nia was right, everyone needs help sometimes. we are so lucky nia has joined us.to bring the show up to date and be more multi—cultural and gender balanced. i've been discussing the changes with ian mccue, the thomas and friends' series producer. this is the biggest relaunch that thomas has had. it's a huge revamp. it's always evolved from the early publishing is, through to live action, and then in 2010 the cg! animation. there's always been evolving over the years. this is the biggest change, it stand with early research that we did, we reached out to different countries, parents, mothers and children, to find out what it is they like about the show and what could be improved. one sound bite from a little boy said, trains go places, thomas is a train but he doesn't go anywhere. i thought that's a good point. it set openly discussions, let's think about thomas going around the world. the first reverend aubrey book that spoke about thomas introduced him as thomas the tank engine, wants to come out of the station yard and see the world. we are 73 years late, but le

we are so lucky that nia hasjoined the steam clean — — so lucky that nia hasjoined the steam clean ——old me the thomas revamp will give other children's favourites a run for their money. i think what could the big and poor patrol don't have is trains. when a young audience loved trains. with thomas ‘s global adventure it is a fast paced series than ever before. a new theme song. diverse team. gender equality. great storytelling behind it as well. i think it is a enjoyable show for all. let's break this down and talk about gender balance because my four year rolled a lwa ys balance because my four year rolled always says why are they all boys saving the day rather than girls. what have you done about this? exactly that reason. we know from research that at least 40% of our audience are girls and in the past we have introduced a lot of female engines to the show they have always fallen into the background. so this time around, the big change for us really is we are bringing to make brand—new female engines to the show, and they will become part of the course deemed team cinema will have

nia, is there any way to keep this behind closed doors? >> it seems difficult., he doesn't say he's willing to do it in public. he said he's willing to do it in any way that the senate deems appropriate. leave it up to them. so he's sort of leaving the door open for something to happen behind closed doors. and abby did note something really fascinating here. did he actually know this woman? he didn't say he didn't. that's still an open question. these are the kind of questions that you would get at behind closed doors or open hearing. >> i think we know -- we know they went to high school together. the yearbook shows that. >> they didn't go to high school together, different schools. he went to a boys school. they all i guess socialized together. but yeah. >> good point. >> i was going to say real quick, the root of this tree is he was nominated by president trump, who has faced the women's march from the first days of his presidency. democrats, i believe, have a record number of women who have been nominated in the house. in the governor's races, they have been

nia, let's start with you. if the whole point of confirmation hearings is to get information about a nominee and whether or not they are qualified, why is the judiciary committee limiting the information saying there can only be two witnesses, and now that we have new allegations, it can only be christine blasey ford and brett kavanaugh and we don't want to hear from anybody else that could have been at the alleged party. >> they do want to rush it. they want to get him seated as soon as possible. they don't want to risk lengthening the whole process because more could come out possibly, and possibly you would have a situation where the senate democrats, maybe they get the senate after the midterms, so that's what their political calculous is at this point. they also want to make it simple. they want to make it a he said-she said. they don't want mark judge testifying openly, and given some of his writings and some of the things he wrote in his yearbook and the notion that he seemed to be a partier when he was

cnn senior political reporter nia henderson is with me. to you first. sounds like the math is on flake's side. everyone sort of woke up maybe thinking one thing and there has been this extraordinary turn of events. do you think if this happens, this additional week for this fbi investigation will help or hurt judge kavanaugh? >> you know, it depends what the fbi comes back with, right. we don't know what the scope of this fbi investigation would be. i imagine if you are the senate judiciary committee, a, you haven't wanted this investigation all along, sort of an extension of the background on this investigation. but if there is to be one, most likely they'd want to keep it very narrow. not clear that's what the fbi would do. if you're a republican, you're worried more time means perhaps more allegations and then you start to delay this thing and he starts taking on water if you're kavanaugh. if you're collins, you need a reason to tell your consistents a constituents, everything has been vetted and this is what we've come back with. it's probably like

we are so lucky nia has joined the steam team on sodor.is helping to turn the stea m tea m characters is helping to turn the steam team into a more diverse dream team. two engines are much better than one, you know! ithink team. two engines are much better than one, you know! i think it is great that there is diversity now on the show. i think it is important that children to watch the show and pink, this train looks just like that children to watch the show and pink, this train looksjust like me. the new series will also see thomas travel across the world to discover new people and cultures. it is a collaboration with the united nations to promote their sustainable developed goals. gender equality, quality education, responsible consumption. rings that would naturally fit into thomas' world, and of course, with thomas going around the world that allows us to have great stories with animals involved, so we can also do one of the sustainable development goals about life on land. i am very impressed with the clever and brave actions to save

. >> the problem is the author of the op-ed nia malika, is that they think the president doesn't understand the argument and that's why they have to swipe documents that he might sign off his desk. >> and this isn't really a new characterization of this president. we've heard from other officials on the record who said he is memos and bullet points, likes his briefings very short and easy to understand. this isn't a president who sits up late at night with briefing books in the way that bill clinton did, bush did or that obama did. i think that's the problem that all of this poses, that it only underscores other things we've heard about this president from previous books or from previous senior administration officials, from senators. bob corker, for instance, going on the record saying the white house is an adult daycare center, likening the president to a child in many ways. i think that's the problem that this white house has. also the fact that this president is just distracted by it. even as he tries to stay on the economy and move away from this sto story, i think we've seen this morn

gloria, david, nia and caitlyn are with me. gloria, you heard the president say we should go through a process, i think he is inferring that we should offer to hear her out. he is again blame game on the democrats. not a lot of compassion for the possible victim. >> no, look, i think the president believes as does mitch mcconnell that this is just a little political game that is going on to delay the nomination until after the midterms. and he kept saying how badly he feels for judge kavanaugh and he clearly knows judge kavanaugh. but then you know, talked about the democrats only wanting to obstruct and that then, you know, lapsed back into the new trump we're seeing and he has clearly been schooled on this saying that there shouldn't be a doubt. there should not be a doubt. but again saying when he was asked the question about should the fbi get back into this and look into this, he said that is not what they do. and of course we know that that is what they do if the president asked them to do it. they don't come to conclusio
