BBC World Service - Newshour, 'Historic' Supreme Court Hearing Looms

First woman to accuse Supreme Court nominee Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct testifies

First woman to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct testifies.

Today Judge Brett Kavanaugh, nominated by President Trump to sit on the Supreme Court, and the first woman who has accused him of sexual assault, Dr Chirstine Blasey Ford, will both testify before a Senate panel hearing. Mr Kavanaugh has denied the allegations. We'll have live analysis of the hearing.

Also in the programme: the IMF has agreed to provide a bigger, faster bailout to Argentina than initially planned. Also, the first-ever Global Wetland Outlook says that wetlands are disappearing rapidly - with potentially devastating consequences. We hear from the wetland convention's Secretary General.
