the media the duty of this of this paper was to provide information it's to give an outlet to all of those voices in general journalists and editors i believe have a heightened sense of duty to not only act as stewards of the me to movement but that includes publishing and giving weight and light to all voices and all opinions along the spectrum so i do believe it's incumbent upon those participating in that industry to offer more voices to be heard rather than less to give more of an

opportunity to be heard rather than editing in that need to movement and importantly there is a big sense of public opinion occurring where an allegation means a conviction very porous neighborhood burrs the brunt of a city initiative to help drug addicts we hear from residents in the french capital after this. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each

day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. nineteen minutes into the program welcome back in a bid to try and stop the spread of disease authorities in part this are increasing

the number of special safe houses for drug addicts but those that live nearby say it's turning their lives into a nightmare charlotte dubinsky investigates. behind these and gates is stands the sour district the fixture in france's first legal venue especially for addicts the idea was to give addicts a safe space to get clean needles to prevent the spread of disease as well as to be able to seek help but since it opened almost two years ago people are living and working on this street say it's turned their lives into a nightmare and despite gang signs about the south to shoot many locals were too afraid to speak directly on camera if you see if you see the boy be to see if we. have the back. office in the what have you. if if if. this is the way the

boy didn't see the gifts but. if you. see. what locals claim the shooting gallery as it's been dubbed by the media makes the area for more dangerous and even though hundreds of addicts have made use of the facility many also is still choosing to shoot up right here on the street videos taken in recent weeks show drug deals. taking place in broad daylight the last time on t.v. sit in the street who was packing a week to witnessed an addict getting their fix. but this is the sport where that video was shot and if you come with me now i want you to just get a sense of how close that object was to the drugs room that has been set up by the

authorities here it's just over here it's a stone's throw away and instead of using the facility that was available they decided to get hot. this violent and aggressive behavior is now being witnessed he almost daily. police statistics show that since the drugs room was opened more than one thousand eight hundred offenses have been reported for the possession of narcotics their consumption and theft despite the outcry from locals erm significant evidence showing that it isn't having the desired effect and now looking up to us for drug crimes along with. i think it would be necessary to have four rooms in paris suburbs including one to do was smoking crack on our balance treatment that needs health needs but if this pilot project is anything to go by these new versions just won't solve the problem

in fact they could create even more so what do you can ski r.t. paris. locals rallied in the afghan city of can do is on weapons against the u.s. and afghan strikes the aerial campaign is aimed at driving by the resurgent taliban but is having a devastating impact on civilians. mrs mommy took. your kids to your physical john just purely. to say is there still is a certain. group you're going to.

need to look this is the third brother. this is the job of making. sure that. while following the attacks the u.n. mission in afghanistan warned about the rising number of civilian casualties there it say's that many of the victims are children of major players in the region had

differing views all not reports. russian voiced blaming a u.s. and miscalculation enough down the stone washington in turn promised a curfew a few older operations in the two provinces' recently hit by strikes claiming u.s. forces take more care to avoid civilian casualties than anyone else but u.n. says the. tell a different story. with all these resources you cannot differentiate between gunman fired distance of villains this is not the first time they have targeted civilians several times. in a. moving

on this week austria the ruling coalition was sick accused of trying to restrict media freedoms after a memo advising the country's police not to share information with certain media likely it's was leaked while our europe correspondent peter all of our products more on the story the austrian interior ministry has been left red faced that's after an internal memo was leaked in which they instruct the police how to handle the media essentially if they don't write nice things about us give them nothing i would suggest that communication with these media should be limited to only the most necessary levels and that they should not be allowed to contain sweetie's such as exclusive accompaniments the leak included some of the media organizations on the do not engage list editor is raging with the ministry and interior minister.

this is informational blockade for bad media and sweets for the good ones our democracy does not have to be in darkness just because a minister feels too weak to withstand criticism and appears unfit for the sensitive ministry the austrian interior ministry of justified the email saying it had nothing to do directly with mystical saying that this was an attempt to try. establish a united front between the interior ministry and the police against a media that they say is biased against them this is their rights and the best way to communicate both from a legal perspective and for the journalists themselves considering this is against certain media does not come out of thin air but austria's top officials have been unequivocal in expressing their anger at the news that this email existed governments and public institutions have a groove responsibility to protect free and independent journalism and any

restriction of freedom of the pris is unacceptable freedom of expression media and press freedom of the cornerstones of our liberal democracy and of our constitutional state in austria any restriction of press freedom is unacceptable that can't be discrimination against individual media the austrian chancellor deemed this leak important enough to take time out from the un general assembly to comment on it it doesn't look like it's going away from the austrian press any time soon we'll have to wait to see if mr kurtz follows up on his words with actions. all right time to switch gears now because it's glitz and glamour galore the formula one road show returns to all eyes are on the black sea resort of sochi today as race sixteen twenty one revs off at the city's autodrome saturday's qualifying saw terry botanists finish ahead of his mercedes team it reigning
