Cavanaugh enter to deliver his side and his record with anger in his voice he denied fords allegations and said that recent accusations of other women were last minute smears to block his confirmation to the Supreme Court this is destroyed my family and my good name a good name built up through decades of very hard work and Public Service at the highest levels of the American Government this whole two week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit fuel to the parent pent up anger about President Trump and the Two Thousand And Sixteen election fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record revenge on behalf of the clintons and millions of dollars and money from outside left wing opposition groups. Going to be very hard to discredit dr glossy fords testimony purely from a political standpoint here and lets talk a little bit about judge you have a dog i mean he was in tears for a want of his testimony today and he spoke about his sex life from thirty six years ago take a listen as to sex this is not a topic i never imagined would come up at a judicial Confirmation Hearing but i want to give you a full picture of who i was. I never had Sexual Intercourse or anything close to it during high school or for many years after that in some crowds i was probably a little hourly shy about my experience. Tried to hide that the same time i was also inwardly proud of it but
to do this somewhat in the vein of joking about how maybe men are too much and all to sit on the Supreme Court. It is an interesting question that there was and f. B. I. Investigation into this and this is something that the democrats have been harping on a lot because dr for did ask for an f. B. I. Investigation a few other accusers have also asked for f. B. I. Investigations and it simply didnt happen yeah i mean it is a legitimate point and you know what does it mean for the Supreme Court moving forward i mean the Supreme Court it lives on its credibility for might it might prove to be if these allegations were proven true at some point it might might prove to be a backfire Political Institutions have been harmed over the last couple of months and that the Judicial Branch is just one of their branches that have have been hard but i think theres Something Else also at stake to meet we talked about me too and mr liddy but this has also been framed as a potential symbolic fight over the over the trump is to movement and the do you
the arc of the year later than held against me but i think well of course the republicans have an interest in putting putting this off and pushing it through as fast as possible so itll probably happen theyll try ok all right its. Always good to see you later on the story for us in washington to both of you thank you. Well how does a political leader known for his strong Arm Bullying Tactics begin to redefine himself and reset relations with his most important european ally well for the answer try watching turkish president wretched tie of air to one as he visits germany heir to want to arrive here in berlin today its an official state visit with a mission to repair a bruised and battered diplomatic ties and to mollify mrs merrill. Reject type once president ial plane touching down in berlin this is
a once first state visit to germany as turkish president but its not without controversy he faces heavy criticism and to learn about the rule of florence turkey and he hopes this visit will lead to closer cooperation between the two nations or one received a mixed reception in the german capital many supporters waited on the streets hoping to catch a glimpse of his motorcade but there was signs of protest outside the turkish embassy. The president s visit was hotly debated in parliament with criticism coming from all sides. The somewhat arbitrary imprisonment of german citizens has taken a heavy toll on bilateral relations german citizens remain behind bars on charges of a seemingly political nature you want to save your own life the government is rolling out the red carpet for anton even though he hasnt changed his ways since july twenty seventeen absolutely nothing has improved in turkey thats why i think holding a state visit now sends the wrong signal is that as of yet so much good. And one
company had one isnt here because he has suddenly rediscovered his love and affection for our country instead his economy is in tatters he needs money and investment from our businesses but those who suffer from inflation and Economic Disaster the ordinary people in turkey and the i phone mentioning that. No one will next travel to cologne with the shuttle to open a mosque on saturday. Well berlin an anchor they certainly have a long list of issues to deal with those issues be overcome d. W. Slimey young spoke today to the german lawmaker rhetoric hes a better he is a member of german chancellor Angela Merkels conservative c. D. U. Party turkey has cracked down on Human Rights Including Press Freedoms in that context is it right to roll out the red carpet for president out of one well its always right to discuss with heads of states and governments especially in the role
that turkey just is having and filling so its the question of how to include a country which is deteriorating and its Economic Situation which has really terrified humanitarian situation but its also handling three and a half million or few cheese and therefore we have to take him serious. President header one says that germany and turkey should treat each other as equals but is that possible when turkey is Holding German citizens as Political Prisoners its really a Wishful Thinking of the one because he is behaving like a dictator heres holding about Sixty Thousand people under arrest and holding under arrest and he is terrifying journalists hes imprisoning members of Parliament Members of parliament doesnt belong into a prison they belong to the parliament itself so it is really
a hard time but we have to mention this and its better to mention this even handed but we cannot accept that we are on the same level not at all finally added one accuses germany of giving a base to terrorists and supporting kurdish militants who threaten the stability of his country what do you say to that well did tipper and other organizations in germany work like spies and like a criminal agency for the turkish state and therefore we should reconsider our behavior towards the tip we should rule them out from there riot to provide us with in moms and with religious treatment inside germany for the muslim talkers brothers and sisters so we have to very clear that it is not the rebel for us that turkey is trying to execute wrong law and wrong order
against german and turkish citizens in such a moment thanks for your time thank you good luck. Well as president everyone began his Charm Offensive here in Berlin Turkish Soccer delegates were trying to win over europes football governing body you a for the prize the right to host the European Soccer Championships in Two Thousand And Twenty Four but turkeys rival for the right to host came up the winter im talking about germany you wait for reportedly determine that germany is a safe bet compared to risk laden turkey and for the first time you wave a factored in human rights and its decision that did not help turkeys chances at all so that you would all the host of the zero two twenty four. It will be germany German Football Association president reinhard pumped his fist the relief for him was culpable germanys move to host the european championships was griddles
project and he put his job on the line and graduations to germany now after a long drought of only disparaging news he found good news. On the other side of the room the Turkish Delegation Sat Stone faced having failed for the fourth time to lure the tournament to turkey. The germans already have visions of repeating their success of hosting the twenty zero six world cup. In the its a nice thing is that we can have another huge party in germany everyone can look forward to it we want to take everyone along for the ride and we can all celebrate a tremendous Football Festival together in europe thats something i think the sport can offer. Those who experience the tournament like i experienced it in my own country i know what it means back then our people the germans were emotional as never before the guns of whole world was a guest on it was a huge party and we look forward to doing it again were well prepared to because
weve done it before but this. Look of love the twenty zero six world cup german still call it the Summer Fairytale so did a selection of folks just after the announcement in the munich pedestrian zone. As you have a good idea. I just heard that germany has been chosen to host euro Two Thousand And Twenty Four thats great how will they remember the time fourteen years ago when we had a super summer here in germany we were all happy and then the world cup fever maybe well have the same again because i was told. To dish of course im happy if we have guests i would have liked it if it was in turkey for political reasons. Yeah you know we can celebrate here in germany again and i think itll be like the world cup in Two Thousand And Six and its got this. Very few names will six. Was a repeat of a nationwide month long festival thats what germans are hoping for as they look
ahead to twenty twenty four. Remember thursdays will always be here from our sport this is here to help us explain what happened today i mean germany are the hosts of europe twenty twenty four thats not a big surprise is it now it is and i mean they were favorites to begin with but then near the end it did look like this was going to be a very close vote and germany of course the safe choice i mean everything that you look for in a hole was germany had they have an even masters of organization you know theyve hosted previous like cup Sporting EventsTrack And Field events you know cakes everything that day is so and of course they all have the infrastructure and the transportation they have the stadiums i mean germany they basically ready to even host tomorrow if they had to and politically and also politically yes politics and politically theyre also not most stable the economy compared to turkey and the idea of human rights and human rights being respected that continues to be
a problem in turkey and weve been Hearing Reports of that could have been the reason why you wait for decided not to give it to turkey i mean this is obviously for you a for this was the first time that in their Decision Making process that human rights was going to play a role but still at the end i mean you a phase of business and as much as you would like to think its sometimes Wishful Thinking to think that it really was human rights i honestly think it was it had more to do with the fact that i think the risk was just too big for turkey host i mean the euro has dropped and i think. They its value has has dropped i think politically the situation there is so precarious and we dont know whats going to happen there six years from now and also i think they were just afraid that maybe the fuel of investments and also. Turkey in a campaign to help meet these promises of tax breaks of allowing. A five to basically rent free let them be used to stadiums and i think now that they see you
know economically how they doing they probably knew that a lot of that was not going to happen so they yeah and also one of i mean turkey is so close to syria and one of the host cities was going to be close to syria and we dont know whats going to geopolitically we dont know right and the assessment report on turkey i understand that was done by the way that it was not made public right so we really dont know whats what the big risk factors were were just guessing there but when you talk about money the euro it had to play a big role that i mean lets you know we can romanticize football all we want but at the end it does come down to money and even like the president if you a for has not shied away from that and if you look at it i mean they have even said that if you look at the overall capacity of all of the stadiums in germany at the end they would have had around Two Hundred Seventy to Three Hundred Thousand more seats and seats of course equals more tickets equals more money and those people
making the decision those people voting at the end all the Member States so they know that however profitable this event is going to be at the end you know the money more money and something their own pockets so highly resistant yeah thats right should be the money were seeing everybody gets a living talking from our Sports Desk Aleem as always they.
