i i. i i. nomination but the country remains divided with protesting outside. truly. judge kavanagh's confirmation is a low moment for the senate. for the court. for the country. another new saturday night seize the most anticipated mixed martial arts five of the year are a superstar part of the greatest taking on russia. in las vegas we've spoken exclusively. of the plan. everything that we want to see.

him drink your vision complete tranquility. police in france around goodbye plans to private security forces as the country wrestles with improving the security situation. thanks for joining us here in moscow this is art and. first for you this hour in a major breakthrough the senate has voted fifty in favor forty eight against to confirm donald trump supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh he's been accused of sexual misconduct during his college years by christine blasi forward senators have been deeply divided on the issue taking the floor since the early morning. when the

history of the senate is written. this chapter will be a flashing red warning like reporting the supporting the accuser just because they felt like accusers had not been heard recently in the united states this is one year to the day of the need to movement happening on the other hand in the end people needed to make sure there was evidence and i think that's the reason why you saw so many g.o.p. senators who were might have been wavering actually go on and push the confirmation for do you think we can equate support for trump support for trump himself they're going to try to whether that's true or not it's up to everybody i don't think this issue has won people over to cross over the lines and either before or against president trump it just shows how deeply divided america is right now and that's very interesting four weeks out from a midterm election for president trump everything right now is for or against president trump there's no sort of i like him but i don't support the policy and it is truly a very partisan divided country and unfortunately as it's come out recently

a lot of the issues that came out this over the kavanaugh has been because of the media and the dishonest media here in the united states that we're showing on both sides putting out allegations that kind of show they had more of an agenda than just reporting the facts. the most anticipated mixed martial arts fight of the year takes place to do night in las vegas sorry saw a kind of a drug will be taking on undefeated russian no mug amid of who's bidding to retain his will title ten his all have already been boiling over. i. i. i i correspond alexia shift key travel to dagestan habib's native land to speak to his father and coach of the women up. ahead of the big fight you can practice your

fighting skills in sense on a practical out with this installation it's called knock the chickens teeth out speaks a thousand words really about what people here feel about their own people who got me out of taking on the extravagant irishman called on my gregor in a big u.f.c. fight seems controversial to you that's nothing compared to the dark history between the two fighters. beginning on the top of the two like she can what do you think about these guys. i am totally cool if you're married or relieve them. and you send me a message like location location and then i come will you will you want doesn't

matter. only three hundred miles you. will get the money that i saw and play them again that she can join a life that is for me is more than five hundred times more than maybe even a little for me personally. and to save the lives but keep going and mall these guys and i'm not going down man's knowledge straight you didn't know me. there are too many supply about this fight the east versus the west the undefeated you have seen champion coming up against the man who once defected to boxing for a big money match the fire of corner mcgregor's verbal attack somehow deep and the icy cold response by the man from dagestan speaking of which we spoke to the father of which told us that this was in fact an adopted tactic close. everything that we

wanted to see him had we've seen in him restrained a clarity of vision complete tranquility no to step back will crack mcgregor mcgregor there's nothing scary about him and although it's just a regular fight we greg has made a huge deal out of this attracting a lot of media attention that's what he does what we need though is more positivity for young people a good role model for them to exercise more and eventually become fit. father was denied a u.s. visa and will be watching the match here along with thousands of happy most devoted fans this will be the main venue it's a cinema but on sunday morning at five am it will be jam packed with closest friends and relatives but you know what it's clear where the allegiances lie here in dagestan but surprisingly elsewhere in russia not everyone is rooting for the russian fighter we. have been going there.

with them with the stern. semi by limbs are gone and i can choose because this is the that the better wrestler and he's the better than the boxer so yes i mean. you go a little or go as a corner with a boy as a corner you know these two guys. it's like us a player sourced us players close enough do you know these two guys know. you ok so you know these two guys just corner you could you pick a winner from each one yeah yeah i saw his fight so i know it's technique and skill so if i need to get a bit on him yeah so all is set for the biggest fight in the u.f.c. is twenty five year history and we will be covering it from here the land of be no more got the other. the r.t. reporting from in the republic of dagestan. he won economy gregg's homeland people

there seem to have few doubts who will win. i think mcgregor is going to win and i want mcgregor he has form he has confidence he has a good record of fighting tough opponents in tough situations and i think he's going to be back on his previous fights. i think take him a very quick if conover gets a few strikes and. came over as well to come all this way to watch a game and he's going to win how you want mcgregor to win. the whole of oregon. not the rule of law but the law of the strongest that was the damning assessment of french national security the country's outgoing interior minister prior to his resignation earlier in the week some of the measures that have been table to improve the situation have been slammed by france's police force still a dubious he has details. aspirant says interior minister resigned this week has

shown a spotlight on the state of the country's security and it was stark. i went to all these neighborhoods the situation there is very bad it's time to restore the rule of law because today's roll the lord the strongest there the rule of narco traffickers radical islamists who have taken the place of the republic france has been on a high terror alert since a wave of islam missed attacks in two thousand and fifteen which killed more than one hundred and forty people and the atrocities kept coming.

in a bid to keep france safe two hundred and fifty thousand security personnel are deployed every day but forces say they're being stretched too thin and have reached a breaking point they've worked on most twenty two million hours in overtime without any extra pay but m.p.'s from our corns own party have a simple solution to the problem private security forces are a component which we must know take into account everyone recognizes that there are no key partner there report suggests guards in places like supermarkets and shops should essentially become another arm of the security services it suggests that they could all be equipped with tasers have the right to carry concealed weapons. and even get the distinct uniform police unions off furious to give

it's privatizing security there's a real problem with the risk of private security agents being more of a risk to our citizens than an advantage right now few private security agents can carry firearms but that could also change up to three thousand could be granted the right to carry guns and rifles a situation which could cause a small revolution in homeland security again making police unions uneasy is a real risk with these ages not having enough training having a weapon in your hand means the possibility of taking your life is out of the question and he says the changes could also lead to a clear divide between the protection of vailable to those who can afford it and those who can't. foresee will fringe people have an equal right to security we want

the public service missions to effectively protect fringe people from the privatization of security because if it's privatized security will depend on the purchasing power of the fringe to defend themselves and protect themselves also the officers are worried it will move france closer to the us model a country all too familiar with gun violence so far this year there have been more than two hundred seventy mass shootings in the us mass shootings mass shooting in florida another mass shooting in a year of mass shootings the shootings continued unabated people are dying more people have been killed at schools this year and have been killed while serving in the military where the mass shooting generation while france understandably wants to make tragedies on its streets a thing of the past police have slammed the new plans and say there's a far simpler solution just give better back up to existing officers who are

accountable to the very people they're meant to protect. brazil's gearing up for a pivotal presidential election it could see power swinging to the right to allow that story after the short break. unfortunately the united nations security council in its approach to yemen is only

to listen to the speech of envoys reports every month or two months and then the representatives will mix their own i mean put them into present tense in the security council would make their statements which are always ready to. come back to brazil goes to the polls within twenty four hours for a general election where a controversial rightwing candidate is currently the front runner. joe. is well ahead in the polls as well over four merits our poll of the other candidates they're lagging behind both and now it's been getting lots of attention. to his

controversial remarks which have earned in the nickname of brazilian trump and paul can explain. if you're a fan of drama and soap operas on a national scale you should be following brazilian politics it's got impeachments corruption scandals betrayals raging passions it even comes with an r rating for violence it's a guilty pleasure addictive with its twists and turns and the season finale is just around the corner the country goes to the polls in a general election at this sunday is not want to miss if only to see the fate of the main protagonist meet. labeled the trump of the tropics like his blonde counterparts his relationship with women is complicated but. joy is the problem. he's shoots from the hip and is a fan of firearms. just because they were used to their brother

you thought girl the bottom will be already as well as the bible apparently just look at his slogan process. his supporters like trump fans admirers someone who says it how it is. also now says what everybody wants to say the does not have the courage to say that's why i'm voting. numbers game again why i believe what he says in his in honest person he's patriotic. he's made it this far because he is not corrupt he's like family because he is ethical he is our only hope and that is why i'm here even those who love to hate can't stand him because obvious similarities to trump. i think i'm not a person world like the car breaks and even the never travel protest movement is comparable to hash tag resistance in the usa.

although the anti trump backlash never quite reach such fever pitch levels possibly because nobody managed to get to trump anyhow also not who has suffered for his straight talking even getting stabs at a campaign rally. oh. oh both is like trump upgraded he takes things to a whole new level and a couple felt like the standoff and with bush. being one of the thoughts bunch of if i was there. i think of the new and out of the defense who well this is my kid goes to school. knew he was thinking. it was a pretty good student but even those out by us haven't shaken his lead in the polls his trump like promises are playing their part no will government red tape put

brazil first privatized state owned farms get real tough on crime at all costs and in a country that has a history of put crime and corruption his cool stuff found an audience population is fed up with corruption population is fed up with the economy crisis and a crisis of representative each of the traditional parties so the very fact that is leading the race as a front runner is a sign of the times here people really don't care a balt what he actually thing about gay people or minorities or or human rights they're really really one the change to a human body is just change one can argue that he's not serious about being the change he's not prepared for being the.

time after time here we're going on the ground as the british government announces a three million pound growth through improve air quality in a country where perhaps five people die each hour because of breathing in pollution coming out of the show we will not cooperate with the i.c.c. we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c. and we certainly will not join the i.c.c. we speak to one of the world's greatest human rights was geoffrey robertson who won the battle of this year's strictly come let's call party dancing was a german tango or teresa mayes frenzy. find out with me and that's in on this week's coming on the phone but first what now for international lore is something called the world court judges that this kind of arguable hate speech from president donald trump is of the. exact is very seriously. we are doing many things right now including city kids at a very low level one of the highest levels we've ever done and some might say trump's economic warfare is just a more subtle version of the kind of jokey talk from his political enemy the late

john mccain. in. britain verd spot is indeed even on the international court of justice which ruled against trump this week on the u.k. minority government leader drazen a britain for the first time lost its seat at the table to the brics india partner to brazil russia china and south africa in a mass and then brought in dad the united nations security council christopher greenwood of the united kingdom had withdrawn from the election. announces the u.n. as the president this means that india. gets elected automatically to the ports but of course some injuries amaze government may favor the views of trans national security advisor john bolton about super national legal institutions like the i.c.j. bolton says one should welcome the murder by strangulation of the international criminal court russia or the no longer an i.c.c. signatory says the usa is breaking post world war two legal norms joining me now is

one of the world's greatest human rights lawyers geoffrey robertson q.c. jeffrey thanks for coming back on since you were on louie bloom cooper the lawyer has died what would you say as his legacy around the world before we get to the salumi was a great great lawyer he was a maverick in the sense that he took on popular causes but he is legacy for free with speak in particular was great for a lot of important free speech cases in the sixty's and he was. chairman of the index on censorship he stood up for the underdog and for risen as prisoners that riotous death sentences he should in particular and he did it mostly for free he was an inspiration to my generation and he died at ninety two still writing books he was a figure

a think most steve paul in taking on the establishment which was why he was never reporting to do you should have been a lord he had the intellect sure fire. to be one of the finest judges perhaps the greatest.
