The US Senate has narrowly voted to advance President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to a final vote.We speak to our correspondent about what's coming up next in the nomination process. We also look at how this is playing out in the wider public and hear from two young voters.
Also today: we continue to tell the stories of those who survived the earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia. We hear again from Aiman Al Ali in Palu. He says people are too scared to sleep in their houses because the houses could collapse and also because of landslides. And we speak to Marie Laguerre, the French woman, who was slapped by a man after she told him to stop harassing her on a Paris street.
