falls silent. mary. the music world mourns the loss of soprano most said come by you who has died at the age of eighty five. i'm edith king money thank you for joining us dozens of protesters in washington have been arrested just prior to the vote late on saturday for controversial judge bret's covenant for supreme court they were sitting just in front of the entrance of the united states capitol as legislators inside prepared to confirm judge dredd coven on the supreme court the vote is expected to be close but unless there are some last minute changes coming all should get in by at least a couple of votes he's been accused of sexual misconduct by several women when he was younger. and he denies the charges. for more we now cross to washington

to find simone's is standing by on capitol hill so stephan we've just reported that people have been protesting on capitol hill what's the situation at the moment. well things calm down a little bit and of course they have because the protesters which we have seen last time around in our own occupying the stairs of the rich on the building are all arrested or were all arrested now and they are maybe you can see i'm still in the background here they are going to be. put into those buses or or trucks and. brought to a process center and then there will be there will be fined and there will be bail posted and then they go home or come back and do it all over again the plows are you in front of the rotunda still packed with people and let me step back in the picture and of course they're not happy because it's going to be it's going to be in it's going to be in one and

a half hours now at three thirty pm local that they all the senators are asked to be in their seats and what then what's going to happen then is that there will be a roll call and meaning right after that's or with that they will be conformational vote in the senate on the floor for brett kavanaugh next supreme court judge just sorry all right so stuff and we've been reporting that judge confidence come from a confirmation to the supreme court is all but a should but what would it take to actually change this outcome. well what would it take is that two or three republicans which are now supposed to be safe votes and considered to be safe votes for brett kavanaugh are last minute change their minds and vote no but this is really really unlikely i think everybody everybody in political washington has in the books now and comes to the conclusion that brett kavanaugh will move into his new job sites just right behind the return

of building here on capitol in the supreme court next week when he will be sworn in as the new justice at the supreme court the votes were jeff flake we have mentioned those names before senator if arizona susan collins republican senator of maine and lisa murkowski lisa murkowski from alaska heads early on said ok i'm voting no and against having all but susan collins and jeff flake both said they will be voting for. kevin also confirmation after looking into this f.b.i. report which nobody in the public has seen but they and so the republican party itself or the republican senators in the senate are confident that there was nothing in it we should alter their vote for brett kavanaugh as the new sort of additional supreme court judge just so it's. all right so if this unfolds as we expect how big a victory would it be for donald trump's republican party. yeah

it's a huge victory for gold's up in the white house remember two thousand sixteen on the campaign trail he said famously during his speech you can hate me you can love me it doesn't matter if i win i'm going to. alter the history or the future of this country by nominating and putting judges of my liking into into the supreme court and here we go just eighteen nineteen months in his reign or is being president too conservative judges are now on the supreme court given or assuming that mr cavanaugh will be. affirmed and confirmed in just an hour and a half time but this is huge this will change the supreme court it puts it into a more conservative track. to what's the right and this will have an impact on many many issues for this country and will with no doubt also further deepen the split
