Im thank you for joining us turkish president. Is wrapping up a controversial state visit to germany the trip was meant to ease tensions between berlin but its been mobbed by the differences of a human rights a short while ago at one inaugurated a giant mosque in the west a city of cologne in his speech he said it had been a quote very successful visit in a very critical period he also had appointed woods for his post saying germany needed to do more to tackle racism and islamophobia at zero one was welcomed by a large crowd of supporters from germanys to his community they were kept apart from critics of the president staging a protest on the banks of the river rhine. When young is outside the mosque in cologne. Now simon president opened the mosque with a speech what stood out for you. Well it was a pretty interesting speech as you said he said that hed had a useful trip in difficult circumstances and he thanked the german president for the welcome he received and then he made some i would say inclusive and conciliatory comments saying for instance that this new mosque germanys largest mosque is intended for both muslims and non muslims and he also said that muslims here in germany should for instance bring their wives and children more often in the mosque and they have done in the past so including a sort of more modern time but he also went on to make some rather more political comments than you might have expected for instance calling on germany to allow turkish citizens here or people with turkish origin to have jew or nationality which possibly is a sort of comment that doesnt belong in an inauguration of a mosque he also referred to the controversy over a couple of Football Players who had their picture taken with him earlier this year which creates its a lot of difficulty saying that you know people in turkey dont understand why theres a problem with that so it was quite a wide ranging speech given that the context was the inauguration of this religious site simon edwin came to germany with the intention of easing tensions between balin and ankara was he successful. Well that will remain to be seen i think when we can look back and see if anything was achieved i think president everyones primary purpose was to smooth relations with germany and also perhaps to get some help with his economic troubles because you know thats where germany could really do something for him in there in the short term said i dont think much has come there nor is he managed to iron out these differences Angela Merkel was referring yesterday to the continuing serious differences between the two countries and while youve got german citizens as well as many thousands of other people languishing in in turkish jails as Political Prisoners that remains a problem between these two countries. Thank you.

U. S. President donald trump has ordered the f. B. I. To investigate allegations of Sexual Assault against his pick for the Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh the Senate Judiciary committee narrowly approved his nomination by eleven votes to ten but a key senator called for a week long delay before the full senate vote to decide whether he should sit on the courts earlier professor testify that covered all salted at a party when the two were teenagers governor denied the accusation. Of high drama and roy motion in the u. S. Capital protesters hitting the streets to object to the nomination of Brett Cavanagh to the countrys most powerful court.

Investigation into allegations of sexual abuse against cavanagh were furious. And the corridors outside the atmosphere was feeble and then a moment that may alter history senator jeff flake who had just declared his backing for cover. Confronted by a sexual abuse survivor. I didnt tell anyone in your telling all women for that matter that he should just stay quiet and. Dont tell me that my beloved i did not or dont want me dont think. That your dont let. Down. Hours later the republican senator was back in committee and had found his voice offering to back the controversial nominee under one condition. I think it would be. Proper to delay the floor vote. For up to but not more than one week in order to let the f. B. I. Continue to do an investigation limited in time and scope. With not dramatic compromise another flare up in the room and perhaps the country had been a vast today but it still needed the backing of one man i guess the vote was a positive vote but there seems to be a delay learn more about it goes the day goes on i just heard about it because we were together were working late are ordered an f. B. I. Investigation. Of the boy was he left work flake took the underground exit away from the public eye the end of the day of reckoning. That footage of republican senator jeff flake being cornered by two women in a lift is really resonating with women and men across social media it led to some its affiliates insisting on an f. B. I. Investigation into the allegations against covering though and my colleague on your back you know now joins me for more so i mean first of all thanks for joining me but what is it about what these two women did that has caught peoples attention what you just simply the guts it took to stop a u. S. Senator in his tracks for about five minutes and make him listen i mean he certainly didnt look like he wanted to be there he was extremely uncomfortable and they made him stop and listen to them now the two women ana maria killa and Maria Gallagher they were both tearful they were both angry and they pleaded with flake to reconsider his decision to vote for cavanagh and what really hit home with people was how roll their emotions was annamaria killer set off to woods i wanted him to feel my right each and Mary Gallagher demond that he looked her in the i when she was talking to him so literally demanding look at me and listen to me. It was really powerful and very personal stuff of course there has been a whole load of reaction on social media both positive and negative were going to have a little look at that right now well start with the positives and the many expressions of gratitude that people have tweeted this man in germany said Maria Gallagher and ana maria killa the women who confronted jeff flake the only here is here they are representing everything that is good in this world their bravest hell and i am grateful beyond gratitude and then me here from this woman in hollywood who wrote to fab girls Mary Gallagher and ana maria killa they caroll jeff flake in an elevator with their voices on the.
