I know right is a con I have a schedule and days old a guilty pleasure shall we have a chance something that I'm not going to much try to fight for the 1st Black Monday morning from 6. This is a full night of 5 love and gotten at a boy coming up in this one man will find out what's happened to the Chinese head of Interpol as you heard in the bulletins it seems of vanished into thin air after having been taken away for questioning on his arrival in his homeland month or so ago or a couple weeks ago called to news in recent Germany or just a few days ago anyway reaction from Washington also what seems to be a clear path now for Brett Kavanaugh to become the next Supreme Court judge of the United States despite the sexual allegations against him also. Yeah well we've been having fun playing with train models pushed out Kenya desk to one side but we'll get the week's news from East Africa. Excuse me I need a glass of water clearly and also we're going to be in New Zealand towards the end of the program to find out what the weather has been like the headlines for all sorts of reasons 1st let's return to that story the good in the bulletins it's been reported in Hong Kong that the Chinese head of Interpol was taken away for questioning on his arrival in his homeland in the end of September the South China Morning Post says many Hong way is the object of an unspecified or the subject of an unspecified investigation Mr Mangan was China's deputy minister for public security before being appointed president of Interpol in 2016 let's reach our correspondent Robin Brant who's in Shanghai Robyn what exactly do we know about what happened to Mr Manning. Well that's a little. Bit of irony Mr meaningless and I'm not going to shoot Rod little Rob Robin sorry polities this line is terrible hopefully we'll be able to amend it somehow. So you say nice try again. You say what have what did happen to Mr men as far as we know. Now we seem to have lost probably brought the house we will get the game back and find more that story in a moment now look search in the Brett Kavanaugh will become Oh Robbie Brown we got you back I am head tilt and I apologies hear your line was poor to start off with but is excellent now so we can find out from you hopefully what has happened to Mr Manning. Let's try again we know very little and of course that is the huge irony in all of this the man who for the last couple of years has been president of the world's leading police Cooperation Organization has now gone missing in China we understand no one knows or certainly publicly no one knows where he is no one knows what he may be detained for what we do know is this his wife reported him missing to French police a few days ago he was last seen in public on the 29th of September he left in France where Interpol is headquartered and came to China and since then he hasn't been seen in public there are reports this morning as you say in some media here that he was indeed taken away by quote discipline or Thora tears as soon as he landed No I think that is almost certainly a reference to. Authorities officials in China's ruling Communist Party who investigate corruption investigate discipline in terms of adhering or not adhering to communist party rules but we know very little Interpol say it is a matter for what they call the relevant or thought is in both France and China but at the minute this man 64 year old vice minister of public security in this country as well as being the head of Interpol hasn't been seen for what is now 6 days and no one certainly in public knows where he is he's the head of Interpol in China and this is the problem for INS a poll there is a gym that people turn to when they're looking for somebody they're the organization the poll most of the world of course not just. You know this is an organization that coordinates cooperation between law enforcement agencies that you know on a lease ostensibly to find people. And they can't find him and they don't know where he is the point I was making is we'll know where he is the point I was making Robyn is that Mr Manning is head of Interpol in China isn't he's not the head of Interpol all over the world is it. No he's the president of Interpol globally. His appointment in 2016 in itself was hugely controversial because there are some critics obviously who regard. China's human rights record as being a very unhealthy one and there were others as well who worried that the Chinese government would use his appointments prestigious appointment prominent appointments to centrally try to chase down and try to regain control of dissidents and critics abroad returning them to the mainland. Generally misunderstood I thought the Home Away main home way was head of Interpol in China so that it's in even more complicated situation than we find ourselves in because normally Interpol would liaise with it know with various affiliates in whichever country it was somebody near the affiliate would be in China and they probably don't have much jurisdiction there. No I mean as you say there is a huge irony to this but what Or like is a matter of in turn all investigation China is a country that prides itself in not interfering in other country's internal affairs or what it describes as internal affairs and it does not regard a tool well and interference in its own affairs from international organizations or or other foreign governments so I hence that's why we have a statement I think from Interpol. You know it falls to the relevant or throw it is in France who 1st got reports from Mr Mayne's wife of his disappearance and also the authorities in China but it looks like he is probably being investigated for something to do with either corruption or internal party discipline and remember in this country party discipline for officials like him senior officials trumps. Sticking by government rules is the Communist party that comes 1st but the disappearance of high profile official certainly but also other prominent figures in business in entertainment is not that unusual in this country I mean we had just a few days ago the announcement that this country's most famous actress fan being being she's been in some of the X.-Men movies has been convicted of tax evasion she has been ordered to pay a fine of some one $130000000.00 and she's been missing for 3 months no one knew where she was some media reports but then all of a sudden after 12 weeks down she's been convicted in a huge find to pay so it's not that unusual and yet the Chinese authorities haven't commented have whether they are detaining. Mr mango or not. Nothing at all nothing official nothing unofficial That in itself as I say is not unusual either I mean there are some rules to abide by in terms of apprehending people the 24 hour period on the stand it with in which the family of those people have to be told that they are being detained but that's pretty much it I don't know why they don't know where but you know the ability to disappear people certainly detain them in secret detention without any public announcement as to why without any appearance in a court to justify that detention that is not unusual here in China Robyn thank you for now I'm sure we'll come back to this subject because France now you know will be interesting to find out just why he's been detained if that's the case Robin brand there in showing hime I said we'd talk about Brett Kavanaugh as well because now a new search in the bread governor will become the next U.S. Supreme Court justice tonight 2 key senators said that they think there is insufficient proof that he committed sexual assaults in the past the Republican Susan Collins of Maine who's a key swing vote in the confirmation process is said that she doesn't believe the accusations against Greg Kavanagh a strong enough to prevent his confirmation as a Supreme Court justice the facts presented do not me that purpose or Ford was not sexually assaulted that night or it's some other time but they do have lead me to conclude that the allegations failed RINGBACK to be a more likely than standard therefore I do not believe that these charges can fairly per bad judge cabinet from serving on the court. Well she said she plans to vote to confirm Judge governor just spite the turbulent bitter fight surrounding his nomination my fervent hope is that Brett Kavanaugh will work to lessen the divisions in the Supreme Court and so that public confidence in our judiciary and our highest court is 3 stories Mr President I will take him firm judge cabinet I watch House reports is Tara McCovey at this point it looks like Judge Cavanagh will become the next Supreme Court justice and certainly the White House officials I've been talking to about this are very happy at this stage but remember things can change life can interfere is Washington and sometimes even Washington can surprise you but what's happened in the past several hours is that several key senators whose views weren't known have now come out and said that they would support Judge Kavanaugh This includes a senator named Susan Collins she's a Republican from Maine and also Joe Manchin he's a Democrat from West Virginia they both said that they feel real compassion for people who have suffered sexual assault but still they believe that Judge cabin I will be an excellent Supreme Court justice so they'll support him. We to conclude from this that the F.B.I. Reports into the historic sexuality gay shouldn't against him vindicated the judge and there's been lots of criticism of the F.B.I. Investigation Democrats say that it was very limited in its scope and that there's lots of individuals who should have been interviewed who weren't but nevertheless there was an investigation and so that did satisfy some of the requirements of the senators had and the senators and they're the ones that matter they seem satisfied with the results that they saw what happens next at this point though will be the confirmation vote and I don't take place on Saturday and then after that there will be a swearing in ceremony and the president will have the Sarah swearing in ceremony and then judge Kavanaugh will be the next Supreme Court justice where we're confident that he has the numbers of senators supporting him the needs That's right the numbers are there at this point but so many times it's seemed as though something would happen and then it didn't so I can't say it like 100 precise percent it's going to happen but everything indicates that that's going to go for and what's the feeding in Washington generally around this because we know that there were demonstrations were the earlier on on Friday with people venting their spleen about the judge why what's the mood in Washington the months politicians in the cognisant . People have been so emotional about this that ever since this issue came up it's just been quite wrenching for people in Washington and also for people across the country it's pitted liberals against conservatives and men against women and even and it's pitted 2 private schools against each other these are 2 schools in Washington one is holding arms that's a girl school where Christine buys the Ford went and then Georgetown Prep is the boys' school where Mr Cavanagh had gone when he was a boy so even though schools are sort of at each other's throat and throats and at this point Republicans are saying that it was a mob rule that was going on in Washington and some Democrats are saying that if they went control of the U.S. House of Representatives that the open investigation against Judge Kavanaugh and they will try to find out more information about the claims of sexual misconduct and so on that were leveled against a judge kavanah that the moment he's on the home run. Towards that Supreme Court seat what difference will he make to that politically and otherwise it's hugely important moment in U.S. History this will mean that the decisions that the Supreme Court makes are more likely to make conservatives happy it also means that people have a lot more of a keen awareness of the ME TO movement and what it means for a woman to come forward and explain what's happened to them these accusations of sexual misconduct and sexual assault are now being talked about in a way they never were before and then also it's made people question the whole process of Supreme Court nominations it got so dirty and so political people are saying there's got to be a better way of choosing a Supreme Court justice. Indeed and there is a precedent isn't that in the terms of Judge Clarence Thomas of the need to heal at the gay sins against him has nothing been learned since then in terms of appointing a Supreme Court judge and also when when when he was appointed How did his appointment affect the balance of power in the Priem court we're likely to see a similar thing now it's very important in terms of the balance of power for the Supreme Court these the Supreme Court is going to be looking at also very emotional decisions at affect people's personal lives that affects everything in this country and they will definitely take a rightward trend at this point it's very dramatic these days if Judge Kavanagh as we expect does become the next Supreme Court judge how will that impact on previous decisions that the court has taken will he be able to influence that in retrospect would not one of the most define the vice of issues around judge Cavanagh's nomination was Roe v Wade that was the 1973 Supreme Court decision that gave women the right to have an abortion and lots of people wondered whether or not that law would be overturned but liberals seem to think it's unlikely that the law would ever be overturned regardless of what the views are of the Supreme Court justices it's become entrenched and U.S. Law but what could happen is that the rights of women at the state level could be made more it could be more difficult for them to obtain abortions or even contraceptives if they needed some and that could be a shift in the culture in the United States as a White House reporter Tara because of the that's fine I was making the morning's papers with the deputy sports news editor of The Daily Express Richard Lewis extraordinary Are we have a lot on the sox very morning but it's a big story this storm Josie I don't like him a inside and he can accept mine just you know if you are in a slump but it's not just solved. Sometimes things are not just a matter of just hands he says which is a bit of a take it is try as they call it for not. Planning more freedom in the transfer market and things but this all comes just ahead of a massive match I'll try to solve when actually I should like a
