as a writer between turkey and saudi arabia over a dissident journalist disappearance the u.s. takes threatens consequences if it's proven responsible. everything we want to. be answered sure sure. it's time for the. military political. with. us it isn't going to study in israel is detained. for a week for an. organization. and france is accused of allowing

a toxic pesticide to be used on its caribbean territory. i'll just say paris should own up. to. watching international live with me. welcome to the program. first developments regarding the dissidents who went missing in turkey more than a week ago security video has been obtained by a turkish t.v. channel which shows jamal khashoggi entering the saudi consulate in istanbul he hasn't been seen since but the latest his our senior correspondent. new details. emerge in the disappearance of a dissident journalist. so would you call. in istanbul days ago we saw

c.c.t.v. footage apparently showing jamal the shuggie fierce critic of saudi arabia entering the consulate new footage released by turkish media shows a black vehicle with tinted windows entering the premises of the consulate shortly after and leaving just minutes later the predominant theory echoed by both turkish and foreign media is that he has either been kidnapped or murdered and that saudi arabia is using the confusion to shift blame the use anonymous social media accounts to blame turkey and imply that turkey is behind the disappearance of shogun they are trying to say we murdered him but we will put the blame on another country meaning turkey saudi arabia has since allowed both journalists and investigators into the consulate the show that. isn't there days after his disappearance although considering that all they really have to do is show him

leaving who's responsible for showing that this person made his way out of the building obviously the consulate responsible for that you have cameras that of course you do so you have to prove that he left the premises why did you do that you should prove that the b.b.c. interviewed mr just days before his disappearance and they asked him whether he would ever return to saudi arabia. of a list of a friend who did. committing the towards to be assisted to make you feel as you do mr shoghi who has more than a million followers on twitter has been a strong critic of saudi arabia for what he says is censorship and human rights abuses and has recently been writing columns for the washington post the paper said that it would be a monstrous and unfathomable active he has been murdered and with this much attention. in the case we're about to find out more sooner rather than later.

has held talks with saudi arabian officials over the journalist's mysterious disappearance riyadh still denies any involvement because she had spent the past year in america increasing concern over the fifty nine year old impression mounted in washington with u.s. politicians hinting that the sides will face consequences if they're proven responsible we're demanding everything we want to see what's going on here that's a bad situation this will be a game changer for me regarding the kingdom of saudi this is serious at some point those questions need to turn into actions of this. rather than that but the answer is yes it's time for the united states to rethink our military political and economic relationship with saudi arabia goes down the road i'm worried about going to. continue will be met with. the executive director of the peace institute told us donald trump needs to tread carefully over his response or risk alienating

a key middle east partner the president is in a very delicate and precarious situation because on the one hand he's tied his mouth to a degree to moderates and some of the crowned prince of saudi arabia so he's going to go over there and he's going to start accusing them of murdering cautionary that he's going to fight his middle east policy in a shambles so he's in a very delicate situation i think it really underscores the toxicity of the u.s. saudi relationships which we may actually see being on rubble this was. as brett kavanaugh has his first arguments as a u.s. supreme court judge the bitterness and anger of his opponents over his appointment remains as raw as ever more takes a look at how it could have long lasting political repercussions after a great deal of controversy brett kavanaugh has been confirmed on to the u.s. supreme court is that justice now as if all that controversy weren't enough we now

have donald trump throwing some fuel on the fire on behalf of our nation i want to apologize. to bread and the entire kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure that's after civility disappeared as certain elements just wanted to stop brett kavanaugh in the twitter verse things got particularly ugly a late show writer boasted about having ruined kavanagh's life which have happens i'm just not bieber and brett kavanaugh and i and furthermore we got a google exactly i had to delete the following tweet you are finished g.o.p. you polish the final nail for your own coffin you all to hell it wasn't just on social media things got pretty nasty in real life with activists harassing senators and it turns out that some of them were actually on the clock getting paid while they did it. there were people who are paid by organizations like ultraviolet to

try to harness that energy in a way that would make the viral moments that we ended up seeing on the right wing the favorite buzz word was mob the mob descended on capitol hill they have encouraged mob rule mob rule the room of the mob conservatives utilize the chaos in the capital in order to rally the troops and raise money like after ted cruz got harassed in a restaurant by activists. to be. relieved you're not married are you going to be a cruz's campaign says that the viral video boosted support and donations some experts are saying that this mob strategy is backfiring their tactics it's who are they in so republicans and so if independents even more than the prospect of impeachment does we've used everywhere because it's effective. and other

republicans who are running for office are following suit with finding swing votes as it turned off by how cavanagh was treated and we're responding now brett kavanaugh has confirmed he's on the supreme court that confrontation is over and it's starting to look like not only did the democrats lose but they alienated a lot of people in the process ok look him up and r.t. new york. has provoked strong reactions old ground with plenty of celebrities playing into showing that he's with them billions of social media and little friends and he looks at how even a simple tweet from the stars and stir things right up. to day here to tell you about taylor swift no it's not that i switched to m.t.v. she's out there in the top political headlines because taylor basically just said she'd vote for the democrats. this is

serious news and one taylor swift fan is disappointed it. well haters are going to shake shake hate hate hate hate hate guys from the right wing cam are razor sharp now taylor swift is a traitor they're saying but just a little while ago people on the left were telling her off for being too politically lazy not only as the voice of miss with mighty enough to sway an army of young voters you might well see her let's say out the united nations in a few years we've been there with some other celebs i'm not here as an expert we have failed the writing of. plays let us not fail them again there is no turning back it will be more and more up to the likes of oscar or grammy winners to fix

trouble around the. world like issues with sudan we are here to ask it's a very simple for the peace for the government in khartoum to stop really did we kill you. and children stop raping them and stop starving them mr clooney actually got detained for that your favorite t.v. or music stars are all over the place with their movements campaigns charities some end up in the news for their political messages more often then for what they're famous in the first place and dammit within a matter of weeks society it's not working the way you used to think me too for a sec sexual abuse has been institutionalized in this country i think women i think survivors i think men are are not going to allow this to continue and we're going to take back the house and maybe even the senate some of their efforts might crack you up a bit and what about free stuff about gender equality yeah. you know it's linked to

how can. we like. i'm so embarrassed right now where they meant to be funny. for most of the world and i will have mexican they. just you know but it all seems to be from the bottom of their heart what a man's. right. to. create. work. when the lines between politics and showbiz are blurring for good it seems just look at them. i think you're great kid and best friend. back atcha. thank you thank thank you very much

if you're looking to get up and personal with bill or hillary clinton you're in luck bill and you know it hillary clinton are going on tour thirteen city tour with former president bill clinton former secretary of state hillary clinton. america is great because america is good for. the upcoming may twenty nineteen around the time that twenty twenty presidential contenders are expected to start announcing that plans to run for the white house. she does not look presidential she doesn't have to stamina stamina tremendous

stamina for every job i think about trump my is allergic. to the basket of deplorable she's guilty is out what was his response and that was a. big big rather have a puppet as president or no probs a day now you have the right. academics from around the world around and on israel after the country denied entry to a u.s. student twenty two year old girl had been granted the right to enter but was detained at an israeli airport after being questioned about her political activities and her palestinian grandparents policy clear as the thing has. a very crucial moment for syria right now many believe that the country's fate will depend on how the greenman to regard the buffer zone the round the province in syria is fulfilled there are two major deadlines the first of all have you weapons should be removed from the supposed fifteen to twenty call into deep reserve around the

province by october tenth within the next five days all the militants including radical extremist groups should also leave this zone so that it may start functioning properly but we've talked about the progress with russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov and he has sounded rather optimistic to the rooms to the agreements are being fulfilled with our turkish partners having the main role there actively fighting to get all groups to cooperate on information confirms that process is going on october the fifteenth is when the demilitarized zone is will start functioning but a day or two's difference will not matter the quality of the work is much more important and we support them so it is very hard to verify independently that used information but we hear from several opposition groups including those inside the province and based outside syria and also from the turkish media that tang's rocker's missiles and multiple launch systems have already been removed from the

buffer zone and it may sound like a very positive achievement but we also hear that several radical extremist groups do not agree to participate in this initiative supported by the syrian government by the way and agreed to between putin and their dog and so this is why we should talk about the success with this. here the idea of the buffer zone around the province was to first of all avoid open military confrontation but many it greed would be a bloody and devastating one province is still home to many civilians including children this is why it's very important to act very carefully regarding these lords last area inside syria controlled by the n.t. government forces and this is why many believe that the fate of syria and where there we can talk about the end all continuation of the almost eight year long

diverse state and conflict in the country depends on how things develop in the province right now. described as the worst storm in over a century the u.s. state of florida is bracing itself as hurrican michael makes landfall wind speeds to be reaching out of two hundred forty kilometer the commissar our buildings have been ruined as waves followed the storm on land putting many lives in danger the hurricane center is warning that people shouldn't go outside even during periods of relative calm the storm has been described as potentially catastrophic with florida officials saying they're prepared for a wide spread devastation power outages have hit the area in around panama city burst leaving more than seventy three thousand properties without electricity. locals on the french island of malta nique in the caribbean say their health is at

risk because of a toxic pesticide the chemical is found on mainland france itself but islanders say it's been allowed for use on their pet all the plantations but that cate's and claim it's causing serious illnesses. in the nineteen seventies this compound was banned in the usa this is during this period plus started using it in martinique until ninety ninety four so the question

is why. for years we have sworn i am a hailed as pesticides not one year or two it was five years on a russian health agency officials leaders and no one not population this is very last. seen it's not possible to get an estimate of the number of patients who are victims of florida con the priority is to determine the number of farmers who are working in the banana plantations i don't know there are hundreds and many of them have died of prostate cancer many have premature babies why do they let french people sleep speak to a chase because they contaminate to be let off eat the same tasting same period

tomato when one is aware of their product to stop it is still use that is assassination and such as much of the french state is complicit in this assassination because they will slice the nice toxic. love. that lives on the state must take its. share of responsibility for this belief must make progress on the path for abrasion and project i hope that collectively we will put our efforts to resume food that's the only thing that makes sense. wants to there in deleterious than it is unfortunately irreversible. i expect the culprits to take responsibility and face the consequences. for the global chemical weapons watchdog that's currently holding talks on possible measures and funding that would allow it to apportion blame during its

investigations the head of the russian delegation that. has slammed the idea and called it a political tactic and is to see it as across the story this is happening at a session of the o.p.c. w. where russia is in fact expressing very strong opposition to the idea of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons being able to assign blame and point fingers outside of the usual scope that has existed until recently where they investigate the use of chemical weapons so this is something that russia says is in violation of international regulations specifically taking away the previous parag from the united nations security council which is essentially in charge of dealing and ruling on issues of war and peace here's some more detail from the russian envoy to the c.w. . we believe that the potential decision on the o.p.c. budget which according to the secretary its plan should increase by four million

euros is illegitimate it's a direct outcome of the season taken in june we believe our colleagues are planning to use the money for granting power to the a.p.c. to identify the guilty and we believe that decision should be blocked. all of this comes at a time when we are seeing a sort of anti russia euphoria and a wave of believe being assigned against russia this has all come up this summer where the u.k. had the initiative to put forward this idea of allowing the o.p.c. w to assign blame as part of its work and we know that eighty two countries out of one hundred ninety three members of the o p c w had supported this idea where twenty four voted against it and twenty six abstained and the russian envoy to the o.p.c. w. also pointed out that according to him the. accusations are baseless he talked about how neither the o.p.c.

w nor porton down were able to assign the origin of the novacek being talked about he said that he thinks there is no doubt that porton down has previously worked and continues to work with novacek type agents he's also denied any accusations made against russia just last week trying to blame it for attempting to carry out a cyber attack out the o.p.c. w. vision piece a calling for a medical inquiry into reports that some doctors in the u.k. have been secretly charging couples for choosing the desired sex of their child gender selection through in vitro fertilization is legal in britain only on grounds of medical reasons the country's medical watchdog has expressed concern over these latest revelations we're confident that the vast majority of the. do not recommend six selection brought however would take allegations of sex selection seriously

rule investigate and in specific cases brought to. according to british media couples have paid up to fourteen thousand pounds for the illegal procedure several senior doctors have allegedly set up appointments a private clinics in the u.k. for clients and they then complete the medical treatment abroad in countries like cyprus and the e.u. . we discussed this issue with political activist kate smith white and josephine quinta val who's the founder of comment on reproductive ethics which focuses on ethical dilemmas in the protection there are medical conditions which either only affect boys or only affect girls and it's actually fairly standard practice in lots of places around the world for couples who have a family history of those kind of conditions to be given i.v.'s from given the opportunity to select the gender of child that is less likely to suffer from those conditions i think we would all take steps to try and make sure that children were less likely to have problems later in life in all sorts of different ways the idea

of just choosing the sex of your child based on a whim i think you know i think to me it sounds horrifying but what we should be asking really is the question what kind of cultural reliving it if people have a really strong feeling if people really really only want of course should we be forcing those people to have a girl do we want a girl raised in a family that really only wants a boy in a culture that evidently values boys much more strongly by rejecting the embryo you don't want on the basis of that six and i think that six discrimination give women the vote i believe in women's rights etc i think women are quite capable of accepting a pregnancy and do not need to go into this nonsense of i want to boil i want to girl you can suggest i might like one i have five lovely sons i might have at some stage for wouldn't it be nice to have a girl i've now got four lovely granddaughters you know boys and girls in my opinion are absolutely equal and i don't think you should do anything deliberate two to make. a choice because the process is that you need to do

is to discard the embryos of the wrong six when i.v. after is done it is absolutely standard to create more embryos than you intend to implant the spare embryos are normally kept in a fridge freezer or whatever to be used in the future if they're wanted every year lots and lots of embryos are discarded because. people have ideas from actually don't want to have ten children they want to have one or two children it's absolutely standard if you are against discarding embryos then you are against i.v.'s and you welcome to campaign on that front person i think it's a very fantastic process and it's brilliant that it's available to couples and it's couples have a strong feeling about what the woman does or doesn't want to be president. want what she wants to go on and it is inevitable that they're going to follow up when you are choosing which are you want you're going to analyze which is male which is female you're making a choice here and this is what i'm saying i don't accept that because in choosing

my eyes i'm not going to i am going to altie on many occasions these issues come to light because some conditions pass through the male rather than the female and and families that are hard to miss in the diseases go down the eye.
