6:15 pm
so hopelessly cause for concern some doctors are saying of course there are more people being tested and that's playing a factor in these rising numbers nevertheless the prime minister's office tax says the people should be extremely vigilant he says he's warning running out of time to control the situation he says if the situation doesn't come under control and we see some sort of reversal in those numbers but we could face in the next few weeks even sooner who knows is a prospect of another national knock down about something that the government didn't really ruled out until now the government been very adamant that they want to try and avoid going down that path but the prime minister there really warning that the situation is serious we've also seen some cities in france where the virus is circulating a lot more than in other places particularly in the southern city of not saying that is why the government have decided to impose stricter rules that move
6:16 pm
restrictions on people being able to gather the government also saying the balls and restaurants must stop completely for 2 weeks hold that has not been received well a tour by a restaurant and bar owners in many saying that is completely unfair and reasonable they say it's not necessary they say they were consulted the government say that is absolutely necessary in order to protect people's health and try and stop the spread of the virus in the city. ok let me take you back to that story i was telling you about originally from mali which is has a new interim leader 5 weeks after the military ousted president. so we can now join nicholas he's been following developments from senegal as capital nic i want to ask you 1st of all about this news that echo was says that sanctions will not be lifted until a civilian prime minister is named in mali and when we were talking about this just 24 hours ago it sounded from good luck jonathan jonathan who is leading the
6:17 pm
delegation that those sanctions could actually be lifted and of course this is now a completely different situation. that's right rob not quite ready yet that's what the west african heads of states are saying to lift those sanctions that are affecting this landlocked country of mali the reason being is that as part of the negotiations of the meeting that happened between the west african leaders and the military they want to see not just president that's a civilian or a new vice president they want to see a prime minister that that's name that has to be a civilian that hasn't been done yet the president has that and also they want to have a clear idea of what their charter is going to be what is going to be the role of this new vice president and what is going to be the role of this president and nationally the military genter presented the case that the vice president which is right now the leader of the colonel as well he would be in charge of security and defense and reestablishing the state for the west africans head of state that's not
6:18 pm
that's not something that a soldier or an officer should be doing but that should go to a civilian so there's still an clarity about what the charter exactly is also we're still waiting for a new prime minister to be nominating we're hearing that could be someone from the opposition movement the m 5 movement that led the protest movement that had to present to be to be let out of office rob thank you very much indeed that's nicholas had just bring us up to date with the details of what's happening in mali he's been speaking to us from senegal as capital nic thank you the activist whose story inspired the movie hotel rwanda has admitted to helping fund an armed group to aid refugees but he's told his bail hearing he doesn't condone violence poultices of again is charged with 13 offenses including financing terrorism and complicity in murder he says he was tricked into flying home from years in exile which is again it was hailed as

a large decline in covert 19 cases came to an end this week with 533 reported on thursday the highest daily number since early july there is to have a sick day it doesn't fancy the caution that existed in the spring has more and more been replaced by hugs parties and everyday life that for many seems to be a return to normal from one of the world's highest covert 19 writes in the summer sweden says dropped below countries that imposed lock downs like france the u.k. and spain they have been just a handful of recommendations under strict sions in place and despite this week's new cases the government says it isn't planning to get harsher just yet schools have stayed open since march and masks arrest site even during rush hour. this has become very common in most of the world but in sweden virtually no one wears a mask the health agency doesn't recommend them saying it can make people more

6:32 pm
rested her family and members of congress have been paying their respects ginsburg died at $87.00 after a long battle with cancer. for more let's cross live to hydrogen castro who's on capitol hill heidi ruth bader ginsburg known for creating historic moments throughout her life and her career even in death she's breaking barriers now. that's right and she is the 1st woman to lie in state here the neat the capitol dome and statuary hall and the cat of which she lives on top that the coffin was she rests on top that was built for president abraham lincoln and many men after him have also lain there in state past presidents past u.s. supreme court justices now the late justice ruth bader ginsburg has become the 1st woman to officially lie in state but he's the capitol and her legacy is one that
6:33 pm
really has been a journey that symbolizes the social revolution that she was really the vanguard for during her lifetime in championing equal rights equal wages and job opportunities for women and men in the united states arguably changing the lives of millions of americans within her lifetime she experienced discrimination it was a different world that she was born into she was denied jobs because of her gender denied promotions because she was pregnant she famously had to justify her occupying a spot at harvard law school in 1956 to the dean who asked why she was there taking the place of a man then she went on to work for the a.c.l.u. where she successfully argued a number of cases before the supreme court that were based that were that were fighting gender discrimination and finally in 1903 with her nomination and
6:34 pm
confirmation to the u.s. supreme court she was only the 2nd female justice to sit on that bench and certainly her death at the age of 87 leaves a wide hole that liberals are grieving in in this political atmosphere we know that president trump. it has already said that tomorrow this is before justice ginsburg is even lain in the ground that president trump will announce his nominee for her replacement and that is despite justice ginsburg's granddaughter saying that the dying wish of ginsburg was that a new president announce her replacement but certainly the politics of this moment are not calling for that with president hoping to get his nominee who will surely be from the conservative right a quick confirmation process in the senate where there are enough republican
6:35 pm
senators to push that confirmation through with the president's goal of having a newly employed to appoint a supreme court justice on the bench by the time of the november 3rd elections that would be a break neck speed for pushing through confirmation but they have the numbers to do it it would shatter records and the irony here or the great consequence of that being that if this is a close election and polls do show that it's tightening up quite a bit that there may be legal challenges to the results given the mail in ballots we know that it might be a long process to count the votes and that gives opportunity for either side to challenge in a legal court the results which may eventually be this very court the supreme court that decides may putting a heavy thumb on who becomes the next president or whether trump remains the president for a 2nd term i do thank you very much that's how to bring yourself to date on capitol
6:36 pm
hill well the family of brianna to a black woman who was fatally shot by police in their home and more on their lawyers have been speaking john hendren live for us in louisville kentucky. john we just saw some brief pictures there of some of the press conference that's being held at the moment we heard earlier on from 2 attorneys benjamin crump the family's lawyer and also limited in the lead to the baker both calling for the testimony of the transcripts of the grand jury decision to be made public what else have they been sane. that's the main theme here what they're asking for is the transcript of what happened in the grand jury and the reason is they suspect that daniel cameron the attorney general who prosecuted this did not recommend charges for the shooting of briana taylor we don't know that that's the case the family says they don't have the data to show that it's the case
6:37 pm
but they're asking the question so that's why they keep chanting show us the transcripts they want to know that charges were preferred that they were they were presented before the grand jury and that it was the grand jury that decided not to issue charges for the shooting of briana taylor and not the prosecutor himself we also have the father of jacob blake who was shot by police and could know she was constant jacob lake sr is here he may speak shortly but we also heard from bianca austin she is the aunt of brianna taylor and she read a statement from taylor's mother who is here but she's a very shy woman and i suspect that's not that's why she didn't read this statement herself her name is to make up palmer and she said in part. that she had read in the newspaper that one of the officers one day mattingly in an e-mail called us animals and thugs that was a reference to protesters to his colleagues and she said i'm angry that our
6:38 pm
children are dying at the hands of police officers the terrorists who broke down beyond his door failed her the whole system failed her so there's a lot of anger here about the fact that no charges were levied and there's a lot of talk by benjamin crump the lawyer for brianna taylor's family and others that protesters need to keep demonstrating out here and in the streets but also that they need to vote not just at the presidential level but also at the local level so that the mayors and the others who governed. here in louisville and elsewhere will institute new laws requiring that there'd be no no knock warrants which is what happened brianna taylor and that officers wear body cameras and so that footage of those incidents can be recorded we know that one of the officers in this case was wearing a body camera that was an officer named mattingly he was shot during that incident where brianna taylor's boyfriend fired through the door saying he thought that he
6:39 pm
his house was being broken into. mattingly had somebody camera video of him being evacuated that was released by his lawyer today so here they're asking for the transcripts we've got some new video which we hope to show you later john thanks very much indeed of course we're going to be checking in with you i don't need to stage but for now that's john hendren live for us in louisville. well back to a major story out of egypt we've been following anti-government protesters in several cities and towns defied a crackdown on dissent to demand the resignation of president. well your family's joining me now she's an assistant professor of political science at long island university she's also a member of the egyptian rule of law association she's talking to us by skype from new york good to have you back on the program and just give us an idea why this is happening because there have been 6 days of protests and yet the problems that are
6:40 pm
undermining them underlying them i should say seem to be going on for a very long time. well this is it really interesting moment in egypt's modern history if true called just around this time last year this. figure in exile of mohammed ali had emerged and was starting to narron to the gyptian people what was really happening inside of egypt's political elite are really about the president so if we think about since the 2011 revolution in especially since the 2013 military coup egypt's bingo undergoing a level of austerity measures clamp down state security forces in the streets but he was indicating to gyptian population was something that they didn't know which is the level of internal corruption in the c.c. regime but also in amongst him and his family members while he was asking the average egyptian for you know these austerity measures but 2013 many people last year this time but many people did come to the street and they came to the
6:41 pm
streets in the larger cities the difference this time this week is muhammad ali reemerged and calls for the people to come into streets and where they came out this past the 20th and today are in the peripheral cities which is very different than the protests of the past and while the stay security forces for the most part have been quite restrained there have been mass arrests but there haven't been shootings in the squares like we did see last year there have been some videos on internet there on their fight but for the most part there been massive arrest over 2300 people have been arrested according to amnesty international and just yesterday 150 people appeared before state security forces but met hemet at the reemerged today telling people to come to the square so that they can protect one another from arrest because not everyone can be arrested now these are troubling for the egyptian regime for 2 primary reasons is that someone in exile is able to
6:42 pm
