executive than it is but i'm addicted to. send in the muslim saudis today when the . in the stories that shaped the week donald trump takes center stage at the united nations general assembly in new york making one bold claim after another. i recall saying that the boy who assaulted me could someday be on the u.s. supreme court wifey my name has been totally destroyed an emotional and divisive hearing in the u.s. senate more than twenty million viewers are riveted by testimony of supreme court

nominee brett kavanaugh and professor christine ford who accuses him of attempted rape in the one nine hundred eighty s. . plus in paris locals say there are daily lives have been turned into a nightmare after a special safe rooms for drug addicts are established we hear there are. this is something. we've never did see to believe this but what. does it 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 an hour to international hello and welcome to our top story world leaders and top diplomats have been in new york this week for the seventy third united nations general assembly while they got to grips with global issues

like nuclear disarmament there was one person who certainly the show. donald trump president of the united states of america. china's market distortions. and the way they deal. cannot be tolerated. that nation. are as usual ripping off the rest of the world i don't like it nobody should lie to. germany will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change course.

all nations of the world should use is socialism. and the misery. that is bringing the. u.n. human rights council. has become a grave embarrassment no supported recognition to the international criminal court and the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no if our. god bless the nations of the world thank you very much yeah plenty of topics breached on the us leader certainly get plenty of attention as well to north korea taking the opportunity to praise washington's progress with pyongyang however the north korean foreign minister didn't quite match trump's enthusiasm. 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 was i we'll go back and forth and. then we fell in love ok no really he wrote me beautiful letters and they're great letters to me when i'm from. uni the continuing sanctions deepen our mistrust of the us the us 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 indeed not so long ago washington and pyongyang appeared to be on the brink of war now the u.s. secretary of state claims both countries are at the dawn of a new day at a tranquil recaps the past eventful twelve months it's only been a year and then dated adding it would be better to support korean efforts rather than impose further restrictions on the country. from lawyers for daimler tries

ation and peace in korea believes that the spike the all thing is progress on lester's compromise relations may stall it's time to step back a little bit and not assume that the north koreans are just going to lay down their weapons trust for the united states because the u.s. has broken promises on numerous occasions so it's as the north koreans that trust has to be built up one step at a time and so this is a situation which for the first time we have the two sides really dialogue and it will be a chance to build trust through exchanges but there needs to be a give and take on the side. ok moving on in the motion only charge 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 bully who assaulted me could someday be on the u.s. supreme court i denied the allegation immediately categorically and unequivocally 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 ill will to dr ford and her family the other night actually and my daughter lies assert 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 olds. we need we know well.

i believe that if i came forward my single voice would be drowned out by a chorus of powerful supporters this is a circus well 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 carbonyls accusers the agency has contacted a second woman who said that he exposed himself to her during a party also in the one nine hundred eighty s. when he was a university and a student at yale university's me though present from call the initial accuser a credible witness and ordered the probe he insists that his pick is the best choice for the. well more than twenty million people tuned in for the hearing which divided not only the senate but americans as a whole are washington correspondents and your account has more. international

issues like iran d.p. r. k. and actual wars like syria and yemen have taken a back seat and capitals hearings have been a dominating the news cycle for a couple of weeks now and we witnessed a series of twists and turns over the past month or so and all of america is tuned in to find out if cavanagh did or did not sexually assault christine ford over thirty six years ago but all the suspense and media hype surrounding the case is making it seem more like a soap opera than serious news having no was questioned for hours but it looks like the only thing that's clear from all of this is that both of their lives have been turned upside down well in this incredibly polarized climate of americans chose a side long before either of them spoke republican scheduled a hearing without talking to her or even inviting her to testify republicans also scheduled this hearing with dr ford with out having her allegations investigated by the f.b.i. if you wanted an f.b.i.

investigation you could come to us what you want to do is destroy this guy's life hold this seat open and hope you win it twenty twenty you said that not me the entire country is watching how we handle these allegations i hope the american people can see through this sham that you know about it and you help it you had no in kitchen or pretending daughter for in fact it would be super difficult to find anyone whose minds were changed after listening to the testimony as of now there seems to be a motion over substance. on a related theme sexual misconduct allegations have cost the editor of a prestigious magazine his job even though he wasn't even the person accused even in berlin ny formerly of the new york review of books claims he was pressured to quit after publishing an essay by a former canadian radio host who is charged and later acquitted of sexual assault

i feel forced to resign in fact it is a capitulation to social media and university prices i have absolutely no doubt that the me too movement is a necessary corrective on male behavior but like all well intentioned and good things they can be undesirable consequences. kaleb up and looks at the ramifications of that case the new york review of books is a staple of american intellectual culture was actually hailed as the premier literary intellectual magazine of the english language by esquire and lauded by the new york times it has prided itself in posing questions americans debates about life and culture since the one nine hundred sixty s. but in the era of me to that attempted debate has fallen flat ian buruma never himself accused of sexual misconduct decides to give voice to someone who has been accused and he gets fired. my interest in running this piece as i said is the point

of view of somebody who has been pilloried in public opinion and what somebody like that feels about it it was not wrong as a piece to exonerate him or to somehow miss ingate the nature of his behavior the article that got broom of fired was written by asian ghomeshi is a canadian radio host whose career was destroyed when he was accused of sexual assault back in two thousand and sixteen now all the charges against him in twenty 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 bruno 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 it very troubling that the public reaction to a single it's a quote repel and some of us may have phoned the 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 caleb mopp and r t new york we also spoke to a criminal defense attorney in the states who say the media is there to offer more voices on the subject not fewer. there is a backlash effect occurring within journalism these days which essentially it's the professional 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. there has been a huge surge in the official death toll of friday's seven point five magnitude earthquake and tsunami in the newseum more than eight hundred thirty people are not confirmed dead and officials say that number is expected to rise into the thousands the indonesian disaster management agency says around two point four million people have been affected by the disaster rescuers are searching for the rubble in the rubble for survivors on the island of soon the ways you know they're trying to reach a police fifty people buried. all the. rubble which collapsed tell you're looking at here i believe in the city of power lou hundreds more were badly injured in the city at least seventeen thousand people have been made

homeless many indeed slept in the open air on sunday night the bodies that have been recovered are now being buried in mass graves the full extent of the disaster is still known as roads have been blocked by lun slides communications cut to lying it's. apartness neighborhood burrs the brunt of a city initiative to help drug addicts we hear from residents in the french capital after the break. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter us has over one trillion

dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the rich eight point six percent market shock thirty percent last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one doesn't show you can afford to miss the one and only. twenty minutes past eleven am here in moscow welcome back now in

a bid to try and stop the spread of disease authorities in parser increasing the number of special safe for drug addicts but those that live nearby say it's turning their lives into a nightmare charlotte dubin ski interest rates behind these a gate stands in the south the fix is supposed to illegal but new especially for addicts the idea was to give addicts a safe space to get clean needles to pay. the spread of disease as well as to be able to seek help but since it opened almost two years ago people living and working on this street say it's turned their lives into a nightmare and despite gangs diety about the south to shoot many locals were too afraid to speak directly on camera so that if you see if you see the boy be to see if we. have passed the law.

office into what you have been. giving the fed if. this is the way they put it see. if it. was locals claim that 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 also taking place in broad daylight the last time on t.v. sit in the street who was passed by we two witnessed an addict getting their fix. this is the spot where that video was shot and if you come with me now i want you to just get a sense of how close that addict was to the drugs room that is being 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 on the terms violent and aggressive behavior is now being witnessed he almost daily. police statistics show that since the drugs room was opened more than once. 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 sorties 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 with 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. this week australia's ruling coalition was accused of trying to restrict media freedoms after a memo advising the country's police not to share information with certain media outlets was leaked or europe correspondent peter over has been across the story for us. 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 but 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 and establish a united front between the interior ministry and the police against the 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 bishan of mice 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 grave responsibility to protect free and independent journalism and any restriction of freedom of the pris is an acceptable 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. 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 woods actions. the cream of global motor sport how to send it once more on russia for the latest round of the formula one championship all eyes on the black sea resort of sochi today sixteen of the f one season revs off at the city's auto drill. this will start on
