ground and as we've already done in the past. the peaceful gathering in sharp contrast to seems elsewhere but as italy tightens restrictions the sense of anxiety here every bit is strong. she's a journalist in milan so there can you give us an idea of the scope of these protests and why they got so violent. well 1st of all we have to understand that these protests have been going on for a few days now. in naples especially they have been the head of the region the government region and it's been regions they look at been very strict with measure and that's where the protests started and then they spread around easily from rome to palermo and now milan and sure hundreds of people i've been going to the streets to demonstrate against this new measures that are very strict and some of them stricter in europe to be honest and. at the same time we have peaceful
2:05 pm
demonstrations demonstrators who are talking to taking a 3 to demonstrate against the fact that it they have to close at 6 pm from for example restaurant owner a bar owners but at the same time we have people that take advantage of this situation. what's driving the rather broad opposition to the new restrictions what's driving what's the main force behind it. well media and the government as well are trying to understand who are these people that are actually demonstrating violently in the streets and there has been rumors that you know there are people from the extremist right wing or extremists from the left wing but at the same time many say they're wholly guns are taking the streets to protest taking advantage of some people that are actually demonstrating because the rules are very strict at the moment that the main reason why people are going
2:06 pm
straight thing is the 6 pm will for which people cannot go to bars or restaurants after 6 pm so what's the role of i was situation right now new infections still rising so we're. they are they are and it's hard to see it from a person point to be especially because iran is becoming one of the the the biggest threat at the center of the coronavirus we have around $20000.00 cases positive cases a day and more than 150 deaths every day i see you are getting full again and hospitals are going to fall again we can hear this is going on and on the whole day but this was not unexpected we knew that a 2nd wave was coming we knew we could see it from from countries around us we could see france and spain in the u.k. so this is why people are angry make mainly because conflict tracing is not working hospital are not ready for this situation and we had months to prepare for it

garner car about it with this message that we cannot live together with these hateful enemies their enemies we cannot accept them. it's. turkey supports john in this war and has sent combat drones that's another reason. my locals are sure of victory even if they're being bombarded with grenades every day . to the united states now where the confirmation of amy kone berets to the supreme court has given america's top court a conservative majority for years to come the senate approved the nomination by 52 votes to 48 barrett's appointment was strongly opposed by congressional democrats. after a month in the spotlight she finally got to say these words. judge amy carney is heading to the u.s. supreme court. it's a privilege to be asked to serve my country and this office and i stand here
2:15 pm
tonight truly honored and humbled. president donald trump is on hand to celebrate one of his signature achievements locking in a conservative majority on the supreme court for many years to come. this is a momentous day for america for the united states constitution and for the fair and impartial rule of law. barack took an oath at the white house only in hour after the senate narrowly voted to secure the nomination order with only one republican not supporting the motion. democrats strongly opposed to the confirmation saying a supreme court justice shouldn't be appointed this close to an election let the record show that tonight the republican senate majority decided to thwart the will of the people and confirm a lifetime appointment to the supreme court in the middle of the presidential

election. opponents of carney barrett's nomination say it paves the way for conservative rulings on abortion rights health care and q. rights carny barrett valid that she will remain independent. the oath that i have certainly taken tonight means at its core that i will do my job without any fear or favor. and that i will do so independently of both the political branches and of my own preference. she'll take the 2nd of her son choose day in a private ceremony which will allow her to begin official duties on the court. attorney now as boris foreman a professor of political science at bard college here in berlin professor fallen how does any kind of barrett's confirmation and reshape the supreme court and why
2:17 pm
is everyone so concerned about it. well as as we just heard i mean this is creating a conservative majority of 6 to 3 on the supreme court which is the highest court in the u.s. and which has to decide to most important cases really and to to prove whether a certain case is constitutional or not and there are many cases coming up right now not least of course the presidential election itself might produce new types of cases and so this is a contentious contentious issue. but you mentioned the election day which is only a week from today how could the newly configured cold have an influence that. well there's already been debates just yesterday there was a decision by the supreme court during the. nomination appointment of it because we've heard that wisconsin was not allowed to extend its a 1000000 ballots deadline and similar decisions are coming up for pennsylvania and for north carolina important swing states also so the supreme court already does
2:18 pm
have an influence and obviously something might happen that happened in 2000 everyone remembers bush versus gore at the time which was decided by the supreme court in favor of george w. bush making him the president and since this is a very contentious election coming up similar instances might might come about in the supreme court might have a very important role to play ultimately what role would that be that the supreme court would have to play and what what what's the likely scenario playing out that . well if election outcomes in the individual states are contended to might be that the supreme court might have to take a decision oftentimes it does so without actually having to reason about its own decision so it's clear 6 to 3 majority might well lean in favor of trouble we don't know this yet it's a possibility. well the issue of health care is also coming before the court early next month could that be a way for bad to put
2:19 pm
a stamp on things from the very beginning. sure i mean this has been perhaps the most important policy item that people have been discussing with view to the nomination of of a macone barrett as she has criticised at that such at the time in 2012 justice john roberts for it his decision to hold it hold the affordable care act constitutional however i think what we've also seen for example with brett kavanaugh ordeal of course which the other trumped nominees to the supreme court is that sometimes conservative judges tend to become more liberal over time once they are in the institution of the supreme court so i think it's it's we haven't there's no final conclusion on the how does these decisions might go yet professor of our farm and from bob college here in berlin thank you very much for joining us on the w. news in. well the past 4 years jaws have certainly dropped a number of times over the antics of the current us president as

a bona fide reality t.v. star donald trump holds on the public imagination is larger than life american t.v. and cinema have a long tradition of portraying its highest office kevin spacey is selling turn and house of cards is just one example because tonight in moscow the present in t.v. and the movie the american president can be anything he can be an action hero. in the family kitchen he can be an ordinary guy either together. he can even be a sheep there is the dawn of a new era when that. growth in the house movie presidents have reflected our hopes and expectations for the real resident of the white house the regional model for the saintly larger than life hollywood president was walter houston in d.w. griffith abraham lincoln hall the people. not caring from their.
2:21 pm
least sets a goal is always president it seems. in the public imagination presidents from lincoln all the way down to john f. kennedy were statesman fighting for the good of their country. when the person then came nixon and watergate to any major. without fear of a hostile demonstration merit in the home they lost confidence in their president they also lost over that. nixon's on screen legacy can be seen in everything from jack nicholson smarmy president and mars attacks to the conniving kevin spacey in house of cards in the end i don't care whether you love me or you hate me just as long as i win. it took a hollywood actor we store america's space and it's commander in chief. after ronald reagan movie presidents became action stars and the last. good

morning. in the $9098.00 that the president will be a super that. we celebrate. your taxes t.v. has done a better job of depicting presidents who get politics to martin sheen in the west wing was more popular than either of the real candidates for the 2004 election some argue dennis haysbert is black president and 24 pave the way for barack obama so far however fictional female presidents have not inspired americans elect a woman to the white house. thank you for economy of comedians to trump impressions but there's never been a film character anything like the current u.s. president perhaps trump as a reality t.v. star prepared america for his own reality t.v. presidency which in turn could inspire trump like presence on screen really to create the sort of. all. movies. presidents

landfall on mexico's yucatan peninsula battering the coast with winds of up to 130 kilometers per hour forecasters say the storm is likely to regroup and move towards the u.s. gulf coast later in the week is the 27th named storm in an historic hurricane season. and i was some good news for those dreaming about one day setting up camp on the moon or using it as a staging ground for space travel nasa scientists say they found clear evidence that there's more water on and just below the lunar surface than anyone previously suspected new research suggests that future explorers won't have to venture to the moon's polar regions in search of life life sustaining water but will it be enough to be exploited. more water on the moon yes life no that's what national announced that he video press conference scientists there said they found more water on the moon than they ever thought before but they shut down
2:25 pm
the idea that that would mean the moon could harbor life. the discovery of more water on the moon was confirmed by technology from its flying lab the stratospheric observatory for infrared astronomy known also by its acronym sophia the scientists said that the deposits are at least partly the result of meteors that carried water and that crashed on the surface of the moon the impact caused rock to melt and form glass beads and trapping the water thus allowing it to survive on the moon's harsh surface more water bearing beads might also be buried deeper nasa also said that there is perhaps more water hidden in the form of ice patches located in permanent shadows of the moon one of the nasa scientists said that it's not a lot of water the amount is equal to $1300.00 milliliter bottle of water per cubic meter another said that the water doesn't mean that there could be life on the moon
2:26 pm
because you need more than water to ensure the conditions for life oh how. well. or. what will. however scientists did say that if they can eventually extract enough water from the moon it could eliminate the need to bring water on space missions water is very heavy and takes up a lot of room room that could be used for other purposes. you're watching t.v. news coming up next in news asia the u.s. wants to close a security ties with india in its push to contain a rising sign. but china remains defiant as its economic and military minds boosts
