by all means we can be you know on even you know it all and you know. committing a crime was to say is a national this is a lot of it's six he says you months and again also our principles and values. the stories that shape the way donald trump took center stage at the united nations general assembly in new york making one bold claim after another bus. i recall saying that the boy who assaulted me could someday be on the u.s. supreme court wifey mine. had been totally and permanently destroyed after a lot of emotionally charged committee hearing donald trump orders an f.b.i. investigation into claims of sexual assault leveled at his supremes court nominee.

live paris a story from their local saying their daily lives have been turned into a nightmare after special safe rooms for drug addicts and set up we hear their concerns. this is a. see the spot well. if you feel. sick. by watching out here that we can live from moscow right now welcome to the weekly with me kevin owen out surrounded by the top stories of the last seven days and high up on the news feed the top of them was this we're going to start with and world leaders and top diplomats a new york the end of last week for the some two third united nations general assembly where they got to grips with global issues like nuclear disarmament there was one particular person who seem to still to show. donald trump president

of the united states of america. china's market distortions. and the way they deal. cannot be tolerated. opec nations are as usual ripping off the rest of the world i don't like it nobody should like it. will become totally dependent on russian energy and if it does not immediately change course. nations of the world should resist 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 it seemed the north korean foreign minister didn't quote much trouble. we are doing great that was a big big problem and you know the interesting one i did it and i was really being tough and so was i we got back and forth and then we fell in love ok no really he wrote. the beautiful letters and the great let us so i mean on. 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 it wasn't too long ago was it that washington and pyongyang appeared to be on the brink of war now the u.s. secretary of state claims both countries are quote dawn of a new day it to trying to recapture 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 and shooting rockets all over the place and with me he's there to get the wherewithal he will truly regret it fire fury the likes of which nobody has seen before totally destroy north korea rocket man mad man is on a suicide mission for himself that is there it's a 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 to i've received two letters from

jim and kim much personal correspondence magnificent very strong letter form incredible letters a letter that gave one i showed one of the letters just one to prime minister a b. he said this is actually a groundbreaking letter like any other president donald trump would love to be remembered as a true global peacemaker it took him a year and a half from his inauguration to zero in on his desired legacy a true breakthrough in the korean crisis barak obama was having a hard 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 the countries 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 deals i've ever seen in a good disaster is still one of the dumbest deals 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. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says sanctions against north korea dated adding it would be better to support korean efforts rather than impose further restrictions on the country eriksson wrote kids from lawyers for demilitarization of peace in korea he believes despite the obvious progress in this there is compromise soon relations still may still. 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 the north koreans and 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 a major side of. the big headline maker in the week that emotionally charged hearing donald trump's supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh the woman who accuses him of attempting to rape her thirty six years ago testified before the u.s. senate judiciary committee that on thursday it was a big draw on t.v. to across the country with twenty million people tuning in for it. 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 lives are 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 mean we 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 another round of hearings in the senate judiciary committee the us president told an f.b.i. investigation into his supreme court nominee insisting indeed that his pick still remains the best choice for the job of the republican senate to hold to perspire the full senate confirmation and launch

a week long investigation however divide was evident among the committee members during what turned to be a hated hearing. filter gallus from 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 an arm and 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 that 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'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. there's been a huge surge in the official death toll to friday some point for quake and tsunami that followed it hit indonesia well nine hundred thirty people in the confirmed dead and officials say that number is expected to roys into the thousands the disease in disaster management agency says around two point four million people have been affect. by that disaster rescuers are searching the rubble for survivors of the underside of the way see they're also trying to reach the dungarvan area where the epicenter of the quake was located the city of paolo that was hit by the deadly tsunami that followed has been left in ruins seventeen thousand locals have

been left homeless there's no drinking water and there are reports now of mass looting the full extent of the disaster still is nobody even at this stage roads have been blocked by landslides and communications cut because of the widespread ongoing power outage the disease in government says it more than thirty seven million dollars for the rescue operations. in a story from france in the week in a bid to try and stop the spread of diseases dorothy's in paris are increasing the number of special safe houses for drug addicts but it's not gone down well with residents who live nearby they say it's turned their lives into a nightmare a shell or do bensky investigate. behind these and gates stands the sour district the fixer 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 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. given if. this is the answer we see the obvious but what. 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.

taking place in broad daylight the last time on t.v. city this street who was a week to witnessed an addict getting their fix. 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 addict 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. in terms of violence and aggressive behavior is now being witnessed he almost daily will be more limited 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 torches and now looking up to open up for drug crimes along with a mobile version 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 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 it didn't skate otty paris right ahead here the sixty stage of formula one in russia such leader of the south ends in victory for british driver lewis hamilton but earlier today all the details on that more lose the week when we come back seconds away.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is often very dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. you know world a big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the

time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. again this is us international times not exactly nineteen minutes past six in the evening this sunday in afghanistan some news came in the week just gone hundreds of locals previously worked in the country for the german army blocked the entrance to a military base there demanding help from berlin they say their work has put their lives in danger but it seems their requests for asylum a falling on deaf ears. we were just. we were just. on the you know.

just. i was working at the front line with them. together what german senior mentors with the german generals when i started my duty day told me. we would help you if you for some problems. now we have this german war in afghanistan in our war here so from german officers. to relook at us to the safe place.

to we received direct and direct threats. sixty days ago by the militants tortured and. his face is smashed on. and on. that show them that we are really in danger we are not here for picnic we are not here for our time we are here to show them that we are really in danger we have really a big problem. with our fans. working on. while comforting to ark see the german ministry of defense reiterated that it had found no risk they say to the majority of up locals and they furthermore say that service with the german army would be taken into account during the asylum request procedure.

for we can support the cream of global motor sports to send once more on the russian black sea resort of sochi for the latest round of formula one race sixteen wrapped up a bit earlier with british driver lewis hamilton reaching the checkered flag in first place for the mercedes t a sports correspondent alexiou jet skis there to. we here in the black sea resort of sochi in south russia and this place is probably one of the favorite now for lewis hamilton the fastest englishman alive not only it's his third win it's also a clean sweep for the a sadist team five wins out of five here in sochi he was congratulated at the podium by the russian president was given the cup and the biggest intrigue was whether louis tomlinson would repeat his antics of twenty fifteen when he actually soaked the russian president with champagne with when his champagne this time it didn't happen to report and actually retreated from the podium just before lewis how michael opened his champagne now the race itself was absolutely fantastic i'm

still recovering from the deafening noise which disrupted you know the serenity of this black sea resort it's a face time that this event has been held in sochi i've heard people saying that this is probably the most one of the most interesting races so far this win for the fastest english man on the planet lewis hamilton means that he pretty much got one hand on the trophy fifty points at the top of the table with sebastian vettel from ferrari trailing second so it's almost guaranteed that he will win this trophy with three more races to go after that but obviously we'll see whether there's any room for the intrigue left who want to see a bit more of this all the action has taken place in the fourth largest circuit of formula one it's called the sochi all to draw it is in a bit more detail briefly. the

more the news of the wake austria'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 outlets was late or your correspondent peter all of a had the story. the austrian interior ministry has been left red faced it'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 suis 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 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 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 only 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 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. just some of the stories that shaped the last seven days here not international oh so much more for most news happening right now of course on main site com kevin i hope you have a good sunday and thanks for chatting it. it's

hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active rich in the nineteen seventies great intel had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company grown untold develops an admired drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby anything paul you know she said is just cut short arms minix a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized

for the suffering. not only want the money i want the revenge. that up a nation has made it possible in this if not i think the life of that innocent civilians and by all means we can feel part of the event you know at all and. committing a crime was the same is the national mall of the state can tell what it is exactly as you mentioned and again awful a lot of principals and valiance. 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 geographic solution saul 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 listen to that of their son as the i don't think that i can flip out at tuesday's out in the. south. east south. and the violence in lefkofsky is the race leader he's two hours twenty minutes ahead of dench inka. bought it so easy to lose the time advantage has happened on this stage. too close to the good old you come from you are

going on one job or. more probably. for you so you know i need your for one more year. you want me but none of us are. here you know but it. was. fun.
