southwest england for an animal hunted to extinction 400 years ago is making a comeback attracting tourists and helping to reduce flooding. welcome to the program tributes are being paid to u.s. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg who's died aged $87.00 while many are remembering her legacy as a champion of women's rights a political fight is also brewing over what happens next republicans want to name her successor immediately with president on trump tweeting that he'll do so without that they will get the latest on that very shortly of course the democrats particular challenge it joe biden is saying that the next president should decide this alan fischer reports. became tilley 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 may not have touched 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. the 4 year old. but as 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 ginsberg 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 their spoken ginzburg fought 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 you're like. what else can you say she was an amazing moment. she was an amazing woman. to me.

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 broder joe biden says there must be no decision until the election has past 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 though 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 outside the u.s. supreme court opacic ion is telling a story from washington as well joins us live now we're getting more of an indication as to the very swift timeline for this. we are and this is from the u.s. president donald trump he was headed to marine one is off for another campaign rally in north carolina he stopped to talk to reporters and really no surprise there he repeated what he's been tweeting and what mitch mcconnell put out basically saying that he believes he's going to put forward probably

a woman and he wants to do it soon now decorum would have you say he would at least wait until ruth bader ginsburg was buried but decorum is not really been the subject for republicans since her death the senate majority leader came out within the hour to say that he was going to try and push forward her replacement this came immediately after her granddaughter said her dying wish was that the next president or the president after the election would pick her successor but the president said he's not going to wait let's listen to what he had to say i think the process to go very very fast i'll be making my joy soon and when the choice is made i'll be sending it over to the edge of the senate and they will do what they have to do i think will have a very popular joyce whoever it may be. and of course patty is difficult to emphasize the significance of the ideological shift that will see in the country

and of course what that means for the democrats if joe biden is elected. it really basically and i know it's cliche but it really don't know what's going to happen so normally a supreme court nominee takes months and they meet with every individual senator and they're vetted and there's hearings this in republicans have $45.00 days till the election it would be precedented if they were able to move that fast not to mention as alan mentioned what they did merrick garland which broke obama put up in march before the presidential election so this was months now they have $45.00 days and they said at the time it's unfair to put a someone on the supreme court so close to an election but now what you're seeing is people like senator lindsey graham who is on tape it's just a couple years back saying no no if there's a vacancy in the presidential campaign is under way there's no way we put forward a republican now he's come out and said he would support doing that because of the way brett kavanaugh was treated during his confirmation hearings remember he was

a supreme court justice who was credibly charged with sexual assault so lindsey graham now flipping out what he said at the time he said if i if i go against this use my words against me so he's obviously going to push forward but we're seeing some republicans mitch mcconnell doesn't have a whole lot of room to maneuver can't was very many senators and we've seen senator susan collins of maine she's very vulnerable up for reelection trouble in the polls she's come forward and said no the justice shouldn't be picked until after the next election so there's a handful of republican senators that will determine if they can do this it's not just about if they can do it in $45.00 days which seems unlikely can they do it with the republicans they have in the senate thank you very much from washington to combine. all in all the developments that we've had the u.s. president says he's going to approve a deal to allow the social media to talk to keep operating in the u.s. he said an agreement with the tech from oracle and supermarket chain wal-mart to take of the american operations of the chinese and app would get his blessing white

house had to apply pressure on the company over what it called national security concerns it's not clear if this affects a ban on downloading the app that's due to come into force on sunday. now the sudanese government is being urged to prevent more damage and loss of life after the worst flooding the country has experienced in decades or than half a 1000000 people have been displaced and at least 100 have died and in hama dull reports from saying there are warnings that affected villages could see outbreaks of disease the small letup in the suffering of sudan's flood victims is injured tolman sold was done entire neighborhoods remain completely cut told. the highest shot of the neighborhood is only accessible by consumers of the law the law sent his wife and children to come for the displaced

but chose to remain behind to god his flooded house he's angry of the law. the response from the government has been very weak for the past 3 years we've been taking 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 in sudan completely destroyed most homes in this neighborhood the government has defended its response so far saying that it's been to him that by international economy extensions as well as the shop fall in the sudanese parliament. i want to know that 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 sudan'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 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 so relevant. now that the election was going. to be honest some by any and as you know and also to detect early. monitors in case and to take them on the road if as they will they need further. treatment the government in recent days issued new

allots to communities living on the banks of the nile that rains 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 chiles put solos because of the flood disaster browning economic tomoya in sudan how 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 monic this is the largest protest the country has seen in one is the student led protests have been going on since july and have been given a new this by an ally to the well established pro-democracy movement ascott hi there reports from bangkok. with the grand palace says a backdrop and what's known as the wool field under their feet thousands of

pro-democracy protesters gather in bangkok. as they began to flow into the original venue at thomas art 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 sciri walked. 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 announced our 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 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 in force evidence that the student groups demands for reform in the government and monarchy have broad appeal. for down close and antes come out it shows that they cannot take it anymore i don't think matt has meant it comes to describe tests 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 banker. so i have for you on the program police make hundreds of arrests in baton rouge as women continue

to defy the crackdown and take to the streets and then in a break with the u.n. security council sanctions are imposed on iran by the united states but back to late action. and those in some very welcoming quite heavy rain across areas of south australia sunny really impacting in a positive way the drought affected areas but that re not continuing to work its way eastwards as we move on through sunday some heavy as well at times clearing off the coast of new south wales and you can see the rain again really gathering across the great by pulling away all the while from western australia so it's a little bit pricey on monday still some fairly blustery winds and really quite cloudy as well and those winds and that rain on its way again towards the southeast but we're still seeing more of this rain developing right there down into the

southeast as we head on through monday and then crossed by thousands of new zealand it's a pretty good weekend to head south of the not bad sunday is calm and fine and we should see the same for monday maybe just wanted to shower as is west facing coast to pick up one or 2 but really nothing more than that and then up schools and all of asia some very heavy rain back in the forecast across the central areas the china the cloud as well still streaming out towards the east that will also bring with it some rain showers heavy at times through eastern sections of japan again nothing really there more than that but the rain still quite persistent across the central areas and also to the south as well so another very wet day in hong kong with a high of 31. rewind returns. with updates on the best about is a list documentary. to.

remind continues with uncomfortably this is gaza central jail and this is the section where they're holding prisoners on drug charges the users and dealers here there's 120 of them in 3 different cells on al-jazeera. the all the way. back a quick look at our main story now the death of u.s. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg has kicked off a political battle in the country president trump says he will now name a successor to the senior liberal justice without delay but the democrats disagree . in are all the headlines will and 600000 people have been affected by flooding in

saddam international agencies are increasing their support to find any outbreaks of diseases like malaria. and thousands of people have protested against the thai government organizers said the demonstration demanding the prime minister's removal was the largest in years. with all the stories of falling police in belarus and made more than $300.00 arrests in a repeat of last weekend's protests women defy the police crackdown to join marches in the capital minsk protests continue to call for the resignation of president alexander lukashenko after last month's disputed election when our correspondents that vast and witnessed some of the arrests in minsk. after last last week rally the women are back here on this 3 women have even tried to force saudis protest. since the very start 3 women were the opposition leader 2

of them have fled the country oneness and being sanctioned so now the other women here are thinking over and there still are screaming and shouting or look at factories i. play style as arrived women are running away they are trying to hide and to go shops and restaurants. here in this area better 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 of course these men up very intimidating they also have in the past been trying to grap them actually reveal their identities to make sure that they will be held accountable for what they have done all in a matter of hours the u.s. is set to unilaterally declare a u.n. sanctions on iran back in effect it says the so-called snap back mechanism follows iranian violations of the nuclear agreement the u.s. has already pulled out of the move is likely to have little effect as almost all members of the security council oppose it our diplomatic editor james bays now reports. it's a route that 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 u.s. 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 snap back the one thing that the previous administration got right as they created a provision where under u.n. security council resolution 2231 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 will 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 told 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 insert why it's you argue that 8 man out and say she or the sanctions or other countries may see the united states issues i mean our agreements and so i think it's going to be much more complicated than just the student yet diplomats say behind the. 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 james sirrah at the united nations. persons government is facing more criticism for

the lack of testing available for people with cove in 1900 times many say they're being forced to wait for days because the system can't cope with the demand with a 2nd wave of the virus feared the government is now considering new restrictions. dahlia is from the johns hopkins university center for health security but with al-jazeera and said that the priority should really be to expand expand testing for everyone. you 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 fostered 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 fact 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 health departments 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 is that testing tracing in isolating that we need to do in many countries still do not have the capacity to do so well meanwhile elsewhere fears of a corona virus outbreak at a new migrant camp on the great island of lez boss of rising at least 214 people have been quarantined after testing positive for that 19 around 9000 migrants have moved to the temporary camp after the previous site burned down last week and a tory say overcrowded laurie account pals more than 12000 migrants parties believe the fire was set by those who were angry with the virus isolation procedures stephanie deca was at the temporary camp that was set up by the authorities where people are very upset with the 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 and 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 aid 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 iran mediterranean hurricane hit central greece the stone cold caused widespread flooding north of athens it caused 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 also been reported missing. well now hundreds of protesters in southern yemen have gathered to denounce bahrain in the u.a.e. for establishing relations with israel demonstrators rallied in the city of

benefits they bring obvious there's a whole long list but for many moms offload reduction in the build dams they reduce flooding downstream water quality improvements those same dams cut short pollutants receive the carbon capture within the dams and in the vegetation that grows in the sediments behind them i mean we see an explosion in the wall of life so much more wetland. after the beavis of. 15 families now live here and the government has sanctioned their reintroduction across the country it's a groundbreaking decision returning a once extinct native species to england but not without problems beavers are brilliant architects cutting down trees to build dams which create deep pools of water to hide and store their plant food you can see here 3 pools created it partly by beaver dam is a welcome change for this land 1st some landowners a concern that some of the downs could flood their fields conservationists are

urging the government to provide funds so that everyone can embrace that. flooding and managing it is already costing the u.k. $2800000000.00 a year ecologists a keen to point out that the work the beavers do has real value far outweighing the costs of minor floods to farm and these beaver dams store water they can slow the flow of water through catchment which can alleviate flooding and create more for resilient landscapes the beavers slow water down as it moves through their territory and that has the the impact on so have been dropping out of the water and that can trap environmental pollution such as phosphate and not traits so a release of species to reintroduce in england back on the rivers their numbers growth so his interest in them attracting tourists and boosting the local economy. this female has for spring through each go out to find their own river to build
