. they dubbed it the friday of reach to demonstrate their opposition to the rule of opting for top a c c and among the tea resigns. slogans like this say it's outloud don't be scared of c.c. has to go were heard in cairo's one neighborhood. in the giza governorates which has been the epicenter since protests began last sunday police and other security personnel were deployed in force. this latest wave of anti-government an anti military rule protests were triggered by cc's decision to demolish entire neighborhoods across egypt under the pretext that the homes were built illegally. these neighborhoods how some of the country's poorest communities who have already been suffering the brunt of a faltering economy unable to cope with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic according to the world bank 70 percent of all egyptians 70 percent live under either under poverty or on the brink of poverty that's

a situation that's and hannibal attitude that the social and political constraints just yesterday $150.00 appeared for the state security courts and charges of terrorism because they were protesting in the street we know that terrorism charges in egypt are the ways in which the state clamps down on any bourses of dissent. there were calls to by former army contractor turned opposition figure muhammad ali now an exile for people to demonstrate with september 20th marking one year since similar demonstrations took place against c.c.s. rule lives she says supporters particularly those who control egypt's media will claim that these protests are marginal and largely in significance but the way in which the state is dealing with the protesters would suggest otherwise. human rights groups like amnesty international have a ready to announce the mass arrests of demonstrators over the past few days. egypt has now witness 6 consecutive days of protests the slogans have all been demanding

an end to cc's rule and while the number of protests may be growing gradually ceases grip on power doesn't seem to be loosening. when i speak to see even mcinerney about this is joining us via skype from washington d.c. and he's executive director of the project on middle east democracy thank you very much stephen for being with us these protests against presidency seen egypt and the government happen periodically do you get a sense that things are different this time around that this could unfold into a real challenge for the bafflement. honestly it's hard to know exactly how things were once told these kind of protester are typically quite unpredictable both for the regime and for outside of servers. you know the fact that as you mentioned these protests in egypt continue to occur every so often is strong evidence of the sort of slowly steadily growing discontent among your citizens. frustration with. really the failure of the regime to address

a wide variety of demands including basic economic demands and as your story noted the level poverty has been growing steadily in egypt prices inflation and been extremely high in the last few years and then all of these bridges in condition to make and exacerbated this year by the then back to the part of ours how strong is the discontent though i mean there's been a city a crackdown on protests in egypt in the past on any attempt to me to vocalize opposition to the government do you think when a gypsy will be willing to to face to face to to to you know to go out on the streets and you know face violence and face death even by protesting. you know with a c.c. regime as to as shown clearly that they're using willing to use force to to make arrests to keep people in prison and to torture them and so the fact that in spite of all these obstacles that there are still no gyptian willing to go out there and

put themselves at great risk to express their frustration discontent shows the level of desperation of that and the level of discontent in the country it's very difficult to measure the discontent using traditional measures you can't do reliable public opinion polling in such a close political environment but there are lots of indicators to just content is quite high in content and steadily growing and some point i think this will be your judgment 1st easy to withstand i think in your design unsustained what you've got to you talk about a closed political environment the c.c. regime since it came to power has made it clear that he has 0 tolerance for opposition and dissidents why has the international community not taken more of a stand and demanded an end to human rights violations in egypt. that's a good question i mean unfortunately that interaction community in many instances sort of fails to stand up against repressive authoritarian leaders frankly speaking

from washington and of course to the government here and as an important role to play is one of egypt's most important external backers and the provider of more than a 1000000000 in military aid to egypt's military every year and unfortunately this current us administration has really shown no little to no interest in raising these issues or or pressing was years over that could change if there were to be a change here in washington oh in our elections in november thank you very much for talking to us about this stephen mcinerney from the project on middle east democracy joining us and from washington thank you for your time and my pleasure thanks. in other world news the number of confirmed covered $1000.00 cases in the united states has now passed $7000000.00 according to johns hopkins university that's more than 20 percent of the world's total reported infections meanwhile a study in the u.s. says every opening of university campuses could be linked to more than $3000.00 additional cases a day top infectious diseases expert anthony found she says he wants to see cases

fall to below $10000.00 a day before the flu season starts in october president trump claims the country is rounding the corner on the crisis dr tom frieden is a former director of the centers for disease control and prevention in the u.s. he says the focus needs to be on longer term solutions and not just a quick fix. it's clear that different parts of the united states as different parts of europe are in very different places you've got the northeast and a few other states that have relatively low rates and have kept those low for many weeks now of other states with rapid increases one thing i think we need to be clear about is that we don't know what the flu season will look like this year in the southern hemisphere there wasn't a bad flu season so it may be that you don't have this kind of double trouble of flu plus coated but we do expect to see more code spreading in colder weather that would be expected and with people coming back to schools and colleges with not

having consensus around mass wearing with not having good programs to test and trace before the u.s. does not have the upper hand on the virus right now we hope there will be a vaccine rolled out through 2021 but that's not assured and even if there's a vaccine it's not a fairytale ending to this pandemic with the vaccine we're still going to need to be careful about interspaces be careful about hand washing and shaking hands and wearing masks do a good job of finding cases and contacts and outbreaks so that there isn't spread i think we need to get past the concept that we just need one thing and then this will go away we need to chip away at the risk of kogan and recognize that we're all connected within countries and among countries and it's an all of our best interest to work together to stop this pandemic and also be much better prepared for the next one. u.s. media is reporting that president donald trump intends to nominate 48 year old amy

connie barrett a favorite with social conservatives to replace justice ruth bader ginsberg on the supreme court members of congress have been paying their respects to gainsbourg the 1st woman to lie in state in the u.s. capitol. hill has more on the 87 year old who died last friday and the controversy surrounding the appointment of her successor. a military guard escorted ruth bader ginsburg's casket up the steps of the u.s. capitol honoring a woman who helped transform life for millions of americans it is with profound sorrow and deep sympathy to the ginsburg family that i have the high honor to welcome justice ruth bader ginsburg to lie in state the late supreme court justice was a champion for equal rights for men and women born to a world vastly different from the america today in the 1950 s.

despite her brilliant mind and dog good work ethic she was demoted because of her gender and questioned for taking a man's spot in law school her tenacity and painstakingly thorough legal record eventually caught the eye of president bill clinton who nominated her to the supreme court ginsburg sat on the high bench for 27 years her diminutive size be lying her juggernaut status as a feminist icon for the left and voice for social justice through her scathing dissents. lying a topic had a bill for president abraham lincoln ginsburg broke yet a final barrier becoming the 1st woman and 1st jewish person to be afforded the honor of lying in state at the u.s. capitol. as a lawyer she wanted quality for women and men not in one swift victory but brick by brick case by case through meticulous careful lawyer.

she changed the course of american law democratic presidential candidate and former vice president joe biden was among those who pay their respects at the end of a long struggle with cancer ginsburg dying wish was to have a new president named her replacement to the supreme court polls show a majority of americans feel the same but president donald trump plans to announce his nominee to fill ginsburg's vacancy saturday trump will nominate a conservative judge and senate republicans have the numbers to push through confirmation possibly before the november 3rd election that would give trump a significant victory to tout to his base the creation of an iron clad conservative majority in the supreme court whoever replaces ginsburg could wield key votes for upcoming cases on health care and abortion rights and as the president has acknowledged could even help resolve any legal challenge to the election results

those powder keg circumstances fewer than 40 days before voters choose their president all but guaranteed contentious congressional hearings ahead but for now a last quiet moment beneath the u.s. flag at half mast in honor of a woman who leaves the country more equal for individuals and more divided in politics. castro al-jazeera washington and his fat eco hey now with more on amy connie barrett the judge president trump is expected to pick as ginsburg successor in the supreme court. there are several reports tonight that u.s. president donald trump has selected judge amy kone barrett to take a position on the supreme court now she is beloved by conservatives but this would be a very controversial nomination because of her positions on things like abortion now she has not said that she would rule to outlaw abortion but in the appellate court she has made it much more difficult she has voted to make more difficult for women

to access her pursuit and this is a very important position if she's nominated and confirmed that would mean there would be 6 conservative justices on the court compared to 3 liberals that could change policy for decades to come so the republicans say that they are going to push through with this even though there's less than 40 days till the election i'll point to point out the majority of americans think whoever wins the next election should in fact nominate someone to the supreme court but republicans say they're going to push ahead but they have less than 40 days in till that election so they're going to have to try and get her before all the members of the senate usually they all speak to her one on one that takes time then they're going to have these hearings that are going to be widely watched and then they would have to try to get a vote and mitch mcconnell the senate majority leader can only lose 4 republicans if you wants to keep this vote go and he's already lost 2 so time is running against them but the process should begin with the official naming of the judge on

new cases the government says it isn't planning to get harsher just yet schools have stayed open since march and masks arrest sight 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 careless about social distancing. individual responsibility and sustainability are the pillars of the swedish model although they shy away from admitting herd immunity as a major target for most decisions the government defers to the health agencies chief epidemiology just understand you know. in a 2nd the number of kids just on when you stand in long term regulation in place or when you go into the plans main program but as we know most were homophobic you know on term care facilities it was the devastation of elderly care homes that was behind most of the country's nearly 6000 deaths to date critics now say it wasn't
