you can still have your was. a low i maryam namazie a watching the news hour live from london coming up the death of u.s. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg starts a fierce political battle just weeks before the presidential election. calls for sudan's government to do more to prevent future disasters as it tackles the worst flooding in a century. and tens of thousands of people rallied against the government in thailand as months of political protest grows louder. and i'm satisfied

as an out how all the sports franchise see united are off to a losing start in the english premier league the red devils beaten 31 by crystal palace adds old trafford. welcome to the program tributes are being paid to u.s. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg who has died at the age of $87.00 while many are remembering her legacy as a champion of women's rights a political fight is brewing now over what happens next republicans want to name her successor immediately with president donald trump tweeting that he'll do so without delay but democrat challenger joe biden says the next president should decide on and has our report. became tilly tributes to pay their respects to mark the passing of a woman few here knew but all respected

a loss they felt personally even if ruth bader ginsburg's decisions from the supreme court mean not to touch their lives she 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 broke told one television interviewer no law firms wanted to hire a married mother i had 3 strikes against me when i was jewish to our. 4 year old. that is the sixty's and seventy's launched the women's movement ginsburg found a place in academia then as co-founder of a women's rights project for the american civil liberties union she wrote the 1st supreme court brief on gender discrimination after 12 years as an appeals court

judge in washington d.c. president bill clinton appointed gives birth to the u.s. supreme court in 1993 ginsburg proved to be a consistent liberal voice on the increasingly conservative high court she supported abortion rights and gender equality she also advocated using international laws to shape us laws there spoke in ginsburg for several battles with cancer her dying wish was the vacancy her passing creates will not be filled until after the election. we started to gather at the court soon after her death was announced their numbers grew there were hundreds the. one time supporter with a megaphone arch the president to move quickly he was trained by the chants of others. the president has already unveiled a list of people he wants to put on the court if he wins a 2nd term. but leaving a rally he only praised the justice ginsburg. days your life. what else can you

say she was an amazing woman. she was an amazing woman. and 26 thieves justice antonin scalia a republican choice passed before the presidential election the senate refused to confirm but there were crowds successor named by president obama democratic candidate this time 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. there were almost 10 months to go before the election. that's the position the state senate must take today both tom says he's going to push ahead and make a nomination as quickly as possible he's backed by the leader of the republicans in

the senate mitch mcconnell mitch mcconnell might try and get confirmation before the election if he can't do that there's a possibility this process may drag all the way to inauguration in january here's the problem 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 the u.s. supreme court. a particle hanging is also following a story joins us live now from washington patty as i was saying people have been continuing to pay their respects to justice ginsburg tell us more about the reaction of course the plans from the republicans to place that seat. i think it's worth pointing out that ruth bader ginsburg really became a hero to women of all ages in this country when she then i think

a lot of that has to do with her time before she actually sat on the court she spent a lot of time arguing before the supreme court before she actually became a justice and some of her cases changed the lives of every single american woman alive today because at the time when she started fighting these cases women couldn't necessarily have the same jobs they could necessarily serve on juries get mortgages on their own get credit cards on their own unless they were married she really changed the legal dynamic just with the power of her brain and her words and she has been celebrated the subject of movies so that you're seeing this outpouring from women of all ages in this country really celebrating the life and what a difference her life made now again now that that's been said this is a very political topic as allan mentioned back in when obama was in office it was in march she put it merrick garland and the majority leader at the time senator mitch mcconnell said you can elect a justice in an election year as joe biden mention that was 10 months before the

election and we're now just a couple what 6 weeks before the election and so mitch mcconnell saying in those weeks he wants to try and push through a nominee couple problems with that there's a lot of tape here so senators like lindsey graham have been saying up until just a couple years ago look we've set the precedent if opening comes on the court in the presidential campaign is underway we can't possibly put someone up he's now tweeting out that he will support putting the justice in their place in that place because of how people treated brett kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings but now we're also seeing some republicans who are in a lot of trouble on the campaign trail like senator susan collins she's trailing her opponent she's come out and said no we cannot vote for a justice before the presidential election mitch mcconnell has a very short window and a very very tiny majority if he's going to get this done it's going to be a uphill battle and just put this into context for us and i see what's at stake here in terms of the way the supreme court affects the country socially and

politically. really i don't think you can actually even put into words what a seismic shift this will mean if you think about the last 2 justices who u.s. president trump replaced those are republicans they were appointed by past republican presidents so whoever trumped up it didn't really matter it was going to challenge change the balance of the court that is not the case here this would swing the court to reliably conservative that would have huge impacts on health insurance in the state in the united states a gender equality but the biggest issue is going to be abortion now if you look at poll after poll after poll for the last few decades it's republicans who say they vote based on what's going to happen with the supreme court because abortion is legal in this country so that is a huge issue for republicans but now with the death of ruth bader ginsburg it is quite possible that the u.s. supreme court could out rule could basically outlaw abortion so what you're seeing

now is democrats are hugely fired up in just the last 24 hours democratic organizations and candidates have raised tens of millions of dollars an unheard of amount so really what you're seeing is this is could be likely a key key issue in the upcoming presidential race all right thank you very much from washington call aine. so the make up of the supreme court has passed he was just mentioning that could now take a sharp turn to the political right the court is made up of 9 members and up to now has been split 54 in the conservatives favor chief justice john roberts was appointed by a republican president but as recently acted as a swing vote playing a role as the consensus builder they see if that helped secure narrow victories for the really brawls on issues like immigration and abortion rights appointing another conservative would tip the balance for the right head of upcoming cases on same sex adoptions and health care barbara perry is the director of presidential studies at

the university of virginia's millicent who joins us now from charlottesville how quickly is president trump likely to make his selection and how swiftly then will we see senate majority leader mitch mcconnell respond in this country we call this the rocket docket when it involves cases coming before the supreme court or other courts when they are expedited we're going to see i think a rocket docket for a supreme court nomination so i think probably this week will not be too soon for the president to make a nomination from the list that he sent out last week adding to the list he already had so he's up to about 40 possibilities and i think senator mcconnell the leader of the republicans in the senate the majority leader will begin to work on it immediately and that there is work to be done on these confirmation hearings take time involves planning and scheduling and preparation so is that likely to i mean that's going to take a couple of months isn't it. i again i think that it's going to be on

a rocket docket process and that i think they've been ready for this obviously justice ginsburg had been very ill as everyone knew particularly starting this summer so i think that they're probably ready to go through the switch as it were as soon as they got the official word that she had passed and that they can get the confirmation hearings started one issue will be having to bring in some members of the senate who are out campaigning right now a 3rd of the senate is up and about 2 thirds of those are republicans and some have dozen or so are in very tight races so that will be a cost to the republicans have to bring people out off the campaign trail such as it is during kogut so there will be that and i think they'll pick someone who is ready to i hit the ground running as they say ready to go before a committee almost on a moment's notice and begin to do circulate on capitol hill and do courtesy calls just to be claire is going to be a nomination and herrings taking place before the election but what about the vote

. it's even possible and particularly for mitch mcconnell if he's trying to make this case to the republican base that put put him back in the senate he's up for reelection in his home state of kentucky put all the republicans back in and keep the republican majority and keep president trump in the oval office because any time there is an opening on the highest court in the land or the other federal benches these will be reliable conservative so i think he'll try to get a vote prior to the election if he cannot get it done that fast it will happen in the so-called lame duck session that will be between the election and the end of this congress which actually ends before the inauguration it will end the 1st week in january i mean it's a republican court nomination at stake so obviously they came to move quickly but how conscious is mitch mcconnell of the fact that this comes at a while it an awkward time for republicans who are facing tough races in the senate as you were saying is there a a divergence a clash between short and long term interests here for them yes but i would tell

you he's probably in his home city of lawyer which happens to be my home city in kentucky and we both are graduates of the university of louisville which is playing a very big football match the same thing that he's a huge football player a football fan and if he could have been a football player perry would but he was a bit too small for that but he is he is plays the long game in the short. and so he will know exactly what strategy to use to maximize his goals which are to be reelected himself keep the senate in republican hands get another conservative on the supreme court and reelect donald trump what about public opinion will will people be in favor of this being pushed through so quickly particularly after what happened in 2016. well there's an interesting split there as well it shows the polls are showing just up to justice ginsburg's passing and the polls were showing that both democrats and republicans to the tune of about 60 percent were putting

supreme court appointments in the top 3 or 4 of their prior ties to issues for this upcoming election on november the 3rd but what calls are also showing is that the vast majority of americans want joe biden to pick the next nominee. what about the options for the democrats to talk to us more about that because their power is limited it is indeed there is very little the democrats can do except speak out speak out forcefully not only on capitol hill but around the country for biden and for those democrats who are running against incumbent republicans in the senate to try to get a democratic majority in the senate if that happens they have to play the long game now as well because the short game they have almost no power because they're in the minority the long game if they should take over the senate perhaps would be to try to expand the membership of the court the number of justices which is in their right to do that hasn't been done since 869 but they could try to do that

particularly with a democratic president joe biden in the oval office and then try to so-called pack the court with democratic nominee among these new members well thank you very much really appreciate your time on the news our barbara perry director the presidential studies at the university of virginia's miller center thank you. you know with the news hour live from london much more still ahead police make hundreds of arrests in better or worse is when they continue to defy the crackdown and take to the streets. is a growing of a corona virus outbreak at a temporary count camp on the greek island of les voss after more than $200.00 migrants and refugees test positive. and this welsh superstar is returning to the english premier li we'll have the details on that and much more in the sports.

now the sudanese government is being urged to prevent more damage and loss of life after the worst flooding the country's experienced in decades more than half a 1000000 people have been displaced and at least 100 have died and as mohammed adel reports from sendai there are warnings that affected villages could see outbreaks of disease the small letup in the suffering of sudan's flood victims. tolman sold was done and neighborhoods remain completely cutoff. the highest good neighborhood is only accessible by canoes up the law the law sent his wife and children to a come for the displaced but chose to remain behind to guard his flooded halls he's angry of the luck of. the response from the government has been very weak for the past 3 years we've been making the government to reinforce the flood defenses but they didn't we went and spoke to everyone for the local

authorities to the national government still nothing. that was floods 400 years is to completely destroyed most homes in this neighborhood the government has defended its response so far saying that it's been handed by international economy extensions as well as the shop full in the sudanese parliament. i want to know but i know what bad you know who do what at that house was the 1st one to be flooded in this neighborhood we were fast asleep we could only save our lives everything we owned got swept away saddam's rapid deployment forces of sprayed insect sights on pools of stagnant water to kill mosquito love but given how widespread the flooding has been it's almost impossible for everywhere to be disinfected the destruction of thousands of quick look through by the floods also is a great bend to the population here and i guess it's like unicef are now helping the government run them budgets to help the census to deal with and it all breaks.

up one of the numerous comes for the displaced in syria unicef medical stuff i immunizing children against missiles and other communicable diseases the health care workers say they are doing a very thing they come to avoid all breaks scaling up our nutrition surveillance. now at collecting what is getting. to be honest come by for any and as you know and also to detect early. monitors in case and to take them on the road if as they believe they need further. treatment the government in recent days issued new allots to communities living on the banks of the nile that remains in the highlands of neighboring ethiopia could did to flush floods sudan's humanitarian aid commission say 650000 people have been affected since the start of the rains in mid july millions of others are facing hardship as the cost of food and chance puts

solos because of the flood disaster browning economic tomboy in sudan how would i do all jazeera cinda in south western sudan. well thousands of protesters have gathered in the thai capital to demand a change of government and reform to the monarchy this is the largest protest the country has seen in years student led protests have been going on since july and have been given a boost by a new ally to the well established president pro-democracy movement as hyder reports from bangkok with the grand palace says 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 at 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 talks 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 pm can lead this is the 1st time that the red shirts the now saw support for the students and the 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 once in they began to set up for the main event the police were able 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 in force evidence that the student groups demands for reform in the government and monarchy have broad appeal. but down close and aunties come out it shows that they cannot take it anymore i don't think. it comes

to disc protests is about our rights everybody has to same rights to stand here because we've wasted $68.00 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 bangkok. oh police in batteries have made more than 300 arrests in a repeat of last weekend's protests when men defied the police crackdown to join marches in the capital minsk protesters continue to call for the resignation of president alexander lukashenko following last month's disputed election well our correspondent said vause and witnessed some of those arrests in minsk. after a massive thanks unself last weekend. the women are back here on the street women

have even bradley course gordie's protests in bollywood since the very start 3 women were the opposition leaders 2 of them have fled the country oneness and the tanks and so now we are the women here thinking over and still i screamed and shouted for look at factories i. police arrived women are running away here are trying to hide into their shops and restaurants here in this area. of panicky and i'll. deal. with the. tens of women by now have already been put in the detention vehicle some of them quite aggressively are pushed inside they keep pushing the press away all the time as well they also have of course been detaining journalists over the past weeks as well so everyone has to

be really careful here. some women are really emotional some are crying and shaking out of fear because so course these mammoths very intimidating they also have in the past been trying to grab them actually reveal their identities to make sure that they will be held accountable for what they have done. well the latest on the coronavirus now it has infected close to 31000000 people worldwide and killed almost a 1000000 so far a 2nd wave of infections is feared now in many countries the united states continues to be the worst affected was close to 7000000 infections and nearly 200000 deaths india's added more than 93000 new cases to its total of more than 5000000 germany has recorded its high stating number of new infections since the month of april and parts of spain's capital madrid carrying out for instructions affecting $850000.00 spaniards and then here persons prime minister. says a 2nd wave of infections is being seen and new national restrictions might be

necessary to deal with that the rise in numbers is despite a testing crisis in the country well al jazeera sunday gago is outside a testing site in london that's where she was earlier and sent us this update. well this is one of the mobile testing sites that has been set up on this weekend in order to try and deal with the surge of coronavirus infections in the u k particular what is worrying is even though they are younger people who are primary affected by this most recent wave concern is that it will go to more vulnerable members of society including older people who are more affected by the virus meanwhile there is more pressure on the prime minister to try and deal with this 2nd wave now last week mr forrest johnson did say that to do

another national lockdown would be a disaster for the u.k. but he is coming and more pressure not just from his own policy but also from other leaders around the u. k. scottish leader nicholas sturgeon as well has asked that an emergency meeting be chad to deal with this the effects of this latest wave and also the mayor of london city con has called for for guidance from the government but this is going to be the weekend where boris johnson is going to have to consider exactly what he's going to have to do that couldn't tell further local lockdowns as well as more of a social restrictions including non mixing of the households together meanwhile elsewhere fears of a corona virus outbreak at a new migrant camp on the greek island of lies valse are rising at least 214 people have been quarantined off the test. positive that 19 around 1000 migrants have

moved to the temporary camp after the previous site burned down last week the notoriously overcrowded morea camp housed more than 12000 migrants foresees believe the file was set by migrants angry at virus isolation procedure is stephy decker's a temporary campsite set up by the authorities migrants have been very unhappy with their conditions. people are starting to settle into their new reality which is life in this new camp an emergency camp it's very windy today open to the elements one thing people have been concerned about was not being able to leave thinking that they would perhaps be stuck in there calling it a potential jail but from what we've been seeing is people are being allowed moving in and out of the camp the authorities here telling us that people are free to move to go and buy supplies groceries until 8 pm in the evening we've seen people queue up outside a supermarket just down the road where they can buy groceries and this is what they

had to tell us about what it's like inside the camp. over the conditions are really bad inside there's just a tent people are sleeping on the floor the conditions are horrible. for the toilets you have to go outside these are some of the videos that have emerged from inside showing the horrendous conditions of the toilets. and this is really only early days when it comes to dealing with thousands and thousands of people so time will tell how this camp is going to come together it's still being constructed agencies are still getting their act together but certainly the message from people inside is that the conditions are challenging what people want is to get off the island many of them have been waiting over a year for their asylum say papers to be processed for their requests to be processed and that is a process that is going to be restarted soon but certainly the message from the authorities here it doesn't seem that these people have been waiting for so long already are going to be leaving the island any time soon. now 2 people have been

killed off to a mediterranean hurricane hit central greece the storm called caused a widespread flooding north of athens it cools power cuts on the ionian islands and train services linking the north and south of the country have been halted searches are continuing for 2 people who have been reported missing. but the news ally from london much more still ahead as wildfires have been through brazil's forests and wetlands president bill sonora says its handling of the environment is an example for the world. in a break with the u.n. security council sanctions are to be reimposed on iran by the united states but what effect will they actually have. and then in sport the world number 2 finds an easy way through to the semifinals at least to me and.

a says about the system in the southwest heavy rain into spain much of france as well becoming havea in the day there's another system across the phone specially the push on sunday bringing their shyness and strong winds across coastal areas of norway and again on monday that rain very widespread across areas of france but it's fine in london for the next few days sunny skies some clouds on wednesday. yes. and the disease because 50 percent of all deaths children and. staff. that's. lacking it's bad childhood education that. used. to.

ginsburg has kicked off a political battle president trump says he will now name a successor to the senior liberal justice without delay but the democrats disagree . more than 600000 people have been affected by flooding in sudan international agencies are increasing their support to fight any outbreaks of disease like malaria. and then thousands of people have protested against the government in thailand organizers say the demonstration demanded demanding the prime minister's removal was the largest in years. now and all the stories are following alexina volley is walking again after waking from a coma the russian opposition leader says his recovery is going well but it will take a while of ali is being treated in germany doctors said he was poisoned with a russian nerve agent last month the kremlin has denied involvement alex tito of is a specialist on russia and a lecturer in modern european history of queen's university belfast he says

election of on his recovery won't necessarily mean that he'll return to his previous level of political activity. if he returns and he resumes he is there with don't like the we've got much less room for them to do anything about it because they'll be so it's so much more. international attention paid to whatever they do the kind of thinking on the regular basis as they used to the cons of wishing to jail in certain of the countries in him again if it was them who did it but at the same time. in the long run of on the itself yes to try to very careful line in a sense that he doesn't want to be a bit too on pity or take russian the russian public and its various westen goals the sanctions imposed on russia individuals but also on. the gas pipeline which is being built and so forth really make make his situation within russia a little bit more precarious as well i would say with the public as well as the

thirty's of the northeast but if you're korea is will be just but as i think what we can say for sure is that he's not going to be the same as it was before because for all the factors because of the poisoning because of the international pressure and sanctions. and because of the. other do the therapist will basically. treat him as as they used to treat him before so it's a difficult one and i'm still not 100 percent sure that it would actually let him return to russia the could be a pressure for him just to stay away. wildfires are continuing to burn through brazil's amazon rain forest on the pantin a wetlands present job also said that brazil is an example for the wild in its handling of the environment want to kiana q reports from rio de janeiro. the punt that the world's largest wetland and not a drop of water in sight fires have been blazing year since july leaving

but during the impeachment proceedings many had accused 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 didn't give him the benefit of the doubt blank 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 idealists on just one just to. hundreds of protesters in southern yemen have gathered to denounce bahrain in the u.a.e. for making ties with israel demonstrators rallied in the city of zinjibar chanting

slogans in solidarity with the palestinian cause in israel signed a diplomatic agreement brokered by the united states on tuesday on friday protestors in morocco gathered outside the parliament there to denounce the agreements as well. head of iran's revolutionary guard has vowed to target everyone involved in the killing of the country's top military commander are some solar monny was assassinated by a u.s. drone strike in january whilst he was in iraq general sane salami addressed his threat of obvious serious and real revenge at president trump earlier this week trump responded to reports of iranian target iranians targeting a u.s. ambassador saying he would hit back a 1000 times harder meanwhile in a matter of hours the united states is set to unilaterally declare u.n. sanctions on iran a back in effect it says the so-called snap back mechanism follows iranian violations of the nuclear agreement the u.s. has already withdrawn from the moves likely to have little effect as almost all

members of the security council oppose it our diplomatic editor james bays reports . it's aroud it's even pitted the u.s. against some of its closest allies and it's now over 5 years since the iran nuclear deal was signed in vienna joining the negotiations the us team under the leadership of the then secretary of state john kerry devised a mechanism called snap back if iran breached its commitments all international sanctions could snap back into place but that's not the way things played out the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal it was the us under president trump that pulled out of the deal 2 years ago. despite this in objections from the rest of the international community the u.s. still argues it could trigger a snapback the one thing that the previous administration got right is they created

a provision where under un security council resolution 20 to 31 any one of the nations identified there had the right to say we want the sanctions that were in place prior to this that moment to snap back and that's what we'll do the rest of the world have ignored the u.s. declaration and in some ways more important than snap back is what happens on november the 3rd but one of the diplomats who negotiated the iran deal told me even if joe biden is elected president on that day getting back into the deal might not be that easy i don't think it's as easy as some people have made it out to be that president i'm certain i want that yes and then everything distributed we go back to status quo ante i think actually you're i mean on certain points you argue that 8 man out and say she or the sanctions or other countries may see the united states issues coming out of. your ass so i think it's going to be much more complicated

than just the station yet diplomats say behind the. it seems a great deal of pressure was put on the other members of the security council to support the u.s. position only one country the small nation of dominican republic did whatever washington says it seems that the plan to snap back sanctions has failed jamesburg syria at the united nations. blank served as the u.s. state department coordinator for iran you can implementation under the former president barack obama he says the trouble ministration has failed to provoke iran into destroying the last remnants of the pact. entire snapback plan was designed in order to try to shatter the remnants of the g c p o a and make it impossible for a newly elected democratic president to try to reenter the deal if they if they choose to do so i think the administration has basically it failed in that effort

they've failed to complicate the situation of the united nations the europeans have been categorical that the united states doesn't have standing to use snapback that means that from the world's perspective un security council resolution resolution 2231 remains in place as an international legal framework for the deal and they've also failed to provoke an overreaction from iran that would eliminate the remnants of the deal and so at this stage i think quite frankly they're just trying to kind of clean up the mess that they've created and do some domestic politics i don't really think that there is a diplomatic or national security purpose to the vice president biden has said repeatedly and very clearly that what he would like is a compliance for compliance return to the g.c. pewit the united states pulled out of the deal and we stopped to be abiding by our obligations and after that iran's stop divide dividing rightly some of their obligations of what vice president biden would like is for both sides to go back into abiding by their obligations and then from from that standpoint to start
