expertise now, specifically the election, how does it all play into the election, do you think? the hope for the trump the election, do you think? the hope forthe trump campaign the election, do you think? the hope for the trump campaign is that it will, one, fire up the conservative face will, one, fire up the conservative fa ce eve n will, one, fire up the conservative face even more than they already are. i think we will have record—breaking turnouts in the united states and a selection in the hope is that even more conservatives will come out about now. from the democratic perspective, they are hoping this will turn more the focus on the affordable care act, and overturning roe versus wade. i think both parties see some potential on this issue for how it could affect things and how it could potentially help. there was one comment but to me which was, bear with me, but basically, if you have this goes through before the election, you may have many republicans who held their nose and voted for donald trump last time and think, well, actually, now,

i don't need to because the supreme court is there, i can vote the other way, i can but —— vote forjoe biden because the court is there. is that too much? i think in 2016, you did see some of those, the double haters, the people who had an unfavourable opinion of hillary clinton and donald trump, those broke heavily for donald trump in 2016. in 2020, i think if you like donald trump, you will vote for him and if you don't like him, you will not. what about the issue of the coronavirus, and an issue like this, it plays well, do you think it plays well for donald trump, the fact that people aren't all that is responsible? gosh i think it is pretty clear the trump campaign has been trying to ta ke trump campaign has been trying to take the focus of the pandemic, and this is the third of the issues of the trump campaign wants to be

focused on, while the democrats would rather they be focused on coronavirus. yes, what are the key issues or some of the key areas you think some of those issues you mentioned earlier on, abortion, obama care, what kind of area should we be looking at to see have that plays out? the hope from the democratic perspective is that this issue plays in theirfavour and stays with colorado and me. they hope for the republicans is this true issue plays in the favour of some of the conservative states, like north carolina, in a close race there. so they both see ways this could potentially help them in their spaces. jim, thank you so much for talking to us through that so clearly, we really appreciate it, jim hobart, thank you. let's discuss the appointment with emily bazelon, a senior researcher at yale law school and staff writer for the new york times magazine.

thank you very much forjoining us. thanks for having me. so you watched it, you watch that moment, what did you make of it? i think that amy coney barrett is going to be a very deeply supportive justice and the sta kes deeply supportive justice and the stakes of this are enormous for american law and for american people. some of the views she has about reproductive rights, about striking down laws that prevent people from having guns, certain kinds of guns, certain restrictions on guns... there are a lot of laws that she is going to have a big impact on and she is going to move the law in a conservative direction, based on her record. so yes, i would ask that based on her record because we have heard lots about her catholic persuasion, her personal beliefs, people really keen to point out, but let's try and base these predictions on what she will do a decision she has already made, rather than opinion about her

private life or her private beliefs. what are some of the areas you have seen rulings on? i know you may have mentioned a couple there, but you have seen actual rulings on you think and give us a guide to the future? so last year she was part of a 3—judge panel that heard an appeal of someone who had been convicted of a crime and as a result lost his right to have a gun. they're all threejudges were right to have a gun. they're all three judges were republicans. right to have a gun. they're all threejudges were republicans. the other two republican appointed judges said that the statute was valid. judge barrett said that it was not valid. she said that to allow the law to stand to restrict this person's gun rights, someone who had been convicted of a crime, albeit in non—violent crime, she said that would make the second amendment, which guarantees the right to bear arms, into a second—class constitutional right. that is a big shift from where we are right now in american law. the supreme court found in 2010 for the

first time that there was an individual right to bear arms in the second amendment, but they kind have compromised, forged and a lot of state and local law gun restrictions have been allowed to continue since then. judge barrett's ruling in that case suggests that a lot of those laws would fall. thank you forjust spelling that out because that is an example, especially to viewers right around the world, of the real—life impact that the supreme court decisions have on such a huge range of areas of american, of americans' lives. this appointment is for life, as they all are, so this is potentially influencing supreme court decisions for a generation at least. let's take a step back a bit. what do you make of how politicised the appointment seem to be right now? because that hasn't always been the case, previous nominations have had the unanimous backing. that seems unlikely now. we really haven't seen that kind of

confirmation since the 1990s. and i think what has happened is a dawning awareness, particularly among conservatives and republicans, but also among democrats, that while it is true that there are lots of decisions that supreme court justices make that have to do with the words written on a page, the text of the law, in these most important areas like guns, like abortion, others, their own values play enormously into the choices they make. the constitution doesn't speu they make. the constitution doesn't spell out what equal protection means. it doesn't tell us exactly what liberty means. those are big, general phrases, and so justice's personal ideas about what those phrases really amount to carry a enormous weight and i think sometimes conservatives try to pretend that there is one answer that will come from a conservative philosophy, they talk about the regionalism, we were talking about

it earlier, but there isn't one a nswer it earlier, but there isn't one answer that comes from that and judge's values always play into the decisions. 0k, and finally one last question, what impact do you think, if any, this will have on the election on november the 3rd? you know, i think it is really hard to say. donald trump is obviously hoping this will motivate his base. i think conservatives, especially evangelicals. judge barrett was their choice, they were really excited about her and will presumably reward donald trump at the polls. the polls with american voters generally though show most american voters think this choice should happen after the election, and so that suggests some hesitancy about this nomination going forward, typically, so when we talked stop talking about things likejudge ba rrett‘s talking about things likejudge barrett's opinion on things like abortion rights, that is likely to be unpopular with many american people, which does support roe versus wade in many circumstances

for women. thank you so much for talking to us for coming on the programme, emily bazelon. thank you for having me. hello. this is bbc news. iam martin i am martin cox old. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment with jo withjo phillips with jo phillips and withjo phillips and nigel nelson. but first, a little later than usual, i had lines. a quarter of the uk population will be under extra lockdown rules, as new measures come into force across parts of northern england and wales over the weekend. it comes as 1,700 students in manchester are told to stay in their halls of residence for two weeks after a spike in coronavirus cases. the department of health say an issue preventing users of the nhs test and trace app in england and wales logging a positive test result has now been resolved. tributes are paid to a popular and talented police officer killed at a custody centre in south london. sergeant matt ratana was shot, as a suspect in handcuffs was being booked in.

and donald trump has nominated conservative federal judge, amy coney barrett, to the supreme court in a ceremony tonight at the white house. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political commentator, jo phillips and nigel nelson, the political editor of the people and sunday mirror. tomorrow's front pages, starting with the observer. borisjohnson is facing a, "massive parliamentary "revolt" over the way he is imposing coronavirus restrictions without consulting mps, says the observer, calling the new rules "covid diktats."

hundreds of doctors, nurses, fundraisers and volunteers who have contributed to the fight against coronavirus will be recognised in the queen's birthday honours list next month, according to the sunday express. the sunday telegraph leads on a message from prince charles, who has written in the newspaper that "one million" young people could need "urgent help" as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. a "war on toxic us foods" is the mail on sunday's headline , they report on the chefs, celebs and charities who are urging boris johnson to block sub—standard foods from flooding into the uk post—brexit. a donor whose sperm was given to gay couples against his will has won a huge pay—out from an ivf clinic, say the sunday mirror. so, let's begin... with the observer. johnson faces revolt on covert diktats, as poll figures slump. jo, this is a poll

thatis figures slump. jo, this is a poll that is showing labour are ahead of the conservatives for the first time since keir starmer became their leader. yes, which will be great reading for keir starmer, but not such good reading for borisjohnson. it is going to show more doubts amongst conservative mps about the tea m amongst conservative mps about the team at number ten and this feeling thatis team at number ten and this feeling that is going on the back benches that is going on the back benches that you alluded to, martin cox, that you alluded to, martin cox, that there is a sense of growing revolt that parliament is not being consulted. on wednesday, parliament is due to vote on new measures to get a six—month extension tour for special powers to deal with coronavirus, but there is growing revolt which is going to probably see a link between the liberal democrats, the snp and labour, supporting the graham brady, who is chairman of the 1922 committee, which is very unusual to have the opposition parties aligning with tory backbenchers against their own

government. so i think borisjohnson will not have a happy breakfast reading, looking at the observer. what difference though, nigel, might it make to the way the government has approached this? because in march when it was all very frantic and measures had to be brought in very quickly, people seem to wear it a whole lot better than they seem to be known now, that the government was acting without referring to parliament? yes, i think they were. they did refer to parliament, which in fact is what this photo is about because they passed the coronavirus ke pt because they passed the coronavirus kept his act on the first day of lockdown. now, it wasn't rushed through parliament, it was 129 pages, so through parliament, it was 129 pages, so mps didn't get much scrutiny, but it did go through and hence we went into lockdown. i think that because the messaging was so clear then that people did accept it. i mean borisjohnson wasn't sure that we all would, but everyone did. sol that we all would, but everyone did. so i think he is facing a real

problem coming up on wednesday when this vote takes place. at the moment you have got 42 tory mps who say that they will oppose him. now, if they all stick to their guns you are talking about wiping out his majority. what they are really trying to do is to stop him making any further mistakes, so rather than the ministers being able to decide what happens, they want to have a say on it in parliament and be able to veto measures they think are ridiculous. of course, what we have been seeing over the last couple of months is more and more ridiculous measures coming in in the sense that none of them actually seem to come with any real evidence. now we have got a situation where you can have 30 people at a funeral, where people wa nt 30 people at a funeral, where people want to hug each other to console each other and 15 at a wedding. where is the difference? so those are the problem is that i think bpm is facing. let's move on to the sunday telegraph, jo. 1

million young people need urgent help, says prince charles. what sort of help does he mean? well, he has written an article for the newspaper. it is to mark the fact that the princes trust, his charity that the princes trust, his charity that he set up in the 1970s, has helped 1 million young people. and what prince charles is talking about is going back to the 70s, actually, when he formed this trust, about the destructive hopelessness and unemployment that is now rearing its head again and according to a survey by the prince's trust it is a thing thatis by the prince's trust it is a thing that is really worrying so many young people. it is interesting, he says that, hope was scarce then and pessimism was the only thing that was in abundance and that is what we are feeling now, this echo. he is echoing really the message from his mother, the queen, who said at the beginning of lockdown back in the spring and she gave that sort of, we will get through this, we will meet

again, keep your chin up sort of speech. so it is an interesting point and it is obviously very heartfelt because prince charles set up heartfelt because prince charles set up the trust using his severance pay when he left the royal navy and it does amazing work with young people all across the country. nigel, the thing is there are lots of people who wouldn't in normal times be... doing ok. young people who have got the backing of theirfamilies, you have got the opportunity to go to university. even they are struggling now, never mind those who are far more disadvantaged backgrounds. yes, thatis more disadvantaged backgrounds. yes, that is right but i think that young people have borne the brunt of that. most of the hospitality industry is made up of young people. they have been obviously badly hit. and obviously i like what prince charles is saying. i didn't see anything there that would suggest how you actually do it. the question really

is, how you preserve jobs? let's look at the sunday express, nigel. honoursjoy for nhs heroes. this surely will be met very warmly by a lot of people who have been so grateful to the doctors, nurses, daycare workers who have had to work so very hard since lockdown in march. —— the care workers. yes, indeed, ithink it will go down awfully well. one is even better than us all turning out and clapping for carers on a thursday. however, ithink and clapping for carers on a thursday. however, i think what they would prefer would be a proper pay rise, which of course they are still battling for. and this article, jo, also talks about borisjohnson giving that address to the united nations. it was broadcast in new york. asking the world to come together to tackle the pandemic. considering the criticism he is up against from many quarters here, that might sound, ring rather hollow

west that is exactly what i thought, when i heard him. it was a pre—recorded message and i'm afraid his words are becoming more and more empty and meaningless and i think, you know, to go back to the first story we were talking about, the poll in the observer and what nigel was alluding to, the sense of unease and the fact that he is losing his grip. in the beginning, everybody gave the government the benefit of the doubt but over the last few months we have seen u—turns, shambles, mess ups, mixed messages and to go on the world stage, albeit virtually, to talk about everybody coming together to fight this virus, you just sort of thing, yeah, how about getting an app that works? or how about doing some thing sensible and having a clear message? i think he is beginning to talk to himself. i'm not sure he has got much clout on the world stage any more. i'm not sure he has got much clout on the world stage any morelj suppose it is about vaccines, isn't it, as well miss nigel, that it does

require an international collaboration. there are lots of trials going on, but science often transcends international borders. yes, well one of the points the premise was making to the united nations was he was saying that people must come together with these things. at the moment there are about 190 projects going on. he was questioning whether or not it would be better if people are more united. one thingl be better if people are more united. one thing i did like about his speech was his old flourishes of churchill in like language. it was probably the first time that the un has had anti—vax is described as nut jobs. yes, that is a lwa ys always a good tabloid word, isn't it? let's look at the mail on sunday, jamie's wore on toxic food. this is jamie oliver, who isjoining forces with all sorts of other names we would recognise, concerned about the quality of food that might be coming in after brexit. yes, this is

really quite a powerful thing because the mail on sunday has taken up because the mail on sunday has taken up this campaign. basically, jamie oliver, jo wicks, i rani, hugh firmly witting stall, the chef, the rspb and the rspca have all got together to say, don't do a trade deal at the expense of the quality of the food that we put on our plates of our children. and they, including anita rani, have written a letter to the prime minister, talking about, we all want to trade, but let's not enter a race to the bottom. it is notjust about the chlorinated chicken we've all heard about, it is about meat produced with high amounts of antibiotics, crops grown with pesticides that are harmful to bees and a flood of sugary and ultra—processed products. also, nigel, the idea that british farmers could be run out of business? yes stock that is the other danger, especially as we get a

lot of cheap imports coming in. i think the government is so desperate for a trade deal with america they will accept almost any terms. i think it is going to be difficult on this one to actually persuade the government to keep our high food standards. what is interesting about the mailon standards. what is interesting about the mail on sunday article is they have also done a poll that shows that nearly seven in ten people would rather keep our high food standards than have a full trade deal, but i think at the end of the day we are going to have to either take it or leave it. let's look at the sunday telegraph, again, jo. johnson begins... ofcom post, former mail editor paul, not a fan of the bbc. also another critic who could be in line to become the chairman of the bbc board yes, this has been met

with a wave of division and quite a lot of comments from a range of people. they were both brexiting and what it reeks of is cronyism and what it reeks of is cronyism and what it reeks of is cronyism and what it reeks of more than anything is the fact that particularly the chairman of the bbcjob hasn't been properly advertised and hasn't been advertised at all as far as i can tell. paul, nigel will say yes he is good and is a great campaignerfor press freedom, but he is not a broadcaster and as far as i know he hasn't had any experience of broadcasting, so why would you put him in charge of ofcom? he has famously said he doesn't watch television and is very opposed to the license the. you have to write to him,jo, the license the. you have to write to him, jo, suggest that he watches the papers. we could set him a bit of homework couldn't way, ? for open process we hope will take place,

nigel. i don't know charles, but i used to work with paul dacre as a foreign correspondent in new york. i would say he is a great advocate for press freedom. he certainly saw off statutory oversights of newspapers when that was being threatened. i'm not quite for sure he is a great friend of impartial journalism, which of course is what the ofcom job is meant to be about. so he has got his pluses and his minuses. i also like the idea you will probably ta ke also like the idea you will probably take on google and facebook. yes, so it says. let's finish with a picture story on the mail on sunday. after a treat for kate's cuties, this is a private, covid—19 secure, open air viewing at kensington palace of this new film, a life on our planet about david attenborough‘s life, it was watched

by the duke of dutchess of cambridge and their children. that's right. david attenborough met all the royal children and even presented prince george with a prehistoric shark's tooth, which i am sure it will be one the most unusual royal gift he will be getting. yes, apparently i can tell you that it is called a cog for a can tell you that it is called a cog fora qb is can tell you that it is called a cog for a qb is mugler don... i had a go at that, i didn't quite get it right the first time. i wasjust about to say that. where you? yes, apparently isa say that. where you? yes, apparently is a david attenborough founded in malta on a family holiday in the 19605, malta on a family holiday in the 1960s, so there is its story, jo, a nice thing for the cabinet for the prince. yes, i think it is a lovely photograph and obviously it is going to bea photograph and obviously it is going to be a hugely watched a very popular programme. i think david attenborough is now 93, 94 and this film is autobiographical in a sense

because it is looking back on his life and some of the places he has been to in the creatures and the nature of this film, but it is also taking stock of the state of the planet. i have to say that the coordination of blue in this lovely photograph of the family and david attenborough, they must have gone through the blue palette to make everything so perfectly. it does look very beautiful, doesn't it? and the kids look very excited. they are they are fan fans along with eve ryo ne they are fan fans along with everyone else. yes, i had noticed that. and that is it, thank you to jo and nigel, we will be back at 11:30pm with more of the papers. goodbye for now. hello there, over the weekend we

have seen lighter winds and it is felt much more cold than it should at this time of year. over the week ahead, this theme will be pretty consistent over the uk, near—normal temperatures for the start of the week and then from wednesday onwards it gets cooler and more unsettled, much wetter and windier weather to come. at the moment though we have still got that northerly wind and stronger across the south—east of the uk, closer to that area of low pressure, so some windy weather for east anglia and the south—east for a while, although the winds will ease during the afternoon. a lot of that on the eastern side of england, though a drier day than it was on saturday. elsewhere lots of sunshine around after a chilly start and it shouldn't feel too bad in the sunshine, may make 18 degrees in cardiff, but it won't be in chilly in norwich as it has been over the past couple of days where of course we have had some flooding and a lot of rain. as we move into monday, a lot of rain coming in from the atlantic. instead of the northerly

wind, atlantic winds, not as chilly. still got a lot of cloud to clear away across east anglia and the south—east. here is the next weather front bringing patchy rain into western areas ahead of it and then behind that rain we get some sunshine. impetus back up to 17 or 18 degrees, near—normal for this time the year. that weather front marches its way eastwards overnight, not a great deal of rain on it, but it just slows down not a great deal of rain on it, but itjust slows down and comes to a halt really across east anglia and the east of england. a lot of cloud and may be some patchy rain from time to time through the day on tuesday. it looks like a lot of dry weather, sight reading in the weather, sight reading in the weather pattern and some sunshine around as well. those temperatures still up to 60 or 70 degrees at best. then as we head into wednesday this is where we start to see the weather changing and that is because weather changing and that is because we have got an area of low pressure coming in from the atlantic, strengthening the winds and these weather fronts look much more active. for many eastern areas it may well start dry on some sunshine

and it may well clear, but it will slowly move north and east votes. this rain will be heavier as well with some stronger winds, especially towards the south—west, but temperatures still 16 or 17 degrees away from scotland and northern ireland. now, as we move into thursday that weather front moves through, but you are left with an area of low pressure around at that is going to be sitting with us for a little while, i suspect. heading further north, it takes the wetter weather into northern england, scotla nd weather into northern england, scotland and perhaps northern ireland. further south it looks drier, there will be sunshine and some quite strong winds as well. it is cool ere we are saying, temperatures back down to 12—15 , which is lower than normalfor this time of the year. that is because the position of the jet stream is changing as the high level wind flow dives to the south of the uk it keeps us on the cooler side of the jet in the cooler air and with that sort of orientation of the jet strea m sort of orientation of the jet stream in the dip there you find an area of low pressure and that will

drift northwards across the uk, but essentially dominate the weather into the outlook into the following weekend and perhaps into monday as well, so for the start of the new month, so it is essentially u nsettled month, so it is essentially unsettled next weekend and rather cool as well because of the position of the jet stream. it could be some heavy rain at times and some strong winds as well.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. president trump announces the conservative judge amy coney barrett as his nominee for the us supreme court in a move that could have a major impact on landmark legal rulings. today, it is my honour to nominate one of our nation's most brilliant and gifted legal minds to the supreme court. i fully understand that this is a momentous decision for a president, and if the senate does need the honour of confirming me, i pledge to discharge the responsibilities of this job to the best of my ability. thousands of university students across the uk are forced into lockdown for two weeks after a spike in coronavirus cases on campuses. some say they feel trapped and are worried they'll run out of food.
