body al-jazeera as alan fischer looks at ginsberg's legacy. they started to gather on the steps of the supreme court in washington his use of ruth bader ginsburg's death broke it brought flowers and candles the number swelled people marking a loss they felt personally. ruth bader ginsburg was physically small but her presence loomed large on the court she was a blunt talking liberal who often challenge her conservative colleagues on the bench born to jewish immigrants in brooklyn new york in 1033 ginsburg was a brilliant student she was one of only one woman to enroll in harvard university law school in 1956 later transferring to columbia university where she graduated at the top of her class the skin's book told one television interviewer no law firms wanted to hire a married mother i had 3 strikes against me when i was jewish 2 hour later. i was the mother of a 4 year old. but as the sixty's and seventy's launched the women's

a rally he only praised the justice ginsburg. days you know i mean. what else can you say she was an amazing moment. in time she was an amazing woman. an amazing who lived. near there. and 2016 justice antonin scalia a republican choice passed before the presidential election the senate refused to confirm a democrat successor named by president obama democratic candidate this time of joe biden says there must be no decision until the election has passed voters should pick the president and the president should pick the justice for the senate to consider. this was the position of the republican senate took in 2060. or almost 10 months to go before the election. that's the position the state senate

must take today the republican leader in the senate mitch mcconnell says he will press ahead with nomination hearings if given a name by donald trump that is almost certainly going to happen now he might not be able to get confirmation hearings done by the election in november but could possibly push them through by the inauguration in january and if joe biden wins the election that could create a constitutional crisis here in the united states ginsburg strive to maintain strong liberal voices on the supreme court to balance the conservative ones that her own voice has been silenced that balance under threat alan fischer al-jazeera outside the u.s. supreme court. tributes are coming in across the political divide chief justice john roberts announced ginsburg death in a statement he said that the us has lost a justice of historic stature and that the supreme court judges have lost a cherished colleague he went on to say that he's confident future generations will remember ginsburg as a tireless and resolute champion of justice. former u.s.

secretary of state hillary clinton whose husband appointed ginsburg to the supreme court praised her work and said that there will never be another like. of former u.s. president george w. bush on at the 87 year old saying that she dedicated much of her life to the pursuit of justice and equality and she inspired a generation of generations of women and girls in the makeup of the supreme court could now take a sharp turn to the political right that's because president trump will likely try to put a conservative successor in place even if he doesn't win november's election the court is made up of 9 members that up to now has been split 54 in the conservatives favor chief justice john roberts was appointed by a republican president but recently has acted as a swing vote this year that's helped to secure narrow victories for the liberals on issues such as immigration abortion rights appointing another conservative would

tip the balance further right ahead of upcoming cases on same sex adoptions and health care president trump has already named around 40 candidates to fill a supreme court vacancy scott lucas is co-founder of america unfiltered a news analysis site focusing on u.s. politics and foreign policy he joins us now from birmingham in the u.k. scott your thoughts on the the death of justice ruth bader ginsburg and what it means for the supreme court and for the country. you know 1st and foremost that tribute to ruth bader ginsburg is like to say that legacy upholding and defending rights and justice. as an attorney as a judge and then as a justice not just on women's rights although that surprised but on widely civil rights rights in the workplace rights in education rights for the impoverished

the question is what happens to the lightest city in many ways we have seen this summer in the united states with anti-racism marches those issues of rights and justice that she's highlighted but what we'll see in the next few weeks is the attempt especially by the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell hypocritically given that he stood 4 years ago for almost a year and blocked an appointment like barack obama to the court will say we want to rush this nomination through and we know that not that donald trump will try to go for someone 1st and foremost as he sees not only as a diehard conservative but someone that will defend him in the white house can they get that justice through by november the 3rd because it's not just the prospect of these important cases that you highlighted on abortion on adoption rights on donald trump's attempt to gut obamacare if we have a disputed election with donald trump refusing to leave office that case may

eventually reach the supreme court now will there be an additional conservative judge that will defend trump even if he refuses to accept a defeat to joe biden on the road as you say if mitch mcconnell and the republicans try to bulldoze abyss and you know meditation through the senate before the election that would be pretty hypocritical will that damage the republican standing ahead of the election. it's a gamble to be honest with you i don't even if mcconnell cares mitch mcconnell doesn't believe in consistency i think he's gambling that there will be enough amount of appeal to red meat republicans that this can galvanize them to go to the polls on november 3rd not just for the white house but in that battle to reelect senators because right now republican control is on a knife edge but you're quite right it could backfire in 2 ways one is it could alienate us what about ours who see the hypocrisy who have not yet decided if they

want to vote for donald trump or joe biden or democrat or republican in the summit but secondly and specifically there are several republican senators who are facing very difficult reelection battles susan collins of maine for example is one you're looking at lindsey graham of south carolina who's the chair of the senate judiciary committee now will they support mcconnell's effort to get a justice through by november the 3rd or given the effect on their personal chances will they hold back and thus prevent mcconnell's political gain a trying to get the hearings and confirmation within the next 6 weeks and what about president trump's nominees for the any vacancy on the on the supreme court he's already approved a number of candidates just how conservative are they what difference would a concert another conservative judge on the supreme court make to its behavior. they're conservative very very conservative and really really conservative there's

a couple of headline names there like senator ted cruz senator tom cotton i don't think that's what you're going to get you're going to get a judge from the lower ranks of the federal system and it's not a guarantee it's not a guarantee that a trip appointee will always be be conservative we've seen his 1st conservative neal gorsuch vote with the moderates on certain issues but i think on this occasion doll trial will go for someone who's a real fire breather someone who will go in and try to shrug for example health care rights there are obamacare that will try to possibly shred economic rights environmental protections and possibly go for supreme court justice and this will be a big election issue who will try to help overturn roe versus wade which was the key decision almost 50 years ago that guaranteed abortion rights for women always good to talk to scott many thanks indeed professor scott lucas that in birmingham and cuter well this is all having implications for the u.s.

demonstrations across the country and trump's call for law and order when the far left riders rampage across minneapolis and they rampage across just stayed how about your police department let's just run for your lives at the south their fault they were told to do you have a good police to pop and you have good police but they're not allowed to do their job the campaign stops on friday showcase the 2 men's views on the pandemic biden's cautious crowd was socially distance massed and sparse while trump supporters were largely masculist close and crowded trump has given up and even for tended to do is jump almost 200000 lives lost in the last 6 months. polls show biden ahead here as they showed hillary clinton ahead in 2016 but trump is confidently telling voters to ignore the polls in cast their ballots for him this time in minnesota is well john hendren al-jazeera minneapolis minnesota this

is the news are from his era still to come on the program. protests in peru against the president but opposition politicians failed to win enough votes to impeach him plus. i'm chinese on the river in southwest england animal hunted to extinction 400 years ago is making a comeback attracting tourists and helping to reduce flooding. and it sport n.b.a. superstar le bron james isn't happy about a rare 2nd placed finish far will be able to ask and it relates to. tens of thousands of thais are rallying against the government in the capital bangkok and hundreds forced their way onto a university campus earlier in the day. in the latest of the latest demos and months of demands by the student movement for new elections

a written constitution and reforms to the monarchy let's go live now to bangkok 00 sway they is so wayne what are we expecting to happen with all of this today. well what i can tell you 1st is that the crowd is very large probably the largest political gathering that we've seen since the military coup in 2014 and this movement really started out as a student lives movement and the students still very much at the core of this as you mentioned this protest began on the campus of thomas university in bangkok but as this protest movement has gained strength over recent months it is growing a lot more diverse and i think this crowd we are seeing here on saturday is the most diverse that we've seen in recent months and the reason for that is i think that the demands for political reform to an extent the reform of the royal family the monarchy has really resonated across many different sectors of thai society in

many different parts of the country as well so we've seen people come into bangkok from outside the city for this protest but it also is another important anniversary september the 19th marks the anniversary of a significant date entire history of 2006 military coup that removed a democratically elected government yet again from office that government led by former prime minister taksin shinawatra who continues to live in exile but his popularity in thailand really hasn't waned despite the fact that he has been living in exile so we're seeing. signs in that diversity of many of his support is coming out to join this protest today the protest has moved largely from thomas at university across the road to another significant venue some nominal wind which is a park across the road from the university also across the road from the grand palace in recent years it's been largely such a shut off. to the public it's been cordoned off but the protest leaders said they

wanted to retake that for the people and that's exactly what the done that done the police are saying that they have to vacate that area but again there's no sign they're going to do that and no sign yet of any sort of crackdown from the security forces. is there on that note any sign that the government's patience is beginning to wear thin. well i think they're growing increasingly concerned they started out really playing a game of just wait and see really wait and see where this protest movement would head as i say it was just a student movement and i think at that stage they could handle it but now it's grown way beyond the student protest movement i think the concern has grown with that we've seen in recent weeks the rhetoric from the prime minister who led that coup in 2014 becoming a lot more aggressive he said that if the protests continue along this line they will continue to create more divisions in thai society and ultimately the country will end up indulged in flames is how he put it and he's also as

a last ditch attempt maybe on thursday night gave a televised address in which he played the coronavirus card warning that if the protesters came out in big numbers on saturday then they would risk a 2nd wave of the pandemic coming to this country and further damage to the economy i was there as wait a reporting live from bangkok thanks to do. for a 2nd day taiwan says that it scrambled jets in response to an approach made by chinese aircraft taiwan's defense ministry says the aircraft crossed the mid line of the taiwan straits and air defense missile system has been deployed the military tension coincides with a visit by a senior u.s. official to taiwan. a growing number of corona virus cases among refugees on the greek island of last boss is causing concern at least 214 infections have been confirmed thousands of refugees are being

moved into a new camp after the previous one europe's largest burn down 10 days ago serious stuff they decca reports. it's a crush of broken hopes this suffocating heat not making their wait any easier on the 2nd day of a greek police operation to move refugees into the new camp on the island of lesbos we saw them rounding up hundreds of people in various areas making them wait before joining the long queues and. the situation is bad we are unfortunately affected by problems created by others for example the afghans they do awful things who were put in the same basket there's no justice now the police came to our tents and kick us out what can we do as the day went on this road once packed with refugees and migrants almost empty some try to argue that there is no point. the last few finally making their way to the new camp they prefer to sleep on the

streets rather than move into the new facility aid agencies are concerned if there's problems with the conditions. especially today what a camp is not ready for the people of the 10012000 day going to be taken to it what is it for are we talking about 2nd morea with the people piling up the terrible conditions or talking about a reception camp for transit of the population on their way to other places but we're extremely worried that in fact it's just a containment policy that's going to be maintained that is just going to keep people there for months on that or even years and in conditions that are going to be productive worsening more usually this would be an ideal location nestled on the shores of a greek island but these tents are a symbol of broken policies of delayed bureaucracy as well as broken spirits and lives on hold and stephanie joins us now live from les paul stephanie

with corona virus cases on the rise among refugees that just how concerned are people for their safety. i think people 1st and foremost a lot of people actually didn't believe about the coronavirus that we spoke to were trying to convince and that it was a legitimate concern and not just an excuse to lock them up in the camp they were more concerned about actually moving to this camel just about a shot to give you an idea of the scale of it most of the people around 1000 people are now in this facility you can see it's a very windy day it's a camp that's very much open to the elements so this is this is also a concern certainly when winter comes but at the moment most of them do that police operation have now entered the camp of the authorities have said that this is the only way that you know this can be organized at their safety can be provided for and particularly that their paperwork and asylum processes will be resumed now as of this morning we checked with the the authorities here and we did see refugees

and migrants walking along the road outside the camp one of the main supermarkets here we're told that they can actually leave the camp this was a major concern whether they'd be locked up or not be able to leave to go to the supermarket until 8 pm and come back i think it remains a very fluid situation age and we're going to have to wait and see how the next few days pan out and also i think importantly to see how this camp copes with so many people as you were hearing in our report there people are concerned about you know the towards the cities we've seen pictures where it already looks pretty pretty dire there so it's a new camp is it is it ready is it a complete is it ready to take so many people. well this if you heard from the greek head of m.s.f. doctors without borders yesterday he was concerned that it wasn't ready and we've been watching construction vehicles come and go you can probably see them working so we live it too far to catch on camera but it's still being expanded yesterday

only 2 big containers of water arrived i've been in touch with some of the refugees who've entered the camp that we met beforehand who say that you know an atrocity is an issue water is an issue the toilets dirty i think it's going to take some time to get up and running properly yes there are various n.g.o.s in there as well helping to get dorothy's but such a large influx adrian i think at a time when they wanted basically it was a lot of pressure also from the local population because you had thousands of refugees and migrants sleeping on the streets cutting really an archery of the main road that runs across the island and they'd already been there for around 10 days so it was a race against time to create what's called this is an emergency cap however that's the question you heard there as well the question of how long are they going to stay here is this a temporary transit camp in which case some of the ngos we've been speaking to will say ok it can be improved but ok but if this is going to be a long term facility like moria where people have been waiting for over

a year for their paperwork to be processed this is going to be an issue in fact some people telling us that they believe this is going to be even worse the more it because there is no shade as you can see it's. white caps today it's gusting over 25 knots a.j. and when the winter when the rain comes i think this is going to be very difficult to see how in the long term when you've got everything is new at this point in time so those are questions that are being awesome i think certainly in the immediate future going to have to wait to see how this cap deals with people and how it's going to be run in the next couple of. hours serious stuff the reporting live from us possible effects and stuff there. sudan's government is being urged to prevent more damage and loss of life from flooding half a 1000000 people have been forced from their homes and more than 100 have died people living close to the river nile say that authorities must monitor river levels more closely and they're calling on the government to address the poor planning of buildings and roads in flood prone areas let's go live out

a car to mount a serious hit morgan is there for us and he signed that the government is going to heed these calls about. well adrian what the government has done is that it has created a committee to look into the houses that have been damaged along the miles but more importantly the infrastructure that have been set up along the nile they say that the planning was poor that's something they admit but they also say that they need help from international donors an international committee to try to help them international community to help them try to respond to the current floods emergencies now this of course is the worst floods it's been seen in more than a century and the water levels of the not river is receding. and in the north and in the southern part of the country in the northern part of the country especially a river now state however the story is still very much the same the state is still witnessing devastation from the floods the level is still very high and that's because there is another river that is contributing to the nile that also comes from the fear that high lands that's the odd but

a river and because of heavy rains on the if you can high lands more water has been flowing down that river downstream to the nile so people there still remain displaced still suffering from the devastating effects of this never before never seen before floods the number of those who've been displaced has risen to 650000 over the past week and the government is warning that there will be more floods as more rains are expected on the few in highland so people are saying that they're concerned because they're already seeing rises in the number of of cases of water borne diseases they saying that the reporting watery diarrhea they're reporting but they're worried about what would happen when the water goes down and the water inside the villages and towns remain stagnant that's when they're going to see cases of malaria coming up and they say that they are already suffering from the losses of their homes of their properties in a country that is going through a very harsh economic crisis where the currency of the sudanese pound continues to devalue so they're saying that even affording treatment if this crisis continues will be very hard for them so they urging the government to respond the government

so far response has responded to less than half of those affected about $200000.00 people have received aid most people. all who are currently being helped or assisted are done with help from volunteers who have taken on the task of trying to help those affected so they're saying those affected are saying that they want to see more response from the government they don't want to see people just meeting in rooms and coming out with statements saying that they are going to work improve the situation they actually want to see improvement on the ground and that's something to haven't been seeing over the past month or serious hipper morgan reporting live from khartoum hear that many thanks indeed let's get some weather meteorologist ever some folks is here were a bit storm tested everton told me earlier is that a mature logical term well it should be here really should be i do this not quite amazed logical term but i think it makes the point beautifully something of a storm fest going on at present you can see on the satellite picture going to start in year because we had a couple of unusual features here this massive cloud just has made its way across

northern portugal pushing across northwestern spain and that is what was stopped tropical storm alpha or into the greek alphabet on this until kind of grace make our way over towards towards grace here where we have in fact same medicare that we were talking about for the last couple of days really nasty system this was which brewed up and it's been affecting that western side of greece in particular in the tough alona we will we saw winds of around 110 kilometers per hour at times a significantly damaging wind sent and we've had as much as 150 millimeters of rainfall in places so to see the awful conditions that we do have here thankfully that system will weaken as we go through the remainder of sad state going on into sunday it pushes down towards greece and will gradually to create a will gradually fizzle out asked for around for that's going to die out as it makes its way across the far south of france and gradually ease over a little further eastwards talking still testing talking of the the storm 1st that we have here at the moment well you can see. 4 storms there brewing away in the

atlantic 10 is the one to watch that's going to make its way up towards that eastern side of the mirror pushing further north was today and then waiting in the winds we have beta making its way towards mexico ever to many thanks indeed. still to come here on the news out anger in the u.k. as the government struggles to meet demand for corona virus testing beatings a long delay is. sold loped in all what are you cutting into the cloth not quite on track we look at the progress being made on key un goals that are aimed at making people's lives better. and in sport after 6 months away rafael nadal looks to be enjoying his return to competitive action. rewind returns. with updates on the best of out his english

documentaries. just to remind continues we can comfortably numb this last sentence yellow and this is the section where they're holding prisoners on one charge their own users and dealers here is 120 of them in 3 different sounds on al-jazeera. global pandemic. family comes 1st. for every american health care has never been more important. because the new disease does not favor republicans over democrats bridge over poor or black over white. america decides how to care for a nation. extensive coverage of the us elections. on al-jazeera.

it's great. have you with us hello adrian said again here in doha but the news are from al-jazeera the headlines tens of thousands of thais are rallying against the government of the capital bangkok it's the latest in months of demands by the student led movement for new elections a written constitution and reforms to the monarchy. the u.s. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg has died at the age of 87 she had pancreatic cancer tributes been coming in from across the political divide meanwhile senator senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says the votes will soon be held on president trump's choice to replace skins bug democratic nominee joe biden is insisting that decision should be made by the winner of november's

election. or the death of the supreme court judge ruth bader ginsburg. melanie sloan is a former us federal prosecutor and an attorney and says that ken's book death gives birth ginsburg's death i'm sorry could trigger a radical change. it is impossible to overstate the implications of ruth bader ginsburg's death right now given what happened to the last appointee when in barack obama's turn america are lightened and how the republicans refused to confirm him saying it was too close that it was a year before the election democrats will not stand still while trump inevitably nominate someone and mitch mcconnell says he will try to confirm them i think we're talking about the potential for riots in american streets this it's impossible to overstate. how serious they are ginsburg's death will be

a call to arms this will be on both sides democrats and republicans because the supreme court is so important should somebody be confirmed for her seat should mr trump be able to confirm somebody i think and then biden wins the presidency and the senate is lost by republicans and democrats take over and you will see an effort to expand the supreme court which will inevitably happen and you'll see democrats try to pack the court in the next term so we're talking about a massive upheaval in american life with brute ruth bader ginsburg's death today. peru's president has survived an impeachment vote in congress. denied corruption and fairing in an investigation into government contracts awarded to a friend sanchez reports now from the mail. they voted against their own intentions one week after a majority of lawmakers decided to impeach president for moral incapacity many

voted against unseating him legislators said it was for the benefit of the country but during the impeachment proceedings many had accused the scot of interfering in an investigation into a government contract awarded to a friend and the president denied any wrongdoing. while we here what's the basis that motivates this congress to impeach me which is the justified cause that until now can't be proven let me and my man but many lawmakers who voted to impeach the scatter didn't give him the benefit of the doubt yet not only that all politicians must be ethical and we must demand good behavior that's why we must penalize the behaviors that go against the dignity appropriate for the most important job in the country. there were many different opinions throughout the proceedings some lawmakers condemned the president others said he was morally unfit to govern but the consensus was that he must be investigated but the law protects

presidents from prosecution until the end of their term recommissioning. i will not accept the accusations against me they are biased i ask what is the crime i'm not saying things shouldn't be investigated on the contrary i'm the 1st to be interested that the truth is known. since he took over the presidency met these cover confronted political enemies 7 cabinets ousted more than 60 ministers resigned he deserved congress last year despite surviving the impeached. and the 57 year old leader has only a few allies in the legislature with little support he must rely on popular support from peruvians and with 10 months to go until his term ends 79 percent said he should stay in the us i'm just i'm just lemur. brooking's government is facing increasing criticism for the lack of testing available to people with covert 19

symptoms many say they're being forced to wait for days because the system can't cope with demand for the 2nd wave of the virus fear the government is considering new restrictions on her life not a london i was there a song you're going to go is outside a testing facility just how busy is it rather. well age and we have seen a steady flow of vehicles coming into this testing site it's it's not maybe having any sort of tailbacks as there's been seen at other places but sure enough there has been a flow of those pre-booked appointments coming in for the testing and the problem is the fact that while there is a capacity of some 375000 places for testing. the question is how to process those tests and that is the crucial thing really we are outside a particular mobile testing units which will only be here for today and then will

go to another place where it's needed but it's really the burra trees which operate which are processing these tests which are having to sort of slow down how many tests can take place each day and this is a fault in the system that some scientists say that really hadn't been considered while there had been sort of a mentor when you mental efforts to try and keep up with the government promises to you know to the testing each day in actual fact the labs can only process so much until they actually have more testing processing units they won't be able to keep up with that and this is of course a serious issue as we have seen the rates of coronavirus infections climbing doubling in just a week and particularly here in london where it's fear that a 2nd wave of the pandemic will cause economic hardship. again it's something that be prime minister is very keen to avoid he said going into was

a 2nd national lockdown would be disastrous for the country but he's going to have to consider exactly what he's going to do to try and stem and cope that rate of infections which is indeed what he will be doing at downing street this weekend whether that involves local lock downs. so lock downs on the also on hospitality areas such as pubs and restaurants and also where the households will be limited as well as to the mingling those are all things that he's going to have to consider as they try and get ahead of this 2nd wave of the virus how does this sort of gago reporting live there from london sania many thanks indonesia is reporting a record daily increase in new coronavirus cases more than 4000 new infections were recorded over the last day internees here has the highest number of fatalities linked to covert 19 in southeast asia 9 and a half 1000 in russia new coronavirus infections have risen above 6000 today for

the 1st time in 2 months russian government says that it's boosting production of the big 5 vaccine russia has reported more than 1000000 infections guatemala's president has tested positive for covert 1964 year old other hand joe mateo is urging his entire cabinet to get tested he's the 4th latin american leader to contracts the coronavirus u.s. marines have been called in to help fight wildfires in california dozens of been trained to help emergency crews that are being stretched to the limit by unprecedented fires along the west coast at least 25 wildfires are being forced in california alone and in oregon and washington states at least 35 people have died huge areas of land of been destroyed americans won't be able to download the chinese based social media apps to talk and we chat from sunday night president
