Regrettably we found that china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight Team Election they do not want me or us to win because i am the first president ever to challenge china on trading and we are winning on trade and. We do not will not interfere in any countrys Domestic Affairs and we refuse to accept any unwarranted accusations against china. Also coming up tonight more women accuse the u. S. Supreme Court NomineeBrett Kavanaugh of Sexual Misconduct and convicted sex offender bill cosby spends his first night in jail a milestone week for the me too movement. This is it so. That i can make sure that theres. An outlet. Or we begin the date with an accusation absent of any hard proof today during a special session of the United NationsSecurity Council us President Donald Trump said that one of the countries represented at the table is guilty of trying to tamper with american democracy if you immediately thought of russia youre not alone and you are wrong today pointed the finger at china accusing beijing of trying to interfere in midterm elections in order to hurt the republican partys power in Congress Trump called the alleged meddling proof that his hard line on trade tariffs is working or just as he said nothing about russian meddling in the last election he presented no real evidence of chinese meddling to the Security Council i just spoke with our correspondent alexandra phenomena and she is in new york at the u. N. Well youre right it was a real bombshell here and people in the Security Council were looking at themselves asking themselves what it is all about we have to say that the president has talked about this topic before saying that it was not only russia to meddle in you as elections but also other nations such as china for example but to make such accusations in such a high profile setting and the Security Council meeting when the Chinese Foreign minister was sitting at the same table its highly on the usual surprise also because according to the National Security adviser as it is russia that is continuing its efforts to interfere in the u. S. Elections only a month ago they told us that they didnt have any evidence that china is trying to interfere but the president president he doubled down later on on twitter saying that china is placing its propaganda its in you as regional newspapers that look like news reports so i guess this was his way of trying to show some evidence or hes claims. There was or alexander phenomenon there at the United Nations in new york or accusations of election meddling were not on todays Security CouncilMeeting Agenda but the proliferation of Nuclear Weapons was u. S. President again trash Irans Nuclear deal which is also known as the c. P. O. Way and he warned those who continue to do business with iran that they will be in violation of u. S. Sanctions and could face retaliation yet one by one the leaders at the table told mr truong they are sticking with the jays c. P. O. Way. I ask all members of the Security Council to work with the United States to ensure the arabian regime changes its behavior and never acquires a nuclear bomb. Or sealed just enough in your plate humans to see russia is convinced that we need to keep the j c p r away from them and this is something we are actively working on with iran china and the e. U. It remains the best means of preventing iran developing a Nuclear Weapon and we are committed to preserving the j. C. B. Away as long as iran continues to abide by its obligations in full. Jaycees rio a has been endorsed unanimously by the Security Council sunday and what happened in the past three years shows the way is a viable agreement. Well im joined here at the big table now by ending reka he is with the German Council on Foreign Relations hes a leading analyst in Transatlantic Relations its good to have you on the show so weve got china russia the u. K. France they all want the Iran Nuclear Deal to be kept as it is is trumps attempt to isolate iran by killing the deal is that a futile attempt now it is not because the u. S. Can bring in its market power because it can can force companies to choose between investing in iran and making trade with iran or. Investing in america which is much more advantages so so most companies would actually switch to to the transatlantic trade but even those who who have no trade with america under heavy pressure because the the iranian banks cannot cannot handle the the payment so this is why the e. U. Is trying to set up an alternative Payment Scheme to make. Direct trade possible but the this is only a small share of the trade thats on so there will be damage on iran it will be half effective because not all of us a and much of the oil is going to china and elsewhere so its going to take long its going to be heavy on the iranians so we have the u. S. President today really doubling down on iran and lightening up if you want on north korea take a listen to what he said about kim jong un but most importantly i believe that chairman kim jong un a man i have gotten to know and like wants peace and prosperity for north korea many things are happening behind the scenes away from the media which nobody know what they are happening nevertheless and they are happening in a very positive way. So i think youll have some very good news coming from north korea in the coming months and years. All right youve got the u. S. President there convinced the north korea wants to denuclearize wants peace although theres no evidence to tell us that thats where its headed and then youve got the president doubling down on iran despite the fact that its met all of the terms of the nuclear deal so how do you square that circle so the u. S. Have many problems with iran or the europeans as well because its not only the Nuclear Missiles its terrorism its the support for she had groups in conflicts in the neighborhood but thats all true and thats gotten worse yeah and the europeans are happy that they get the nuclear off the table to focus on the rest and i would say you cant actually have a package now when when all the trust is gone theres going to be more difficult to work against the other things only by pressing iran so long that as the americans hope the iranians will step up and throw out the government and become great at democrats which is not the most plausible scenario you have in office in iran that it might go wrong and you might have a even worse dictatorship if it happened i mean we hear time and time again that theyre not calling or that theyre not trying to get regime change but the policies suggest the opposite of that we have heard the u. S. President bash china on trade hes now accusing beijing of trying to meddle in midterm elections coming up in november in the u. S. So are we looking at relations that are somewhat bad going from somewhat bad to worse i think that is possible thats on the cusp of getting getting this untangled completely but first of all what he does now is directed at his home audience the midterm elections are close and so. He wants to do to show as a man whos strong against china its also a tactic to put china into a corner to help with negotiations on terrorism. And on north korea but i think both countries. Have a tendency to to see the close integrated relationship critical of chinese one single sundays and the and the u. S. Wants to lower the the trade deficit so it might get worse actually before it gets bell though he did you know at this at the same meeting today he thanked china for helping in the goshi asians with north korea i mean its a like you today i hate you tomorrow but it sounds like you for that but the never forget that when i when i negotiate about tariffs and the rest but the chinese they are. Depending on technology from from the from the u. S. As of now but they are improving heavily in many areas and investing a lot in many areas in areas of new Technology Official intelligence quantum computing and so on and of course they build a larger trading bloc that will help them to become more independent from the trade with the United States. Or with the German Council on Foreign Relations report it you coming in and helping us make sense of what we saw and heard today thank you welcome. In politics no elected leader voluntarily gives himself or herself an Expiration Date he wants to be a lame duck and the logic is simple here if my rivals know when i plan to leave office theyll be busy planning for the time after i leave office with german chancellor Angela Merkel she appears to be the exception to this rule before the general election last september she signalled that in all likelihood this would be her last term as head of government and now the chancellor who has been called the most powerful female leader in the world shes losing that power as predicted as expected miracles authority appears to be waning. The german governments weekly meeting chancellor Angela Merkel getting to work but is it really business as usual its the day after the biggest defeat of her career her partys parliamentary bloc ousted their longtime leader and one of marcos closest confidence until now the new party whip was only known as a financial expert hes expected to both stop the conservative Parliamentary Group selfconfidence but this will put chancellor merkel in an even more uncomfortable position says one conservative m. P. I think that she has to counter with affection group that is more selfconfident and i think now we gain back a bit more independence and i think that is. Slightly challenging because the chancellor will need to fight for her own positions the new group leader promised to listen closely to the input from constituencies and try to downplay the significance of the vote for him into office looking forward to working with a long article as has just been explained theres no daylight between us it will be a close and trusting cooperation just as ive had with the in recent years. You know. If you had before the vote on the america had urged the conservative m. P. s to support her. But to no avail the majority wanted to change the german chancellor acknowledged the outcome is a defeat. Thats just i know this is democracy and that means sometimes you lose a vote there is nothing to gloss over but i want the Parliamentary Group of c. D. U. And c. S. U. To be successful and therefore i will support i think house wary of a possible. Catfish and all opposition parties declared kouddous defeat a clear sign that markets time is chance less coming to an End Coalition partner the social democrats are calling for a return to serious work. Mind i was selfish i urge seriousness and politics we have a Global Political situation that is rather chaotic and germany cannot afford to gamble on the contrary we are an anchor of stability also for europe in and i expect there seriousness from both the social democratic as well as the conservative Parliamentary Group isnt that what you want but this will take some time yesterdays vote has shaken conservatives more than expected. Are this bring in our Political Correspondent report beat or bald hes on the story for us tonight here in berlin good evening to you rupert the conservatives they are doing their best to downplay the negative impact of what happened this week what are they so afraid of well the main message of the bring cause of the surprise new leader of the conservative from peace and calm and the main message he tried to bring across today was there simply is no problem between me and america but thats actually not really the point quite obviously most of the conservative in peace at least half of them seem to have a major problem with uncle america and the way she fulfills a duty as a german comps this was pointed out yesterday by the surprise vote and even worse it is already the second time within two weeks that i didnt see it coming coming she didnt see coming that she didnt see the problems that were in within her conservative m. P. s and she was struck even and she was really struck hard and by surprise and not is also one of the things that her critics see point out as a weakness a weakness they will certainly try to take advantage of in the future in a report it seems that the political establishment in berlin is just waiting for the next crisis how can anyone govern in this kind of environment. Well the main problem here is that this could wish and in the past was a coalition of three parties which stood for the big majority in this country they they they they symbolize stability in the end then the most the the main thing people voted on got a market for but right now what we see is a c. D. U. Party which is losing confidence in the party leader angloamerican in the tonsil we see it sees you party which doesnt really know if its going to win the next elections in its home state in bavaria and then s. P. D. Party which is losing massive support or has been losing massive support during the last twenty years alone the s. P. D. Has been losing ten million. During the last twenty years and the conservative bloc of Angela Merkel. Is seeing the same happening to them right now and they all all three parties in the end react to this in the same way they panic and panic its not really good footing to build a stable government and briefly but we know that there is a crucial Regional Election in bavaria if the conservatives if they do poorly in that election will all go to medical survive. Well to lose an election is never really helpful for political but it isnt in crisis mode especially as uncle our medical is up for reelection himself as a party leader of a party the c. D. U. Just before Christmas Party convention in december and theyre already rumors running around him bill in saying that. Could if the elections in bavaria and hasnt turned out as bad as predicted that could resign from a post as party leader to focus on her post as german chancellor but this again would be seen as a sign of the deteriorating power of the ones most powerful woman in the world writes our correspondent privy to vote on the story for us tonight in berlin report thank you youre welcome. Well tonight Donald Trumps pick for the u. S. Supreme court Brett Kavanaugh is preparing to testify before a Senate Committee tomorrow now more women have come forward accusing kavanaugh of Sexual Misconduct tomorrow Christine Ford the initial accuser will also appear before that Senate Committee shes expected to describe how she was assaulted at a High School Party in the one nine hundred eighty s. As we said on the eve of those hearings new allegations are emerging another accuser says that she saw sexually abusive behavior by kavanagh says that she was gang raped at one party although she did not accused of taking part in all rejects the allegations as of last minute smears democrats are calling for the confirmation process to stop to allow a full f. B. I. Investigation. I strongly believe judge kavanaugh should draw from consideration and the president should withdraw this nomination if kavanagh wont do it voluntarily if he will not at the very least the hearing and vote should be postponed while the f. B. I. Investigates all of these very serious and very troubling allegations that was in the minority leader Chuck Schumer speaking there lets go over to washington now our correspondent miles waiter is on the story for us. These allegations are coming in fast and furious talk to me a little bit about the the new claims what is this third accuser or what is she alleging. This is an accusation that was released today in whats called a sworn a declaration which means its an official document that could be submitted as evidence if theoretically there were a trial which is not something thats on the table right now but its a legal document and this woman whose name is julie sweat nick is alleging that she was as you said several parties in the early one nine hundred eighty s. At which Brett Kavanaugh was allegedly also he was also attending these and she claims of that there was behavior that would be considered Sexual Misconduct today she was claims that he was trying to get women drunk that there was use of drugs to a new women and she makes that she was gang raped by a group of men at one of these parties and as you said that cavanaugh was there this is indeed something very heavy adding to the weight on the judge cavanaghs nomination like you said just a day before theyre supposed to be this testimony that may or may not decide whether or not this nomination goes forward. Mr governor or he has released a statement in response to all of these accusations run. He has been very adamant from the beginning that none of the accusations coming from
