the history of the senate is written. this chapter will be a flashing warning light of what to avoid. truly. judge kavanagh's confirmation is a low moment for the senate. but the core. 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 that very least we should expect a nominee for how to work. but. i do not believe judge cabinet 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 at the white house as president trump announced the nomination of this exceptionally qualified. i do not see an open mind i do not see

as reverse to senator murkowski who originally voted against the confirmation later withdrawing her vote once there 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 vote this plays out who say the court of public opinion has been quite a theatrical do you think the week long investigation on top of that played into cardinals hands well actually i think that we originally i thought once they went to the. f.b.i. investigation about that what heard that was being pushed by senator flake a republican who doesn't always vote with the g.o.p. that showed there might be some doubt they could move over however as the we've progressed and the f.b.i. came out that there was no actual evidence to corroborate her story and 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 their

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 did 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 debt you ation have been slammed by france's police force so i do penske has more details but sponsors interior minister resigned this week he's shown a spotlight on the state of the country's security and it was stall. these neighborhoods the situation there is very it is time. because today it's role of the strongest the rule of africa's radical islamists who have taken the place of the republic france has been on a high terror alert since

a wave of islamist 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 korn's own party have

a simple solution to the problem private security forces are a component which you 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 to give its privatizing security there's a real problem with the risk of private security agents being more the 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. like his blonde counterpart his relationship with women is complicated but. joy is the problem. he shoots from the hip and is a fount of firearms. just curious were you still there and the other you thought gallo part of the rising as well as the bible apparently just look at his slogan cause she. was she able to talk to his supporters like trump fans admire someone who says how what is the song my. boss now says what everybody wants to say the does not have the courage to say that's why i'm voting. number to my good how much i believe what he says in using honest person like he's patriotic thank you he's made it this far because he is not corrupt he's like

defended the movie. well it is my day to go to school. was thinking. it was pretty good to get one but even those out 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 firms get real tough on crime at all costs and in a country that has a history of around put crime and corruption his cool stuff found an audience population is fed up with corruption population is fed up with going on the crisis and in 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 what he actually thing about gay people or minorities or or human rights they're really really one the change to

human bodies just change one can argue that he's he's not serious about being the change he's not prepared for being the change this is a good argument he was really a fringe figure in brazilian politics someone who's always been there but it was all very important to change parties all the time but the point is he's contenders that they failed to present themselves as better options even though technically they might be better options. tens of thousands of paper routes into the streets of edinburgh in support of scottish independence from the united kingdom on saturday the activists were waving giant scottish flags and holding scottish not british bonnets and he were also wearing kelps and playing bagpipes in twenty sixteen scotland voted to stay in the e.u. by a large margin that britain as a whole decided to leave a referendum and twenty fourteen for scots reject independence from britain by a temple sent martin but many activists hope to win a majority in

a future. french president emanuel mccrone has urged citizens to complain less saying they should follow the example of wartime leader shall do call after a pensioner expressed anger to the president about his small pension french politicians have rounded on the crown over his words because i think he's got the wrong sort of general shoulder told me you can speak freely the only thing we don't have the right to do is complain because you would be different if everyone did the same those who complain do not do it for pleasure but because they are victims of uninterrupted tax increases 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 sometimes even from abroad must stop

people feel he seems to be young he should be careful not to give too many lessons in this is what my corn is right the friendship complaining too much i hope he'll have no reasons to complain when he's retired as well. as somebody who doesn't think. he doesn't come up even to. this american icon is like someone who thinks that life is simple and everything but he's very far from reality. he looks like the young not seen much of ron's does not know how to speak with french people granted looks like a consultant who thinks he's at the head of a company he doesn't understand that he changed his role when he became president. he looks like a cockroach who wants to impose his domination on the farm you know it doesn't work who looks like the good guy but with a smaller nose. well the art world has been left stunned after work by graffiti artist banksy which had just gone on the bahamas for over
