you're watching r t international thanks for joining us. in a major breakthrough the u.s. senate has voted fifty in favor to forty eight against to confirm supremes court nominee brett kavanaugh he's been accused of sexual misconduct during his college years by several women senators who've been deeply divided on the issue and then taking the floor since the early morning. when the history of the senate is written . this chapter will be a flashing warning light of what to avoid. kavanagh's confirmation. for the court. of the country. i just. don't see how we can put somebody on the supreme court. thinks that the president is above the law the theory of these you should expect him for. i do not believe judge kavanagh has met the

standard he puts his thumb on the scales of justice in all ways where the bias towards corporate interests i knew him as an honest and dedicated public servant i was proud to be. the nominee of this exceptionally. i do not see an open mind i do not see that i see i partisan ideologues who will do traditional backflips to rule in favor of large corporations the powerful and the elite confirming. the supreme court before the world and undermined the court's legitimacy and continued to diminish the american people's trust in it. tried to stall the voting by shouting from the senate gallery the chairman or at least a dozen times. who was countering sergeant at arms will restore order

in the gallery. and in arms to restore order in the. sergeant in arms. margin it will restore order in the gallery. and there's a direction of an outsize protest as the swarmed on capitol hill right ahead of a crucial vote hundreds of people house on condemning brett kavanaugh and chanting slogans decrying the numbingly police could be seen detaining people on friday alone or most well known hundred arrests were made to discuss this issue with scotty no he's on t.v. now this is evening news host. well i'll be honest with you it's been a few weeks full of turmoil as quickly partisan lines became the dividing lines as

what was expected what wasn't expected was in the last forty eight hours you have seen large protests that happen in the senate building with celebrities and others storming the area many of them getting arrested we have over hundred that were arrested on thursday night now you've got hundreds that have been arrested today and then forwarding on to today where you saw a democrat switching over senator manchin voting in favor of the confirmation as reverse to senator murkowski who originally voted against the confirmation later withdrawing her vote once it was sure that it was not going to make a difference so there has been a few surprises but overall in the end it is actually the republicans have been pretty solid from day one as well as the senate we've had this played out in well might say the court of public opinion has been quite a theatrical event do you think the week long investigation on top of that played into cardinals hands well actually i think that what originally i thought once they went to the f.b.i. investigation i thought that what hurt that was being pushed by senator flake

a republican who doesn't always vote with the g.o.p. that said there might be some doubt that could move over however as the week progressed and the f.b.i. came out that there was no actual evidence to collaborate her storage in there was also other things that did not necessarily match up more republicans and democrats alike were. not able to actually do what they were doing originally in the original confirmation hearings which was basically make this to be about a he said she said more about the drama they were able to pull back and say no facts matter we actually need to see what we have hard evidence on that might hurt long term the women's movement here in the united states as many women were supporting 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 me too 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 subpool. 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 has come out recently a lot of the issues that came out this over the cabinet 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 fights of the year will take place after the night in las vegas or some kind of a greg is taking on the undefeated russian of these dual mug amid of who's bidding to attain his will total trenches have already boiled of.

i. i i r correspond to lex here siskiyous traveled to douglas stan herbage native london spoken to his father and coach up. ahead of the big fight you can practice your fighting skills in sense on a practical hour 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 will get me out of taking on the extravagant irishman calling mcgregor 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 the top of the like you can what do you think about this game.

he's shown a spotlight on the state of the country 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 it's role of the law of the strongest that the rule of norco 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 a hundred and forty people and the atrocities kept coming.

in a bid to keep france safe two hundred and fifty thousand security personnel 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 my own party have a simple solution to the problem private security forces are a component which we must know take into cone's 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 a distinct uniform police unions off furious sick of cuba is 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 your medical your 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 who can or foresee all fringed people have an equal right to security we want the public service missions to effectively protect 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 is

a far simpler solution just give better back up to existing officers who are accountable to the very people they're meant to protect. at least three people have been killed and dozens more injured in a massive blast in the syrian town of the turkish border explosion occurred next to a place where fuel was being stored it caused a massive fire blast them is nearby buildings and vehicles the cause of the blast has not yet been determined but it occurred during renewed clashes between rival militant groups near a planned demilitarized zone. now brazil's gearing up for a pivotal presidential election that could see power swing to the right that story for you after this break.

why should americans work either taxes stalin and obamacare or stalin through the central bank that money transferred into the pockets of a few cartel members to create while the income gap social unrest social cohesion arrests and wide scale poverty and watch that happen.

welcome back to the polls within twenty four hours for a general election where a controversial right wing candidate is currently the front runner. both scenario is well ahead in the polls over former mayor of san paolo fernando the other candidates they are lagging behind well sonorities been getting lots of attention not least because of his controversial remarks earning him the nickname the brazilian trump daniel pork insulates. 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. labelled the trump of the tropics like his blonde counterparts his relationship with women is complicated but. they are the problem. he shoots from the hip and is a fan of firearms. which is going as well. there in the youth and endemic insecurity in short your policy the president complains all the time there is a deep misunderstanding between him and the people. these incessant insults addressed individually or collectively to the french something we're watching closely watching the hawks.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race this scary dramatic development is only going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time time to sit down and talk. yet the comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. the u.s. military has quietly said one seventy's shelf driving supply trucks twenty twenty and seeing as twenty one trillion dollars has gone unaccounted for the pentagon

over the past twenty years when the pentagon once dumped on the pentagon to get something. now simplied trucks in and of themselves don't really sound so bad right even if supply trucks run over some people that will be the least destruction our military has ever gone. but because i read a thing or two about our military i'll assume that by supply trucks they mean ruthless killing machine. and good size for the benefit of doubt even if they do mean supply drugs once those trucks are self driving around the middle east how long do you think it'll be until some old general goes well we struck a couple missiles on that day. but i don't think i missed us. the answer seventeen minutes i think seventeen. minister. until that happens and these talks are not the military's only venture into artificial intelligence the navy is seeking thirteen point five million dollars to capitalize on what they describe as

rapid advances in art artificial intelligence the air force ones to spend eighty seven million dollars on their experimentation program the army once allocates six point five million to the institute of creative technologies the marine corps are requesting seven point one million for their program so this brings up a pressing question that we will see again and again in the coming years how much do we need to fear artificial intelligence. or is it simply a great technological advancement ones that will have its own missiles. of course you can stop the advancement of technology right and every new device ultimately has missiles strapped to it i mean they automobile became the tank. the airplane became the bomber the printing press became the semiautomatic assault printing press. so it's going to happen but maybe not being paranoid maybe

i is here to help by. writing one of the talk i genius is a global says that the world is currently and in order to save it quote either we need an exponential improvement in human behavior less selfishness less short termism more collaboration more generosity or we need an exponential improvement in technology i don't think we're going to get an exponential improvement in human behavior.
