Of the liberation. 00:20:07 Of our suite. It is very easy to do we do not have 00:20:13 a comment about this democratic and we should. Our status but if it 00:20:19 means people who are good at backlash so be our king we have done our 00:20:26 best to punish him Thais ain't an insult on unity from the original collectors 00:20:32 oxide that the African Union of on oil corporations and indeed the United Nations 00:20:39 but more you put down more registered political party in the kingdom and your 00:20:44 supporters are being accused or mean by the you strike by public sector workers 00:20:51 across the country Yeah but the movement and the movement has got people who could 00:20:57 believe in the principle so that they will do all they read. Remember that 00:21:04 to our leader in the east to say that too much can weaken the people agree with the 00:21:10 people listen to what they say and lead that into our today what I believe that the 00:21:17 people are saying that there is a way of governing We do not have 00:21:23 a plan to out the regime as it is what you are seeking called 00:21:28 a free and democratic and peaceful so I would.

Be the better way of life here so they need to happen and that none 00:22:26 of them and I believe the record to that but that it was 00:22:30 a writ of the Republic I thought about is the writ suggesting that these 00:22:35 individuals must pose 00:22:37 a bill so that they will being in the control of the court but in paragraph of the 00:22:42 rate it is saying that it did and that.

Because I've not 00:23:48 been charged under our Constitution in the us cannot be restrained from movement 00:23:53 and even the country because on the constitution of Liberia again the government of 00:23:58 that broken also will laugh at the spectacle read by any law that it believes that 00:24:03 President stop the communal investigation like in this issue of the money I think 00:24:09 we consider reserving the content of this particular rape even flag that the 00:24:14 criminal investigation being conducted and amount of money also borders on national 00:24:20 security. But the conflict in the criminal justice system in the criminal justice 00:24:24 practitioners that criminal investigations you know the devil that in the on that 00:24:29 we do that to make sure that individuals who are subject of interest consent to the 00:24:33 .

At the up for 00:31:44 a asst laughter between the 2. And they're having fun 00:31:51 at my expense after Ford's testimony nominee Brett Kavanaugh appeared before the 00:31:57 committee and offered an emotional and defiant statement of his own denying Ford's 00:32:03 allegation I'm not questioning. That Dr Ford may have been sexually assaulted by 00:32:10 some person in some place at some time but I have never done this 00:32:17 to her or to anyone that's not who I am it is not who I 00:32:24 was Cavanaugh said his name and family had been permanently destroyed by the 00:32:29 allegations against him and he angrily lashed out at Democrats for what he said was 00:32:35 a smear campaign aimed at denying him on the Supreme Court this whole 2 week 00:32:42 effort has been 00:32:43 a calculated and orchestrated political hit fuel with apparent pent up anger about 00:32:50 President Trump and the 2016 election fear that has been unfair only 00:32:57 stoked about my judicial record revenge on behalf of the Clintons. And millions of 00:33:04 dollars and money from outside left wing opposition groups Ford is one of several 00:33:10 women who have raised complaints about count on some of whom have gone public but 00:33:15 others have chosen to remain anonymous outside the hearing protesters both in favor 00:33:21 of Kavanagh and opposed to his confirmation made their feelings known senators must 00:33:27 now weigh the testimony from both foreign and Cavanaugh free agents president 00:33:31 trumps Supreme Court appointment hanging in the balance Jim alone v.o.a. 00:33:36 Numers Washington and for some perspective on all of this deal is Laura London 00:33:42 speaks with criminal defense attorney and former CIA operative Jack Rice we've 00:33:48 never seen anything like this in 00:33:49 a very long time but one thing that I look at now and it's very clear is that Dr 00:33:54 Cord honestly was credible she was and I think even Republicans crushingly said I 00:34:01 think we also found out it was 00:34:03 a tactic to kill or be mad or it appears that they're going to be able to push this 00:34:06 through and they're going to be able to vote I guess there's one other issue though 00:34:10 that is important not only were we talking about the potential nomination and 00:34:15 confirmation of the next u.s. 00:34:17 Supreme Court justice but also by can determine let her know what he said but that 00:34:21 was also the underlying question of what's going on today she many people are 00:34:25 saying seem very credible What about Judge Kavanaugh he seemed at times to get 00:34:30 pretty aggressive particularly toward some of the Democratic senators that were 00:34:34 asking him questions what stuck out to me regarding Judge Kavanagh's testimony 00:34:39 today was 00:34:40 a question of temperament normally what one would expect in this process somebody 00:34:46 who is even who would apply the standards as they see them and they would address 00:34:52 this is what we saw from Cavite I would accept her Borg record if particular I 00:34:57 think of what extent between media and air and under quote which are out of minutes 00:35:02 . Or where asking whether or not grant and how that works. 00:35:09 And that's simply not every seat but you get shell nominee every right to turn 00:35:14 around and ask the lawmaker questions to try and sort of throw it back in their 00:35:18 face and he did this over and over and over again and this is one of those that you 00:35:23 just wouldn't see and so this question of temperament is really something that 00:35:28 shocked me and aren't like your opening statement that the same we saw sort of flip 00:35:33 flop from real intense anger on the one side to almost agreement on the now not 00:35:40 that doesn't mean that he can't be emotional about things not because willingness 00:35:44 to sort of the ruling that out there as clearly as there is something that we 00:35:48 generally speaking do not see from 00:35:51 a judicial nominee at the federal level let alone the u.s. 00:35:54 Supreme Court not 00:35:55 a lot of the senators on the Democratic side were asking Mr Cavanaugh judge 00:35:59 Kavanaugh if he would recommend that this whole thing go to the f.b.i. 00:36:04 For an official nonpartisan investigation and you just seem to refuse to answer 00:36:08 that but. Is that would that be more proper protocol than what the way they've been 00:36:14 doing it or what is the most ethical way to handle this it would have been more 00:36:19 appropriate to put this before the f.b.i. 00:36:21 We're talking about a bill allegation that was surfaced subsequent to the f.b.i. 00:36:25 Investigation of the idea that the Senate Judiciary Committee can rise to the level 00:36:30 of the f.b.i. 00:36:31 When it comes to an investigation asking the question isn't enough it's the follow 00:36:36 up and what that means they don't make conclusions that's true but 00:36:39 a federal investigation talks about and Gap and that's something that you 00:36:44 frequently are going to see from 00:36:46 a bunch of publications versus people who are pros who do this dig in and day out 00:36:51 so now we wait to see what's going on Republican says they will push through with 00:36:55 a committee vote before the actual full Senate vote next week probably I know there 00:37:00 were some senators that were were concern. Some Republicans that they really need 00:37:05 all the members of their party to get this nominee through what do you expect to 00:37:09 happen here we've heard a Democrat about 00:37:12 a likable or go to court Senate and you know there's going to be the warmest 00:37:16 pressure on all Republican senators to vote as they're going to need just about 00:37:23 everybody and my guess is that tennis will certainly probably have to come into 00:37:27 play the senators have people to watch are likely going to be collared you know 00:37:33 Rick Owsley those are probably the big 3 to see exactly what's going to happen here 00:37:37 of course on the Republican side I suspect you can see the Democrats of voting and 00:37:42 walk in opposition so that's what I would expect any prediction I think of crime 00:37:46 and I will be confirmed this is 00:37:48 a political question at this point and I think that those members of the Senate on 00:37:53 the Republican side realize that their kids who in the terms and about the general 00:37:59 election is going to be coming up 2 years after that but then I could put somebody 00:38:02 on the court otherwise they look weak and they are going to look weak right now 00:38:06 criminal defense attorney former CIA operative Jack. 00:38:18 I'm Carol.

Secretary of State is expected to make his 4th 00:39:28 trip to North Korea next mob this time to 00:39:31 a Ranger's 2nd summit between President Trump 00:39:33 a North Korean leader Kim Jong Il Mr Trump who chaired 00:39:37 a un Security Council session this week said while global sanctions will remain in 00:39:43 place against Pyongyang he is hopeful 00:39:45 a breakthrough will take place Sunday nuclearization. In June I held 00:39:51 a historic summit with Chairman Kim Jong un in Singapore where he reaffirmed his 00:39:56 commitment to complete denuclearization last week Chairman Kim 00:40:02 reiterated that commitment to President moon at their 3rd summit and to me 00:40:09 in a very strong letter form I think we will make 00:40:14 a deal but unfortunately to ensure this progress continues we must enforce existing 00:40:21 u.n. 00:40:22 Security Council resolutions until the nuclear ization keris But 00:40:29 most importantly I believe that Chairman Kim Jong un 00:40:33 a man I have gotten to know and like wants peace and prosperity for North Korea 00:40:40 many things are happening behind the scenes away from the media which nobody know 00:40:45 but they are happening nevertheless and they are happening in 00:40:48 a very positive way so I think you will have some very good news coming 00:40:55 from North Korea in the coming months and years while President tribe dismissed any 00:41:01 specific schedule Korea societies senior director Stephen Norbert bills we always 00:41:06 Victor bt a banding 00:41:07 a timeline suggest Mr Trump recognizes the complexity of the talks ministration has 00:41:14 basically been 00:41:15 a. Not trying to define it by time but urgent patients and incremental approach and 00:41:22 it seems to be one that allows for 00:41:25 a commitment to the loopers ration but also for the North Koreans you know really 00:41:29 to come to the table it's 00:41:31 a complex process may take time Mr Trump chairing the un Security Council for time 00:41:37 on Wednesday said many positive things are happening behind the scenes on North 00:41:41 Korea away from the media and he also touted his very good relationship with Kim 00:41:46 Jong Il in North Korea certainly seem to want to. Progressively says Missourian has 00:41:52 expressed in New York this week it's 00:41:54 a process seems to have some momentum how important was the meeting between Pompei 00:41:59 o. 00:41:59 And his North Korean counterpart significant in that it just shows that there is 00:42:04 a communication that is open that the South Koreans in particular have fostered and 00:42:10 that seems to have some durability both the u.s. 00:42:13 President and the North Korean leader seem to need this process. Korean leader for 00:42:19 economic viability and sustainability which helps is free she u.s. 00:42:23 President for 00:42:25 a foreign policy victory ahead of the bit term election just for his own legacy and 00:42:30 South Korean president moon seems to understand that it's pushing hard this week in 00:42:35 New York not on his departure having really laid upon station or at least the next 00:42:40 step which would be 00:42:41 a 2nd Some asked by broadcast interviewers if the Chairman Kim agreed to allow 00:42:46 international inspectors into nuclear sides pump 00:42:49 a 0 said yes well adding that verification is important in any nuclear agreement is 00:42:53 this 00:42:53 a key concession Oh absolutely and that's the biggest takeaway showing young declaration 00:43:00 meet the between the South Korean president and North Korean leader Kim Jong un and 00:43:06 clearly the need to create 00:43:08 a declaration of North Korean capabilities also verification by international 00:43:13 inspectors in the same camp was to me No So that is 00:43:17 a huge take in something that the u.s. 00:43:19 And the international community insist is. Stephen 00:43:23 a lot of been said about what North Korea wants and return to we know yet what 00:43:27 North Korea wants economic opening it wants all ancient and by way of bad its Can 00:43:34 viability North Korea wants to secure its regime both through 00:43:39 a security guarantee from the United States and then the more statement. The 00:43:45 promise of some sort of economic benefits investment.
