the family has called the decision outrageous and offensive. u.s. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell says there will be an orderly transfer of power off the november election after president donald trump refused to say whether he had respect the results if he lost. and thailand's parliament has voted to delay discussions on whether to amend the constitution protesters have been rallying for hours outside parliament in bangkok demanding reforms. yes president donald trump has been paying his respects to justice ruth bader ginsburg who is lying in state at the supreme court ensberg died last week of pancreatic cancer has vowed to fill her seat for the election in november despite outrage from the democrats because there was a she had written c. he's also outside the supreme court that she had how did we see the u.s. president arrived and pay his respects to this lady.
5:17 pm
it was interesting very clear the public from the area outside the supreme court ahead of the president's visit but as soon as his motorcade arrived and all trump and the 1st lady appeared on the steps of the supreme court for longer than about 2 minutes or so we could see that the pub members of the public haven't gone very far we had stereophonic process from either side a wall of boos a trump trumps were ringing out as donald trump stood on the steps just for a few for a few minutes he then returned to another chorus of boos and other members of the public have now resumed paying their respects to justice ginsburg who will whose casket will remain here for the rest of thursday before being moved to the capitol hill in congress itself where she will lie in state in stark treat such such yury or the 1st woman to have been afforded that honor in u.s.
5:18 pm
history is of course probably expected and welcome welcome didn't he because of course he has been insistent on defying justice ginsburg's dying wish. right and he was suggesting that she didn't make any which is of this is all made up by the by the democrats from what we can hear and mitch mcconnell himself the senate majority leader isn't saying anything official but the general sense is donald trump will get his way that there will be confirmation hearings perhaps beginning on october the 12th and a confirmation vote by october 29th this is exactly what donald trump wants he says as far as he's concerned he's expecting the results of the election to end up at the supreme court he wants a full complement of supreme court judges including his hand-picked successor to ruth bader ginsburg on the bench to adjudicate there's not least because the republicans have lost their faith in chief justice john roberts who's become somewhat of a swing voter on the court so they want that i'm sure someone that donald trump has
5:19 pm
named who they're sure will will carry the car of the trump flame the character of the trump dog because that's what was going to be said in the hearings but clearly if you ever wondered how political the supreme court was whether this was just as extra judicial judicial body that was calling strikes and balls i mean you really see how political the supreme court supreme court is and what's fascinating is the latest reporting we're hearing about the general sonora is of how the results of the election might end up at the supremes court astonishing and this is reporting done in the atlantic with a reporter speaking to people in trumps all bit who suggested that one of the game plans being discussed is on election day pretty much whole to the election voting after all election day when it's expected all trout will have a lead because trump voters are more likely to go to the polls in person on the day both because they have they take the pandemic less seriously and because all trouble said absentee balloting mail in balloting is completely illegitimate halt
5:20 pm
the voting on election day when trump has a lead and then take everything to the court starts start suing that that the the vote count for absentee ballots for mail in ballots is illegitimate in the goods and that would that could well end up. the supremes go that's one of many scenarios that we've heard of course that won't happen if joe biden has a complete blow up and takes florida and so on but that's one of the scenarios that are being talked about because all trump keeps saying he will take this all the way to the supreme court if he's not happy with the result ok she have her tansey the supreme court where trump a number of the public are paying respects he relates justice ruth bader ginsburg. is turning to the european union for help to stop attacks by eisel linked groups in its northern region the president wants the e.u. to train its forces to battle armed groups which emerged 3 years ago in the garden and then the fighters have stepped up the violence seizing important towns and targeting the military. in the face of terrorist attacks the
