cases tops 30000000 many countries are considering reinstating lockdown measures in the face of a 2nd wave. cramming into a camp thousands of refugees are relocated on the greek island of their boss but there are new fears for their health and safety. side of science with the latest sports including patch agreed as a halfway leader called serious open as he looks to win a 2nd major title. she was a pillar of the fight for women's rights and to powerful liberal voice in the u.s. supreme court files and worldwide on social media paying tribute to justice ruth bader ginsburg and hundreds are at a vigil at the supreme court house in washington d.c. to leave flowers and tributes while her legacy is recognized to many americans are anxious. well what comes next with just 6 weeks to go before the presidential

election republican date is want to fill her vacant seat with a conservative replacement let's go live to ellen fisher who is outside the supreme court so allan democrats obviously want to wait until after the election to appoint a replacement to the republicans ok to push this all through how then is this all going to plan. well you've got to go back to 2016 and at that point we were 10 months away from the election just this by the name of antonin scalia had been put in place by a republican president died mitch mcconnell who is the leader of the senate at that point a republican said there's absolutely no way that they were going to hold a vote in an election year that that would be wrong fast forward 4 years here brooke bigger ginsburg dying just 6 weeks before the election mitch mcconnell who is again the republican leader of the senate saying that he is going to push ahead if the president gives a name and just in the last hour donald trump has tweeted saying that they have to move on this and they have to do it quickly that creates the possibility of some

sort of constitutional crisis here in the u.s. and this is why 1st of all there is the possibility that mitch mcconnell might be able to get a vote through the judiciary committee in the senate 1st of all and then on the floor of the house the sort of the senate that the republicans have a majority of the be able to push through a suitable nominee when he can do that that's the question can he do it before the election that seems unlikely but it is possible if he doesn't manage to do that for the election he could possibly do it before the inauguration january the 20th and of joe biden wednesday that is when you create a constitutional crisis because joe biden more than walk into a supreme court remember 9 members on the supreme court 6 will be appointed by republicans 3 by democrats how do you address that balance well if the opinion polls are right and the democrats are vote to win the senate you change the rules and you make the supreme court a much bigger body you pack the court you're going to get a lot of that over. in the next couple of weeks so that is why there is the

potential for a constitutional crisis here in the united states and i'll just remind our internet international viewers if you would of why the balance of power in the u.s. supreme court is so important what's at stake. so often you get a laws that are passed and the end up in the supreme court to decide whether or not the constitutional prime example of that the affordable care act that was known as obamacare it went to the supreme court a number of times and survived a number of republican challenges let me give you another example when it came to marriage equality they allowed to gay people to marry here in the united states that was approved by the supreme court even though there were many in the house in the senate who objected to that there's also a difficulty here as well because at the moment the court is balance for 4 if the election is contested if there is a real big problem with the election in november it will inevitably end up in the

supreme court remember what happened in 2000 and so they're saying you can't have a balanced court because you won't get an answer or leave him america in limbo the has to be a majority on one side or the other here's the other thing to consider as well if donald trump loses the election there is the real possibility that he will face some sort of criminal action for some of the things that he's done in office where will that end up and never to go through the court process but end up here in the supreme court and you could have a 9 member supreme court where 3 of those justices have been appointed by donald trump that is why the supreme court is so important here in the united states so is a lot at stake thank you for that alan fischer live for us in washington d.c. . republicans and democrats are now fighting a battle on 2 fronts the presidential election and the naming of a new supreme court justice which could have consequences as ellen mentioned for decades to come that's why republicans want to proceed immediately with the nomination while democrats say it must wait until after the new president takes

office supreme court judges have been appointed in past election years but never so close to the vote in 2016 republicans refuse to even hold confirmation hearings for obama nominee merrick government reacting to ruth bader ginsburg's day obama said republicans invented the principle that an open seat should be few filled before a new president is sworn in and that will must now be fairly applied or for more on this it's bring in joe civ he is a professor at texas a and m. university's doha campus where he specializes in the u.s. supreme court thank you for your time how do you foresee this playing out will the republicans listen to this reasoning that the principle bay created about appointing a replacement waiting until after an election must be fairly applied. well the leadership of the republican party of the last 4 years or any got to be as aggressive as possible and using the product it was of their office to move forward

with a nomination from the white house and confirmation from the senate but of course not all republicans are in the same political circumstances and not all of them are equally on board with the president and his agenda so i think the large majority of republicans will be eager to fill the seat and hold a confirmation hearing with a vote but it would take only a small number of defections of republicans who are in a facing difficult reelections or have principled objections to ignoring the rule that they are core so recently in 2016 and that might derail a quick response to justice ginsburg asking what can the democrats actually do what options do they have. very little by the there's not a democrat in the white house they don't hold the majority in the senate so aside from your campaigning on the issue both in the presidential election and in the senatorial campaign that are ongoing and trying to use public pressure to peel off

the little republican voters in the senate there's very little they can do the question becomes if the president is successful in building the seat and if you lose the election what will the democrats do and in the next term to try to undermine trumps your midnight judges the senate is of course republican controlled that republican senators who might be under pressure to wait until after the election. for sure there are a number of republican senators and they like arizona in iowa or in very competitive races where in an effort to hear more even handed and to appeal to moderate voters. those candidates the real action might not be eager to jump into the middle of a contentious supreme court nomination by and therefore be willing to to. work with democrats to postpone the nomination for the election there are also republican

senators mitt romney brings to not mind people who have the voice concerns about the president and his handling of a variety of important issues and who have spoken up in favor of the institution in american national government who might be persuaded to oppose a quick nomination process for the sake of preserving the public confidence and the judiciary what do you think this might do to the elections and terms of how low his might respond both if an appointee is rushed through or if it's you know if they decide to wake up and if it turns out that they do indeed wait until after the elections how do you think the voters might respond. you know it's this is an unusual period in american in american history i think we're at a deeply polarized moment i think most people who will actually show up and vote in the election have made up their minds i think for the reminder about the stakes of

the presidential election for the supreme court and what a pivotal action the next supreme court nomination and confirmation will be will increase the intensity of people's feelings but i'm not sure that it will move the needle very much in terms of whether people support joe biden or donald trump and especially now this close to the election again i think most people who will actually show up and be voters that in the 2025 can have made up their mind and so this may be but make them your like their vote is more meaningful or more important but i'm not sure it's actually going to convince anybody to do something differently than they were going to yesterday ok we'll have to leave it there for time thanks for that professor joseph you're a. female protest as a bell or as the back on the streets following last weekend's mass arrests and security forces have again been in action making further arrests in the capital minsk protest as aren't backing down in their demands for the resignation of president alexander lukashenko following his reelection last month which many say

was rigged let's go live update now from step basant who is in minsk step just bring us up to speed what's been happening. well in the last hour around $200.00 women have been detained after this a peaceful rally of around a 1000 women that was going around the city center it's the weekly a women's march that has been happening since the election results came out and look at claims 80 percent of an election victory a lot of people of course went then to the streets and have been crossed protesting ever since women have been always at the forefront of these protests the 3 opposition leaders were also women 2 of them have been forced to leave the country one is detained saudis women have kept up these protests even though there were massive tensions also on last saturday this saturday again tens of mass policemen

came with tons of for detention vehicles they picked them all up there was a lot of emotion aggression as well some women were screaming some were for it were crying there was also an ambulance because one of them was in shock and she was in a very bad physical state they're now all have been taken to a police. 'd stations and they will also go to these these detention centers around the city where they normally will have to spend a couple of nights since the election on believe it was august the 9th and the protests that followed when i heard so many stories of beijing's torture there has been increasing pressure and scrutiny from the international community on president alexander lukashenko but nothing seems to be deterring him from from responding in this way. no exactly especially this last week a lot of reports have come out and now the international community is putting a lot more pressure on lookers shanker than in the last couple of weeks so he's

really responding to this one of these responses that important human rights they found there was detained also yesterday and now also this repression against women has completely been stepped up because women always had a sort of for immunity they thought that these policemen were not going to beat them as much as men and they wouldn't be as aggressive as against men but that definitely has changed showed a strategy now that seems to be coming from look at the regime is to basically treat everyone as violently as possible making sure that people are so scared and intimidated that they will stop these protests but the opposite is happening and the more they are being detained the more determined they seem to be becoming to actually go back to the streets. ok thank you for that steadfast ally for us in minsk

alexina vali is walking again after emerging from a coma a few days ago the russian opposition leader says his recovery is going well but it will take a long time he's being treated in germany his doctors say he was poisoned with the russian nerve agent navi chalk last month the kremlin denies involvement. but more ahead on news all including. tens of thousands of people rally against the government in thailand as moments of political protests grow louder. protests on the streets of peru against the president this while opposition politicians failed to win enough boats to impeach him. and his course to n.b.a. superstar le bron james is no happy about a rare 2nd place finish. to

the coronavirus now which has infected close to 31000000 people worldwide and killed almost 1000000 so far a 2nd wave of infections is feared in many countries the united states continues to be the worst affected with close to 7000000 infections and nearly 200000 deaths indias added more than 93000 new cases to its total of more than 5000000 germany has recorded its higher stately number of new infections since april and parts of spain's capital madrid gehring up for restrictions affecting 850000 spaniards britain's prime minister brown johnson says a 2nd wave of infections is being seen he says new restrictions might be necessary but he doesn't want a nationwide lockdown. well for more on the united kingdom's back and forth let's go live now to sunny gago who is in london for us tonja tell us more about these new restrictions that are being considered for the u.k. . you also have to consider that at the moment

there are several local lockdowns in the united kingdom ranging from the northeast of england around the city of new castle as well as all the areas in metropolitan areas around the cities a bunch of stone liverpool saps the south last go as well and around the city of glasgow that there are local lock downs as well as in wales as well but what is being considered by some people is whether the question of another national lockdown to be put into place now this is a consideration that is for the time being not being over as a proposition by the prime minister boris johnson well aware he is the fact of the economic repercussions that it would take but moving forward perhaps it is more a case of having local lock downs around the worst affected areas that would best be implemented but certainly he is being by scientists within his own

scientific advice group to take action as quickly as possible has already been a doubling of the rates of infection in the past week in the u.k. so swift action is certainly something that has to be considered it if they are to get ahead of the curve on this 2nd wave. ok sonia and i believe there's been some issues around testing in the u.k. tell us about that. with the u.k. setting at the start of the pandemic it was what he criticised for not having sufficient testing put into place and got on top of that and was the top have the top rates for testing in europe but the problem is not how testing should it's really how testing should take place and the fact is that while the testing could take place the trees to process those tests were simply not enough to be able

to cope with them though they're at capacity right now and of course with families returning and people returning from holidays and children starting school there has been an uptick in demond of course with that people have been coming down with colds and perhaps the symptoms of which can be similar to coronavirus symptoms but the labs are the ones which are likely behind and this is a problem which the government has had to deal with not least also as well for its track and trace probe the program as well the lack of which has contributed to this in the you case ability to be able to clamp down on new and rising cases so quite a lot of holes really that system of course momentous actions have been taken place to try and put a system in place but really track and trace and putting new laboratories in place to be able to process those tests are really going to be the key to try and get a flawless tracing and testing system in place ok thank you for that when you go go

live for us in london. well on the other all john joins me now from butler pennsylvania in the united states he is a senior scholar at the johns hopkins university center for health security thank you for your time. so has it been saying coronavirus numbers are rising lock down seem to be reimposed different parts of the world's different countries different regions are we back to square one with the virus what's going on here i wouldn't say that we're back at square one because we know a lot more in september of 2020 about this virus than we do even in march or april of 2020 we have a new tools we do know how to diagnose this we have treatments we understand what activities foster the spread of this virus and which ones don't so we can be much more targeted with their public health interventions that being said we do have a virus that spreads very efficiently so we're always going to have to be vigilant we're always going to have to seize our bag of cases going up in cases going down trying to titrate our public health interventions to keep them to

a level that's manageable by hospitals and up to par as this is going to be the reality until we have a vaccine we should all just get used to this you know governments imposing their show as the numbers go down we get a little bit more freedom and then the numbers go back up and we start the cycle again is that just how it's going to be in many parts of the role it is going to be down wait it may be that way you know with a vaccine because a 1st generation baxi may not produce what's called sterilizing immunity it may just prevent you from having severe disease so we may still be doing this for some time the key question is though if you can test people if people have the ability to know their status maybe if they were home test so people can know before they go out we wouldn't have to do this as much because then we wouldn't have so many chains of transmission instead testing tracing and isolating that we need to do in many countries still do not have the capacity to do so talking about that scenes many different countries different leaders of different countries saying different things when do you realistically think a vaccine will be widely available and how long do you foresee it taking to roll it

out. why develop it will be to the general public and not just health care workers likely deep into 2021 this is going to be a very daunting global effort to get the vaccine into the arms of the world citizens and that's going to be something very hard we know for example that we still have problems getting measles vaccination into children all around the world so this is something that's not going to be easy easy and it's going to take a period i think for the world probably over 2 years maybe in the developed developed countries like the united states united kingdom canada maybe a minute 2021 we can see a lot of access there but it is going to be something that we're going to have to wait for the entire world to be vaccinated against to remove this virus as a threat that it is today and some painful i have expressed concern about the speed with which vaccines are being developed do you think trust will be affected when it comes to actually rolling out these acts i do think it's going to be difficult

we've seen politicization of this operate from the very beginning and especially in the united states we've seen some of the approval processes for example for hydroxy chloroquine or convalescent plasma be subject to political meddling and that's going to decrease trust in a vaccine because the vaccine is going to come out with an emergency use in whatever country it is because we're not going to have long term safety data so we want to make sure that we can be transparent in top to the public about what the risks and benefits of this vaccine are and they have to have confidence that they are hearing the truth about this and that they're not being put at risk we know that there is an anti maxine movement that is going to pounce upon this vaccine even before it's available in trying to undermine its downside we know for example during h one n one that in the united states even with the flu vaccine and everybody knew only 23 percent of people got the pandemic vaccine that's very low and we have we cannot tolerate that because a vaccine it doesn't get into people's our arms is a useless vaccine they. are saying scholar at the johns hopkins university center for health security we appreciate your time. thank you quite

a growing number of coronavirus cases among refugees in the greek islands of list since schools in concern at least 214 fictions are confirmed as 9000 refugees have been moved into a new camp off to the previous one europe's largest budget dome 10 days ago stephanie deca joins me now live from. stephanie so what is this new camp like is it ready to take on all of these people i think ready is probably not quite the term it's still being built the agencies are getting ready it is right behind us you can see it's incredibly windy day here this camp it's very much open to the elements from what we understand from people inside there's one meal a day i think it's a challenge to get everything up and running at the moment with the influx of thousands of people in a very short space of time there are neither 1000 people are in that right now one

of the positive things however is that people who are very worried about being stuck inside locked inside can actually leave we've been seeing them leave throughout the day going to a large supermarket down the road and being able to buy some supplies and go back but certainly if the moment the conditions inside from what we understand are certainly not great challenging and clearly more needs to be done to get things up and running smoothly i think there was pressure to get the refugees in the migrants off the streets into the camp but certainly i think you know there is still a long way to go until things are running smoothly and stay if we had you know a lot of people concerned that this new camp is going to be just like the last one over crowded unsuitable what is going to happen next. well most of these people when they leave the island so this was one of the questions of debate this is an emergency camp that's been set up in the face of time the message is that this is temporary that these people need to have their

paperwork process and got off the island whether they get are granted asylum or whether they're deported some people are concerned that this could be a permanent facility i think you can see we're standing here it's incredibly windy the camp is right on the water are open to the elements that is going to be a problem when it comes to winter if this becomes a permanent facility but land is an issue here as well so all these things are and also that the moment this is a short term solution to what is a long term problem came the european union is going to be discussing sort of you know every assessment of its migration issues however again you know whatever they decide in brussels how that's going to expedite the future of the people here i think is still a big question mark ok thank you for that stephanie decca there live from the great hall and of. for 2 months students have been peacefully protesting in thailand as they call for a change of government new elections and to a very sensitive topic want to keep and on sunday they held their largest protests

today thanks to a new well established pro-democracy movement it's going hard not reports from bangkok. with the grand palace as a backdrop and what's known as the royal field under their feet thousands of pro-democracy protesters gathered in bangkok. as they began to flow into the original venue at thomas sought university it became clear that those coming out were not just students anymore. but red shirts were arriving in strength joining the protesters calling for reform in the government and monarchy. the red shirts are a populist movement started by former prime minister taksin his sister yingluck was removed from office in a coup led by the current prime minister. a veteran of the red shirt movement citywalk. organized dance to bring supporters down from the north. and they've been kind of let this is the past time to the red shirts the now star support for the students and their demands because they have the same goal that we have always been

fighting for true democracy. early afternoon some of the protesters broke into sun on long or royal field just across from the university one since they began to set up for the main event the police were unable to stay their ground outnumbered by the flow of protesters with common pro-democracy goals the red shirts and the student protesters have come out together and for evidence that the student groups demands for reform in the government and monarchy have broad appeal. but now. come out it shows that they cannot take it anymore i don't think a matter when it comes to disc protests is about our rights everybody has to same rights to stand here because we've wasted 68 a crew and we have gained nothing despite the many different ages that came out from across thailand one message was clear made by the speakers and by those listening this is the beginning if the changes and reforms they call for are not

made they'll keep coming back out it's got harder al-jazeera bank are. still ahead on al-jazeera. as the world's largest wetland burns at an unprecedented rate brazil's president says his government should be congratulated plus. i'm china and china on the river delta in southwest england when animals hunted to extinction 400 years ago is making a comeback attracting tourists and helping to e.g. studying. and in sport well number 2 finds an easy way through to the sami finals and to tell you no then. we've got lots of high season shot across the middle east as per usual not a lot going on as you can see largely clear skies winds will pick up across the

say they're being forced to wait for days because the system cannot. cope with the . tens of thousands of people are rallying against the thai government in the capital bangkok they are the latest demonstrations in months of dumond's by the student led movement for new elections so reversing the constitution and reforms to the monarchy. iran's revolutionary guard is warning it will target anyone who was involved in the killing of their commander cause some sort of mahdi died in the u.s. air raid in iraq in january the iranian warning follows donald trump threatening action after reports of a rainy and plot to kill the u.s. ambassador to south africa a south african government says it has not seen any evidence of a murder plot the u.s. is preparing to break with almost every other member of the u.n. security council on sunday and reimposed sanctions on iran so how did we get here on 2015 a rough day of u.n.

sanctions on tehran were suspended following the signing of the iran nuclear deal but also included a so-called snapback holes which allowed sanctions to be reimposed if iran didn't keep its end of the deal the u.s. backed out of the agreement in 2018 and claims though to still be a participant for the purposes of triggering that snap back but before doing that the u.s. tried to push through an indefinite extension of an iranian arms ban scheduled to end on october the 18th that failed overwhelmingly during a security council vote last month days later the secretary of state my prepared notified the security council that the u.s. would be triggering the snapback france germany and the u.k. penned a letter refusing to support the move nearly all members on the council have since followed suit well let's bring in now there is a director of the center for middle east studies at the university of denver thank you for your time so. first off how do you see this playing out in iran what

impact will these reimposed u.s. sanctions really have on the ground. well i don't think the impact will be very significant iran has already been sanctioned to death. and the problem is that these sanctions are only recognized by the united states the united states is very isolated and most of the international community opposes this new attempt to impose new sanctions on iran so i think the impact will be minimal but as my next question how isolated is the u.s. and know all of this it does this add to its isolation. what's very isolated in fact the united states is becoming an international laughingstock primarily because it's trying to invoke the provisions of an agreement that it itself publicly withdrew from 2 years ago so on that level the united states has very little credibility and of course at the u.n. security council last month the united states tried to you know pass a resolution. calling for new and renewed u.n.

sanctions on iraq but of course they lost the vote. by a wide margin so i think you know this is. another reflection of the deep contempt that the united states has for international law but 3 weeks ago the united states even invoked sanctions against the international criminal court banning the chief prosecutor from coming to the united states so this is part and parcel of a you know longstanding u.s. policy under the trumpet ministration that rejects international law some of speculated that the u.s. but the trump administration is spoiling for a fight with tehran and then made up to the u.s. election on november the 3rd what do you think. i think that's exactly correct i mean what we're seeing right now is in that in the in the last few months a sort of a renewed attempt to escalate tensions with iran and increase pressure in iran so over the last several months you've seen the united states seize iranian. cargo

headed for venezuela on the high seas in contravention to international law you're also seeing the united states and israel stage a series of. and covert bombings of iranian military and nuclear installations and now you're seeing today at the united nations an attempt by the united states to justify its call free for new sanctions by invoking the u.n. security council and by trying to mobilize u.n. u.n. member states to support the united nations so this is part of it part and parcel of a concerted effort in the last remaining days of the trump administration to try and pressure iran and bring it to its knees and of course the you know the time is not on the side of the trump administration is 44 days left before the next american election and if joe biden becomes the next president then we will be in a very different political landscape we back to the obama years and

a very different approach to iran ok thank you for analysis neda director all they said to formally studies at the university of denver thank you. americans would be able to download the chinese by social media apps tiktaalik and we chat from sunday night president donald trump's batting that because of national security concerns a watch house correspondent could be help at reports from washington. a stir rebuke from the u.s. president we're not going to do anything to jeopardize security. the white house alleges the popular chinese based apps to talk and we chat are stealing american users' private information and handing it to the government in beijing on friday the u.s. commerce department announced we chat will be banned in the u.s. starting sunday well new restrictions on tic toc will also go into place a full ban on tick-tock could come into effect in november after weeks of bidding

tech giant oracle submitted a proposal to run the apps in the united states but before was approved the u.s. government moved ahead with the ban we have some. people who have the security that we need we have to have the total security for. us social media apps like facebook and instagram are banned in china but tick-tock officials say this decision could affect the entire industry there vallon to fight the new restrictions in the courts vanessa pompous tick tocks general manager in the us is inviting facebook and instagram to publicly join our challenge and support our litigation this is a moment to put aside our competition and focus on core principles like freedom of expression and due process of law we chat has more than $1200000000.00 active users but less than 2 percent are from the united states. the biggest impact could be

on u.s. companies like wal-mart starbucks nike and amazon they all use we chat e-commerce platform in china to conduct business this week's move is part of a bigger fight the trump administration continues to wage with beijing recent weeks the u.s. has taken multiple actions including rejecting chinese sovereignty over disputed parts of the south china sea blacklisting china's. largest tech company while way and cancelling the visas of thousands of chinese grad students and researchers in the united states one analyst argues the move by the trump administration could have unintended consequences one of the principles there in the cold war is we tried to get as much information in to communist countries as we could we dropped leaflets we asked the radio and now we're cutting off one of them made mechanisms we have are telling people about democracy in the rest of the world this latest

fight with china is a risky one for trump with just weeks until the u.s. election 20 percent of tik tok users will vote for the 1st time in november and trump's move is likely to be unpopular kimberly helped get al-jazeera washington. the governing party in ivory coast is holding an election campaign rally before next want general election tensions are running high after judges bought opposition leaders going and out on bond vote from running critics say the constitution forbids president unless some with tata are seeking a 3rd term in office he says he has no choice following the sudden death of his chosen successor july marie roger below is an africa affairs analyst and president of africa international media group she says without a has cited a few reasons for staying beyond his 2 term limit. one of these men which is a ship was 1st to maintain sort of a cohesion within his own pocket which would be we would probably explode under
