this is deja vu news live from berlin the us supreme court could get a further push to the right donald trump announces federal judge any county sheriff to the country's top court if the republican controlled senate confirms or it could insure a conservative law court decisions for decades. and africa confounds predictions and avoids the worst effects of the pandemic the continent fares better than the industrialized world will find out why. the bonus legal football outscored locked

horns with dortmund on saturday in a david versus goliath match. i'm way i'm glad welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump has nominated conservative federal judge any conant bear to succeed supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg an outspoken voice of the court's liberal side who died earlier this month if confirmed by the republican controlled senate trump will have put 3 of the 7 justices on the top court possibly handing conservatives long sought wins over contentious legal issues like abortion and gun rights in a news conference the president praised barrett as a woman of remarkable intellect and character. the stakes for our country are incredibly high rulings that the supreme court will issue in the coming years will

decide the survival of our 2nd amendment or religious liberty their public safety and so much more to maintain security liberty and prosperity we must preserve our priceless heritage of a nation of laws and there is no one better to do that than amy kone barrett let's get more now joining me here in this 3rd unocal ranvir from the german council on foreign relations and our washington bureau chief in us paul innes let's start with you we just heard from trump at the news conference judge barrett was also there what was your impression of her. well you know both president trump and judge burgess of talking very or spoke very humble. laid to ruth bader ginsburg judge perry admitted to really clear that she sees

herself kind of standing on her shoulders that she sees her appointment not as a no political appointment but that she is committed to the constitution and that she that's what she said at least would put her personal stands behind she also talked about a family she has 7 children 2 of them are adopted from e.t.v. so you know listening to her you really got the impression that she's a very smart open minded person and in that regard i think she was really able to reach out to people who were kind of skeptical about this nomination. the cold turning to you the supreme court you know it states it plays a very unique role people around the world are maybe looking at this rather curiously why is the supreme court and who sits on it so important in the united states. start with the 2nd question 1st the political

appointees we see being at the justice very different from what you would see in germany at the federal court. so there you already see the political debate takes place also in the supreme court and the supreme court is there to control the senate and the congress and because of this political appointee set up if the discussion continues that this is why and why the supreme court is so important also the decisions the supreme court makes a far reaching and far more groundbreaking and they determine the society. past the united states would be going to and this is very different. from one when you look at different of it at that democracies we always see republican presidents will appoint conservative justices democratic presidents will appoint liberal justices what impact could barrett's confirmation have on this court well 1st of

all the decision is the decision and now it's very interesting because it comes at a time when this society about all the political washington is extremely polarized so 1st of all we might see a shift to the right in that this decision making process off the court but at the same time also that a push to the basis that you know the republicans are looking out. very interested in the supreme court the decisions i'm talking to them so we might all to see effects on the senate and on the not to the political situation and not you know at the supreme court so it will be a remarkable what will come out of this in the next few months. any supreme court confirmation hearing is contentious this one is coming on the heels of an

even more contentious election what's that going to mean for the campaign. right you just learned that the hearings will stalled 12 so what does it mean i mean it is kind of a reminder how important it is who is in the white house so this is kind of a call for action for the republican voters you know because i mean not only. able with barrett to pick his 3rd judge he might actually if he wins another term be able to judge another supreme court justice and then that really would summon the kind of political direction the same supreme court. oh and there is another maybe a sidekick you know coming. the democrats vice presidential candidate she is a member of the judiciary committee that means that she has to be back in

washington and that she can't complain. interesting well we're going to be watching this closely how it all unfolds in this poll in washington nicole rembert here with us in berlin thank you both very much. and let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world the prime minister designate of lebanon has resigned his stuff and also apologized to the lebanese people for his failure to form a new government he was tasked with forming a new cabinet after the previous government resigned amid a protest over august devastating blast in beirut. in bellerive security forces have arrested women protesting in the capital minsk the opposition organized the demonstration ahead of an alternative inauguration next week for movement leader. public anger against alexander the shank those years long grip on

a fair system that guarantees a good life for everyone gas supports a fossil system that exploits both people and nature. and something else new due to the pandemic the activists started from 10 different cams all over the coal mining region in western germany. also put its isolation is somewhat confusing because of this year we no longer have one central camp from which the activists start their protests instead there are several small camps around the open cast mine we talk about. 7 police and demonstrators clashed around noon in villages near the mine the protests are going to is shared a video online that shows police using pepper spray to keep demonstrators away. powerplant employees showed little understanding for the protesters actions but. we're doing what everyone else is doing trying to support our families and do our

in here thinks he's a country that i not. yet needed to take for this drama. it's all about hey. i'm rachel join me for me to jam and sunday w. . post. could speak received theory. in the bundesliga. that's

something worth checking out so we got our best man on the case. welcome to a beautiful morning in reno felt oh well the thing is newest love of all media and been there before bob has been a long. winner with the mom. and the son load. the view from the castle child is fantastic but not all this is it seems and beautiful. in germany there are rumors that the city is hiding and dot secrets so ridiculous it sounds like something from a netflix series. i'm hunting for the truth.

or so what is this conspiracy. well this is all going to sound a little crazy frankly it sounds stupid to me so let me try to explain this as simply as i can. since the mid ninety's a joke has been causing bielefeld a little bit of a headache basically someone came up with a satirical conspiracy theory that the city doesn't actually exist but i'm here in being a fellow and it feels pretty real to me. there's a good chance you've never heard of bill or felt before but that some just time it will be the felt is an ordinary german city apart from an earthquake in 1612 nothing exciting has ever happened here except in 1971. he kind of

how you cannot make. quick history lesson $971.00 was probably the city's darkest hour its club media was involved in a match fixing scandal during its 1st top flight season it made headlines and suddenly good old boring bielefeld was in the brightest of spotlights dead a country that's got its positive you stephen so the then this down from the guys who puts. the helpful advice he put said to be the fed says it is yes i'm a little for the science he puts in as has been kind of us fall and us scene put sent dead bullets dodged the focal was a. so this can dad. does how do. you count has got here sorrow the scandal at least brought bielefeld out of obscurity although some still deny the place exists at all what can you do there are some crazy people around i can confirm it's real and that there is absolutely

nothing weird going on in bielefeld. nothing. much. how did i get here. maybe something strange is happening after all. armenian midfielder said he looks as confused as i am. anyway what's he got to say about promotion. i think it's for every player dream to be on top. of the best league in your country and so for me it's the same in all of those in the limits it's in on i think we have had enough time to realise it and now we all are happy to start the preceding into to get ready for the winter. let's hope they're ready they haven't always enjoyed their time in the top flight. this side used to be known as an

elevated cup going up and down every other season but they actually haven't been in the bundesliga since 2009 and even spent time in the 3rd division but after a storming league dominant display last year but they only lost 2 games back in the big time we can enjoy every match nobody is like ok today we have to win but we want to win because we are all that we all are sportsmen and we are not in the 1st division 2 to enjoy every moment but go down after one season not season in the end it was like a pressure every match because you need to win because everyone is like ok you have to win you have to win and others want to see you fall down or lose some points and this season it's completely different. they certainly won't be expected to win a free game in the bundesliga. a season of classic underdogs always. seen these players up close and you can really feel their excitement and energy.

fresh grass on a football pitch the best smell in the world i love my job but now it's time to head home. it's been a bit bizarre but just one more trip up the tower to take in the sunset and then it's bye bye felt i wonder if i'll ever find myself back here again.

hello welcome to a beautiful morning in the felde home of the. they've been there before but not way i've been here before. something bizarre is definitely going on. at least there's still plenty to say about i mean. for one thing i didn't even mention the ground yet and a poet leon and no. clubs is actually referred to as. but we're not. indeed the

club it is important to be the felt it's a source of local pride according to former keeper dennis i. mean if it is one of the. yeah absolutely. straight into it isn't fine but i've been fired on the gun so with you one was found for it's not really i want to see. what is going on i should be back how as lovely as the sunset sun this has to be my last evening and be the felt.

welcome to a wonderful morning and bielefeld home of the bonus to his newest club armenia they've been there before i've been here before but you know. it's been a while. ok i'm still here still wandering through the spooky dungeon for some reason. maybe this is all because of armenia the club has an almost supernatural ability of appearing in the bundesliga and disappearing again perhaps i've just been trapped in the media's paranormal activity. they currently share the record for most promotions to people in this league but they really want to avoid becoming the lone record holder for most relegations it's going to be an uphill task because they have the lowest budget in the division. but

the return of fans to stadiums could give them an edge i think they're crazy crazy and i will miss the fans because the last month always play play without without fans the emotions it's absolutely not the same if you have a good situation or a good moment on the pitch nominee in the stadium you feel it you feel the feel the power of the fans and i never realized it before like this because now i never played without fans and now i'm like ok fans are much much more important. foods and i was just 100 yards from the. compact.

she's right as much as i love getting to know i mean i really should leave this place but how. welcome to a beautiful morning in. the name of the city again. well if i'm stuck here let's talk about that name on meet. the club's strange name has nothing to do with the country armenia but rather then named after the general armenian germanic warrior who defeated the romans back in the year 9 and because all german clubs are female i mean yes ok i'm armenia. with a name that claims such

a proud heritage to the jokes about bielefeld not existing and the only people associated with the club. as a muslim in those beautiful doesn't dance an entire or because the end of. god does about. the soviet women here never knew one born 10 beautiful voice. i don't really understand why everyone is making this joke so. i think it's stupid tell you what stupid losing my job and go from because i can't escape this damn place regardless of my struggles i mean you feel felt is a club worth keeping an eye on good luck back in the bundesliga guys now my feeling is go home.

i'm a. bicycle and. today i want to find out why the result is one of the most beautiful river states in germany so i'm also right along a part of the results psychopath. the beautiful landscape is certainly here. this is like touring just for fun research. trip to. next on d w. he's quite as simple as it seems. to understand the world. we need to take a closer. experience. to.
