the brett kavanaugh fight solidified the right, it solidified the never trumpers and trumpers got togetherr brett kavanaugh. it energized both sides. it was a crushing defeat for the democrats, liberals and the center left. they were really crushed afterwards. but there was also in a sense the base was like we don't care if you don't have the votes, you must fight. you must fight. that was the message. and democrats went out and they fought. they really did fight to the last inch on that. i think there's a similar dynamic here. >> the thing that was so fascinating about brett kavanaugh too is they said, oh, this is really going to hurt democrats in the midterms. >> 30 days before them as opposed to 18 months. >> and there was a complete misapprehension. i think democrats think the american people aren't with them even when they are and republicans vice versa. they think the american people support them because they define it as a very slice of the electorate. >> nancy pelosi has won with the playbook but justin amash showed if you go out in a principled way and say i believe this. i have n

but it's coming from congress, as well as certainly some of what president trumper said, if you takethat this was a big mistake but it may not have been intentional. it may have been a general, who did this as opposed to the state. this is not what irani same. some of who have been listening to what has been said, says a deliberate action because this drone was not there — make up the spine, perhaps america need to ta ke the spine, perhaps america need to take a harder tone. we know the national security advisor in the white housejohn national security advisor in the white house john has national security advisor in the white housejohn has been really assuring donald trump to do more against iran to take a harder line at the moment, president trump doesn't seem to want to do that. but we are going to continue to get these two different messages from two different countries. even in the last few hours, we have had two separate maps released of this drone incident, the first comes from anna rainey and foreign minister —— iranian foreign minister for topic seems to establish that this w

this is something countries like japan have also been impacted with given comments from president trumperlk about over the next you days. good to talk to you. —— next few days. let's bring you some live pictures now from the italian city genoa where in the next half an hour, the remaining two support towers of the genoa bridge will be demolished in a series of controlled explosions. the bridge collapsed in august last year — killing 43 people. this bridge will be demolished very soon and making way for a new structure. we understand that a ship is just standing outside of the water, waiting to bring in new metal parts and concrete parts for a new structure for that infrastructure in the city of genoa. 0nce structure for that infrastructure in the city of genoa. once we have those pictures we will come back to them. the bridge in genoa awaiting detonation. shirley yu, senior visiting fellow, institute of global affairs at lse is with me now. what is happening at the g20. donald trump and xi, do you think there will be some kind of resolution?” do not think there will be a deal. there will

also more in our chronic and long term issues perhaps you can mention israel palestine conflict and trumper putting the embassy in jerusalem that's definitely something that isn't in line also the climate change accords there's something that obviously isn't within the spirit of promoting a cohesive unity but all these things are naturally to happen when you have leaders who have their own agendas to go for and we saw strong personalities in politics so hopefully in the long term we will be able to come to some sort of agreement but you know you never know what the future holds but i think it's close when we're in the thoughts of glimmer r.t. political analyst director of the pangea wired group thank you thank you. if you are now race based genocide canadian government reporters branded decades of violence against the country's indigenous women. the truth shared in these national inquiry hearings tell the story or more accurately thousands of stories of acts of genocide against 1st nations this genocide has been empowered by colonial structures leading directly to the current increased rate

actually you know cons of the ilk of john bolton are mental to your view by prominent positions in the trumper ministration trust is the key issue. came john than he sings about the hunt chick in the demoted from his own symbolizes change that's that's a pretty hefty a lofty statement is it the case. not this junk i don't think so the overseer conjunct has to see that because in these he's desperate to have these sanctions lifted the north korean people are suffering in order harm in getting such great vision you know other people could probably judge and they have been over many years under previous administrations also to the u.s. senate as he just has just asked a bill to take him to sanctions so the optics are very impressive on the simpson vote level it's a very powerful gesture but we need to start seeing some substance from this administration because it had to see i want to shout of it what's in it and the real meaningful gestures towards a meaningful peace it seems to me that the americans under this administration are interested in a room in peace which does not involve the elevation

number two, the never trumpers are part of this confederacy -- conspiracy to get trump out, and no one is looking into the fact that hillary clinton started this whole thing. i know it will come out. i am waiting for it. hillary clinton, with the dossier, started this whole thing. as far as mccain goes, thumbs down at 2:00 in the morning on his own republicans when he ran on getting obamacare out does a good republican to me, so get that out of your head. host: where do you want to start? guest: i do not know where to start. but she typifies the frustrations a lot of voters feel, that congress is not doing their job, not passing legislation, not addressing key issues, not passing appropriation bills on time. this goes back to the parliamentary mob and the fact that you need 60 votes in the senate. the house is pretty efficient to the republican house was pretty efficient under ryan and mccarthy. the democratic house is pretty efficient. the problem is iran up against the senate and you have to muster 60 votes in the senate. neither party has that. the end result is it stymies things. i

want that to happen and there's going to be a fairly spiky moment i think when to resume a gives trumper presence which is an original draft that winston churchill wrote so of what's called the atlantic charter which which predated and laid the foundations for the united nations and trees amaze view much like the queen with actually she spoke last night's united nations as an institution is very important and is one obviously the trump has been very keen to try to bypass and so you know for all the special relationship stuff. and enduring friendship there are going to be some differences they're going to be one of these everybody's looking out for is whether in the news conferences in the lunchtime. goes off of message and tries to embarrass tourism am public by saying that he supports for example boris johnson to be the next prime minister who wants a much harder version of brecht's it than the one that always amaze been and has been unsuccessful trying to push through so it is going to be interesting i think they'll probably try to accentuate the. things they have in common but there w

very pleasant there i don't think it's going to be that pleasant across the country as the president trumper moves across london through the day. yes i'll the fed i can't hear you terribly well. just you know just just watching the pictures of donald trump in the back garden of buckingham palace. next to the queen and camilla prince charles his wife in terms of the 6 old song about the view scuse me that this will present. the to the audience in the united states you obviously what we in the public loves the royal family there. for for donald trump to be seen you know inspecting the beefeaters and having this audience with the queen. it's exactly the sort of thing that he will want for the state visits he says over and over again how much he loves britain talks about his scottish roots all the time and so for all the difficulties that this visit has it has led to for the british side for him this is exactly what he wanted and as i say i think it's very much an open question whether he's more interested in coming here to talk about trade and what the relationship with the u.k. looks like in t

some plausible deniability there was a report out there, we knew he had hired all of these anti-trumperst he kale out and personally endorsed that abusive attack on the president. doubling down on the corruption from the report. you know, and i think highly of attorney general barr but i think he's been too differential to mueller special counsel should have shut this report down from before it was even written and abuse piled on top of abuse targeting trump, and the -- this mr. mueller he needs to be investigated as well the office a of professional responsibility should be asking why did justice department prosecutor come out to suggest wrong doing by an innocent person? without any foundation, because there is no foundation if there was a foundation, there would been indictment on request for an indictment highlighting that. >> outrageous turning our judicial system on its head. saying that -- you have to prove your innocence in effect particularly for president of the united states. is it a coincidence that james comey the dirty cop wrote an op-ed that was published just a day ahead
