the way they deal. the rest of the world. totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change. the world should resist. and the misery.

had become a grave embarrassment. god bless the nation. thank you very much. however. 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 him even. 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 on not so long ago washington and pyongyang appeared to be on the brink of war well now the u.s. secretary of state claims both countries are at the dawn of a new day a recap of 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 your man kim for his courage and for the steps he has taken a lot of very positive things are happening with chairman kim greste relations may stall unless this compromise. 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 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. in an emotionally charged hearing on thursday donald trump supremes court nominee brett kavanaugh and the woman who accuses him of attempted rape thirty six years ago testified before the u.s. senate judiciary committee it was a big draw on t.v. across the country with twenty million people tuning in. 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 unequivocally 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 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 mean 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 another round of hearings in the senate judiciary committee the u.s. president ordered an f.b.i. investigation into capital insisting that his paper remains the best choice for the

job offer republican senator kohl to postpone the full senate confirmation and launch a week long investigation however the divide was evident among committee members during the heated 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 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 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 the 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 known number of deaths from friday's seven point four magnitude earthquake and tsunami in indonesia more than eight hundred thirty people are now confirmed dead but the 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 the rubble for survivors on the island of so the way they also trying to reach the area which is the location of the earthquake's epicenter the city of polly which was hit by the deadly tsunami is

now in ruins seventeen thousand locals are homeless there's also no drinking water and there are reports of mass looting the full extent of the disaster still unknown because roads are blocked by landslides and communications are being cut due to a widespread power outage the indonesian government's allocating more than thirty seven million dollars for the rescue and recovery operations. in a story from france of the week in a bid to try and stop the spread of disease the authorities in paris are increasing the number of special safe houses for drug addict but residents who live nearby say turning her lives into a nightmare trying to do bensky best to get. behind these a gates stands the sour district the fixer in france's first illegal venue especially for addicts the idea was to give addicts a safe space to get clear 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 gang signs about the south to shoot many locals were too afraid to speak directly on camera so if you see if you see the boy be to see if we can. set up what the law. office into what you have been. giving the city. this is the answer we didn't see the obvious but what. if you. see. the some 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 marty visited this street who was a week to witnessed an addict getting their fix. liver this is the sport where that video was shot and if you come with me now i want you to just get us. 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 up the cillit that was available they decided to get high on their own terms 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

earned significant evidence showing that it isn't toughing the desired effect and now looking up to open us up for drug crimes along with a move. i think it would be necessary to have four rooms in paris suburbs including one to do with smoking crack to balance treatment but 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 what do you can ski r.t. paris still ahead this sunday the sixteenth stage of the formula one championship in russia soppy engine victory for british driver lewis hamilton the details on that more of the news of the week.

i've been saying the numbers mean for that matter you have over one trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crime families. eighty five percent. of the bridge six percent market thirty percent to your home with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first. rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one. for the one and only.

welcome back home to some of sunday's developments about fifty minutes ago polls closed in the former yugoslav republic of macedonia and southern europe and a referendum on changing the country's name. of a vote could pave the way for the former yugoslav republic to enter international alliances which neighboring greece has been blocking previously exit polls that suggest a low voter turnout i have about thirty five percent and that's well under the required fifty percent needed to make the vote valid i'm not could prove problematic has macedonia looks to undergo change. the republic of macedonia a balkan states in southern europe that could be about to go through

a small name change it's a vote that's grabbed the attention of europe's powerhouse and even u.s. officials and it's all down to one word north the change would bring an end to a twenty seven year long to speak with greece it's concerned about historical and territorial claims as it has a province called macedonia previously the territory of the macedonian state until the beginning of the twentieth century simple on paper but is it really. referendum ballots post just one albeit double barreled question whether the macedonian people want to join nato and the u. and in turn support an agreement with greece to change the country's name to north macedonia. so it comes down to some in the country's desire to join the procedures . cream of global motor sport descended once more on the russian black sea resort of sochi for the latest round of formula one race sixteen

wrapped up a while ago with british driver lewis hamilton reaching the checkered flag in first place for the state his team sports correspondent alexy irish if he was there for us 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 maceda seen 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 witness champagne this time it didn't happen and actually retreated from the podium just before lewis opened his champagne now the race itself was absolutely fantastic i'm still recovering from the deafening noise which disrupted you know the cigarette it's you know this black sea resort it's a famous time that this event has been held in sochi i've heard people saying that

this 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 all the action was taking place in the fourth longest of formula one circuit the sultry also drawn take a look. and
