a world cap like no other before david back and tells al jazeera they will be benefits for the 1st mid season finals and guitar rushes lower house of parliament has approved moscow's claim to annexation of 4 regions in ukraine. for a new law now formerly incorporates her san done yet school hands can zap origin to the russian federation. russian controlled areas held referendums just over a week ago. moscow says people there voted overwhelmingly to join russia. mohammed val reports from moscow tomorrow. the, the senate, which is here called the, the federal council will also ratify this, this treaties. and that is an amendment to the constitution,
9:03 pm
essentially by this amendment to russia will not have 18 ions entities, the makeup of its federation, including the 2 republics. up and yes. can the hans and also the 2 regions of her son and they're already talking about the border, which is going to be traced for new guns and perhaps on the spokesmen of the criminal said the the border will be the same as thought of 2014, when those 2, some declared, the republic, sir, announced independence secession from ukraine with regards to a have son ends up patricia. he said there will be consultations with the people in those regions. we understand that the russia doesn't control or both territories right now, and that it is even losing ground there. so, i mean, it will be a very difficult battle going on for the russians to,
9:04 pm
to reach the boarded up. they are talking about as russians of course, being mobilized. and that means much more fighting needed for the russia stepping up its its forces and resources in order to make to make this a factor. meanwhile, ukrainian troops have launched a counter offensive in the south. honda bill, hamid has more from the city of creevy re well we're just bordering the region of her son from the north. this is a city that comes under regular air strikes, i believe, to be fired from her. so now what's happening is that the ukrainians had been publicizing this sovereign southern offensive since the summer, and then to quite surprise the russians by carrying out and b, a counter offensive in the north east of the country. well now again, while all eyes were only men, the ukrainians,
9:05 pm
it seems decided that it was time to push probably because rainy season is going to come. and the terrain here in the south of the country bay, plaza can become very muddy, making it very difficult for tanks to roll for further south to try to get take control of the whole of the his own region. officially, we're only told that 2 villages have been liberated so far, but there is a lot of chatter on social media. there's also videos on tools for media that's show ukrainian forces. i think the flag in places they have reached and then there's also confirmation coming out from a defense ministry in russia saying that in a place called the local car, for example, the russian forces found themselves overwhelmed by the amounts of tanks the ukrainians had. there is an admission on that side even from the russia and pointed
9:06 pm
governor of care, so that ukrainian army has been managing to push down along the nepa river and in different areas. iran supreme leader says he's heart broken over the death of massa meanie, but ayatollah ali harmony criticized. the protests that swept the country, saying the u. s. in israel, or behind these demonstrations. i mean, he died after she was detained for violating headscarf rules. russel sir, dar reports from tara after 2 weeks of major protests on the cities of iran, they have now shifted to universities as the new academic yourself humbles of people have been arrested during address this is that in polish custody of 22 year old massa mini in mid september, at sheriff university of technology to run, dozens of students were detained after fighting with the security forces. at other top universities in the country's largest cities, students held rallies, despite security forces,
9:07 pm
trying to disperse. the supreme leader accuses foreign powers of engineering. the armrest to destabilize the country, and it is her art madame. he battled the re, i openly state that the recent rights and unrest in a wrong, a schemes designed by the u. s. e, surfing fig. zionist regime. there mercenaries, a for some treasonous iranians abroad, who helped them these rights have been planned. if the death this young girl didn't happen, they would have found another pretext to create chaos in the country and harm the country security. and how money has said massa, i mean is that was heartbreaking for him to. but he criticized people's reactions before the result of an official investigation at fishery. but you're also probably there, the president and parliament speaker have also and asked that a final report on matter. i mean is that will be released soon and anyone found responsible will be held accountable. but many people are already questioning its
9:08 pm
credibility. russell said that i'll just iraq, tara, the british government has made a dramatic, you turn on its many budget that was announced just 10 days ago. chancellor quasi quartet is reversing his proposed scrapping of the top rate of income tax. the announcement of millions of dollars of unfunded tax cuts sent financial markets into a spin with a pound reaching record lows against the dollars. a court thing spoke at the conservative party conference in birmingham a little earlier, and he admitted that his decisions have pause problems. i know the plan put forward only 10 days ago has caused a little turbulence. i get, i get it. we are listening and have listened. and now i want to focus on delivering the major parts of our growth package. because with energy bill skyrocketing at painful, proven ultima war on our continent a 70 year high tax boom, slowing global growth rates and glacially slow infrastructure delivery. we couldn't
9:09 pm
simply do nothing. every pound sterling has been on a roller coaster ride for the past 10 days. let's take a quick look. it was worth one us dollar and 12 cents before the u. k. government announced a tax cuts and then it weakened, falling to $1.09 by monday, had dropped a record low of just over a dollar and 3 cents. so it recovered to some extent last week. the government then made it you turn earlier on monday. the pound has been gaining ground ever since reversing most of the losses since the initial announcement. it was trading at $1.12 at $1600.00 g m t. now the pound has bounce back from his record low against the u. s. dollar, as we said, but it may take a lot more to calm. the financial markets need barker reports from london. it doesn't take a financial expert to read these graphs and understand the turmoil, the british economies facing, but after a week of market convulsions that pushed the pound to an all time low against the
9:10 pm
dollar. now some relief and the response of the government screeching, you turn on their tax cut for top burners. as markets opened across europe, the pound bounce back in value against the dollar. you got the pound rising roughly back to where it was before the many budget a pricing on what we think the bank will do next has changed. so previously we expected to add another 2 percent or so to interest rates. now expecting that to prep at $1.00, so the markets a comma, i think, and i sort of gives the government time to go back to check it's homework if you like. and then come back to the markets in a few weeks with a different forecast in terms of what they can to have to, to spend. and he to borrow energy to cut in terms of government spending. but even after the move, the mortgage market remains in trouble. many house buyers have seen the cost of loans double since the government's many budget with lenders suspending hundreds of offers. the government's financial credibility remains in question. this may be a u turn and the government plan to scrap the top rate of tax for the highest
9:11 pm
earners for this is anything but an ideological u turn. and the government dash for economic growth. a budget that could well still lead into come some public services including welfare, affecting the poorest people in the united kingdom. why? because this, the government ramps up boring to pay for other tax cuts. it also wants to make so called efficiency savings, the prime minister refusing to commit to increasing welfare benefits in line with inflation. while at the same time lifting the capital bank as bonuses in a bit to make britain more attractive to investors. but it's a gamble, many business owners and even bankers by julia davies is a member of patriotic millionaire's u. k. a group of wealthy investors calling on the government to increase their attack share or comes down to an identity, which is improving knox to work and place countries that do well which deliver them as well. so they did on the back of decent taxation, i believe in responsibility,
9:12 pm
community and society. and that causes that can afford to pay tax. so i don't see tax as burden. i think it's something that we should all be cloud and welcome doing and just be glad that we can afford to do it. after years of economic stagnation, the government wants to hotwire the economy into action to embolden trade, the prioritize growth and economic project. government critic se works for the few . instead of the many need parker, al jazeera london with us now from bristol, in england is joe michel. he is an associate professor of economics at the university of the, of west england, of the west of england. as an economist, jo, what's your point of view on this tax? you turn? i think it's symbolic in that the handouts to people at very high income. so for example, somebody on a 1000000 pounds a year would be getting an extra $50000.00 pounds a year at the same time as the other measures that we saw was probably more
9:13 pm
important than the economic impact overall. this tax cut was worth about 2000000000 in a package of tax cuts worth about 45000000000. so it's quite a small amount. and the economic effect, i think, is fairly limited. it wouldn't have had much effect cutting the tax because the wealthy don't tend to adjust their spending very much. their consumption patterns are fairly fixed because they can afford to decides regardless of their income. so on the contrary, not making the tax cuts, i think likewise, will not do very much to economic growth. they weren't effect consumption very much . you weren't in effect investment very much. but i think the important element here is the fact that overall, the package course. so much consternation and volatility in the markets and now that the chancellor has uter and i think regaining credibility is going to be a more difficult issue. well ok, well let's address that credibility because we just heard in that story, the report that we ran, we heard was the court thing, you know,
9:14 pm
standing in the labor party conference and said okay, i got it wrong. i listened and now we changed it. it seemed, you know, not my job to, to judge his response, but it, it sounded sincere. what do you make of it? well, the markets reacted to that, the package of unfunded tax cuts the $45000000000.00 overall alongside capping dave, the gas price. i think capping the gas price will be energy prices ah, on its own, wouldn't have caused a great deal of this volatility because i think it's widely understood that it's the only real way to get the economy through the next 6 months. although it could be better targeted in some ways. so most of that $45000000000.00 of unfunded tax cuts is still out there. the reason i think the markets of stabilized is that what quoting dig was did was trigger a sort of feedback loop to do with pension funds and requiring liquidity. and the bank of england stepped in and halted that feedback loop. but the sense that really,
9:15 pm
this is a government that doesn't know what it's doing, it doesn't look no matter how sincere your apology doesn't look credible to come in . very quickly put through a fiscal that a package is and then you know, stick to it for a few days and say, well, we'll actually, we, we changed our mind rate, we accept those mistake. yeah. so if we take a step back then that this government at 2 objectives with this budget one is help economic growth. and the other is help middle and working class families that are hit by inflation and rising energy prices are, are those 2 goals achieved in your sense? i'm not sure that either is achieved growth. i see no real connection between the policies. put forward, as you say, support in terms of capping energy prices, which i think is the right thing to do because the, the suffering and destitution and therefore we can kick would have been enormous without that price kept. but the rest is tax cuts and it's tax cuts waited very strongly towards the upper end of the distribution. people on average income getting maybe $3400.00 pounds a year, which will very quickly be eroded by this,
9:16 pm
by inflation compared to tax bands. but more importantly, why interest rates going up on mortgages? i don't buy far outweigh that extra few 100 pounds for probably the majority of households, or least the majority of homeowners. so it was never going to be a growth package, i don't think. and that's really where the problem is, i think coming back to the market. if the market's believe this package would have generated growth, then it probably wouldn't have generated the, the instability that we saw. so i don't see growth coming from this package and the distribution and last but the, but you mention, i mean, aside from the limited support for household in terms of the energy cap, most people will see their energy bills rise regardless apart from that, they're going to see higher inflation, higher food prices, higher interest rates feeding through to higher mortgage rates. but i think it was going to be a real squeeze for most people and mcglatian, joe michelle, we appreciate your insight. thanks for your time today. thanks very much. and
9:17 pm
plenty more head on the news, our, including brazil's former president edges closer to becoming its future president. but you'll have to face off with the current president in another round of voting and stories of survival. we speak to people in indonesia who made it out alive after a stampede of football stated why the world tennis number one has called the end of season schedule as not face far as the details in sports? ah . the nobel prize for medicine has been awarded to dante payable for his work on human evolution. tevo says his research is a window into our distant past. the thing that it's amazing to me is that you now have some of the list. if you go back in time and actually follow genetic history and genetic changes over time. and for me is particularly
9:18 pm
fascinating to do that in our own vintage for humans and our kills relatives now to tell us in the next few months. but this is not just for human evolution, of course, it is for many groups in the world of studying many organ this plan, $16000.00, i'm old pathogens and so on. it's a possibility to begin to actually look on evolution in real time. if you like, houses are interviewed a member of the nobel committee and she explained to us why peebles findings help us understand humans better. sante pebble receives this prize for helping us understand what makes us homo sapiens, unique from our closest, our relatives, extinct home on at home and ends. neanderthals and denise abides. it's really important because we've been curious about that. i think for ever you, humanity has been curious about our origins for ever. and so because of his
9:19 pm
discoveries were able to understand at the genetic level, the level of dna, the code of life, what makes us different and unique from these close relatives. we can start to understand some of these genes that we carry that are different from these extinct holman ends. and we can understand why they're important for our, our function. our physiology, in some of these genes may be related to cognitive function. some of these genes may be related to our immune response, their genes that we've evolved with. and that makes us unique. what he was able to show at a genetic level, at the level of the dna code. more information about how we moved and came out of africa. so neanderthals were living in europe over a half a 1000000 years ago. we, homo sapiens, came out of africa about 75000 years ago. and when we came out of africa,
9:20 pm
we mixed with neanderthals. in the middle east, and we picked up some of the genetic code from neanderthals. when we had offspring from mixing with neanderthals. so we now know that we, homo sapiens, carry about one to 2 per cent of dna from neanderthals. so we know that from his work and brazil's presidential elections have been inconclusive, and that means 3 more weeks of campaigning. the poll hasn't gone as predicted, and with 99.9 percent of the bellows counted, let's take a look at the results. reason our seo low to so has managed a slightly with 48.4 percent of the vote. also, now not too far behind with 43.2 percent, or run off will be held on october 30th, or latin america editor lucy newman, reports from south polo nama cargo. the selection is a nail biter and supporters of left his presidential candidate lucy. now to let the
9:21 pm
silva, i worried polls had predicted that the former president would defeat the courage. right wing president, james bull seattle by a double digit margin. his lead, instead, just 5 percentage points. yet lula remained a beat insisting he was certain to win the presidential run off on october 30th. again, we're little bit, i've never won an election in the 1st round of one them all in the 2nd round. all of them here in the run off. what's important is the change to think thoroughly on what to propose to society and build a network of alliances ah tended to support is gathered on police to avenue to cautiously celebrate the result. luna supported here are sounding on being optimistic that they will win in the ronald goodwin nixon is that the bulls were wrong and, and also not can not be underestimated. visited bull sonata is no contesting the
9:22 pm
results as he had suggested he might. instead, he had reason to celebrate his political party has become the number one force in congress. what he believes that his 2nd term is now only 28 days away. oh said to me, i recognized that many people feel their standard of living is full. and now we will show them with greater emphasis that we recognize are spending power has diminished, but also show that our economy is recovering well as a muslim. this already divisive election could become even more divisive in the coming weeks present both on out of his really questioning the capacity of the electoral jeff if and of the electro electronic system to work properly. and so to give him what he believes, that the only acceptable result that he does is victory. resilience now face another 3 weeks of intense campaigning in election in which the outcome is even more uncertain than before. lucy and human al jazeera. so out of brazil,
9:23 pm
let's build into this matter. well report joins us live from brazilian manuel. so lula has 48 percent point 348.3 percent of the vote. that's 5 percentage points ahead of balsa narrow is very close to the 50 percent mark. he needs to become president. how safety you feel that lead is well, at this point, the scenario that we saw play out on sunday night selection is very much the scenario that was forecasted. what many people were expected was going to happen. but in terms of how things are looking right now, i think a lot of people here in brazil were sort of hoping that to run off would be avoided according to electro law. here, brazil, a candidate like you mentioned need that the very least 50 percent of the vote plus one vote in order to avoid a run off. neither president both are or presidential or either president variables or for president lula. we're able to reach that threshold so they're now going to
9:24 pm
go head to head at the end of the month in this run off election on october on october 30th. right now, president fernando is in plan alto. that's the presidential palace behind me. he's meeting with his political advisors getting everyone back in that campaign mindset . he's trying to strike new political alliances. this is not going to be easy for either these candidates. you know, the polls, as we heard in lucy newman's package and seen him. it's report that we just heard moments ago, the polls were off pulls were way, were were wrong. so it doesn't necessarily mean that either candidate is a better position than that they were expecting to be. both of these candidates are going to have a hard time moving forward. so this is very much getting right back into this campaign season. and what we were, what i was saying before about people wanting the, the sort of run off to be avoided. if for no other reason to avoid or to put an end to what has been marked as one of the most politically divisive and polarized elections in brazil's history. a lot of the polarization driven by the rhetoric
9:25 pm
from the 2 candidates, each one of them painting the other is a sort of radical. on the one hand, you have former president lula to silva who's been painting president jadem ball. so nato is this sort of right wing, anti democracy, anti environment candidates. president bull sonata painting, former president lula as a left wing radical saying that he's going to push brazil and the rest of latin america for that matter into communism. so a lot of people were hoping that would run off would be avoided. that's not going to be the case. it's not going to be easy for either of these candidates moving forward. nonetheless, this has to happen. it's going to happen on october 30th when brazilians headed the bulls once again to choose their next president. manuel they're both chasing now the same group of voters, right. the voters who voted for other candidates in the 1st round and now have to choose among the 2. for the 2nd round, do we know where those votes are likely to go? this is, this is what we're saying that things are going to be really tough,
9:26 pm
especially for the lula camps. i think a lot of people are seeing those numbers from last night and or, and, or thinking, oh wow, this is a victory for president lula. the silver he got $48.00, just a little over 48 percent of the vote. presidential bull sonata getting some around 40 a little more than 43 percent of the vote. some people see this has a very clear victory for president little of the film but, but we have to perform for the former president. but we have to keep in mind that there were 11 candidates in this rates, 11 presidential candidates and not a single one of those candidates is an ally of president a former president. lulu, if you were one of our viewers happy to catch any of the debates in the lead up to this 1st round of the elections. they know that moving forward for the former president's going to have a very, very hard time swaying voters away from those more than 4000000 votes that went to these 11 other candidates. it's going to it actually, if you, you could argue that it's the that the both so now to camp is in
9:27 pm
a far better position now than many people were expecting him to be after this 1st round. ok, that's really interesting. always have to look at the king makers and where they might be voting. all right, thank you very much metal over paula with the latest from brazil you there. meanwhile, no. claire winter had emerged after bulgaria elections. it could be a while before governing coalition can be coupled together and with an uncertain political future in a week economy. many young people are wondering about their future. andrew simmons reports from sophia it's the start of university for these students in sophia. some of them talk about the stagnation of politics in that country. but there's also a weary acceptance of people who want a better future will leave bulgaria remaining here and having to deal with all of this is usually the hardest past to take. not many people are added to that period bulgaria, our petition, steel. the chief book were left with nothing.
9:28 pm
the generation politics in bulgaria has been in crisis since major protest last year against corruption. young people played a big part in the demonstrations and the action brought about the fall of a government lead then by boy cope or resolve. and now he's back his party winning the most votes in this election, or is off is seen particularly by the young man who represents the past rather than the future votes in this election, went in favor of the status quo rather than change. now, boris off has to try to put together a coalition. it won't be easy because he has far more political enemies than friends. it's during his decade of power, the moon, a 1000000 bulgarians left their homes to seek better living standards overseas. like the owner of this bar and restaurant running
9:29 pm
a successful business in spain. his customers look on their former home now as a distant place with big problems. cohort of the, all of the congress are having difficulty just now. this is because of the war. there is a crisis in every county, not gasper of area is not good. if i'm honest and back home, many people are just worried about the number leaving bulgaria. it's also those they leave behind. their imagination is much more connected with the past them, with the future. ah, and this is something that will guarantee politics will have to fight. they will have to create conditions for the youngsters to return. also, in order to make their parents and grandparents be buried, the will game is situ. again, there is a major gap between the young who want change and older people who look back fondly
9:30 pm

it's bad news. i think the person who spoke in that piece that you clicked that you just had with. absolutely right. this is the time for urgency. if you need to, urgently act to try to save the country. the problem is that a crew by definition, does nothing to do, that it does not advance any sense of urgency. all it does is it creates it. so it's basically a destruction and creates a time in which everybody has to sort of sort will, who's going to be in control of water and what do you do, what that policy is going to be? it's not clear that the new regime has any bright ideas about how to approve upon the outgoing machine. so ultimately it's, it's a when it's a, it's a loss of time. when most agreed that can possibly has very little time. but wait, the reason i ask you the question is that the knew who to leader is the former head of the special forces that fought in the north are more responsible for securing the north. so because of that, or on account of that,
9:40 pm
do you think that he might be more able than someone else? just stabilized, stop. it was the the previous guy who's the special horses beater. but in the new guy is a artillery captain. but either way, it's not clear, i mean, the old guy did have some notion of so i think i'm confusing that with the molly and quit the liter. um, the, i mean there's a possibility that they have some ideas, but the question is, what exactly? and turning around the large bureaucracy like a military, like an army. but it's not so easy. it's just, you know, it's easier said than done to say are we get, we have to do be forms. ok, great. what the forms, how do we didn't we forms what exactly the forms to me but had been putting they certainly forms he'd been doing things to try to improve the situation. we can debate about the value of what he was doing, but he, the weight was doing certain things in the new group again, unless they have already a very elaborate found that the route of their pocket with details about what their plans are,
9:41 pm
what the reforms are chances are this group just going to be last time as they try to get up to speed and try to figure out what are the actually going to do. then everything takes time. the other problem is that even if people have the best ideas, the situation is so complex and the problem so massive that it just takes a while. right? and i realize that the brick cannot be public really demands quick action. they want to see results because everything is going so badly. unfortunately, the crisis is such that it's hard to expect anything quick, even in the case of the best leader with the best ideas and the best notion of how to move forward. so is it possible that ben it appears we have lost the sound for michael shorten for shirking from the atlantic councils . think thank just wanna confirm they're the new leader of booking to foster was indeed the former head of the social forces that were fighting jobs in the north
9:42 pm
secondary state. anthony lincoln is on a week long tour of latin america. first, stop columbia, where he's meeting with new president, gustavo, petro, petro reopened the border with venezuela last week. he also reestablish diplomatic ties with the country. the u. s. on the other hand, has had no formal diplomatic relations with venezuela for over 3 years and refuses to acknowledge nicholas madura as its leader alexandra ramp. dfi is life for us in the sandro. so the current colombian president 1st left his president in columbia. that's perhaps not the most natural ally for the us who has traditionally enjoyed good relations with columbia. absolutely, but the truth is that so far both relationships are still good. and i think that it's telling that this is the 1st stop by the us secretary of state on the latin american and trip. and i also the, at the think it's selling the fact that it's happening very quickly. after that.
9:43 pm
now duration of gustavo pedro, the 1st left the spread in the, in the history of columbia. i think it shows that the us is, wants to maintain a good relationship with this country. remember that columbia in the us have had a strategic partnership on a number of issues. obviously, the most important one being security and the war on drugs for decades now. and colombia has always been very close and is for in policy with us and what the u. s interests in the regions were now obviously as they are worrying of how this could change with bay through. but so far we understand that the dialogue that the to administrations have had have been positive overall. i think that the 2 main issues that will be discussed today will
9:44 pm
be how to change the war on drugs. that's because we have a pit that has been absolutely clear throughout the campaign since becoming president. and now, recently with the speech he gave in new york at the un general assembly, insisting that the war on drug, the way that has been waged for the last 40 years, has been from his perspective, a failure that has had major dramatic consequences for latin america. and in particular for producing countries like columbia, he wants to see it change there. and he would like to see essentially a moving of some of the funds that the us band on that were on drugs here on when he to be invested in development and carrying up the environment, giving more opportunities to farmers that work in these areas. this obviously
9:45 pm
crashes with the classic vision that the american government, the pads of the blowing all the power of the d, a in the ca, in the region. and we're going to have to see what they're going to say when they're done with their work blanche on these issues in a press conference later. all right, al, sent around p eddie reporting life from bullet in columbia. thank you very much. it's a historic day. the u. s. supreme court, where the 1st black female judge has taken her seat katasha brown, jackson was appointed by president joe biden. earlier this year, one of jackson's friends has honored her with an ard piece that will be displayed in her chambers. heidi joe castro reports. this is a job that requires a lot of patients and a lot of scalpels. i will go through on a piece like this. may be 802200, number 11 scalable blades. crag tincy is understated when describing his art. you
9:46 pm
know, in 1st grade, when you made snowflakes, it's nothing like that said i take a piece of paper and i cut holes in it. tens of thousands of holes, each one carefully cornered or rounded to create a pattern that upon taking a step back comes alive as an image which is waiting for the front and look at the shadow that my precise design shows up really shortly. harriet tubman, frank sinatra ballade, amir zalinski have all had their images captured by tin ski scalpels. but he says his latest piece is, is specially meaningful. it will adorn the judicial chambers of u. s. supreme court justice kit tanya brown, jackson, jackson, i work literally over a year since he grew up with jackson in miami, in the 1980s where he says, she stood out as a brilliant student and role model. it was a time when the city was gripped by racial tensions triggered by police brutality
9:47 pm
toward black people. there were riots, we couldn't go out of our house. and could tanya brown was the class president in that white school last spring jackson's nomination by president joe biden. was celebrated by liberals, but derided by many conservatives. some right wing t. v. commentators deliberately mispronounced her african 1st name, prompting tin ski to creep, holsters with the message kit tonchee is another word for justice. the united states and the constitution will be great beneficiaries of her appointment. legal scholars expect, jackson to carry on the legacy of the late justice ruth bader ginsburg, and the retired stephen briar. both liberal stalwarts on the high court now dominated by conservatives. jackson did not take part in last summer's block buster abortion case on tuesday. she'll hear a case involving legal protections for black voters. i think that i would look to
9:48 pm
her to be your hero for, for individual rights. hence, he's our piece for jackson shows the female figure of justice beside the supreme court's entrance. he says it's the perfect symbol to celebrate the doors of justice opening for his friend, heidi joe castro al jazeera washington. so content, brown, jackson, rewriting the history books. let's explore her role in this supreme court. kimberly, how could join me allow for life from washington? what impact, kimberly, do you think country brown jackson might have on this court? well, this is significant in not only is this an opportunity for president joe biden, that he's kept a campaign promise to voters, but what impact this has is for the 1st time, this is the largest number of women that are sitting on the supreme court. you have to remember that now, this is only the 3rd time that an african american has sat on this court,
9:49 pm
which has significant in and of itself. but at the makeup of the court now looks more like the united states in terms of its diversity. no longer is this, a court made up majority of white men and so this will have an impact on how the cases are decided. still, this is a conservative majority court. this will still largely be cases that are decided along liberal conservative lives. but at the same time, the fact that there are now the most women sitting on this chord and u. s. history is significant. and so many voters believe that this will have an impact. now, this is critical, given the fact that when you look at the poles, there is low public trust in the supreme court. particularly given that blockbuster case that hydro cast referenced in her story just a moment ago, the overturning of the federal protections with regard to the right for
9:50 pm
a woman to get an abortion in the united states. so a right now the majority of americans do not trust the court. we're heading into a very contentious season. this court will have to decide cases that involve race, boating, rights, free speech, and a number of other high profile issues. and so the fact that this is the most diverse court that we've seen is going to have a tremendous amount of impact in deciding these cases. but also in building the public trust that right now is so very waiting and is going to really be needed as there is so much skepticism. i. kimberly hallett reporting live from washington. thank you very much. i still ahead on al jazeera tom brady is 2nd best in this meeting of 2 of the animals greatest ever quarterbacks are i have the details of it . ah
