. there were. women. that. almost explicit. what remains is often called unconscious by the supreme court announced death in a statement saying she died with her family at her side president trump was given the news after addressing a campaign rally in minnesota. basically. what else can you say she was an amazing woman. she was an amazing woman. in there. thank you very much. trumps democratic presidential challenger joe biden also paid tribute to ginsburg but said her successor should not be chosen until

after the upcoming election but there is no doubt let me be clear that the voters should pick the president and the president should pick just those 4 to consider. but it's a senate fight to fill ginsburg's place on the supreme court seem sure majority leader mitch mcconnell said a vote on the top nominee would take place with much of u.s. politics hamstrung by deep polarize ation the makeup of the supreme court is crucial in shaping law on fundamental issues such as abortion but justice ginsburg had a critical view of the politicize ation of the nomination process i don't know what it will take. but we really should get back. to the way it was when people were examining the qualifications of someone to be.

rather than trying to guess how they would vote. mona's that condoms for ginsberg on the steps of the supreme court while there was praise for her legacy from across the political divide the search for her successor threatens to be less dignified. and let's cross over now to taylor millard a correspondent for n.b.c. news radio in dallas texas tell us what is the legacy of ruth bader ginsburg so ruth bader ginsburg's legacy is going to be one where actually she was respected by everyone regardless of whether they agreed with her or not if you look at the way people have responded to this whether they are republican democrat libertarian green party they all have respect for her and she's a she was a pop culture phenomenon the notorious r

b g she was remember she's going to have a really good legacy even if not everybody agrees with her opinion stet she doled out when she was on the court and we're in an election now just over 6 weeks away until a new president is chosen by the american people who does her death benefit. that is a really interesting question because there are multiple ways you could look at it from a republican standpoint it could be galvanizing because obviously she was the head of the liberal wing so you could look at it as evangelical christians are going to come out and vote on in mass for president donald trump because they hope to get the roe versus wade bill got your bill decision gotten rid of a you could look at it as galvanizing for the left because they say joe biden picks

somebody who is or says he's going to nominate somebody who is well respected who is well seen it could end up being a flash point there with more liberals and more democratic socialist deciding they will go and vote for joe biden so it really remains to be seen it could benefit both money really depends on how the political candidates. go forward. the way it was of course a decision that enshrined the woman's right to have an abortion as a skit to what's going to happen next is it possible to have a new judge before a new president is sworn in it's possible however the president was set in 2016 when mitch mcconnell said that he would not hold hearings or vote on president former president obama's choice in america garland to be on the supreme court mcconnell said he wasn't going to hold hearings on it he was going to

wait until the next election so he would be basically going against his own words if he decided to go ahead and slam through a vote over confirmation hearings even this close it would be really hard to get a nominee through but still possible ok taylor millard thanks so much for that. and we turn out it's highland where pro-democracy protesters are gathering in large numbers to demand the prime minister's resignation and reforms to the monarchy tens of thousands are expected to turn out for a weekend of rallies maybe the biggest protest since the 2014 coup when now prime minister. took power the student demonstrations are calling for democratic reforms and changes in tough laws against criticizing the royal house. plan for sunday the authorities have warned against holding them amid fears that the coronavirus could spread rapidly among demonstrators and for more on all this let's cross over now to

a watershed moment for thailand because the organizers say they're expecting up to 100000 protesters gathering here in bangkok this weekend and is there any sign florin that the government is willing to listen to these demonstrators or bow to their demands. well they have been very mixed signals during those recent weeks on the one hand over the course of the last weeks police seem to be quite lenient. i already mentioned how often protests in the in the previous weeks and police have basically just of deserved those protests. some of the student leaders about a dozen of the student protest leaders had been detained for a few days but have all been released on bail so they're all going to be at the protest today but at the same time we're hearing that today police have already confiscated some protest materials some leaflets and booklets banners. and you

already mentioned there has been this speech by the prime minister couple of days ago where. basically urged and said yes i'm hearing you i'm hearing what you're saying maybe we should slowly you know change our constitution but maybe this is not the right time because of the pandemic and critics say he's just using health reasons as a pretext for cracking down on these protests. ok florian thank you for that insight. let's take a look now at some of the latest news on the penn demick across the world. guatemalan president alexander jemmett today says he's tested positive for corona virus that says the central american countries face stiff travel restrictions imposed months ago to contain infections the region at the heart of australia's outbreak is on course to relax restrictions victoria's state reported its slowest daily increase in new infections in 3 months and france has registered another
