JUDY WOODRUFF: Good evening.

I'm Judy Woodruff.

On the "NewsHour" tonight: On the eve of a dramatic hearing, Supreme Court nominee Brett

Kavanaugh and the woman who accuses him of sexual assault prepare to testify before senators

tomorrow.

Then: President Trump meets with leaders at the U.N. to discuss nuclear weapons and Iran.

Plus: one-on-one with the president of Turkey on his country's role in the world and its

tense relations with the U.S.

And the plastics problem -- innovative efforts to reuse existing plastic and to find alternatives

for the future.

ROLAND GEYER, University of California, Santa Barbara: The only plastic that does not need

to be disposed of is plastic that was never made.

So even recycled material, you can't cycle it forever.

JUDY WOODRUFF: All that and more on tonight's "PBS NewsHour."

(BREAK)

JUDY WOODRUFF: It is the eve of a crucial United States Senate hearing on allegations

of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

But now there is a new claim of misconduct.

Congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardins begins our coverage.

LISA DESJARDINS: The day moved fast, starting with President Trump at the United Nations

renewing his defense of his nominee and fellow Republicans.

DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: The Republicans could not be nicer in the

way they're handling this.

They could have pushed it through two-and-a-half weeks ago, and you wouldn't be talking about

it right now, which is, frankly, what I would have preferred.

LISA DESJARDINS: At that point, the conversation was about two accusations, Christine Blasey

Ford's charge that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in high school, and Deborah Ramirez's

account of him exposing himself in college.

Kavanaugh has adamantly denied both.

But before noon, attorney Michael Avenatti disclosed information about a third accuser.

Julie Swetnick submitted a sworn affidavit to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

She told of attending over 10 high school parties with Kavanaugh and his friend Mark

Judge and said she witnessed Kavanaugh -- quote -- "drink excessively at many of these parties

and engage in abusive and physically aggressive behavior toward girls that included fondling

and grabbing of girls without their consent."

She said Kavanaugh and Judge also tried to drug girls drinks, so that -- quote -- "They

could be gang-raped in a side room or bedroom by a train of numerous boys.

These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh."

Swetnick said she was raped at one party attended by Kavanaugh and Judge, but she doesn't specifically

allege either was involved in the attack.

In a statement, Kavanaugh responded by saying -- quote -- "This is ridiculous and from the

Twilight Zone.

I don't know who it is and this never happened."

Kavanaugh's lawyer also responded and said he will not withdraw his nomination.

BETH WILKINSON, Attorney for Brett Kavanaugh: He's outraged, as you might imagine, by this

most recent allegation.

He has never met this woman.

He doesn't know Ms. Swetnick.

He didn't go to parties with her.

And we have already have -- I have received calls myself from women and men who went to

high school with him.

No one knows this woman.

No one knows -- remembers seeing her at any of the parties that they attended.

LISA DESJARDINS: President Trump fired back too, targeting Swetnick's lawyer, Avenatti,

who also represents adult film star Stormy Daniels.

She claims to have had an affair with the president.

DONALD TRUMP: If you look at this lawyer that just came out, he's a lowlife.

He represented Democrats.

It's a horrible con game.

I think the people are finding it out.

LISA DESJARDINS: The new accusation brought new chaos on Capitol Hill and new Republican

allegations of a smear campaign.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley said the committee is looking into the latest allegations,

but he said tomorrow's hearing will proceed with only Kavanaugh and Blasey Ford as witnesses.

SEN.

CHARLES GRASSLEY (R), Iowa: We're doing everything to make her feel comfortable.

So she's been waiting for 10 days now to appear.

So why would we want to disadvantage her from doing what she offered to do a long time ago?

I feel like I have a definite responsibility to hold the hearing, not only for, her but

for Judge Kavanaugh.

LISA DESJARDINS: But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called for Republicans to halt

the proceedings.

SEN.

CHUCK SCHUMER (D-NY), Minority Leader: I strongly believe Judge Kavanaugh should withdraw from

consideration and the president should withdraw this nomination if Kavanaugh or won't do it

voluntarily.

If he will not, at the very least, the hearing and vote should be postponed while the FBI

®MDNM¯investigates all of these very serious and very troubling allegations.

LISA DESJARDINS: Some Senate Republicans, including Jeff Flake of Arizona, are voicing

doubts about proceeding.

SEN.

JEFF FLAKE (R), Arizona: However this vote goes, I'm confident in saying that it will

forever be steeped in doubt.

This doubt is the only thing of which I am confident about this process.

LISA DESJARDINS: But South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham raised sharp doubts about the

latest accuser.

SEN.

LINDSEY GRAHAM (R), South Carolina: This is getting into the Twilight Zone.

You're talking about Brett Kavanaugh being a serial rapist during high school as a sophomore

in high school.

I have a hard time believing you did it then and you have never done it before.

I do believe it's so important to invite Mr. Avenatti's client to come to the committee

and being interviewed by staff.

That should happen right now.

LISA DESJARDINS: Grassley has scheduled a committee vote on Kavanaugh's nomination for

Friday.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And Lisa joins me now here in our studio.

And I want to say, just within the last hour, a lot of fast-moving pieces here.

The president continues to hold sway at a news conference in New York so at those U.N.

meetings.

This news conferences is now into its second hour.

We can tell you that, not long ago, he was asked, of course, about these allegations

by these women against Judge Kavanaugh.

And he said at first that these are all false allegations, but then he went on to say that

he wants to hear from the women.

Here's part of what he said:

DONALD TRUMP: The Republican senators have delayed this for weeks now.

They're giving the women a major chance to speak.

Now, it's possible I will hear that and I will say, hey, I'm changing my mind.

That is possible.

We want to give them a chance to speak.

And they're given...

QUESTION: Do you think all three should have a chance?

All three should have a chance to...

(CROSSTALK)

DONALD TRUMP: Well, whoever is given a chance.

We have delayed it a long time, but they're going to have a big shot at speaking and making

their case.

And you know what?

I could be persuaded also.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So President Trump also acknowledged, Lisa, that he has a particular perspective

on all this, because he said, he acknowledged that he himself has been falsely accused of

sexual misconduct.

Here's how he commented on that:

DONALD TRUMP: I have had a lot of false charges made against me.

I'm a very famous person, unfortunately.

I have been a famous person for a long time, but I have had a lot of false charges made

against me, really false charges.

I know friends that have had false charges.

People want fame.

They want money.

They want whatever.

So when I see it, I view it differently than somebody sitting home watching television,

where they say, oh, Judge Kavanaugh, this or that.

It's happened to me many times.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Now, the president, Lisa, and other Republicans we have been hearing are

pretty dismissive of these newest set of allegations from the woman Julie Swetnick.

But these are serious allegations.

What do we know about them?

LISA DESJARDINS: These are incredibly serious allegations.

We covered some of them in our report at the beginning of the story.

But she is saying not just about the role of Mark Judge and Mr. Kavanaugh, what she

is accusing them of.

She is saying she witnessed parties where there were lines of men waiting outside bedroom

doors to molest a woman who she understood to be inside.

So, incredibly serious allegations.

Right now, the committee says it is looking to speak to her, which is a process they have

used before with the other accusers in this case.

There will be no FBI investigations, say Republicans, not at this point.

Democrats, of course, would like Ms. Swetnick to appear in a hearing, which she and her

attorney have said she is willing to do.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And what are -- I mentioned that some Republicans, the president being

very dismissive of what she's saying.

What are Republicans and Democrats saying about this?

LISA DESJARDINS: Right.

The president seemed to go back and forth.

He said he doesn't know a lot about these accusations yet, but he did at one point also

say he thought they were false.

So, there were kind of conflicting statements from him.

We have seen just in the last couple of hours a new letter from supporters of Mr. Kavanaugh,

high school friends of his, 60 of them, men and women, who say that they do not recall

anything like what we heard Ms. Swetnick describing.

Now, it's notable that all of the women who signed this letter are the same women who

signed a letter over a week ago supporting Mr. Kavanaugh, except for two, who are new

to this letter.

Republicans, Judy, are questioning the timing of this accusation, both because of the hearing.

And also they question how old Ms. Swetnick was at the time.

They're also going farther, though.

They're questioning a little bit of her character and saying, if these things happened to you,

if you witnessed these parties, why did you continue to go to these parties?

Democrats, on the other hand, say this is part of mounting evidence of a culture that

they believe that Brett Kavanaugh was a part of.

Now, what she has -- what Ms. Swetnick talked about also matches an account in The New Yorker

this weekend by a former ex-girlfriend of his friend Mark Judge.

This ex-girlfriend said that Judge confided in her that he did in fact get inebriated

and have sexual experiences with women who may not have been fully conscious at the time.

That's her claim.

But this is what Democrats are pointing to, as they see some mounting evidence.

It's obviously part of a very large debate.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And my understanding is that she's reconfirmed that statement today.

LISA DESJARDINS: That's right.

And she -- that ex-girlfriend says she's willing to testify as well.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So to get back to the original reason for this hearing, Christine Blasey

Ford, what do we know, Lisa, at this point about how this hearing is going to unfold?

LISA DESJARDINS: Right.

This is more what we know, the finite universe for tomorrow.

Let's talk about the hearing first.

We expect about two hours for each witness.

It will be about five minutes per senator.

But the Republican senators are expected to pull that time and yield it all to prosecutor

Rachel Mitchell.

She is a prosecutor from Maricopa County, over 20 years experience, much of it...

JUDY WOODRUFF: Arizona.

LISA DESJARDINS: In Maricopa County, Arizona, exactly, Phoenix.

And much of that has been in sex crimes.

Now, notable, Judy, this is going to be a much smaller hearing room than we have seen

before.

For example, the number of seats for the press are a quarter of what they were with the first

Kavanaugh hearing.

I suspect the seats for the public and therefore potential protesters also will be smaller.

But it's going to be a shorter and smaller hearing that Republicans have designed.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, Lisa, what do we know from -- there is some polling that has been done

about the public and how the American people are viewing, are undertaking in all this.

What do we see there?

LISA DESJARDINS: Well, I think it's no surprise, like on almost every controversial issue these

days, Americans are divided.

There is a plurality who generally oppose Judge Kavanaugh's nomination right now, 43

percent -- 38 percent say they're in favor of it in general.

But we found there were more interesting sort of highlights when you drill down.

The party divide here is vast.

Not a shock.

But when we asked if the charge by Christine Blasey Ford is true, should Judge Kavanaugh

be confirmed, and that's if it's true, Democrats, 12 percent said yes, he should be confirmed.

But over half a Republican said, if that charge is true, that he should be confirmed.

So, right now, there's two debates.

One, are these accusations true?

And then there's a debate we really haven't talked about much, which, if they are true,

what does the American public think should happen?

All of that right now is lost in a kind of chaotic political situation.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And, of course, the whole question of whether we will be able to get to truth

tomorrow, because many people are saying what we're going to come away with are impressions,

and not knowing, because we don't have final evidence -- we don't have evidence that dates

back to 1982.

LISA DESJARDINS: That's right.

And there's a real challenge for Democratic senators.

There are 10 on this committee.

If you're a Democratic senator, and you have five minutes to question Judge Kavanaugh,

a lot of these senators -- I'm not joking -- it takes them three minutes to get out

a question.

So their questions must be short.

And then Judge Kavanaugh also could have longer answers.

It's going to be very difficult to have questions and follow-up in this setting.

JUDY WOODRUFF: While the Republicans will be presumably more focused, because the prosecutor

-- this practiced prosecutor in Rachel Mitchell is going to be asking all of their questions.

LISA DESJARDINS: Right.

That's right.

She pools all of her time.

She can have a direct line of questioning throughout her entire timing vs. each senator

may have different lines of questions that they want to ask.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, we are going to be covering every moment of it.

And you're going to be there for us.

LISA DESJARDINS: I'm getting there early.

JUDY WOODRUFF: You're going to be there early.

Lisa Desjardins, thank you.

LISA DESJARDINS: You're welcome.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And you are going to want to know what to expect from the Senate Judiciary

Committee tomorrow in the questioning of Judge Kavanaugh and Professor Blasey Ford.

For that now, I'm joined by Julie Goldscheid.

She is a professor of law at the City University of New York, where she teaches classes on

gender and law.

She is one of several law professors who wrote a letter today urging the Judiciary Committee

to further investigate the claims made by Blasey Ford and these other women.

Professor Goldscheid, let me just start by asking, the letter to the committee, what

was the point you were making in that letter, which is critical of how the committee is

structured tomorrow?

JULIE GOLDSCHEID, Professor of Law, CUNY School of Law: Yes, thank you.

The point of the letter is really to ask the senators to do what we would expect any fact-finder

to do, which is to pause, to get a full investigation, and to assess all of the evidence in the context

that's before the committee.

This is not a criminal case.

It's not a civil case.

It's not about evidence that's going to be assessed based on a preponderance of the evidence

or beyond a reasonable doubt standard.

This is a question about whether or not somebody should be nominated and appointed to the Supreme

Court, the highest court in the country.

And for that, there are many complex questions that I would think the senators should be

interested in.

They should be interested in assessing the very serious allegations that have been made

and hearing the nominees reflections on those allegations.

Not only do they raise very serious concerns, but they also raise complex questions that

are of the type of issue -- that reflect the type of issues that the court deals with all

the time.

And the senators should be interested in how the nominee reflects on that kind of complicated

allegation and complicated dynamic.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And I know that you and the others who were signing this letter were calling

for an investigation to take place, just as Dr. Blasey Ford and her attorney were calling

for.

But we know that there will be, there has been no, and won't be an FBI investigation.

They have been talking to her.

What will be missing then?

I mean, what is it -- what is it -- what will be the role of Rachel Mitchell, who will be

asking question for the Republicans, and then of the Democratic senators in getting to the

bottom of this, as best they can, when there has not been an FBI investigation?

JULIE GOLDSCHEID: Right.

Well, your point is a very good one.

Without a full investigation for background, and without all the witnesses who can speak

to the allegations, there's really an incomplete picture that will be painted at the hearings,

by definition, unless the senators decide to open up the hearings to more witnesses

who can talk about their -- the accounts that they heard about the allegations before the

-- before these hearings.

So, the task for the -- for the hearings tomorrow is to paint as clear and as complete and as

neutral a picture as possible about what Dr. Ford experienced and what the nominee, Judge

Kavanaugh, experienced, and to hear his reflections on these very delicate details and difficult

allegations.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, we have been -- her opening statement, Christine Blasey Ford's opening

statement, has been released, we know.

We have been able to take a look at that.

She's pretty much giving the same description of what happened that night at that party

in 1982 in that summer that we have been told, with a little more detail.

Given that, and given that Judge Kavanaugh is saying he wasn't at the party, doesn't

know her, how does any -- how does a questioner get to some evidence, some information that's

going to advance our understanding of what really happened?

JULIE GOLDSCHEID: Yes.

Well, one thing that the questioner can do is can ask about both witnesses' understandings

of some of the other information that has come to come to light.

So, for example, if Judge Kavanaugh says he has no recollection, he can be probed about

some of the other accounts that have come forward about the details of some of the parties

and the atmosphere and the culture that at least many people think took place at that

school at the time that he was there.

So, she can get his reactions to those -- those accounts of what was going on at the time.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Are questions about how much drinking did he do, how much partying, I mean,

are those kinds of general questions going to bring us closer to understanding whether

this happened or not?

JULIE GOLDSCHEID: I think part of the task is to come to as clear an assessment of what

happened as possible.

And we know that, in many cases like this, there are competing versions, competing accounts

of what happened.

So, the task for the senators is really to listen very carefully and closely to the answers

to try to hear how much consistency or inconsistency there is in the respective witnesses' reports

and to make their own assessments, both about what happened, but about how the nominee's

responses bear on his ability to serve as a Supreme Court justice, because I really

can't underscore enough that that's what's at issue here.

This is more akin to a job interview than any kind of criminal or civil proceeding.

It's really about his qualifications for this very, very important position.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Professor Goldscheid, finally, just one question.

If you were asking questions of Judge Kavanaugh tomorrow, what's the most important thing

you would want to know from him?

JULIE GOLDSCHEID: Yes, good question.

I might want to know his view, if the allegations were true, what he -- what his views would

be about them and what he would think about them.

I really want to hear his thoughts about the seriousness of sexual assault.

We know that sexual assault is pervasive.

It continues to be pervasive, despite all of the gains and progress that's been made,

and I want to hear what his assessment is of those accounts.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Julie Goldscheid, she's a professor at the City University of New York.

We thank you.

JULIE GOLDSCHEID: Thank you.

CUNY School of Law.

Thank you.

JUDY WOODRUFF: I'm sorry.

Thank you very much.

And a reminder: We will have full live coverage of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing

with Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford tomorrow.

That is starting at 10:00 a.m.

Eastern.

You can check your local PBS station listings for more information, or you can watch us

livestreaming.

That's online at PBS.org/NewsHour.

Back now to President Trump's day at the United Nations, where the focus was heavily on Iran.

Our foreign affairs correspondent, Nick Schifrin, reports.

NICK SCHIFRIN: One day after declaring disdain for global governance, President Trump walked

into the U.N. Security Council, and the world's top diplomats hushed their voices.

But in a room defined by decorum, a president who doesn't always stick to the script showed

respect to tradition and stuck to the script.

DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: The Security Council is called to order.

NICK SCHIFRIN: This was Mr. Trump's first Security Council briefing, and he immediately

targeted Iran.

DONALD TRUMP: The United States will pursue additional sanctions, tougher than ever before,

to counter the entire range of Iran's malign conduct.

Any individual or entity who fails to comply with these sanctions will face severe consequences.

NICK SCHIFRIN: The U.S. is trying to pressure Iran to curve its ballistic missile program

and regional proxies, such as Hezbollah, that attack Iran's enemies.

To do so, the U.S. is pressuring Europeans for help.

But the European Union's top diplomat this week announced new ways for Iran to avoid

U.S. sanctions, and European leaders are criticizing the president's decision to withdraw from

the Iran nuclear deal they negotiated together, known as the JCPOA, then reimpose sanctions.

French President Emmanuel Macron:

EMMANUEL MACRON, French President (through translator): A serious crisis of confidence

was opened by a reimposition of sanctions by the United States.

But Tehran continues to abide by its nuclear obligations.

We need to build together a long-term strategy in order to manage this crisis, and it cannot

boil down to just sanctions and containment.

NICK SCHIFRIN: And British Prime Minister Theresa May:

THERESA MAY, British Prime Minister: For many years, the scale and nature of Iran's nuclear

program raised serious international concerns.

The JCPOA was an important step forward in addressing these.

It remains the best means of preventing Iran developing a nuclear weapon.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Iran promises to abide by the deal's nuclear limits.

And, today, President Hassan Rouhani said the U.S. isolated itself from its allies.

HASSAN ROUHANI, Iranian President (through translator): We are not isolated, as a matter

of fact.

America is isolated.

At the General Assembly, America was isolated.

At the Security Council, America was isolated.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, Israeli Prime Minister: Mr. President, Donald, thank you.

NICK SCHIFRIN: On Iran, the U.S. is aligned with Israel, and the president met with Prime

Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

But he suggested moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem will require Israeli accommodations

and peace talks.

And for the first time, he declared support for creating a Palestinian state next to Israel.

DONALD TRUMP: I like two-state solution.

That's what I think works best.

I don't even have to speak to anybody.

That's my feeling.

Now, you may have a different feeling.

I don't think so.

But I think two-state solution works best.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Mr. Trump said his diplomatic approach to North Korea is also working.

In a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, he pulled out a letter from Kim

Jong-un and said it was a sign that Kim, who has overseen a nuclear program and vast human

rights abuses, is changing his stripes.

DONALD TRUMP: North Korea, under the leadership of ®MDNM¯Chairman Kim, has tremendous economic

potential, tremendous.

And I think that Chairman Kim sees that maybe better than anybody.

NICK SCHIFRIN: And, today, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced he would go to Pyongyang

next month, with the intention of setting up a second summit between President Trump

and Kim Jong-un.

And the president was asked why he would hold a second summit.

He said, well, Kim asked for it.

And he said that letter that he got, Judy, is a sign that the two sides are making progress.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, Nick, one other thing that president made news on today is, he said that

China, China is meddling in the U.S. 2018 elections.

Tell us more about what he said.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Yes, he hasn't said this before, certainly not on this scale and at this platform

at the U.N.

And he said this in the Security Council and at a press conference just a few minutes ago.

He said that China was meddling in elections because, in his words, he was being tough

on China economically.

Now, he gave no details on that, both at -- in the Security Council and at the press conference.

And we asked a senior administration official about that.

And he gave a few details on the bone.

And we should say, these are not the kind of interference in the election that we saw

in 2016 at all, one example, China courting politicians and farmers in states that voted

for Trump.

Now, I should say, Judy, China has invested in swing states and swing districts long before

Trump became the president, in order to have some political influence.

Second example, rewarding journalists and think tanks who are nice to China.

Again, they have done that before Trump became president.

Intimidating people who are critical of China.

Again, they have done that before Trump became president.

And ,lastly, using state media for propaganda against President Trump.

Again, they did that before Trump became president.

And what President Trump did not mention today, Judy, is Russia, which, according to the intelligence

community in 2016, launched the hacking campaign into President Trump's opponent, distributed

that information, and launched a disinformation campaign as well.

And the intelligence community says that is ongoing in 2018.

President Trump did not mention that at all today.

JUDY WOODRUFF: No mention of it.

A lot to keep track of.

Nick Schifrin, covering the United Nations General Assembly for us this week, thank you,

Nick.

In the day's other news: President Trump said he does not want to fire Rod Rosenstein, the

deputy attorney general, who oversees the Russia investigation.

At his news conference this evening, the president noted that Rosenstein has denied that he talked

of recording the president or trying to remove him from office.

DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: I would much prefer keeping Rod Rosenstein,

much prefer.

Many people say I have the right to absolutely fire him.

He said he did not say it.

He said he does not believe that.

JUDY WOODRUFF: The two men had been scheduled to meet tomorrow.

But the president said he may postpone that, so that he can focus on the Senate hearing

with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The Federal Reserve has raised a key short-term interest rate for the third time this year

to 2.25 percent.

It serves as a benchmark for many consumer and business loans.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the U.S. economy is strong, but he did warn against a drawn-out

trade war with China and other nations.

JEROME POWELL, Federal Reserve Chairman: I think, if this, perhaps inadvertently, goes

to a place where we have widespread tariffs that remain in place for a long time, a more

protectionist world, that's going to be bad for the United States economy.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Fed policy-makers also signaled that one more rate hike is likely this year

and three next year.

President Trump now says that he will sign a sweeping spending bill to prevent a government

shutdown come Monday.

The Senate already approved the bill totaling $854 billion.

And the House followed suit today.

It funds the military and many domestic agencies for the fiscal year that begins October 1.

It doesn't fund the president's border wall.

There are small signs of hope tonight for towns in South Carolina facing floodwaters

from Hurricane Florence.

Officials today lowered their flood predictions for Conway and Georgetown, where several rivers

converge, but acknowledge things could change again.

GOV.

HENRY MCMASTER (R), South Carolina: All three river systems were flooded, not only from

water from South Carolina, but that that came in the second wave from North Carolina.

So this is unprecedented, and we are still in full battle mode in Georgetown County,

in Horry County.

JUDY WOODRUFF: The hurricane is blamed for 47 deaths in the Carolinas and Virginia.

Pope Francis urged China's Roman Catholics today to trust him after reaching an agreement

with Beijing on naming Chinese bishops.

He acknowledged that some Chinese Catholics feel abandoned by any deal with China's communist

government.

But he said the goal is to unify the Chinese church after decades of division.

POPE FRANCIS, Leader of Catholic Church (through translator): I decided to address the Chinese

Catholics and all the universal church with a message of fraternal encouragement.

With that, I'm hoping that China can open a new phase, one that helps to heal the wounds

of the past and reestablish and maintain the full communion of all Chinese Catholics to

take up with new conviction the message of the Gospel.

JUDY WOODRUFF: China's underground Catholics have long been persecuted for refusing to

join a state-run Catholic association.

And on Wall Street, stocks sagged late in the day, after the Federal Reserve raised

rates.

The Dow Jones industrial average loss nearly 107 points to close at 26385.

The Nasdaq fell 17, and the S&P 500 slipped nine.

Still to come on the "NewsHour: a conversation with Turkey's president at the United Nations;

inside the innovative efforts to combat the world's plastics problem; and a Brief But

Spectacular take on writing about other people's lives.

Ties between the U.S. and Turkey, longtime NATO allies, are deeply strained.

The U.S. hopes to get an American pastor out of jail in Turkey.

The Turks accuse the U.S. of harboring Fethullah Gulen, an exiled cleric who Turkey blames

for a fail coup.

In addition, there are Syria, Russia and internal issues.

Amna Nawaz spoke with Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan earlier today.

But, first, she has some background.

AMNA NAWAZ: The decades-old alliance is now under increasing tension.

One flash point, the fate of American evangelical pastor Andrew Brunson, held for nearly two

years in Turkey.

He was swept up in the crackdown after the July 2016 coup attempt against Erdogan.

Vice President Pence had this ultimatum for Erdogan in late July:

MIKE PENCE, Vice President of the United States: I have a message on behalf of the president

of the United States of America.

Release Pastor Andrew Brunson now, or be prepared to face the consequences.

AMNA NAWAZ: President Trump levied sanctions on Turkey, and Ankara responded in kind.

The dispute accelerated the decline of the Turkish lira.

It's lost 40 percent of its value this year.

Yesterday, Erdogan clearly had Mr. Trump's economic policy front of mind.

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN, Turkish President (through translator): None of us can remain silent

to the arbitrary cancellation of commercial agreements, the spreading prevalence of protectionism,

and the use of economic sanctions as weapons, because the negative effects of these twisted

developments will eventually affect all of us.

AMNA NAWAZ: Erdogan became prime minister in 2003.

Then, in 2014 and again this year, he was elected president, a position he's converted

into Turkey's preeminent power center.

One major challenge to his government, the grinding war in Syria that has forced more

than three million refugees across Turkey's southern border.

Tens of thousands more were sure to follow if Syria's Assad regime, backed by Russia,

made an all-out assault on Idlib province in Northwest Syria.

It's the last major stronghold of Islamist and rebel fighters.

But Erdogan struck a deal last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin to forestall that

attack.

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN (through translator): We believe that Turkey cleared the way for

peace and political solution in Syria, especially in the Idlib province.

Our goal is to clear the Syrian territory all the way from Manbij to the Iraqi border

from terrorist presence.

AMNA NAWAZ: That broad reference to terrorist presence also refers to America's Kurdish

allies in Syria, one more flash point between allies.

Ankara considers the so-called YPG and its political wing, the PYD, to be terrorists

allied to Turkish separatist Kurds.

U.S. forces are training, equipping and fighting alongside the Syrian Kurds to defeat ISIS.

I sat down with President Erdogan earlier this afternoon.

Mr. President, thank you so much for making the time to speak with us.

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN: Thank you.

AMNA NAWAZ: I want to begin by asking you about Syria.

Last week, you signed an agreement with Russia, specifically with regards to Idlib, the last

rebel stronghold in Syria.

And, as part of that agreement, you pledged that all radical terrorist groups would be

removed from Idlib by October 15.

I wanted to ask you how you begin to figure out who is a radical terrorist.

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN (through translator): As to who those groups are, we had already

identified those groups, together with Russia, anyways.

We already know who they are.

With our intelligence organization in Turkey, we are now working towards that.

As we speak, things are progressing well.

It is about removing heavy weapons from that region.

As we do that, the people of Idlib, living in Idlib, will again have peace.

AMNA NAWAZ: There was a time you advocated for regime change in Syria.

And it's fair to say that you have had a bit of a policy shift when it comes to Syria.

Last week, you signed this agreement with Russia.

Yesterday, in your speech at the United Nations, you hailed the alliance with Russia and working

towards efforts in Syria.

Russia is the chief backer of Bashar al-Assad.

So, is it fair to assume that you believe Bashar al-Assad has won the war in Syria?

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN (through translator): If we were to create such a suspicion against

Russia, that would be a wrong thing to do.

The Assad regime has never been an interlocutor for us, because, as Turkey, we don't recognize

Assad.

As Turkey, our interlocutor is the people of Syria.

And they are our brothers and sisters.

We have to come up to a result as soon as possible.

We are now working on two things.

First is preparation of the constitution.

And second is a political process and opening up the political process to the people of

Syria, because the people of Syria expect the political process to become functional

as soon as possible.

And for that process to be functional, a constitution is needed.

AMNA NAWAZ: I would like to ask you about the relationship between America and Turkey.

This morning, you published a very strongly worded op-ed calling for a larger reform to

take place at the United Nations.

But in that piece, you named only the U.S.

You said that this administration has undermined the world order.

Do you still consider the U.S. to be an ally for Turkey?

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN (through translator): We are strategic partners with the U.S. within

NATO.

For any country that is our strategic partner, it wouldn't be suitable to talk about possible

sanctions against one strategic partner.

And, so far, Turkey has always fulfilled its duties of being the strategic partner.

And we will continue to do so.

We're together with them under NATO.

We act with them under NATO.

And Turkey has always been the country that has defended the outpost of NATO.

And, interestingly, imagine you intervening in Raqqa, and, while doing that, imagine you

don't work with your strategic partner, but with a terrorist organization instead.

Who are those terrorist organizations?

The PYD and YPG, who happen to be the extensions of the PKK terrorist organizations.

This is what we told the U.S.

We said, you're not doing the right thing.

Now, seeing our strategic partner working hand in hand with those terrorist organizations

is something we could not accept, we had a hard time accepting.

And now, as far as the U.S. is concerned, do you know how much weapons the U.S. sent

to the north of Syria?

More than 18,000 big truckloads of ammunition and weapons were sent.

Who will those weapons be used against?

Because those are places which are closest to our border.

And there was this terrorists corridor there, and we took it apart.

Now, think of our strategic partner engaging in such acts.

That is sad for us to see.

It's wrong.

AMNA NAWAZ: I would like to move on to another issue that's come up between the U.S. and

Turkey.

And that is the issue of Pastor Brunson, Andrew Brunson, who's been detained in Turkey since

2016 now.

The U.S. has asked that he be released.

He's been charged with terrorism and espionage.

But, recently, Pastor Brunson was moved to house arrest.

There was a new prosecutor appointed in the case as well.

And he has a hearing coming up in October.

The U.S. has signaled they would like him released by then.

Would you intervene to release Pastor Brunson, an American citizen, back to the U.S.?

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN (through translator): Now, in international law, using political

pressure to free those people who are convicted or detained, would that be possible under

international law?

As a journalist, have you ever seen this?

You could have that only in totalitarian or authoritarian regimes.

You wouldn't have it in a country like Turkey, where there is the rule of law.

Now, as we speak, there Fethullah Gulen in the U.S.

And he has been in this country since 1999.

And he was head of an organization which attempted a coup in our country; 251 of our citizens

became martyrs, and 2,193 of our people were injured.

And he lives in Pennsylvania on 400 acres.

Now, we asked for him.

We asked for extradition.

And we signed all the necessary documents and paperwork.

They could have deported him with an administrative decision.

But, unfortunately, the U.S. didn't extradite him.

AMNA NAWAZ: Are you saying that, if the U.S. agrees to extradite Gulen back to Turkey,

that you would then release the Americans who are in custody in Turkey right now?

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN (through translator): Now, I told you I'm not talking about any

reciprocity.

I'm talking about law, rather.

Fethullah Gulen is not part of a judicial process right now.

It's just that he's living like a sultan on 400 acres.

Brunson, though, is an entirely different situation.

He is being tried in court as we speak.

And we sent all necessary documents about Fethullah Gulen to the necessary authorities.

AMNA NAWAZ: Amnesty International estimates Pastor Brunson is one of 15 to 20 American

citizens currently in Turkish custody.

Is that correct?

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN (through translator): The number cannot be that high.

AMNA NAWAZ: Do you know how many American citizens are currently in Turkish custody?

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN (through translator): Currently, as far as I know, six or seven

Americans either are in custody or are detained.

AMNA NAWAZ: You yourself have come under heavy criticism from some human rights groups, particularly

after, as you mentioned, that failed coup attempt in 2016.

I have to put these numbers to you because they're striking.

It's estimated 100,000 people were dismissed from public sector jobs, more than 50,000

arrested and imprisoned.

Your critics have called it a purge of your political opposition.

Are you purging your political opposition?

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN (through translator): Now, one cannot accept such information, of

course, because you talk based on the information you get from different press and media.

Currently, there are people behind bars.

It's true.

Numerically, yes, there are high numbers of people behind bars.

There are 32,000 detained people who have been arrested.

It's not hundreds of thousands.

Those trials must and I hope will be completed by the end of this year.

AMNA NAWAZ: Setting aside your political opposition, specifically, when it comes to journalists

in Turkey, Turkey has been called the biggest jailer of journalists.

Back in December, you held 73 journalists in your...

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN (through translator): How many?

Can you give me the figure?

AMNA NAWAZ: In December, the figure was 73 journalists who were held in prisons, which

was more than any other country.

That was according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN (through translator): All of these things you have said are wrong.

And the sources are not right.

Those are lies.

The number of people who are behind bars and who are journalists, real journalists, may

be 20 or 30.

Some of these people have committed terrorism crimes, but they have badges of journalists.

We're not talking about actual and genuine journalists here.

AMNA NAWAZ: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, thank you very much for your time and speaking

with us.

RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN: Thank you.

Thank you.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Now to our series on the plastics problem around the world.

As we said last night, one of the biggest problems is actually how to recycle the material

in the U.S.

In this country, the rate of recycling plastics is just 9 percent.

That compares to 30 percent in Europe.

Amna is back with a report that took her to three states, exploring innovative ideas aimed

at reducing plastic waste.

It's part of our Breakthroughs reporting on invention and innovation for our series the

Leading Edge of science.

AMNA NAWAZ: For over 40 years, this is one of the ways we have tried to tackle our growing

plastic problem, sorting, weeding out, and sorting some more, like in this Seattle facility.

Every day, an estimated 750 tons of material go through this process.

And every step along the way, just like this one, is designed to remove one more material.

For an ultra-durable material like plastic, the goal of this system was to get us to use

less by reusing what we'd already made.

Today, new innovative ways of recirculating our plastic are being road-tested, literally

in this case.

This is the very first plastic road in the U.S., on the University of California-San

Diego's campus.

Toby McCartney is behind MacRebur a British start-up that mixes recycled plastic pellets

into asphalt to make longer-lasting and cheaper roads.

TOBY MCCARTNEY, Managing Director, MacRebur: The downside to waste plastics is, it lasts

for so long.

A bottle will last for maybe 500 years.

What we're using is the ability of those plastics, because they last so long, but in our roads.

We want our roads to last so long before they need any maintenance.

AMNA NAWAZ: But are reusing and recycling really making a difference?

ROLAND GEYER, University of California, Santa Barbara: I would say that the way we recycle

plastic at the moment is not part of the solution.

I would even go as far as saying it's part of the problem.

AMNA NAWAZ: Roland Geyer is an industrial ecologist at the University of California,

Santa Barbara.

He says that in the 70 years plastic has been around, we have created nine billion tons

of it, most of which still exists.

ROLAND GEYER: The only plastic that does not need to be disposed of is plastic that was

never made.

So even recycled material, you can't cycle it forever.

BECCA FONG, Seattle Public Utilities: Not all plastics are created equal.

AMNA NAWAZ: Becca Fong of Seattle Public Utilities walked us through the city's impressive and

growing recycling effort.

Still, she says, the process isn't perfect.

BECCA FONG: It's geared to capture certain types of plastics of certain sizes.

And if it doesn't fit into those categories, it's not really recoverable.

AMNA NAWAZ: So, speaking of certain sizes, something like this, a tiny little plastic

straw, where does something like that straw fit?

BECCA FONG: The fact that it made it here is pretty impressive.

But the vast majority of small items are going to fall through the machinery and not be able

to be recovered to be recycled.

AMNA NAWAZ: So, Seattle started small and in July became the first major city in the

U.S. to ban all plastic straws.

It is that piece of material that is so small and so nuanced and actually kind of an extra

for a lot of people, that it actually makes people stop and think, do I really need to

have this straw?

And that's probably the bigger impact.

MAMI HARA, Director, Seattle Public Utilities: A straw that I use today in Seattle can end

up in the Pacific Ocean and last there for thousands of years, or it can return back

to your plate in 10 years as microplastics embedded in some fish.

AMNA NAWAZ: Mami Hara heads up Seattle Public Utilities.

Before her team could implement and enforce the straw ban, which also includes plastic

utensils, they had to get local businesses on board.

MAMI HARA: For a lot of businesses, it hasn't been a hard sell.

For those who are concerned about the price point, we try to work with them to find viable

alternatives that don't impact their purse too much.

BOB DONEGAN, President, Ivar's: We will buy about a million straws this year, and the

cost of straws has tripled.

AMNA NAWAZ: Bob Donegan is the president of Ivar's, an 80-year-old Seattle seafood institution.

BOB DONEGAN: We don't routinely put a straw in a drink.

We ask everybody, would you like a straw?

And they can always have one.

And these are the new compostable straws.

They are made from plants.

AMNA NAWAZ: But the compostable straws don't work for him in other ways.

BOB DONEGAN: So I challenge you to suck a milkshake through that straw and see if you

can make it.

AMNA NAWAZ: That's not easy.

BOB DONEGAN: It's pretty hard.

AMNA NAWAZ: So he spent more money and ordered bigger straws.

Since the ban, costs have gone up.

But Donegan says he budgeted around them by buying goods early and in bulk.

So there's no use, he says, in complaining.

BOB DONEGAN: Put on your big boy pants and get used to it.

Everything the government does isn't fair.

But our customers expect it of us, and we want to do what our customers want.

WES BENSON, Taco Time Northwest: Not only are we saying that the environment is important

to us.

This is a way for us to put our money where our mouth is.

AMNA NAWAZ: Wes Benson at Taco Time, another area food chain, says they took Seattle's

straw and utensil ban one step further.

Today, every single item they give customers, from utensils and cups to plates and bowls,

is fully compostable, meaning they're made of natural materials and can be turned into

compost after being tossed.

WES BENSON: One of the nice things about being 100 percent compostable is, you can make it

a part of your story.

And we're a local company.

The environment is important to us.

And we're willing to pay five times as much for our packaging.

AMNA NAWAZ: Seattle's efforts to cut back on plastic extends beyond restaurants.

Behind the scenes at Safeco Field, we get a look at the stacks of compostable items

they now require food vendors to use.

Last year, the park managed to recycle or compost 96 percent of all waste.

Trevor Gooby runs operations at the ballpark.

TREVOR GOOBY, Safeco Field: It definitely is more work to sort through the trash that

we have after the game and to do these type of things.

But, again, we feel it's really important for our business.

And it's important because our fans are asking us to do it.

AMNA NAWAZ: All those compostable items end up in piles like these, at facilities like

this, run by Jason Lenz and his family outside of Seattle.

For what you guys do, how much of a problem do plastics present?

JASON LENZ, Lenz Enterprises: I would say it's a you know it's not insurmountable.

At the same time, it's -- it's definitely a problem.

AMNA NAWAZ: Even hear, bits of plastic need to be sorted out.

Lenz has been in this business since 2008, after expanding his sand and gravel company.

So, without the city asking this of you or showing that there was a demand for this,

you guys likely wouldn't be doing this?

JASON LENZ: That's correct.

Seattle is a big pusher of organics diversion for compost, yes, so that's why we're in this

business.

AMNA NAWAZ: Lenz's company now turns out hundreds of thousands of tons of compost a year and

sells it to everyone from soil companies, to local governments, to home gardeners.

What is in here?

MORGAN VAGUE, Reed College Graduate: So these are bags of dirt that I collected from various

sites around the Houston area.

AMNA NAWAZ: Reed College student Morgan Vague had a hunch: If plastic really is everywhere,

maybe, in heavily polluted areas, bacteria have evolved to eat it.

And maybe those bacteria could take a bite out of our plastic problem.

So she collected samples from some of the dirtiest places around her hometown of Houston,

Texas, like sites of past oil spills and sites deemed contaminated by the EPA, and brought

them back to the lab.

So, you identify the bacteria you want to take a closer look at.

And then you put them in these test tubes.

MORGAN VAGUE: Yes.

AMNA NAWAZ: And the only food you give them, basically, is these plastics.

MORGAN VAGUE: Yes, exactly.

And we're fortunate to find some that did a pretty good job.

AMNA NAWAZ: But Vague found that the bacteria works much too slowly to be useful just yet.

MORGAN VAGUE: What a lot of our research is focused on is sort of like, how can we speed

up this process a bit?

How can we kind of scale this up and get it to an applicable kind of stage?

Because, you know, right now, it's just bugs in a tube.

AMNA NAWAZ: Vague says yes, it's just one study in very early stages, but she's excited

for where it could lead.

MORGAN VAGUE: All little girls want to change the world when they grow up, right?

I think we need more of these kind of grassroots efforts and kind of thinking outside the box,

or outside the plastic bottle, and kind of saying what sort of solutions we can find.

AMNA NAWAZ: Without meaningful solutions, experts warn, our trajectory means more and

more plastic on our land and in our water.

According to one study, if current production trends continue, by the year 2050, there will

be more plastic than fish in our oceans.

Geyer says one way to fix it, get rid of all single-use packaging, things like bag, straws

and bottles, that make up 40 percent of our plastic.

ROLAND GEYER: That would make a huge difference.

That will be -- and I think it's really doable.

Lots of people are at a point where they don't like what they see, that there's real willingness

to change behavior, to do things differently.

And I think there are many, many ways we can do it, then still allow us to have the good

life.

AMNA NAWAZ: To do that, experts say it will take governments, companies and individuals

working together, each taking small steps to bring about big change.

For the "PBS NewsHour" in Santa Barbara, California, I'm Amna Nawaz.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And, tomorrow, we will take a look at why China is no longer accepting

much of our recycling, including plastics, and the impact that's having.

The president held a press conference this evening in New York that lasted nearly 90

minutes.

We played some excerpts from that at the top of the program.

But we want to take a moment now to listen to one more question and answer.

Our White House correspondent, Yamiche Alcindor, was there, and asked Mr. Trump about the initial

reaction when he addressed the U.N. General Assembly yesterday.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Yesterday, you were talking about your administration's accomplishments

at the United Nations, and a lot of the leaders laughed.

Why do you think they were laughing?

DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: Well, that's fake news.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: And what was that experience like?

DONALD TRUMP: Yes, it's fake news.

And it was covered that way.

OK.

So I said that, since my election, our economy has become the hottest in the world, tax reductions,

regulations.

Confidence levels are the highest in 18 years, really soon to be historic.

Unemployment is the lowest in the history of our country.

As I said, our country is now stronger than ever before.

It's true.

I mean, it is true.

And I heard a little rustle.

And I said, it's true.

And I heard smiles.

And I said, oh, I didn't know there would be that kind of -- they weren't laughing at

me.

They were laughing with me.

We had fun.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And Yamiche joins me now by telephone.

She's still in New York.

Yamiche, the president wanted to set the record straight on that.

Much of that news conference, though, was about Brett Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court nominee,

tomorrow's hearings, the accusations against Judge Kavanaugh.

We heard the president, Yamiche, say that he really wants to hear the woman Christine

Blasey Ford testify.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: He did say that.

And he said that he reserved the right to pull his nomination and to withdraw the nomination

of Brett Kavanaugh if he hears something tomorrow that moves him.

And this president, of course, is someone who goes with his gut, who is very impulsive

at times.

So, there is an -- there is an opportunity there for the president to possibly say that

he does not want Brett Kavanaugh to be his nominee.

But the president said, in this country, you are guilty until proven innocent.

And he said that because he said: I myself face false allegations from women who say

that I acted sexually inappropriate.

And, of course, there are a number of women who have said that about the president.

And he's saying that he feels for Brett Kavanaugh, because of that, a sense of kinship.

So that is somewhat coloring his view of tomorrow's hearing.

JUDY WOODRUFF: It was interesting, Yamiche, because, early on in the news conference,

I heard him say that these accusations, not only from Christine Blasey Ford, but these

two other women who've come forward in the last day or two, he said, these are all false

accusations.

But then he also said, we should hear from these women.

So, there's a bit of a contradiction going here.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: There is definitely a contradiction there.

The president is saying that he wants to remain open, but he's also saying that these women

are not essentially telling the truth.

He was asked over and over again, are these women lying?

And while he wouldn't say that, yes, Professor Ford is lying, yes, all these other women,

Deborah Ramirez, is lying, he said that this is all about a -- this is all part of a con,

and that Democrats are -- waited until the last minute to do this.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Yamiche, it was quite a tour de force, 90 minutes.

Yamiche Alcindor, reporting for us from New York, thank you.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Thanks, Judy.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And that is the "NewsHour" for tonight.

I'm Judy Woodruff.

Don't forget to join us tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.

Eastern on your local PBS stations and streaming online for the Senate hearing with Brett Kavanaugh

and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford.

And, of course, we will be back right here tomorrow night.

For all of us at the "PBS NewsHour," thank you, and we'll see you soon.

Bill Cosby Heads to Prison - Duration: 22:42.

Live from New York City,

it's the Wendy Williams Show!

How you doin'?

(upbeat music)

♪ Feel it, feel it, feel it ♪

♪ Come on, you need it ♪

♪ Say it like you mean it ♪

♪ Just shout it out ♪

(upbeat music)

Now, here's Wendy!

(audience cheers) Tah-dah!

Yeah!

Why not?

Thank you for watching us today

and say hello to my co-hosts, my studio audience.

Fabulous.

How you doin'?

How you doin'?

(audience cheers)

Let's get started.

It's time for Hot Topics.

(upbeat music) (audience cheers)

Have you ever showed up at work and

Snoop Dogg is in your office?

Well I have.

(audience giggles)

Hot boxing the whole joint, no pun intended.

(audience cheers)

I do feel a ways.

I'm very stuck to this chair right now.

(audience laugh)

I will not lie.

He's here, he gave me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich

that tasted funny.

(audience laughs)

The brownies tasted funny.

(audience laughs)

There were flakes of everything

all around my nice beautiful desk.

(audience laughs)

The dog father's in the building.

Let's just say, (audience cheers)

everyone around here is a little leaning to the left.

(woman laughs)

I can't.

I can't.

I can't.

I can't.

As you all know, Bill Cosby, who's 81,

was sentenced to three to 10 years in state prison.

(audience gasps) He was sentenced yesterday.

This means that he has to do no less than three years.

That's what they say, no less than three.

He's not eligible for parole or anything like that

until after the three.

He was also denied bail and taken into custody.

(audience groans)

(audience claps)

Of course his wife was not there to support him.

She's as foil in all this.

You know Camille knew stuff.

None of his kids were there which says

a whole hell of a lot.

(audience groans)

Nobody.

Nobody was there for him.

He expressed no remorse and the judge says,

I'm not permitted to treat him

any differently based on who he is or who he was.

(audience claps)

I'm fighting with my mother because

my mother feels like he's 81 years old Wendy.

For goodness sakes.

He doesn't need to be going to jail.

Mommy, what the Methuselah?

(audience laughs)

He raped women with thigh gappers ma'.

What are you talking about?

Different generation.

He's 81, my mom's 83, my dad is 87.

I guess they feel a ways.

He wasn't feeling a ways when he's

feeling up on girls though.

I won't be talking to her probably for the rest of the week.

(audience laughs) I can't, I can't.

I will not speak to her.

There's nothing to say.

She's totally wrong but from that old school wrong.

Susanne, sometimes the old school,

they don't get it.

Nope, they don't get it.

I got a mother like that too.

(audience laughs)

There's definitely a whole different age gap between.

I can't think of the last time

that I fought with my mother over something though,

but we are literally in disagreement about Bill Cosby.

He was also deemed as a sexually violent predator mommy.

(audience gasps)

When he gets out,

he's gotta undergo counseling for the rest of his life.

First of all, what are you gonna say to the counselor

if you're Bill Cosby?

You sit there like,

(audience laughs)

I'm not talking to you.

It's a little too late.

Do you have a snack?

(audience laughs)

Also, that thing about being listed as a sexual offender.

That's big.

You know all you have to do is

Google online and see your neighborhood

and they have the orange dot on all the predators.

Believe me you, believe me.

They have the dot.

If you wanna Google where you live,

whether it's in a detached house or an apartment,

all you do is you get on there and

then you see the orange dot.

You'd be surprised how many orange dots

are all over the place.

Not you Mr. Smith.

Really?

(audience laughs)

Or is this a leftover dot from the

people who used to own the house?

(audience laughs)

What a legacy Bill Cosby.

What a legacy.

Mary J. Blige and her ex Kendu are

being sued by their former landlord.

(audience gasps)

Dammit Snoop.

And I got cotton mouth.

(audience laughs)

And I want a snack.

(audience laughs)

I feel like laying down.

(audience laughs)

I don't know what we're gonna talk about.

I don't like to fight in this state.

(audience laughs)

He come out here,

we'll have a smooth conversation about what?

I don't know.

Wake me up when it's done.

(audience laughs)

(audience claps)

Dammit man.

(woman laughs)

(audience laughs)

Mary and Kendu's former landlord

is saying that they failed to pay

$27,000 rent for four months.

(audience groans)

That place must be spectacular.

$27,000 a month.

Four months.

Gee.

The landlord threatened to kick them out

and then Kendu and Mary agreed

to let the landlord keep their $51,000 deposit,

but you don't get to keep a deposit.

The deposit is so that you can

fix holes in walls and things like that.

It's not to pay for your rent.

The landlord agreed to pay this deposit, whatever it is.

In the meantime, the condition of the home,

the landlord is not happy with.

This is in Beverly Hills.

In Beverly Hills.

There were holes in the walls and

I guess soiled carpet and things were broken,

equipment was stolen. (audience gasps)

(woman chuckles)

(audience laughs)

When they finally moved out,

the landlord claims that they caused

over $16,000 in damages.

(audience groans)

And stole $31,000 worth of audio visual equipment.

(audience groans)

Well they liked it.

(audience laughs)

Mary and Kendu no longer get together.

They're not married,

they don't have any children together or anything like that.

I'm thinking, who's putting holes in walls?

Mary doesn't have kids.

Kendu, these are your kids, or whatever.

Who's putting holes in walls?

You ever go in somebody's house

and you see a hole in the wall?

You're like,

(audience laughs)

maybe another time.

(audience laughs)

Holes in walls.

The landlord was probably patient and silent.

Now it's time for him I guess to get loud about it,

but he probably waited around.

You're not landing and lording a place

that's that expensive when you have nothing for yourself.

The landlord probably,

he had the time to wait for his money,

and the respect maybe for Mary.

Is there any truth to this story?

I can't imagine Mary and Kendu

getting together and paying this.

Kendu is making money off Mary.

Spousal support, we talk about that.

Mary is still in her earning years.

I mean, Mar, might be time for that residency

in Vegas or something.

(audience claps)

Or something.

Or something.

The landlord wants $58,211.13 plus interest in damages.

Mary, $58,000, just make it go away Mary.

Just make it go away. (audience laughs)

Make it go away, you know what I mean.

(audience claps)

(audience laughs)

You know that man Chris Hemsworth?

He's really hot.

He's Thor.

Yes!

He's got a wife and they got a couple of kids.

The wife is cute, the kids are five and two months.

They got a brand new one.

Five year old twins.

Six and five year old twins.

Same difference.

(audience laughs) (man laughs)

Dammit Snoop.

(audience laughs)

(woman laughs)

(audience cheers)

(woman sighs)

Chris and his wife are making their neighbors very upset.

They're Australian, they live in Australia,

and they're building this massive home.

It looks like either a mall or

something or a state prison. (audience gasps)

This is for four people,

but you wanna know what?

That's just the top of it.

Would you look at all that outdoor space?

Can you imagine what inside looks like?

He did this for $8,000.

(audience gasps)

Excuse me, $8 million,

(audience gasps)

which is nothing.

Do you see this?

This is massive!

He did this for $8 million.

That's nothing!

Do you know what it costs to build

something like this in Long Island?

(audience giggles)

The neighbors are complaining, wah, wah, wah,

because the Hemsworths, they bought the property,

they bulldozed the original house.

It's their house.

They do with it what they want.

They bulldozed it down and now they've built

this fabulous giant house and everybody's very upset.

They're like, what are you doing?

You're ruining the neighborhood.

Who are you neighbors?

(audience laughs) First of all, the Hemsworth,

they are elevating your entire situation.

The idea of his, he built this massive mess, it's his money.

He can do with it what he wants.

(audience claps)

The only thing I would've done is

I would've pushed it a little bit closer to the beach.

Just push it a little closer to the beach,

but he owns all that so who are you neighbors?

Then you move, and guess what?

Your property value is up because

you live next to something like this.

The key is when you buy a house,

you don't buy the biggest house in the neighborhood.

(audience claps)

You buy the in between house in the neighborhood

and you let the rich people buy the big houses.

They make everybody look good.

He's elevated your situation.

$8 million.

$8 million.

It's huge.

(audience laughs)

I don't even know what four people do in a house like that.

(audience laughs)

Honestly.

Get lost.

(audience laughs)

There's a place where the killer can have a bedroom.

(audience laughs)

You know the killer just lays in the

cut in your house for a week, eating your food,

you don't even realize what's going on,

and then he kills you at the end of the week.

(audience laughs)

It's frightening, too scary.

Scary.

(audience claps)

We all love Kenan Thompson.

He's been to our show before and he's

Mr. Saturday Night Live. (audience claps)

Of everybody who's ever been on that show, all the stars,

he's the one with the longest running situation.

15 years he's been there 'cause normally

people just stick and move.

You're there for three years, you make your bones,

and then you become a Chris Rock or

then you become an Eddie Murphy or something like that.

You move on with your life.

After 15 years on SNL,

he's finally going to star in his own sitcom.

(audience cheers)

It's called Saving Larry.

Now listen,

(audience laughs)

the sitcom is gonna be on NBC just like SNL.

The sitcom is gonna be produced by

Lorne Michaels who produces SNL.

(audience groans)

Kenan's gonna play a widow raising his kids

living with his father-in-law, a widower.

That could be funny.

The problem is, if it doesn't work out.

'Cause you can't go back to SNL once you leave.

You kind of can't go back.

They don't even know whether this show's picked up or not.

(audience groans)

They're working on a pilot and already

people are talking like it's gonna be

the next big thing and he's gonna be leaving SNL.

Kenan, this is what I'd do.

You've got a young wife,

that wife of yours, you got a kid or so,

a four year old and a two month old.

See, I knew two months was somewhere in Hot Topics.

(audience laughs)

You've got a wife who will hold you down.

You need to keep both jobs and I'm gonna tell you why.

Because if this sitcom doesn't work,

at least you have SNL, your tried and true.

Plus, who's gonna imitate Bill Cosby?

(audience laughs)

This is your time. (audience claps)

Along with imitating him,

you played Fat Albert in the movie.

(audience laughs)

You've got a connection.

The TV business in general is so damn risky.

If I were you, I wouldn't quit.

I would do both jobs for two years

to see where this sitcom's going to go

and if this sitcom goes better

and they renew you for another two more years,

then I'd take the sitcom job,

but I wouldn't do one or the other.

I can't.

When I got this talk show, I stayed in radio.

(audience laughs)

I was like, 'cause what if this mess doesn't work out?

(audience laughs)

I would come here and get the eyelashes and stuff

and then scramble across town to Park Avenue

and do that radio show.

I would get in the house with both toothpicks.

(audience laughs)

Tired as hell, having to greet a five year old.

Mommy, mommy!

Oh my gosh.

Oh.

(audience laughs)

(audience claps)

I wasn't gonna leave radio which is

already a good thing to me.

Then this show, it finally took off enough

that I took a chance and said, bye radio,

but there was a long period of time there boy.

I was burning these candles at all ends,

(audience laughs)

and dealing with a five year old.

(audience claps)

(audience laughs)

I'm all emotional.

Alicia Silverstone,

this is the same woman who chewed her food

and she spit it in her baby's mouth.

(audience groans)

She's that girl.

Like a bird, like a bird.

(woman laughs) (audience laughs)

Alicia Silverstone said she wouldn't hesitate

to ask her husband, her ex-husband, to get her pregnant.

She said that she would not hesitate.

They already have a daughter together.

A son.

(bleep)

(audience laughs)

The child's name is Bear.

They already have Bear.

(audience laughs)

Alicia and Chris have only been divorced for four months.

They were married for 13 years

and they share the custody of Bear.

She was asked during an interview

does she wanna have more children, and so she said yeah.

She said, I'd like to have more children

with my ex-husband actually.

I know where he's from, his DNA.

Bear wants another sibling.

Bear would like to have a sibling and sure why not.

I just find this just so damn weird.

(audience laughs)

'Cause then, how do you deal with the next man

if the next man knows you're so into your husband,

or your ex-husband,

that you actually double backed around

and had a baby with him?

Why don't you all just start dating again?

Maybe divorce isn't for you.

(audience claps) Maybe divorce isn't for you.

I personally just think that that's kind of strange.

I'm either black or white.

Either I like you or I don't.

You're either in my life or you're not in my life.

I told you, I'm working on a gray area.

I've been working on it for 10 years.

(audience laughs)

I still have no gray area.

A divorce means go.

I play with you all about drive-bys and stuff,

but I play with that.

No.

I don't want you.

Come pick up the kids and go on about your life.

Stop making me coo-coo in the head

as we embrace after midnight when the

wine and ambien set in.

(audience laughs)

(audience claps)

Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child.

She's married.

No, she's not married yet.

She's got a fiance and you know,

they're starring in their own reality show.

I told you this I think in the spring this was coming up.

All of a sudden her fans are all over social media

having really, really mixed feelings about it.

Mostly the ones that say bad choice.

Reality shows break up families and so on and so forth.

Michelle got on Instagram to defend her choice saying,

this is an awesome, unique opportunity

to show what God is doing.

We mutually want to show our journey to marriage.

(audience laughs)

Problem is, do we wanna see it?

(audience laughs)

I'm just saying, a lovely girl.

You know we play with Michelle all the time.

Poor Michelle.

Michelle.

(audience laughs)

Nobody cares about your journey to the altar.

(audience laughs)

(audience claps)

She's not that interesting as a person

and her husband is a pastor.

His name is Chad.

Oh!

By the way,

they will not be having sex until the honeymoon.

(audience groans)

Hold on, I've got a start date.

The show is called Chad Loves Michelle.

It premieres Sunday night November 3rd at nine.

Clap if this is a show that you'd watch.

(audience claps) (audience laughs)

Michelle, good luck!

In the meantime, we've got more great show here.

(audience cheers)

Up next, the one and only, the legendary Snoop Dogg is here

so grab a snack and come on back.

(audience cheers) (upbeat music)

Finally, DanDan Noodles are here! [Battle Trip/2018.09.09] - Duration: 15:51.

(30 minutes by car to Kuan Zhai Xiang Zi)

- I'm hungry. / - If we continue on this alley...

We'll be at the restaurant you told me about.

This restaurant name means "Come enjoy our food."

- Dandan noodles. / - Dandan noodles are delicious.

(Dandan noodles)

- That looks good. / - Doesn't it usually have soup?

- They're stir-fried in Sichuan. / - Right.

- Originally, the dish is... / - This isn't a soup dish.

People say that when in Sichuan, eat dandan noodles.

People say that.

So, the spiciness level...

- Level 1? / - Level 1? Okay.

I'll trust you with food.

Because Mr. Baek has your back.

He explained the origin to me.

I was recording him to listen to it.

- It's a video. / - Yes.

When you go to a restaurant...

- What's he doing? / - My daughter...

He's dressing a doll.

I've never seen him like that.

He's busy dressing a doll.

You can't ask him this stuff when he's busy like that.

- He loves it when I ask. / - Does he?

Dandan noodles means to carry...

Dandan noodles.

That's why it's called dandan noodles.

How well they use the chili oil is very important.

The use of chili oil is very important.

Dandan means "to carry."

In the past, the vendors carried

the noodles and the ingredients to sell them...

- On the street. / - Dandan noodles.

Also, suan la something.

- Oh, suan la fen. / - The sour...

- It's dumplings with sauce. / - I like that.

(Finished ordering)

Good? Like this.

(Chewy boiled noodles)

Even if you can't speak Chinese...

- If you order what I showed you, / - Chili oil.

- That'd be enough. / - It'll suit our taste.

(Dandan noodles, $3)

(A charming sour and spicy dish, suan la fen)

(Raeyeon's recommendation, dumplings)

Finally, dandan noodles are here.

- Chili oil is at the bottom. / - Chili oil is important.

- The sauce is at the bottom. / - Yes.

- It's getting red. / - That's really delicious.

- It's so good. / - It's really red.

- It doesn't look too spicy. / - It's really delicious.

- It kind of looks like black bean noodles. / - Yes.

- It does. / - Here we go.

(How will the original dandan noodles taste?)

(Slurping)

I can smell the mala sauce right away

but I'm not repulsed by it.

It looks bland.

It doesn't look good but it's full of flavor.

That looks really good.

It's really good.

It's tasty and spicy.

It looks really good.

(Dandan noodles have a strong flavor)

The peanut sauce neutralizes the spicy flavor.

Even if you can't handle spicy food...

It's red but not spicy at all.

(Dandan noodles are slightly spicy)

- Is it like mixed noodles? / - Yes, it is.

It's like black bean noodles.

Goodness.

It's delicious.

Try the suan la fen.

- Suan la fen. / - Suan la fen?

Suan means "sour" and la means "spicy."

Suan la fen. Fen means "glass noodles."

- I tried it before. / - It's like kimchi stew.

Kimchi stew is a bit sour.

It's like kimchi stew.

Kind of like spicy meat soup.

It's health food.

(Suan la fen, $2)

That's interesting.

- It goes down so easily. / - Yes.

This is great for stimulating your appetite.

This glass noodles didn't get soggy, did they?

- They're like that. / - This is the original texture.

It's very similar to glass noodles we know.

(Familiar, yet strange look and texture)

I thought it'd be really spicy.

- It is the level 1. / - Yes.

It's not super spicy.

This is great for people

who are trying spicy Sichuan food for the first time.

(A good starting point for beginners)

- Is it spicy? / - It is, but it's sour.

It's less spicier than instant noodles.

Dumplings.

Boiled dumplings.

(Staring)

You have to eat dumplings in China.

I'm hungry.

This shows that we're in Sichuan.

You can tell right away.

"This is Sichuan."

(This is Sichuan!)

- I see. / - The sauce.

- You dip the dumpling in the sauce. / - Chili oil.

It's Sichuan red oil dumplings.

You dip it in sauce and eat it.

(Gosh)

(Yujin, who's in charge of food, is nervous)

I'm angry.

Why don't people know about this?

- She's angry. / - It tastes so good.

- That sauce is so good. / - The dumpling is good too.

- The skin is delicious. / - The pork inside.

- No vegetables? Just meat? / - Yes.

- Without sauce. / - It's so good.

I love meat dumplings.

That looks pretty inside.

- It's so good. / - Goodness.

The skin and the stuffing go so well together.

I think I can eat 100 of them right now.

- Seriously, I can. / - Right on the spot.

(It makes me angry)

The dumpling tastes perfect with the sauce.

This is no. 1 out of the 3 dishes.

(Who are you by the way?)

For your daughters?

(They dropped by a souvenir shop)

- It's a panda wearing a mask. / - It's so cute.

- Isn't it cute? / - Yes.

It's wearing blush.

- It's cute. / - It is.

- This is the Zhendehao Tour. / - Yes.

If something was fun, we'll take this panda out.

"Really good!" We'll express it with the panda.

Zhendehao Tour's spiciness level 1.

- Open it if it was delicious. / - Okay.

- Alright? Be honest. / - I am.

- 1, 2, 3. / - 1, 2, 3.

Should I call it harmonious?

It makes me angry.

(What will be the fate of the panda?)

- So if you like it, you open the lens? / - Yes.

Really good.

(Really good)

I'm so happy.

- What will we do? / - Now that we ate...

Have you ever had your ears cleaned?

- Ears? / - Yes. Do you do it yourself?

Yes, I do.

Here, there are professional ear cleaners.

They clean your ears.

- Do you think it's weird? / - I've never done it.

It feels so good.

After we do it, don't ask to do it again.

(Sights, Food)

(Sights)

(Kuan Zhai Xiang Zi)

- That was good. / - It was delicious.

There are more people.

- You're right. / - There are more people.

This is Kuan Zhai Xiang Zi.

Kwan means "broad," zhai means "narrow,"

and xiang zi means "alley."

This is like Insa-dong in Korea.

- Doesn't it look great? / - Goodness.

- It looks amazing. / - Nice.

It looks historical.

Let's go there together someday.

That place is really amazing.

(Experiencing old China in the city)

- This is like paradise. / - Really?

Because we can...

Shop and eat great food here.

(Kuan Zhai Xiang Zi is a popular place full of people)

What's great about this place is

that everything has a fixed price.

So you don't have to barter.

Bartering is tiring.

You don't have to do that.

- That's great. / - It's all set out.

- Because it's a designated tourist area. / - Right.

(China's old traditions have been preserved here)

- That's an instrument. / - It really looks like China.

(There are so many things to see)

- Are those noodles? / - Yes.

Awesome.

- He looks hot. / - What?

- Look at his face. / - So cool.

Goodness, what's that?

There are lots to see, along with the food.

Yes, it's fun to watch.

As you walk along, it's so entertaining.

We just walked down the wide street.

Now, when we turn left, and it's the narrow street.

It has a different atmosphere.

- Wide and narrow street. / - That street is really narrow.

We took pictures in the narrow street.

(Where are they off to next?)

Ta-da.

- What is that? / - Ta-da. We're here.

- Just on the street. / - Just like that.

There are so many on the street.

This is the place.

Is this where we get our ears cleaned? Outdoors?

- It was outdoors? / - They're...

Normally outside like this.

- Sit down. / - I'm taken aback.

People are passing by.

He'll clean your ears.

I'm scared.

- Are you scared? / - It's hot.

Yes. I've never done this before.

- Oh, my. / - He's so cool.

- He's very serious. / - Yes.

This kind of gives you goose bumps. It's not hot.

- He has a lot of tools. / - Yujin got scared.

I was really scared in the beginning.

(She's touched by the famous ear cleaning)

I can hear it.

Isn't it nice?

What?

- Isn't it nice? / - I shouldn't speak loudly.

(Laughing)

- It's like ventriloquism. / - You can talk.

If I do, my jaw will move

and it'll affect my ear cleaning.

When I take my kids to the doctor and

when they get scared of getting their ears cleaned...

I scolded them. But this is scary.

I understand how they feel now.

Can you ask them

if anyone bled while doing this?

Never. And they've been doing this for 12 years.

Relax. 12 years.

- What's that? / - What is that?

- Is it acupuncture? / - He's doing something.

- What's that? / - What is that?

- He said it's a massage. / - Wait a minute.

- Seriously, inside the ear... / - Wait.

He's massaging the inside of the ear.

You can feel all that.

(The inside of the ear is massaged through vibration)

He's not budging.

(It's my ear but I can't control it)

- She can't quit now. / - He's already started.

I just heard a drill in my ear.

(Fascinated)

- It looks interesting. / - It trembles.

- It feels really good. / - Doesn't it tickle?

It feels really good.

It seems like he's done with one ear.

(He's getting ready to clean the other ear)

His expression doesn't change.

She seems like she has given up.

I think I should go get a neck massage after this.

I'm straining my neck.

Once you try it, you'll love it.

It feels really good.

I love it.

(She looks uptight even from a distance)

He stuck something in my ear.

(Peaceful)

No, no, no.

My goodness.

(Anyway, the extreme ear cleaning is over)

I love it.

(Her soul is cleaned away together with her earwax)

Thank you.

So, how was the earwax cleaning?

To me, it's obvious. 1, 2, 3.

(Really)

- Really. / - Then, let's keep this one closed.

Let's open this one. Good.

I'd recommend this for a special experience.

I'd recommend this for an experience

but right after, you have to go get a neck massage.

I admit some people might not like it

but I love it. I like it so much.

It's nice but for those who try it for the first time,

they might not like it too much.

- Okay. / - They can be nervous.

- I understand. / - Just relax if you do it.

I like how it turned out in the end.

It's very interesting.

- She looks very relaxed. / - She does.

(They walk around the narrow alleyways)

There is an alley here as well. There are stores.

I love this street.

Do you know the sauce for mala hot pot?

- I know. / - They're selling the sauce here.

This is very spicy and this is a little spicy.

I'd like the one that is a little spicy.

(They purchased the soup for hot pot)

(Only 10 steps away from the store)

What is this?

This is a plum tea.

- Would you like to try it? / - Yes.

- Try it. / - It's interesting.

This was really good.

- The plum tea? / - Yes.

All the staff tried this and said it's really good.

- This is exactly what I wanted. / - Is it?

- It's not too sweet either. / - No.

After you eat a lot of greasy food

in a fancy restaurant,

you get a small glass of plum tea.

It's not too sweet. It has a clean taste.

- I really like this. / - I really like this too.

This is a chrysanthemum tea.

If you put this in the water,

the flower blooms in it.

If you serve this to the elderly...

- They will love it. / - Exactly.

Saying, "This is chrysanthemum tea."

- It's so pretty. / - It is.

- You're shopping a lot. / - We did a lot.

What is this?

(Let's see)

The one in the front is pudding

and those are rabbit heads.

- What? / - Rabbit heads?

- It has teeth. / - Yes?

There were all kinds of heads.

- Rabbit heads? / - They are the teeth, right?

Yes, they are.

(Culture shock)

(What did they find?)

- Hey, look at that. / - It's a pig.

It's a pig's nose.

It's a pig's nose.

Why are there spring onions in it?

There is only one nose...

- Per pig. / - Only one.

It's a limited edition.

A pig's nose?

(Should I try it?)

- How about we share it? / - Should we try it?

- It looks interesting. / - It could be chewy.

My gosh, I can't believe I'm trying a pig's nose.

- Take a picture of me. / - 1, 2, 3.

- Looks good on her. / - They wanted to take pictures.

They look good with it.

Look at that.

Thank you.

So, this is how it looks when it's sliced.

(They boldly take a piece)

I think some might not like this.

That's not true. Everyone will like it.

- Really? / - Everyone will like it?

It tastes like pig's head.

It's a lot more chewy than the pork hocks.

Some people only like the chewy part with pork hocks.

It's like a collection of the chewy parts.

I heard it's way chewier and tastier than...

- The chewy pork hock rind. / - You're right.

It's the pure chewiness itself.

- It's tasty. / - Is it?

Yes.

I think it's worth trying.

This is definitely worth a try. And you should...

Ask for the sauce.

You want the spicy sauce.

- Spicy sauce. / - So that's the sauce.

It's similar to the instant noodle base.

Is it similar to the spice we eat with lamb skewers?

It's a little different. It's less salty.

Right?

How was the pig's nose? 1, 2, 3.

- Really good! / - Really good!

Yujin opened it too.

- It was really tasty. / - It's so chewy.

It suits perfectly to my taste. It's so chewy.

(Really good)

- I'm hungry. / - We've been sightseeing a lot.

- It's about time to eat. / - Level 2 of the spicy food.

Trump says leaders at UN laughed with him, not at him: 'We had fun' - Duration: 3:11.

JUDY WOODRUFF: The president held a press conference this evening in New York that lasted

nearly 90 minutes.

We played some excerpts from that at the top of the program.

But we want to take a moment now to listen to one more question and answer.

Our White House correspondent, Yamiche Alcindor, was there, and asked Mr. Trump about the initial

reaction when he addressed the U.N. General Assembly yesterday.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Yesterday, you were talking about your administration's accomplishments

at the United Nations, and a lot of the leaders laughed.

Why do you think they were laughing?

DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: Well, that's fake news.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: And what was that experience like?

DONALD TRUMP: Yes, it's fake news.

And it was covered that way.

OK.

So I said that, since my election, our economy has become the hottest in the world, tax reductions,

regulations.

Confidence levels are the highest in 18 years, really soon to be historic.

Unemployment is the lowest in the history of our country.

As I said, our country is now stronger than ever before.

It's true.

I mean, it is true.

And I heard a little rustle.

And I said, it's true.

And I heard smiles.

And I said, oh, I didn't know there would be that kind of -- they weren't laughing at

me.

They were laughing with me.

We had fun.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And Yamiche joins me now by telephone.

She's still in New York.

Yamiche, the president wanted to set the record straight on that.

Much of that news conference, though, was about Brett Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court nominee,

tomorrow's hearings, the accusations against Judge Kavanaugh.

We heard the president, Yamiche, say that he really wants to hear the woman Christine

Blasey Ford testify.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: He did say that.

And he said that he reserved the right to pull his nomination and to withdraw the nomination

of Brett Kavanaugh if he hears something tomorrow that moves him.

And this president, of course, is someone who goes with his gut, who is very impulsive

at times.

So, there is an -- there is an opportunity there for the president to possibly say that

he does not want Brett Kavanaugh to be his nominee.

But the president said, in this country, you are guilty until proven innocent.

And he said that because he said: I myself face false allegations from women who say

that I acted sexually inappropriate.

And, of course, there are a number of women who have said that about the president.

And he's saying that he feels for Brett Kavanaugh, because of that, a sense of kinship.

So that is somewhat coloring his view of tomorrow's hearing.

JUDY WOODRUFF: It was interesting, Yamiche, because, early on in the news conference,

I heard him say that these accusations, not only from Christine Blasey Ford, but these

two other women who've come forward in the last day or two, he said, these are all false

accusations.

But then he also said, we should hear from these women.

So, there's a bit of a contradiction going here.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: There is definitely a contradiction there.

The president is saying that he wants to remain open, but he's also saying that these women

are not essentially telling the truth.

He was asked over and over again, are these women lying?

And while he wouldn't say that, yes, Professor Ford is lying, yes, all these other women,

Deborah Ramirez, is lying, he said that this is all about a -- this is all part of a con,

and that Democrats are -- waited until the last minute to do this.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Yamiche, it was quite a tour de force, 90 minutes.

Yamiche Alcindor, reporting for us from New York, thank you.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Thanks, Judy.

Fantasy Premier League tips: Best value bargain FPL transfers you need in GW7 - Duration: 3:32.

 Fantasy Premier League bargain superstars can be the most important players in a successful FPL team, picking up big points from the 'squad filler' roles

 Premium cost stars are usually obvious to spot, but obscure heroes can often sail under the radar

 Liverpool represent terrific value in defence with a pair of stars sure to be landing in teams around the world if they aren't already

 Chelsea are also represented among the best value stars, while Bournemouth hero Ryan Fraser has fired himself up the rankings in recent weeks

 Express Sport has rounded up the top 10 best value Fantasy Premier League stars based on points per million of their price tags

10. Shane Duffy (Brighton – DEF): £4.5m – 6.0 points per million Still without a clean sheet, but two goals and two assists have massively boosted his points haul

9. Andrew Robertson (Liverpool – DEF): £6.0m – 6.6 points per million Only two goals conceded in six games have propelled Liverpool defenders into plenty of teams

Robertson brings assists too.8. Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool – DEF): £5.1m – 6

7 points per million Six games, five clean sheets after being withdrawn before Tottenham's late consolation goal at Wembley

He's far cheaper than Robertson too.7. Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace – DEF): £4

3m – 6.7 points per million Without his red card and subsequent absences, Wan-Bissaka would comfortably top this league with three clean sheets and maximum bonus points in each of those games

6. Jose Holebas (Watford – DEF): £4.9m – 7.1 points per million Slipping down the list after a lack of clean sheets, but he has proven himself as a creator

5. Ryan Fraser (Bournemouth – MID): £5.9m – 7.1 points per million Two enormous points hauls have fired him up the best value list

Consistency would make him gold dust.4. Neil Etheridge (Cardiff – GKP): £4.6m – 7

2 points per million 12 goals conceded in the last three games mean Etheridge will fall down the list

3. Joe Hart (Burnley – GKP): £4.5m – 7.3 points per million The former Manchester City star is doing a good job rebuilding his reputation at Burnley

2. Marcos Alonso (Chelsea – DEF): £6.9m – 7.5 points per million Despite his massive price, Alonso remains a terrific value player to snap up

1. Wayne Hennessey (Crystal Palace – GKP): £4.6m – 7.6 points per million Palace have notched up two clean sheets in the row, with another coming at the start of the season, and Hennessey is a cheap option

Hockney's tribute in glass to Queen's love of nature - Duration: 5:12.

 She and other senior royals will see The Queen's Window for the first time at a remembrance service in November marking the centenary of the end of the First World War

  The 26ft abstract window, depicting a hawthorn blossom in the Yorkshire countryside, was commissioned by the Dean of Westminster, the Very Rev Dr John Hall

  It replaces a plain glass window dating from the Second World War. It is Hockney's first venture in stained glass and the undisclosed costs were met by private donations

  The 81-year-old said the iPad was natural to use as it is "back-lit like a window"

  But he admitted it was a challenge, adding: "I've learned something about glass

" Asked whether he had heard from the Queen, he said: "Not yet, but I hope she'll like it

I'm sure she will."  Hockney, who once turned down the chance to paint the Queen's portrait because he was "very busy painting England actually, her country", chose a hawthorn as a celebration of spring and summer and said he was inspired by artists Matisse, Chagall, "and a few other people" for the new work

  An Abbey spokesman said: "The subject reflects the Queen as a countrywoman and her widespread delight in, and yearning for, the countryside

" Dr Hall said: "I'm excited by it. I think there's absolutely no harm at all in having something which is particular and vibrant and different

 "It's going to be here until the end. I mean, who knows what's going to happen in the future? The Abbey's only been here just over 1,000 years

It'll be here thousands more."  Barley Studio, based in York, created the window

 YES, says Estelle Lovatt, Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and art critic I AM definitely in favour of this piece

  I love the colours.  Hockney, probably the most influential artist of our time, has not deviated from the usual way that he uses his iPad to draw or paint so he is staying true to his preferred medium

  I love the fact that he is using modern technology to design it, but traditional stained glass makers' style to actually create it

  You can recognise it as a Hockney anywhere.  This is a wonderful use of bright colours and when the sun shines through them it will be like looking at it on the iPad

  Artists throughout history loved creating imagery for and through the church, but this doesn't have any religious symbolism that you would normally expect to find

  It's all to do with nature.  Not only does the Queen love the landscape, so does Hockney, coming from Yorkshire

  He chose spring and summer, a time when we are celebrating life, so he is using that time not only to celebrate life, but also the Queen and her reign

  I'm looking forward to standing below the stained glass window to feel the warmth of the colours

  I'm sure it will be a magical moment. NO, says Ruth Millington, Art and culture critic DAVID Hockney joins numerous other famous artists, including Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse, who have created modern artworks in this traditional medium

  However, I was disappointed by the Westminster Abbey design.  Today, what Hockney does best is paint large panoramas of the English countryside

  Fields and hedgerows stretch across space, imagined in dazzling colour.  Here, there is no space

  The hawthorn blossom illustration is crammed into a pair of narrow, pointed panels

  The pathway leading up to the trees is divided disruptively in two by the church architecture

  The image also lacks Hockney's usual craftsmanship and the scene is too simplistic: abstracted shapes appear awkward and lazily drawn

  Lacking perspective and depth, the window doesn't draw you in.  I'm guessing he knocked this design up on his iPad in an hour or so

  Less of a landscape, and more of a brightly-coloured decoration, David Hockney's design lacks feeling, majesty or power

  It also fails to tell a story, which is part of the stained glass window's sacred role

Breaking News - Warren Gatland reveals fears that bad 2019 will taint Wales legacy - Duration: 4:29.

Warren Gatland is concerned that a bad 2019 will tarnish his legacy in Wales, as the New Zealander prepares to cap his final year in style by lifting the World Cup

There is a steely determination from the 55-year-old to add the Webb Ellis Trophy to his already glittering c

v. - and a true belief that this is the best chance Wales have ever had to be crowned world champions

They made the 2011 World Cup semi-final, but lost 9-8 to France when captain Sam Warburton was sent off for a spear-tackle - something that still rankles with head coach Gatland seven years on

So with one last chance for redemption on the horizon, as he turns into the home straight there is trepidation for Gatland entering his 12th year in the job

'I'm s****** myself about next year because I want it to be a good year,' he admitted

'There's a certain amount of pressure. The last thing I want to do is have a poor Six Nations and a poor World Cup, because the amount of work we've put in over the past 12 years has been huge

'I've really enjoyed it. It's been challenging, but good. We want to finish as well as we possibly can and I can hopefully leave these shores with my head held high

'We would have liked to have won a bit more and probably done a bit better against southern hemisphere teams, but I think our record in the Six Nations and the win-loss ratio has been pretty outstanding from a Wales perspective

'And the way we've performed in World Cups has been pretty admirable as well. 'So the next 12 months is pretty important - not so much November and the warm-up games, but the Six Nations, where it counts, and definitely the World Cup, where it's important

'Those are the competitions where we are judged on. That's why I'll be really focused on doing the best job that I can

' While in England World Cup preparations have appeared somewhat chaotic - with overhaul in the coaching staff, poor results and a whole host of selection creases to iron out - Wales are happy to fly under the radar

They have snuck up to third in the world rankings, after wins over a weakened South Africa and Argentina in the summer, have a settled coaching team with Gatland, Rob Howley, Shaun Edwards and Robin McBryde together for almost a decade, and believe they possess unprecedented depth in their playing squad

Going into his fourth World Cup - third with Wales - Gatland thinks he has fined-tuned his preparations

Two training camps are booked in for 2019 - one at altitude and one for 'heat-stress' training in hot conditions

In stark contrast to England the autumn Tests will less about results, more conditioning, skills and fitness; indeed, a new bespoke gym for the national team is being built at the Wales team base in Glamorgan ready for the Six Nations

Wales face Scotland, Australia, Tonga and South Africa in November with Gatland only emphasising the importance of a result in the Wallabies and Springboks games

Sportsmail understands England-based players - like Bath's Taulupe Faletau - will not be available for Scotland, and it is believed Gatland will rest key men for the Tonga match

He would have preferred three matches only, but understands the financial imperative of a fourth fixture - especially with the Wallabies in Wales' World Cup Pool next year

'Being frank it's about generating money,' he added. 'If it was me I possibly would have just had the three games

'It will be part of the depth development but we want to play well against Australia and South Africa because they will be tough, physical games at real pace and that's what we're going to experience in Japan
