positioning themselves with some wiggle room in terms of the assessment if mr cavanaugh is fit for this lifetime job or not that those three genders senators now decided to go with a stump up vote and in that case on saturday that would be a republican majority for the confirmation all thread kevin ross is praying for jobs and the democrats would have lost that battle ok so as i understand it there are two photos to come. is there a sorry you have to review there chris i did hear that there are two and a standard to vote yes to come. well yeah this one of the first one is seventy two more and that's a procedural vote. which basically allows the senate then on the next day to make an up and down vote base really literally thumbs up or thumbs down fifty one votes have to be for mr cabinet to get the position of the supreme court and as it looks right now given the supreme is a procedural vote will happen tomorrow on saturday will be this up and down vote and mr cavanaugh will be a another or a new judge on the supreme court no matter what those demonstrators are protesters you want and wi

the democratic flock and announced via tweets just a few moments ago that he will vote also for mr cavanaugh and with this mr kevin all can brief and rest a little bit lighter and assured that he will be a nother judge or a justice is so shit on the supreme court for decades to come now there were some surprises amongst today's votes with the. yeah you can say that in the building behind me for weeks now the place and. yet the place for drama and outright thriller with this confirmation and nomination brad kevin all the surprise was lisa murkowski she came out on the g.o.p. senator lisa murkowski who said no i'm not going to vote for mr cavanaugh for very specific reasons then jeff flake the other senator who had a little bit of wiggle room or where people were not sure what direction he will vote so i am for mr cavanaugh and now susan collins does that joe mentioned the last surprise democrats who is now leaving the fold and is going to go in to vote for mr cavanaugh so it's a slam dunk for the republicans and make no mistake this is a huge win for the president and for the white house righ

mr. cavanaugh, and mr. micklos, given your work with providers and experiences at hhs, could you share with us the importance of patient involvement and consumer education to the success of innovative health care models? >> certainly. when i was at cms, and we were initially kicking off the whole aco program, there was a lot of speculation. >> would acos want sick patient ors would they want well patients? which way would they select? and now i'm in the aco business, what i learned is acos want is engaged patients. the doctors don't care if you're sick, healthy, but if you're engaged, it makes the physician's job so much easier. so we're con tantly looking for ways to engage the patient, working with community organization, religious organizations, anything that motivates the patient. trying to address issues beyond the medical issues that are recall important to the patient. because if they see that the physician practice cares about their life more broadly, they are more likely to be engaged. >> i agree w

mr. cavanaugh's people do which includes a mental health screen. the other thing is our home care program, adapted from health quality partners. nurses take on a sick, chronically ill patients come with a screen very thoroughly for a depressive illness and substance abuse, which is associated and exacerbates ntmental illness. fair amount ofa treatment need there. i would also tell you, we find opioid addiction in the elder community is higher than we like it to be. we are dealing with that. forow have a zero co-pay people in our health plans to access opioid treatment. it all tieson that together. mental illness, substance abuse, depressive illness are really connected. senator collins: thank you. that is very helpful. senator casey: thank you for the second round. i will get to two questions. you get extra credit because you went to penn, but that's not why i'm asking you the question. i want to take you far away from a big city like philadelphia into rural communities. you know from your work, you have a proven track record of working in those pa

tomorrow or within or after thirty hours to vote to have a up and down vote on the nomination of mr cavanaugh as supreme court judge so looking at it from this end does this mean it's a close case is does he have a shoo in is he guaranteed this position all could the wavering republicans for example have an impact on the vote tomorrow. close case by no means oh no you nailed it there's still three republicans who are wavering who. reserve themselves some wiggle room in decision making if they want to go with kavanagh meaning voting yes for the nomination of mr cavanaugh that is jeff flake from arizona susan collins from maine and lisa murkowski from alaska now susan collins the senator g.o.p. senator from maine said she will decide today at three pm local here in the afternoon if she's going to vote tomorrow if this vote happens tomorrow and it looks like it will now. she will vote and she will decide by three pm today our time here in washington if she's going to vote yes or no so this is going to be exciting and ongoing drama here in washington so ongoing drama on capitol hill but outside h

what about mr cavanaugh is performance there because a lot of people watching that would say it was extremely emotionally charged and partisan and that perhaps is not the kind of character that the united states should have sitting at its highest cold she. if i had two little girls and a wife and we've been married that many years and someone had just accused me of being a fan of gang rape i think i would be a little teary eyed to do it's humiliating and shameful and yes it is something that would make a normal man a normal upstanding individual feel emotion it's certainly a valid response it's shocking to me the same people on the left that say they care about women and they're her in their pain are the same people judging whether or not someone's emotions are real or authentic give me a break. to just have fun of the times and it will live online these days and there's no escape from anything anyway or until we've got to leave it there but don't griffin republican official media contributor thanks for your time. thank you . and i'm president a cold case in britain could see historic changes

mr. cavanaugh did any of these things, but just as a general.ust want to throw some of those things out there and let viewers know some of these facts that i think are being misrepresented, although i do appreciate you, mr. cunningham. i do have respect for your opinions. host: we will let our guest respond. guest: you lay out very well, i think, the conservative case for judge kavanaugh and the way this has been handled. i will note this. last thursday, when many of us watched the testimony or exerts of the testimony, after spoke, theresey was no when that day saying she looked like she was lying or question what she said. i turned on fox news and watched chris wallace and others shaking their heads saying, wow, she seems quite truthful. we need to really take this extremely seriously. at that time, nobody was questioning dr. ford's testimony. after judge kavanaugh spoke, he of course came forcefully, angrily, pushed back very hard. you did hear a lot of people questioning his veracity. and i am at the same people on the left, but people on the

they say that the republicans lose two votes two of those senators in their effort to confirm mr cavanaugh from the supreme court then the democrats given that the democrats are unified vote against him then his candidacy for the supreme court is off and that's the danger here and this is what the white house as well as the president now need to be concerned about. so meanwhile a senate is awaiting the results of the f.b.i. investigation into these allegations. that's correct the f.b.i. investigation is still ongoing there were rumors today as well as yesterday that it might be released today there's no indication so far that the f.b.i. will release this today but this can happen any time bottom line is here though it doesn't matter what the f.b.i. finds out senate majority leader g.o.p. leader mitch mcconnell has said that there will be a vote up and down vote on the kavanaugh. candidacy for the supreme court this week so friday no matter what the f.b.i. report says will be the vote and this is where these three senators g.o.p. senators come in again they are critical of the g.o.p. the re

senator from alaska she also came out with a decisive statement and said she will vote against mr cavanaugh so the question is and the wiggle room here is with susan collins who is speaking right now and who will decide if she goes with or against mr given all and last but not least joe mentioned democratic senator who voted in the last vote today to get the vote out to the senate floor tomorrow for that to happen so that's the democrats senator democratic senator from west virginia and he is kind of skipping the line of the democrats in sitting probably are siding with republicans at least it looks like this right who knew pumpkins could be so interesting exciting stephens even in washington thank you. well the capitol controversy has become a flashpoint in the me too movement against sexual harassment by men in power it's been a year since the movement took off spot by explosive allegations against hollywood producer harvey weinstein a year on me too remains a powerful force on social media social media editor john had read hostile welcome let's take a look back at them how did mean to sa

formerjustice john paul stevens has said, in his opinion, mr cavanaugh does not belong on the highest is a fine federal judge but his performances during the hearings "cause me to change my mind." for many of us, i think that is what we saw there and how political and how inside the democratic party he is. and also, how angry he became —— anti the democratic party. also the involvement and the tweaking of the president. that leaves... we're going to find out tomorrow, aren't we? the final vote tomorrow. the american bar association also said he's qualified but he more scrutiny. that was last week. let's go to the guardian. you've got a special interest in this particular story. these two sharing the nobel peace prize. we had an interview today. we had an interview with him once he finished surgery because when the nobel representatives try to reach and can be connected him because he was performing what is very important surgery. this is... what i heard was a man that would notjust to talk about him, not even asian and talking about his past work. he's interested in and what he immedi

anymore with the appointment and with the with the nomination and confirmation not appointment of mr cavanaugh which will go turn to the right so it will be a conservative vote which will not represent america because as you can see america is politically speaking a divided country it is really really split deeply split along the political divide and that is pro kavanaugh versus contra or against kavanaugh and the anti kavanaugh protesters are having a last to re here with battle cries like shame shame shame on you and that is obviously addressed to the senators those critical senator susan collins and jeff flake the republicans who will as they have said vote yes for the confirmation of fred cavanaugh but stephanie let's not forget that this is a big victory at least it would be for donald trump's republican party wouldn't it . absolutely right no doubt a huge victory for the white house for donald trump and his agenda two thousand and sixteen campaign remember he came out said you can like me or hate me i don't really care but i will be if i am elected i will be nominating conservative judge

republicans and lisa murkowski the republican governor senator who has said she will not vote for mr cavanaugh abstain to vote and this is how it comes to fifty two forty eight anyway this is a clear victory for the white house and for the republican party that candidate brett kavanaugh is through with the nomination and that was a heavy did heavily to test that one nasty political infighting and battling here between democrats and republicans as you know and let me just fill you in what's going to happen or what's happening right now here i am right in front of the supreme court building and the protesters behind me i'm going to step out of the picture to let you take this in a little bit they just took about half an hour ago to the stairs here broke through the security line which was in front of them and now occupying the stairs now what you can see there is police or. supreme court security is is behind there and they're securing the securing the doors thoughts and now we're going to see me again but this makes for sure to a very for a very very noisy confirmation and swear in ceremony for

chambers of the supreme court mr cavanaugh will have a vote there a conservative vote and this is why the crowd behind me doesn't like at all. is it possible to have an idea of the effect this controversial confirmation and the divisions that showed up in the american body politic throughout it will have on american women because this is the heart of the controversy was of course an accusation by an american university professor that justice cabinet had attempted to rape her over thirty years ago our american women feeling today. yeah i depend on how you look at it of course women are the core group here and when i say core group that means the interest political interests of both parties is on this group women on the left democrats they are of course not happy at all to the contrary they're angry they're frustrated they don't want this candidate with this alleged history. on the on the supreme court bench not at all and they will that's what they say all along and now very very very audibly go to the polls in november nice and make sure that they will change the set up off the house

is being president too conservative judges are now on the supreme court given or assuming that mr cavanaugh will be. affirmed and confirmed in just an hour and a half time but this is huge this will change the supreme court it puts it into a more conservative track. to what's the right and this will have an impact on many many issues for this country and will with no doubt also further deepen the split along political fault lines here in this country. stephanie ones bring us the latest from washington thank you. that's our look at some of the other stories making news around the world in contrast to the political tumult back home in washington u.s. first lady melania trump has spent the last leg of her low key tour of africa visiting the egyptian pyramids and the sphinx trip took her to three other african countries where she spent time promoting a charity work. at least fifty people have been killed in congo after an oil tanker collided with another truck authorities say at least one hundred people were injured the tanker was on its way from the western city of mine to the capital kinshasa

up and down vote and with that the confirmation process of read cover now will be finished and mr cavanaugh will be supreme court judge of course as you pointed out the democrats do not like any of this and they say the f.b.i. report is incomplete and hasn't talked to the f.b.i. hasn't talked to key witnesses and key people who could shed more light on the sexual assault allegations against brett kavanaugh but here's where we are republicans say this democrats say this republicans have the majority in the senate mr kevin i will be it looks like it's a supreme court judge so stuff and i you think that realistically this f.b.i. report is not going to change anything regarding this. well. again. critical for the republican party is what those three senators whose names i just mentioned how they will. assess this report see what they think about the report the f.b.i. report and if they come to the conclusion that yes those allegations could not be corroborated by the f.b.i. and it looks like this that they exactly do this so with those three senators flake mccarthy and collins being solidly in

kavanaugh follow up testimony and then explaining her rationale why she was going to vote for mr cavanaugh today ok and then many people weren't surprised that the democratic senator joe manchin declared his hand but do you think republican lisa murkowski can still justify her no vote. i think after listening to senator collins a speech today lisa murkowski is probably giving her decision another thought i really think that senator collins and speech really just walked through the solid evidence why you could vote for kavanaugh and not have any kind of real problems as a republican a conservative or even somebody who supports the me too movement who supports women's rights and what's going on with the larger conversation about sexual assault at the end of the day senator collins made the argument that you know in this country you're innocent until proven guilty in the political considerations here really can't distract from the fact that that's the standard of justice that we have in america and i feel like she's voting yes ok so five weeks to go until the midterms the clock is ticking kav

mr. cavanaugh to be a member of the supreme court. as a ranking member, i argued against it to the best of my ability, and argued on the floor against it. that as long as appointments are made in the way they are made, which is the president has the authority to , it'sudicial appointments and advise and consent process. the problem is, there's very little advice when the parties are different in the executive branch then the legislative branch. there isn't the amount of consultation that would go on if this were a democratic president with democrats on the committee. i think everybody can understand that. circumstance.ult with respect to investigations, what we have is limited. staff that can do investigation, but we don't have a law-enforcement arm in the civil proceeding that does any investigation. we held the hearings and took the boat. you all know what that vote is. the process is what it is. i don't know how much that can be changed. appoints, and we have an opportunity to confirm. if itmed or not confirm, were a democratic maj

supreme court over the last twenty years and it's very much in question now i will say this that mr cavanaugh justice kavanah now replacing justice kennedy will not really change the balance on the high court which is typically been five to four in these cases justice kennedy voted invariably against these kinds of preferences even though on some cases he was in the minority so the court itself is situated the same way it was before the kava no appointment mr hahn thank you very much for your insights on this that is bruce fein joining us live from washington d.c. thank you. we're going to take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world more on our top story first though and these are pictures of st andrews air base in maryland where u.s. secretary of state mike pompei is about to board the plane to leave for saudi arabia he is expected to do so any moment now to board that plane on his way to saudi arabia to meet king salim on about the disappearance of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi which has put a strain on relations between these two allies the u.s. and saudi a
