have played a crucial role in this if guarding the life of the instant civilians and by all means we can be you know part one think even you know it all and you don't. committing a crime was the sec is a national rule the second a lot of it's six he has to you months and again also our principles and values. the new sources showed the week she was gone donald trump took center stage at the united nations general assembly in new york making one bold claim after another also. recall saying that the boy who assaulted me that some day be on the u.s. supreme court wifey and mine. have been totally destroyed unemotional and divisive here in the u.s. senate more than twenty million viewers

a riveted by testimony of supreme court nominee breakup of their and professor christine ford who cues it's him or her tempted raper in the one nine hundred eighty. plus in paris locals say their daily lives have been turned into a nightmare right now after special safe routes for drug addicts have been set up we hear it can see. the supreme. court to see the obvious but while. visiting cards to see if. there are two that we can live from moscow with me kevin owen you're watching the weekly a roundup of the top stories of the last seven days and higher that news feed among those stories was this one to start with and world leaders and top diplomats are in new york this week for the seventy third united nations general assembly where they

got to grips with global issues like nuclear disarmament it was one person who certainly stole the show. donald trump president of the united states of america. china's market distortions. and the way they deal. cannot be tolerated. that nations. are as usual ripping off the rest of the world i don't like it nobody should like. very many 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 the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no authority. god bless the nations of the world thank you very much. the u.s. leader gave plenty of attention to the north korea issue taken the opportunity to praise washington's progress with pyongyang but the north korean foreign minister didn't quite much 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 wishing i would go back and forth and then we fell in love ok no

really he wrote me beautiful letters. and there are great letters to me on. 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 it wasn't so long ago was that when washington and pyongyang appeared to be on the brink of war now the u.s. secretary of state claims both countries wrote a quote dawn of a new day in the recaps the past eventful twelve months. 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 nowhere with this he will truly regret it five years as a fury the likes of which nobody has seen before totally destroy north korea rocket men mad men is on a suicide mission for himself so that if there is a state that while today kim jong un whom 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 eight letters. one i showed one of the letters just to prime minister he said this is actually a groundbreaking two letter like any other president donald trump would love to be remembered as a global peacemaker it took him a year and a half from his inauguration to zero in on his desired legacy a true br. 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 in a good disaster is still one of the dumbest e-mails one of the worst deals ever it was the iran deal i'm all for agreements but that was a bad one donald trump waved good bye 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. russian foreign minister sergey lavrov says sanctions against north korea are outdated adding that it would be better to support korean efforts rather than impose a further restrictions on the country. from lawyers for demilitarization and peace in korea he believes that despite the obvious progress and less this compromise relations may still get. 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 neither side. of the news and that emotionally charged here and donald trump supreme court nominee and the woman who accuses him of attempted rape thirty six years ago testified before the u.s. 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 i am 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. said to actually we should pray for the woman. it's a lot of wisdom from a ten year old. we mean we know we're well. i believe that if i came forward my single voice would be drowned out by a of chorus of powerful supporters this is a circus. following the testimonies the final vote on the nomination was then perspired to give the f.b.i. a week now to investigate the claims made by cavernous accuses as the agency contacted a second woman then who said that he exposed herself himself to her rather during a party also back in the nineteen eighties when he was

a university student though president trump called the initial accuser a credible witness and ordered the probe still insist that his pick is the best choice for the job. well it seemed to be a good television more than twenty million people tuned in for that hearing that divided not only the senate but america as a whole the washington correspondents mirror karma as 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 cavanaugh 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're going to 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 knew about it and you can help it you had no intention of protecting 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 will mean time away from the boat on

a related sexual misconduct allegations of course the editor of a prestigious magazine is job even though he wasn't even the person accused in burma now formally of the new york review of books claims he was pressured to quit after publishing an essay by a former canadian radio host who was charged and later acquitted of sexual assault . i feel forced to resign in fact it is a capitulation to social media and university presses i have absolutely no doubt that the me too movement is a necessary corrective on male behavior but like all the well intentioned and good things that can be undesirable consequences. kind of mopin looks at the ramifications of the 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 run 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 how things. 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 tickle repellent some of us may have. 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 need to is giving victims of 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. there's been a huge surge in the official death toll of friday seven point four magnitude quake and tsunami that hit indonesia more than eight hundred thirty people are now confirmed dead officials say that number is expected to rise into the thousands even worse the indonesian disaster management agency says around two point four million people have been affected by the disaster rescuers are searching the rubble for survivors on the island or so the way see that trying to reach at least fifty people still buried under the ruins of a hotel that collapsed in the city of palo hundreds more were badly injured in the

area and at least seventeen thousand people have been made homeless the bodies that have been recovered are now being buried in mass graves the full extent of the disaster still unknown because roads have been blocked by landslides and communications cut to outlying towns. in a bid to try to stop the spread of disease authorities in paris are increasing the number of special safe houses for drug addicts but residents who live nearby say it's turning their lives into a nightmare to do bensky investigates. behind these eight gates. the six. first illegal venue especially. addicks 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 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. the. opposite of what you have been. given if. this is the answer we see the obvious 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 r.t.

visit to the street was a week 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 project 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 on the terms violent and aggressive behavior is now being witnessed he almost daily lives. 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 earned significant evidence showing that it isn't toughing the desired effect and

now looking up to open up for drug crimes along with a move. i think it would be necessary to have four rooms in paris and suburbs including one to do with smoking crack on our balance treatment that meets 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 than ski r.t. paris. it is supposed to in moscow this sunday afternoon thanks to the weekly live from the russian capital with me kevin i would in our news review of the weekend coming up story happening right now down by the sea in russia adrenaline is running high as russia's biggest motor sport event of the year gets underway at the sochi order drug we're there to take you there after the break.

twenty drivers from ten teams will make three hundred kilometers on the race track just behind me that's fifty three laps and the biggest intrigue obviously is whether the english man the fastest englishman alive lewis hamilton would be able to strengthen his grip on that side of his already forty points at the top of the table or maybe sebastian fatso all ferarri launches a spectacular comeback and wins this race you never know and interesting to see if lewis hamilton wins this race again and he has wanted two times already before whether he would soak the russian president in champagne again on the podium just like he did back in twenty fifteen. in afghanistan in the we just go on hundreds of locals who previously worked in the country for the german army of block the

entrance to a military base demanding help from berlin they say their work has put their lives in danger no less but it seems that requests for asylum a falling on deaf ears. just not. just. on the you know. just the we. i was working at the front line with them. together german senior mentors with the german generals when i started my duty there told me. we will help you if you for some problems. you know.
