this is g w news live from berlin but a recent police crackdown on democracy protesters further anti-government protests in better research followed by more arrests targeting women will cross over to our correspondent in the battery scene compliments for the latest on the program. the reintroduction of strict social distancing measures sparks protests in the hundreds of people gather in the british capital breaking rules limiting public out. plus

the after the death of the liberal u.s. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg political wrangling begins over who gets to name her successor president trump tweets the position should be filled without delay. on public voting yes welcome to the show rights observers say batteries in police detained around to 250 people during a women's march in the capital minsk the weekend demonstrations have become some of the largest anti-government protests since a disputed presidential election triggered unrest in the eastern european country but also bush authorities have begun rounding up protesters in recent weeks but a reason president alexander nuka shanta has been refusing to step down despite widespread calls for him to go and made allegations of vote rigging. in august

election. well correspondent nick conley has being covering those protests for us he joins us now from minsk nic this is the largest number of arrests yet at the women's march why if police started cracking down on female protesters. i think the symbolism of these protests really did encourage more people to come out women there with the women and with their children showing that being gay. doesn't have to be something that is scary that is safe that was the message of these protests in the interest to show that this will not this will not go unpunished you also saw lots of men looking at the girls and women out protesting or ages represented on the streets minsk and kind of felt the need to join in felt kind of pressured into coming because if if women willing to risk it why would they not too so definitely a strong impetus here from the state to crack down these protests and the crucial

thing here is it's not just prison sentences that could follow people being taken to jail for 10 to 14 days off the back of this kind of protest activity but also increasingly threats to people's children. that if you are arrested for this kind of protest then social security might come around and take your child into a children's home so definitely all the stops being pulled out to force people back into keeping quiet certainly and certainly i'm sure causing a lot of ceremony. that today's mass arrests will be enough to actually stop that arisen from protesting next. well it's not been working it seems to have been backfiring this kind of tactic of trying to heavy handedly throw people into the back of police vans has just brought out more people i was there today and the 1st dozens of arrests the women marching today simply refused to move on so within about the same police who had arrested the 1st room were back making more arrests

arresting a journalist again these pictures really doing the rounds in no time at all through social networks so definitely also the impulse there from the police to try and get rid of journalists to avoid these images coming out but they also want that are getting people riled up and in the mood to come out tomorrow for the main march on sunday which has been the biggest weekly march over these past few weeks so nick conley thank you. let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world pro-democracy protesters are rallying in thailand to demand the prime minister's resignation tens of thousands are gathered near the royal palace touring what's planned to be rescanned long protests demonstrators are calling for an end to military rule and a return to democracy. russian opposition leader alexei navalny has posted another picture of himself recovering in hospital the caption of the photo he shared on the social network instagram said his path to recovery was

clear although long vonnie is being treated in hospital after being poisoned with a nerve agent that's been used before against the kremlin critics the greek government says over 200 people have tested positive for a corona virus at a new refugee shelter on the island of lesbos europe's largest refugee camp burned down earlier this month even some $12000.00 people homeless the migration ministry says 3 quarters of them have today moved to a new camp which is already full. well mourners have been laying flowers i've signed the supreme court building in washington d.c. in tribute to the late supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg she died on friday at the age of 87 from pancreatic cancer ginsburg had spent 27 years as a member of the court and had built up a formidable reputation as its most liberal judge her death has led not only to an

outpouring of tributes but it's also kicked off a political battle about who will replace or u.s. president donald trump says he wants to fill her post with a conservative judge as soon as possible. days before her death ruth bader ginsburg told her family she wished her supreme court replacement would be selected by the next president ginsburg was the leading liberal voice on a court bench that already has a conservative majority they decide on major issues such as abortion and voting rights the court can even pick the president as happened in 2000 in the case of bush versus gore current democratic presidential candidate joe biden said ginsburg successor should be chosen after november's election there is no. clear. should pick the president and the president should pick the justice. to

consider but president donald trump says he will fill the vacant court seat without delay just weeks ago he announced a list of potential replacements to become his 3rd supreme court pick. justice ginsburg has self was critical of the politics behind the nomination process i don't know what it will take but we really. well. have someone to. read trying to get. have. flags were at half mast across the country and in front of the supreme court flowers piled up as public tributes were made from across the political divide the search for ginsburg successor threatens to be less dignified. well joining me now from washington

d.c. is rachel rizzo's she's a political analyst and director of programs at the truman national security project iraq show welcome to the show ruth bader ginsburg's death comes just over 6 weeks before the u.s. presidential election how will it impact the rights well this is the last thing that we needed in a political season which is already extremely heated what we can expect is mitch mcconnell has mentioned the president is going to attempt to you know appoint a new nominee to the supreme court and that mcconnell has said mediately after ruth bader ginsburg's death that he would grant votes to president trump your point in the supreme court judge what we don't know is if he will have the votes available to do that senator lisa murkowski susan collins mitt romney have all been on record

saying that a new judge shouldn't be voted on before a new president the question is if they're going to stick with those comments or try to push someone through before the election or immediately after so it does sound like the battle is in many respects already underway i mean essentially just hours after the death of ginsburg do we have any idea of when we can perhaps expect that replacement judge to be to be named. i think we can expect it in the just their short course of a few days there are already names that have been floated in the past that are starting to pop up pretty quickly here on any coney barrett and a conservative 7th circuit judge is one of them a most of the poor is another barbara look these are all conservative judges who you know would would rip potentially replace what was a progressive voice on the supreme court a true vanguard and titan and tireless advocate of progressive causes like abortion

and women's rights and gay rights so the question is who that and replacement might be but the certainty of it is that it would be someone who is conservative right but you've mentioned there some of the of the issues that would be of importance to of course whoever replaces ginsburg how important is that role in shaping you do us in the years to come rachel. it's extremely important i mean one of the big questions over the trunk presidency has been able to appoint conservative judges to the supreme court and the questions that a lot of you know progressive advocates and democrats throughout the country ask is you know what is this need for progress that we've made on issues through you know in the past issues like you know roe v wade which decided you know abortion in the united states years ago what is that what does that mean for the future of you know women's rights and gay rights and things like a firm of action and so i think the those are big questions that i think we're

going to be answering and asking in the coming months you know the hope is that senators what will hold back before voting on this and we see what happens in the november election but you know really this is this is politics at play politics are going to be important here and i think we have a very heated political season ahead of us will result in washington d.c. thank you thank you. well europe is seeing a surge in new coronavirus infections with many countries recording their highest rate since early in the pandemic germany's daily number of new infections exceeded 2200 a figure not seen since early april meanwhile france's rates are soaring well past the 10000 mark per day and in some parts of england new stricter measures have been introduced as infections rise to levels not seen since april with a possible 2nd lockdown looming there protesters gathered in london to voice their

opposition to vaccines social distancing measures and the requirement to wear masks in public many carried placards denying the existence of the pandemic. well for more on this let's bring in our correspondent in london get my ass. there have been more than 4000 new corona virus infections in the u.k. and that's just in the past 24 hours what measures to deal with the surge in numbers are people in the u.k. expecting. well they are probably looking at the north of england and they're seeing that for example hospitality bars restaurants they have to close early and people are really not to congregate in large numbers and to really stick to the social distancing measures soup people are looking at what's happening there it's called the government's whack a mole strategy that the british government has try to impose local lock downs

where they have seen flare ups particular flare ups of the virus however now it seems to be spreading so not just in the north of finland the numbers are even in out across the whole country we've seen problems in scotland and also in other parts of england so people are probably thinking that something like in the north of it is going to happen nationwide so the talk is about strict stricter rules for going out bars and restaurants might only allow tables to have it so that it's being prevented that people are too close to each other and i think probably most of the alcohol is they want to prevent people situations getting out of control and people getting too close to each other basically prime minister barak's johnson said he's been warning about a 2nd wave for weeks now has he done enough to prevent this rise in infections. well not only prime minister blair as johnson has his eye on the 2nd wave from the

experts across europe have been warning that's in we are now approaching water in the schools are starting and people are returning to their workplaces the virus might actually go on and this is exactly what has happened here in britain the people are looking at the government and a lot of people are very very critical and polls show that a lot of british people a majority are not happy how the government has handled the crisis and the expense of pointing out that not enough has been done to prevent the new surge and that for example the testing. he is not bad that should should be clear that it will be clear that one still didn't go back to school and people go back to the office that people would want to have more test all right a tracking system has been a problem he has so lots of criticism for the british government they're going to pass in london thank you well you're watching new news
