cyber criminals likewise, pose an economic threat to the aviation specter, and its customers. for years, we have seen airlines and a third party ticket sellers, exported for the illicit tickets to be resold for profit, and underground forums. and, in the last two years, our devices have detected a sharp increase in the use of ran somewhere, to temporarily disable airline and support operations. that is often untargeted, not specifically aimed at airports, but as we have seen, it could be as well. travel is a time sensitive business, cyber criminals knowing they can extort payment from airlines that are unable to move passengers until their systems are decrypted. finally, in addition to threats to the aviation sector's for piety information, customer records, and flight operations, there are cyber threats that are intended, t -- intended to use aviation prominent place in our lives, as a means of causing psychological damage when it is affected. airport in europe and the middle east, southeast asia, to illuminate in the limited extent here, had websites debased or disruptive to

the specter of a male cross-examining a female as aggressive as arlen specter did anita hill 27 yearsgo wouldn't wash today. the backlash against whoever conducted that cross-examination would drive them from office the next time they're up for election. john: fortunately judge, i got you back after the commercial break. >> my pleasure. john: it is a good day. you can see martha maccallum's full interview tonight at 7:00 p.m. eastern on the fox news channel. take you to the markets and a check on your money. the three major indices ended the day mixed the dow falling 181 points. susan li on the floor of the new york stock exchange with the latest. susan. >> losses to start off the week here at the new york stock exchange. the dow losing ground as well as s&p 500 at the lows after the rosenstein news hit the tape. it was about trade-heavy industries, materials, industrials, weighing down on the benchmark. we got a lot of deal news to react to, comcast winning bidding war for sky news. $22 a share hefty premium and 38 plus billion dollars, and loads up comcast balance sheet with a lot o

this portion includes her opening statement and questions biden andchairman joe senator arlen specter.

so we are not in a position where a senator arlen specter could demolish her as specter did with anita woman cannot be treated that way by the government today and it simply wouldn't be tolerated. >> martha: i would argue everybody should be treated the same. regardless man or woman face the same kind of questioning. both sides have to have their hearing. both sides have to be listened to in this case and we all remember what arlen specter's hearing was like. i want to play this from the attorney who is representing christine blazey. >> ford. >> martha: ford. thank you very much. >> she clearly considers this an attempted rape. she believes that if it were not for the severe intoxication of brett kavanaugh, she would have been raped. >> almost inconceivable that this didn't come out before. it's such an extraordinary charge to accuse a federal judge of an attempted rape in his youth and to sit on that for all these years. she is going to have to explain that. >> martha: there was a witness in the room, too, according to her story. >> the witness says he wasn't there so, i don't know wh

are still under investigation for example the rise and fall of somebody like a football legend like specter and of course if these own job was like a lot of these members inside the d.s.p. the german football association their job was also on the line and i think if you look at also like for example let's go back to the ursula. that we split the country but it also i think in a way i guess it's good that germany and i guess when we look at this now germany perhaps also needs this tournament if you look at the rise of for me just interested what you're looking at pictures coming live from new york and we just heard philip lum he was the football ambassador for germany. let's just have a listen to alex on the chef and as to what he's saying. in two thousand and twenty four. thank you very much mr president if i could ask you all to please stand together next to the story dylan a trophy just in a movie that if the two from the winning bid on one side and then the president on the other for a quick photo opportunity or does it buckle over this. you have it the winning bid coming from germany of

essentially none of the parties in the governing coalition want that so you could say in many ways that specter of the rise of the far right is holding this government hostage in this very uncomfortable marriage of convenience well as you describe the government is under massive pressure at this point but the two main parties in merkel's coalition are now vowing to stop bickering and get on with the business of governing is that likely to happen under the current conditions. much depends on the interior minister he has played a leading role both in this latest crisis and in the crisis that nearly brought the government down in june. essentially what he has done in both cases is to try to play a nationalist populist card taking positions that were too extreme even for uncle americal christian democrats or conservatives and doing that because he is determined to try to win support from people in his home state of bavaria who might otherwise vote for that far right party i mentioned the a.f.d. the reason he's so worried about that party is that there is a very important election coming up in bavar

i've also decided after consultation, that senator specter will undertake the questioning of professor hill and the other witnesses. i reserve the privilege of preparing the questions myself. i want to make it clear that every republican member of this committee has been deeply involved in this process from the day judge thomas was nominated by president bush. however, in the interest of time and fairness to all the wnsz -- witnesses, i believe the procedures that have been outlined will work best for everyone involved. over 100 days ago when president bush nominated judge thomas, this committee undertook a thorough and far-reaching investigation of his background. that investigation turned up nothing questionable about the judge but rather showed him to be an individual of great character and accomplishment. during the original confirmation hearings, this committee heard from over 100 witnesses both for and against the nomination, not one of these witnesses even though opposed to this nomination, had one disparaging comment to make about clarence thomas's moral character. on the contr

us to have and i'm here because i don't want my daughters to have less rights than i have and the specter of the midterm elections coming up in less than two months hangs over everything republicans fear they could lose their control of both houses of congress despite flagging public support for the president's nominee republicans have stood by him the stories that kavanaugh his accusers tell are difficult to prove but these protesters bill. i absolutely believe her the fact that it's now been corroborated or his actions have been corroborated by other women is good but i was fine with just that one woman i wonder how many other women in his adult life have. also been harassed or worse by him the first the first accusation should should be enough to have him would withdraw withdrawn the second is just now embarrassing at this point it's shameful and he should be gone i mean i hope to accomplish that we start treating these women with with some kind of seriousness and respect i don't think they came out of nowhere i think they're i think they're for real i'm not for ruining anybody's life

and pitarases the specter of exploitation -- it raises the specter of exploitation by the radicalizedee. >> the important thing here, lou, a lot of people talk about her performance, his performance. at the end of the day despite all the conversation about credibility, the thing that mattered was did she go into that hearing and did she present any more evidence which is what she had, which is really none? she did not. in that regard it was not necessarily a good day for that side. because the problem here obviously is this is one accusation. she still cannot say where or when. the three people she named still continue to deny that it happened. if your don't have evidence, then you don't have a cause. because this is not a popularity contest. a lot of people both present as credible. that is why in the end we judge things on evidence. you had the judge come in there and emphatically and clearly deny it ever happened. >> lou: yeah. it seems to me that if you cannot sympathize with dr. ford, if a person cannot sympathize with judge kavanaugh, as well as her family, you don't have a hear

first, the dollar -- we see the specter of weakening. the second is the trade concern.e alleviating somewhat this morning. we have clarity. but it is not 2015. we have a better global growth story to say some of it emerging. -- how do'd do you you differentiate emerging markets? especially if you see increased risk from trade? how important does it come how deep the capital markets are and how liquid they are? emerging markets very a fair amount on those indicators. phil: i would say more on the equity side, you are able to differentiate. on the debt side, it is a little more illiquid. on the equity side, there are very liquid instruments we can trade the risk of the market in and out of the portfolio. i think that is critical right now, especially when driving returns. there are good earnings to be found in emerging markets. i think it is a bit of an illiquid story. alix: sector rotation -- what do you like? phil: globally? what are you asking? alix: globally. phil: we like anything that is -- as i mentioned before, not only did you have an earnings number at the highs

you were being questionedt this point by then senator arlen specter.'s listen. >> you testified this morning in response to senator biden, that the most embarrassing question inlved-- this is not too b, women's large breasts. that's a word we use all the time. that was the most embarrassing aspect of what judge thomas had said to you. >> no, the most embarrassing aspect was his description of the acts of these individuals, these women, the acts that those particular people would engage in.n' it wjust the breasts, it was the continuation of his story about what happened in those films with theeople with this characteristic, physical characteristic. >> with the physical characteristic of?re >> the largets. >> woodruff: so, professor hill, what was your percepti's of the senat questioning of you, as you look back on it? >> well, as i look back on it, i think there is evidence that --e clearly ee that staffers should not be the one designing this hearing at this point. senator specter had already indicated, prior to my stimony, that he believed clarence th

senator specter has since died. senator orrin hatch was on that committee. he literally at one point waved around a copy of the book "the exorcist" at the hearing and accused anita hill of making up some of her claims by adapting them from "the exorcist." senator chuck grassley was on that committee 27 years ago. he is now chair of that committee today. it was an all-male roster on the judiciary committee today. it is still now an all-male roster on the judiciary committee on the republican side. but now we're to be get a second chance as a country. some of those senators from back then are going to have a second chance themselves to figure out how we as a country should hear out allegations of sexual misconduct by a nominee to the united states supreme court. except this time it's not lurid and extensive allegations of sexual harassment on the job. this time the accuser of the supreme court nominee is alleging attempted rape. reporter ryan grimm at the intercept was the first to report a serious allegation had been made been supreme court nominee brett kava

the optics for republicans are potentially damaging, and they do threaten to sort of resurrect the specter of the anita hill hearings. we already heard some of that. i think the tone and tenor of the republicans questioning her, even if they are white men, would be very different because republicans are cognizant of the fact of their need to take a different tone. you've heard that i think from the white house and the senate judiciary republicans. their immediate reaction was they wanted to hear from this woman, they thought she should be heard out, they invited her to testify before the committee. that's not what we heard when anita hill came forward two days before the thomas vote in 1991. >> no question about that. they delayed the vote on this and they are offering this platform. thank you very much. outfront next, death threats reports tonight that kavanaugh's accuser has been threatened and she's been forced to move out of her home. in short, she's in high school. >>> plus kavanaugh's high school friend and defender, how did she know that kavanaugh didn't do it, we're going to ask he

not aggressively, as senator specter did with ms. hale. >> melissa: you said you've been through reason investigation yourself when they looked into your background. i wonder, not doubting that this took place, is it meaningful that they didn't find anyone else along the way? one thing we have learned in this era is that when someone is accused of doing something, it turns out it was a pattern of behavior and a bunch of people come forward. it sort of that first person that has the courage to come out. if he has been through a lot of background checks, would it be surprising to you that no one has come out, or is it possible that there are more people in the wings in your mind? >> i would be surprised if there are more people in the wings, because of the thoroughness of these investigations. i can tell you from personal experience that they are extremely thorough. i guess they never heard of this woman, and she only spoke to her therapist. they had no reason to know of the therapist. but you are right, people who do what dr. ford is

behavior to which i was a child and now let me ask you specifically about this specter of yet another chemical attack in syria this is where the turks and the americans despite all of their public disagreements are really playing on the same side because it was turkey before provided the supposed evidence on the chemical incidents that merican lately doubled down on the syrian rhetoric suggesting that they actually have strong prolife that this. when government is preparing yet another crime of this sort do you think with the risk whatever he has going away with putin know russia to you throw in his lot fully with the americans. so took it in no and you know for centuries being quite. interesting and unpredictable player so it's a good bargain and it's uses you know weeks hides over its partners to you know trade off some great deals for itself absolutely but when accusing your potential partner all of slaughtering people with the use of chemical weapons you know i question some comes politically domestically why there are the on as a president can continue you negotiating with russia

it's a question right now, particularly as you've got to imagine that the specter of a second trial is not really encouraging for anyone, even if you're in the white house, right? do they want three more weeks of the dirty business of paul manafort in the news every night? >> yeah. >> who wants this trial? it's hard to find a person that wants the paul manafort trial. >> at least three more weeks. let's remember the prosecution hasn't said yet what they're going to do about the ten charges in virginia that the jury hung on. they asked for more time to make a decision. they could still come back and push for a third trial after d.c. on those charges. and, in fact, i won't be surprised if manafort pleads tomorrow if you actually see resolution to those outstanding virginia charges as well. it would be in the white house's interest, i think. and rudy giuliani was quoted this morning seeming to encourage manafort to take a plea for that reason, a no cooperation plea. to go back to one thing about this pardon, the president has been talking about it publicly, we don't know what giuliani has

cup doesn't seem to realize that the cold war is over and the specter of soviet style marxism and leninism is no longer hanging over eastern europe meanwhile trump also doesn't seem to realize that socialism is rather popular around the world the german social democratic party the british labor party many political organizations and leaders across the world adhere to some vague form of socialism in fact socialism is getting more popular in places that are a lot closer to washington than venezuela. and we believe that every working class american deserves the opportunity to change their economic destiny and their children's future and that is what that's the message that we need to bring into the midterms. policing this crime cis in our democracy where people will do the same. to the rich. elite can and we should absolutely have a health care system that provides health care for every citizen in our country socialism is quite popular among millennia as in the united states more popular than capitalism in fact some pollsters say that if donald trump had run against bernie sanders in the twen

. >> the specter of a televised hearing with both judge kavanaugh and professor ford was ominous because of the unknown. that it was unknowable whether she would come across as a woman with nothing to gain and a credible story to tell. and whether, for all of the regard, high regard in which he's held in conservative legal circles and beyond that that would be insurmountable. are you hearing anything different from that assessment from sources close to kavanaugh? >> it's a source the white house told me that judge kavanaugh is confident in his innocence. he's confident in the case that he will present. and i think there is sadness that, clearly, dr. ford has experienced some kind of trauma. it's evidence from how she has spoken of her experience, but judge kavanaugh is very confident in his innocence. perhaps this is a case of mistaken identity. everyone is waiting to hear what dr. ford is going to say and what evidence she can give to support that it, in fact, was judge kavanaugh. >> this seems to me, bill kristol, like the moment in time when the me too movement collides with this sort

questioning feinstein's timing, not until the eve of the confirmation has feinstein or anyone raised the specter of information about him, blasting it as a 11th hour attempt to delay kavanaugh's confirmation. republican senator john skeptical saying this is a secret matter and unidentified person. right. republicans say feinstein's move will not delay next week's vote. peter alexander, nbc news. >>> kidnapping survivor elizabeth smart spoke out today for the first time since learning one of her captors will be released from prison six years earlier than expected. smart pleaded with authorities to reconsider. >> i do believe she's a threat. she is a woman who had six children and yet could co-conspire to kidnap a 14-year-old girl and not only sit next to her while being raped but encourage her husband to continue to rape me. >> the parole board says it miscalculated her sentence. she is set to go free next week. >>> we'll take a break. coming up, more from the storm zone as florence bears down. you )re woe burning down. the mysterious fires putting a bay area community on edge. >>> it's hard to s

with support from many countries here today, we have engaged with north korea, to replace the specter of conflict with a bold and new push for peace. in june, i traveled to singapore to meet face-to-face with north korea's leader, chairman kim jong un. we had highly productive conversations and meetings. we agreed that it was in both countries' interest to pursue the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. since that meeting, we have already seen a number of encouraging measures that few could have imagined a short time ago. the missiles and rockets are no longer flying in every direction. nuclear testing has stopped. some military facilities are already being dismantled. our hostages have been released. as promised, the remains of our fallen heroes are being returned home. to lay at rest in american soil. i would like to thank chairman kim for his courage and for the steps he has taken. though much work remains to be done. the sanction also stay in place until denuclearization occurs. i also want to thank the many member states who helped us reach this moment, a moment that is actu

of the senate and tell hee story -- her lsays she wishes to do so, if not on monday -- raises the specter of dramatic confrontation that echoes the one we saw 27 years ago between anita hi clarence thomas. laura: do you expect this to beg a pretty toughiation between the senate judiciary committee and dr. ford over what constitutefair terms in this incredibly charged environment? alex: we don't know much about what dr. ford is asking for. we know it was her preference and remains her preference for the fbi to conduct an investigation before she had the opportunity to sit down icd testify pu. i think there will be some wrangling going on about what the date might be and what the terms and situation might call for.ur laura: as over story reflects, this is taking placet agaie backdrop of the midterm elections, which even before this were shaping up to be a referendum on female empowerment and male impunity. alex: absoluimly. one thinrtant to remember is that both sides have the incentive to push this as far as it goes, because democrats know that the thing they have going for them the most i
