and i am learning a lot of our culture history in. detail travel extremely worth a visit. this is did you news live from berlin the u.s. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg as time. the death of the liberal judges 87 gives president donald trump a chance to expand the conservative majority on the court as he faces reelection also coming up. a new bundesliga season starts with a familiar story champions farm unix and shell the packing with an 8 mil browser.

a mix by sir welcome to the program the us supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg has died a statement released by the court said the 87 year old had died of pancreatic cancer at her home in washington ginsburg was seen as a champion of women's rights a popular icon and the leader of the court's liberal wing her passing now gives president donald trump the chance to shore up the conservative majority in the court when choosing a replacement. ruth bader ginsberg was appointed to the supreme court in 1993 the champion of women's rights became only the 2nd female supreme court justice a new 27 years of service she became seen asean question leader of the cult's liberal wing. and there was nothing subtle about it it was women. that.

almost all of this explicit bearing is. what remains is often called unconscious by the supreme court announce can spokes 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 that justice for the senate to consider. but it's a senate fight to fill ginsburg's place on the supreme court seem sure but geology leader mitch mcconnell said a vote on the top nominee would take place with much of u.s. politics hamstrung by the 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 get this. have

a revote. mona slate candles 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 for more insight on this we can speak now to political scientist boris foreman from bach bard college here in berlin can you tell us what is the legacy of ruth bader ginsburg. i mean she's been she's known as a feminist somebody who was very vocal and very strong on women's rights and very successful and so we shouldn't forget that someone who was leading the liberal wing at the moment of start full of or is a she was still able. to fight for her own cause one thing that's also remember remember to serve dissent on an important decision. really 2000 tents so she's been a very strong and very visible. judge almost with

a fair fan base towards the end of his life her life you know she's just passed away but it's an election period in the united states and people are already talking about what should happen next who does it benefit though with the election just weeks away. i mean very generally speaking it benefits trump i mean one of the one of his strong suits has been trying to pack the courts not just the supreme court but. juxtaposition to other presidents he's had no a 3rd possibility to nominate a supreme judge that is quite extraordinary and this will certainly also be his legacy that he has left his mark his mark on the supreme court so i think it benefits him but there's obviously also a contradiction because mitch mcconnell made the opposite case in 2016 that obama should be able to nominate merrick garland at the time for the supreme court now this might backfire to some extent but i don't think it's going to hurt trump and

just in terms of constitutional law and process is it possible for trump to have a new judge before the new president is sworn in it is i mean there's nothing in the constitution that that speaks against that but that was exactly the case of mitch mcconnell was making at that time that the people should decide interesting lee now he's saying he also has the mandate because the senate was well the senators were elected in favor of the republican party in 20162018 so he justifies his own contradictions with a public mandate which is an interesting wording let's say ok political scientist boris foreman from bard college in berlin thank you for much for that very much for that insight. bellerose is bracing for its next weekend of anti-government protests hundreds of thousands have been turning up for the weekly rallies against president alexander lukashenko who won a 6th term last month in an election protesters and outside observers say was

. byron's massive stadium without fans once again local authorities saw spike of corona virus infections as too high to risk lives the home club didn't miss a beat though all of 4 minutes in search can operate took the pass and delivered. yeah sure commish put the long ball on cannot raise right foot cannot break it the rest no one really knew it then but the route was on. up 3 nil if the break newcomer and surprise starter leroy's sunday. to shelter defenders before does she get off to can operate. on sunday who also scored in the goal 1st would help the not break to a hat trick he showed stunning grace behind the shock of defense eventually touching it again over to his teammate. cannot reach their goal and it was 5 nil.

jamaal most eola got in on the act as well the 17 year old scored his 1st goal for the senior squad slotting the ball home to make it 8 no fire and take their 30th win in the last 31 matches fans in the stands or not the message was sent not only to german rivals but those in europe looking to displace the champions league champions. and to take a closer look at all this i'm joined of course by the most attacking from a few sports so we're going to talk a krone 2nd but 1st you saw the game. after the season. what do you make of it the perfect start to see is season i mean i saw a buy and munich team picking up exactly where they left off and they don't just win games but they annihilate their opponents and they did that against child i actually feel really bad for that loss must be so dim or demoralizing and buy into they did this all after just one week of training after just one week of training anything testament to their insatiable appetite for titles the fact that 8 in

a row just isn't enough just doesn't cut it for them i mean they have some kind of super super standard and if you want to make a statement i think the scoreline is also very fitting 8000000 because that represents exactly the number of titles that they have won in the past 8 years compared to the rest of the leak which are at 0 ok yeah certainly demoralizing but i mean is there anybody who could defeat them at any point in time what he thinks is ok so here's the thing teams like sialic and they're not the only ones by a live a cruise and. is now also in the mix these are supposed to be club stat are supposed to challenge by on on a more consistent basis but they not really doing their job 0 and lied to and they've acquitted of course have now also been weakened because they just lost vance and timor vana to the premier league so the biggest hope right now is in dought mind endorsement of course perhaps they are the most capable team of

breaking by and monopoly they have extremely talented young players they have a very solid coach in 5 are but they fold when the going gets tough and they seem to be very inconsistent and we saw that the last 2 seasons last season especially what started off as a very unpredictable title race ended up with by an unique winning again the title and not just winning it but they won by 13 points wow now more or less when you say look question and grown up. to this match today with fans fine played friday. no finance what's up is all german politicians agreed that a stadium can be filled up to 20 percent capacity but at the end it's the local health authorities in the region that have the final say and so initially originally 7500 transfers supposed to watch by a new nick thrash. unfortunate that they didn't because that was have been like a high for buy and fence but because there's been rising coronavirus infections in

the regions the local authorities said look this is too high of a risk so they decided to have this came close to us ok thank you much for that instead of the attack you from sports and you are of course watching t.v. news live from berlin and if i search for watch. any copies in germany to learn german. i look in the. why not learn with him online on hold while i am free to stuff the w.c. learning course because for me. the break is over.
