- The Kavanaugh hearings: Supreme Court nominee faces accuserChristine Blasey Ford before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Up to now, Brett Kavanaugh seemed a shoe-in for confirmation to the US Supreme Court. Now, Donald Trump's pick for a lifetime appointment to the high bench is in doubt. We look at Ford's accusation of sexual assault when in high school, her testimony before the senate judiciary committee and Kavanaugh's rebuttal.0 min
- What does labour want? UK opposition split over BrexitThe big party conferences, first Labour in Liverpool then Birmingham for the Conservatives taking place to the tick-tock sound of Brexit: with six months to go, terms of divorce with the continent must be sealed before the end of the year if they're to be ratified in time. And yet, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was over 45 minutes into his speech before he uttered the B-word. What does that say about the opposition leader's true position on Brexit?0 min
- Which world order? Trump, Macron spell out rival visions at U.N.Two diametrically opposed world views playing out before world leaders gathered for the annual opening of the UN General Assembly in New York.

UN week is a chance to take stock of the challenges facing the planet.0 min
- Iran Under Pressure: Tehran Vows Retaliation After Ahvaz AttackIran's leader, Hassan Rouhani, returns to the UN general assembly for the first time since Washington walked away from the nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions.

- Brewing Storm: The politics of extreme weatherAfter heat waves, monsoons and forest fires this summer, warming ocean temperatures have hurricane Florence bearing down on the Carolinas and Typhoon Mangkhut battering the Philippines. Extreme weather's no longer the exception. Local governments and the private sector look to do more. But it also means rethinking how we as citizens live our lives. Are governments all for going green just so long as it doesn't dent growth: can we always want more, more money, if the planet can't afford it?0 min
- Battle of values: EU parliament recommends sanctions against HungaryIt started with the Brexit campaign. Now a battle of values is playing out on the continent.
