have seen how these protests in defiance of those truck kone and laws here in thailand that ban any criticism of the mauna kea and it is punishable by up to 15 years in jail they have marched to the palace grounds they have only been stopped. you know not far from it by the police but they have given their demands to representatives all feel florentines that they are actually criticizing and they are protesting against so this demonstration can be qualified as a huge success for the protest as. you speak of draconian measures are possible to take against protesters and how are the authorities responding so far that. well overall the house been quite lenient we had seen massive barricades being put

up last night close to the government house the siege at the government and the prime minister all so massive blockades in front of the royal palace equipped with bob wires so that actually looked like a military zone so the police basically have confined themselves to just making sure that these protesters would not stormed these sensitive location. but otherwise to have been pretty lenient they have even accepted the petition that the protesters originally wanted to give to a member of the privy council as a representative of the palace in the end they negotiated that the head of bangkok metropolitan police received that document and he vowed to pass it on to the palace will have to wait and see if that really happens well looking forward where can we expect these protests to go that. well tallent might still be in or will probably be in for another very interesting maybe even tens weeks so the

protest has declared today that they will convene again already next thursday in front of parliament where a committee is supposed to set up to discuss gradual reforms of the constitution that was drafted under the military regime. and they have called for a general strike on october 14th so on unless their demands will be met by then they want to have a general strike in the whole country and i don't really see their prime demands namely the prime minister to step down to happen before then so there will be some more interesting times ahead sounds like a real standoff laurean in bangkok thanks so much. in the united states republicans are vowing to push ahead with selecting a new supreme court justice to replace ruth bader ginsburg who died on friday the president trump has pledged to select a woman and says he could make

a nomination as early as next week democrats however argue that the process should only happen after this november's election meanwhile tributes to the late supreme court justice continue to come in. the steps of the supreme court have become a makeshift memorial to ruth bader ginsberg the collection of flowers and cards grew throughout the day. and the eyes of some people in spoke was more than a leading judge a champion of women's rights even a liberal icon. it was because of the work that she's done that i was able to have a good job that allowed me as a single woman to support myself and 6 years to have a family to have reproductive choices that allowed me to. delay pregnancy and till i was ready for it and then to choose to do it on my own. the next supreme court judge could be very different while some grieve ginsburg's
