eric: well, we should know this week. countdown is on. president trump saying he will announce the name of his proposed supreme court justice to replace ruth bader ginsburg in the coming days. the anticipation and the guessing game over who he will put up comes as americans continue to gather at the white marbled court an capitol hill to honor justice ginsburg. she died friday and was 87 year's old but with the election just 44 day asway the battle to fill her seat on the high court is taking shape. hello, everyone, welcome to america's news headquarters on this sunday, i'm eric sean. hi, arthel. arthel: hi, eric, i'm arthel

neville. president trump says he could reveal his pick to replace justice ginsburg as early as this week and at rally in north carolina last night, he announced that he will nominate a woman to fill the court vacancy. we have fox team coverage on this. jacqui heinrich has the latest from the biden-harris campaign in wilmington de, -- delaware and mike emanuel from washington. >> president trump will nominate a woman to the supreme court this week. this is a decision that's already shaping up the campaign in the final stretch. both campaigns i should mention. president trump talked at length with supporters last night in fayetteville, north carolina. >> i will be putting forth a nominee next week. it will be a woman. it will be a woman, a very

talented, very brilliant woman. [cheers and applause] >> we haven't chosen yet but we have numerous women on the list. >> at one point the point started chanting fill that seat. the president said he wanted this campaign to start coming up with t-shirts with that on there and attacked joe biden over not putting list of potential nominees. back here in washington, the decision to nominate the justice weeks before the election will no doubt leave the president and opposition on capitol hill. the president layed out reasoning something that we would hear about this week. you know, it's called fill that seat and that's what we are doing. the supreme court was a very central issue in both the 2016

presidential and midterm election. >> it remains unclear when the president may make such an announcement. he has a busy schedule ahead like ohio, florida. it's possible in between the rallies when he's back in dc he may meet face to face with people on the short list. i want to give you an idea on some of the names that the white house put forth earlier this year. amy coney barrett from 27th court of appeals, judge allison jones rushing and barbara lagao. the president may want to go a different direction. it is a beautiful day here in washington, the president is out to his golf club in virginia, if anything pops up on the schedule, arthel, i will be sure to let you know. arthel: please do. mark meredith. arthel: the death of justice

ruth bader ginsburg will most likely prove to be a pivotal movement in race of 2020. joe biden says the next nominee should be picked by the president, candidate who wins in let's go with jackie heinrich with more on this. jackie. reporter: arthel, the surprise trip was announced this morning. the former vice president will address the country from here in philadelphia in about 2 hours focusing on the prospect of president trump nominating a third justice to the supreme court after justice ginsburg's death on friday. the president is expected to announce his pick this week. yesterday the campaign rally he declared it will be a woman and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell declared the nominee will get a vote on the floor. biden and the democrats reportedly plan to adopt the same strategy in midterms making health care a foccal point, --

focal point and link supreme court vacancy to health care. biden accused president trump of trying to eliminate protections and according to new york times shy of liberal justice to put in place. biden raising concern about abortion rights if president's nominee is confirmed. judge amy barrett is a front runner and favored among antiabortion conservatives. biden called on the senate to stall any confirmation until after the election. >> voters should pick the president and the president should pick the justice for the senate to consider. this was the position the republican senate took in 2016 when there were almost 10 months to go before the election.

that's the position the united states senate must take today. reporter: aoc called vacancy earth shattering and she told progressives voting for joe biden is not about whether you agree with him, it's a vote to let democracy live another day. arthel. arthel: all right, jackie, thank you so much. eric. eric: arthel, we will delve into the president's potential picks including judge amy coney barrett in just a few moments and we will take a look at some of the others that are in consideration also. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, he's making it clear that he does intend to hold a vote on the nominee as soon as possible. as you heard democrats slamming the speed of which republicans are going, they promise to try and block any of the gop moves to make sure a confirmation hearing and vote do not happen until after the election and at least one republican senator susan collins of maine has said she's not on board with mcconnell's plan. mike emanuel live in washington

with the very latest on what we can expect in congress, hey, mike. mike: with 53-47 republican majority in the senate, majority leader mitch mcconnell cannot afford too many defections, maine senator susan collins who is facing a tough reelection and alaska senator lisa murkowski are opposed to holding a confirmation vote before election day. one of their conservative colleagues tried to make the case today why this is different than when president obama tried to fill a vacancy in 2016. >> the vacancy occurs in an election year, of the 29 times of those 19 the senate confirmed 17 times. if the parties are same, the senate confirms the nominee. when the parties are different, that's happened ten times, merrick garland was one of them, of those ten, the senate confirmed the nominees only twice. >> democrats are furious that mcconnell never gave president

obama's nominee consideration. today a key judiciary democrat suggested a swift confirmation would do damage. >> for the republican majority just 44 days before the next presidential election to rush through a new justice in a partisan confirmation process will further divide our country, will further challenge the legitimacy of the court and i think would dishonor justice ginsburg's legacy. mike: the judge will be making the rounds on capitol hill meeting with senators and whether she receives life-time appointment to the high court. the big wild card a floor vote if a floor vote would come before or avenue the -- or after the november 3rd election. eric: it's moving fast, arthel. arthel: one of the court's liberal voices, the passing of

ruth bader ginsburg, president trump and top republicans pushing for a vote to replace justice ginsburg as soon as possible as democrats accused them of hypocrisy. let's bring in reuters jeff mason, with you i want to discuss the notion that president will likely nominate a woman, presumably a conservative based on the front-runners which would satisfy the president's base and other conservatives, however, would that garner votes from the women who revereed justice ginsburg and what she stood for and should that even be a consideration? >> well, i think it's kind of hard to imagine that because the people who supported justice ginsburg are no doubt progressives and liberal-leaning supporters who would be more likely to back joe biden.

that said, his choice and his announcement that he would choose a woman is politically wise because he's replacing a woman with a woman if he makes that choice and he is also needing politically to reach out particularly to suburban women right now who he needs to vote for him in key states like florida, arizona and the other swing states that are critical in this election. politically it would help him but i'm not sure that it would be swinging voters who were fans of justice ginsburg. arthel: let's listen right now to senator lindsey graham, his -- his voice, his statement on march tenth, 2016. >> i want you to use my words against me. if there's a republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say lindsey graham said let's let the next president whoever it might be make the nomination and you could use my words against me

and you'd be absolutely right. arthel: senator graham has changed position and majority leader mcconnell who as you know denied president obama a supreme court nominee ten months before the 2016 election, saying that president trump's nominee was less than 50 days before the election will get a senate vote because the scenario is different now and that the republicans rule the senate, therefore, this republican president should get to pick the nominee for life, the life-long seat in the supreme court. jeff, a, is this hypocritical as democrats claim or this cast doubt in the highest court of the nation? >> i think the answer to the question is certainly an argument that the democrats are going to make but they've also made argument with very contentious hearing with now justice kavanaugh. as regards to your first question, it's not my job to

make that decision but certainly the comments that you just played from senator graham give lots to call for democracy. arthel: he did say if a republican president is in office at this point. but let's move on -- >> his quote is very clear. it's a very clear quote and a challenge, really, it's a challenge to be used against him and that's exactly what democrats will do. arthel: the news of senator control -- susan collins of maine says the nomination should be left to winner of presidential election and senator murkowski of alaska on friday before the unfortunate passing of justice ginsburg, she told alaska public media that she would not vote to confirm a justice before the election either. so what happens if senator mitt romney feels that same way that according to senator mcconnell

-- mcconnell in 2016, quote, that was too close to an election and that the people needed to decide. >> well, if they, meaning the democrats, can persuade mitt romney and perhaps another senator then the republicans are in trouble in terms of their ability to get a nominee through. but that's a big if. mitt romney obviously did not make any friends in the white house when he voted for one -- the articles of impeachment but he's nonetheless a conservative senator and we will just have to see where he goes on this. i think the fact that susan collins has come out with a position that she has is not surprising either. she's in a very, very competitive race for her own reelection in maine, and she lives in and represents a moderate state. so this is no doubt an attempt on her behalf to say, you know, look, i'm reaching out to the voters who -- who would find this very upsetting in my state

but that may not be -- that probably won't be enough to stop this from happening unless more senators -- more republican senators come on board. arthel: all right, jeff mason, thank you very much, jeff. eric. eric: jeff and arthel, who would president trump nominate to the high court as he said he says it will be a woman. up next some of the reported candidates as the nation honors and remembers justice ruth bader ginsburg who left legacy on the high court and on the laws of our nation.

street in front of the u.s. supreme court to honor the late justice ginsburg. many people came out and right here you see this morning, this is house speaker nancy pelosi, she was out here this morning, she paid respects, didn't say much but she did want to honor ginsburg and known her for years and thousands that got in front of supreme court n front of the street really to -- to not only honor but to talk about her legacy, to talk about some of the things that she held dear. elizabeth warren, the senator of massachusetts, she was the keynote speaker, if you will, last night. she came to vigil and here is what she said, take a listen. >> mitch mcconnell and his hingeman believe that they can ram through a supreme court justice only 45 days from the election. >> rbg really changed the shape of our country forever and she

is a lot to defend both women's and men's rights and defending both women and men's rights showed that everyone should be treated the same. david: first jewish woman to sit on supreme court. she's proud of jewish faith. they'll be private ceremony in arlington with close friends. as what happens in u.s. supreme court maybe public viewing and details are still being worked out obviously with covid. as soon as details come about, of course, we will pass them along, arthel. arthel: boy, it's going to be a -- this is really sad story for everyone, it doesn't matter your politics. david spunt, thank you. >> we said that if for any reason we have a vacancy in the

united states supreme court, we will fill the vacancy, i will be putting forth a nominee next week. it will be a woman. eric: president trump at rally in fayetteville, north carolina promising nomination for the supreme court vacancy will come this week. so who would it be, as you heard the president say the nominee will be a woman. that narrows down the list. so, jim, besides gender, what are the qualities do you think the president is looking for in a jurist? >> he wants somebody who is going to be on that side of the aisle and that's no surprise to anyone. so i think he's going to get that. i think there are some awfully big shoes to fill when it comes to justice ginsburg, iconic figure. but he's got a pretty short list of female jurists that he seems to be pumping out there right now. eric: yeah, here is what the president said when he was leaving for the rally yesterday.

>> i've gotten to know many of them. i think it's probably from a legal standpoint, from a sophisticated understanding of the law, from a constitutional standpoint, i think it's the greatest list ever assembled. and i think that the other side should show their radical left list and i think you'll be surprised. eric: he's pointing out -- the radical left list. does he look at specific issues? what is the thinking that goes into this choice? >> i think there's a couple of things. he's mentioning amy coney barrett and barbara labao and both of them don't have very long track records. they are both right around 50 year's old, so there's the trend that we are seeing that really started during the obama administration of picking people that you want to get on the bench for a long time, recognizing that a 50-year-old judge or justice is going to be on that seat for decades as opposed to somebody who might have more experience but be in

70's or even older. it's going to be a very interesting ride. the other thing that seems to be commonality here is picking people who don't have a particular long judicial record. if you go back, kavanaugh had a long record but they didn't attack him on it. you have two leading female jurists on the list that really don't have a lot in terms of judicial background. they've got some experience and some public positions an questioning at confirmation hearings before but not the kind of track record that you might see from a long-time federal judge. eric: lots for the democrats to attack. amy coney barrett set to be front runner, conservative catholic from south bend, indiana, notre dame. called roe versus wade, quote, erroneous decision. here being questioned of her catholicism from senator dianne

feinstein. >> the dogma lives in you. that's a concern. >> if you are asking whether i take my faith seriously and i'm a faithful catholic, i am, my personal church affiliation or religious belief would not bear in the discharge of my duties as a judge. eric: when she gave commencement speech at minority dam law school, quote, your legal career is means to an end and the end is building the kingdom of god if you can keep in mind that your fundamental purpose in life is not to be a lawyer but to love and serve god, you truly will be a different kind of lawyer. you know the democrats will probably go after that and how does she respond? >> well, she got through the confirmation hearing to get on the seventh circuit before with pretty good grace and calmness and frankly these questions are fairly outrageous, to sit there and suggest that it's a

disqualifier. and i think it's really kind -- crossed the lines and she got through the confirmation but, of course, that doesn't guaranty for supreme court. eric: finally barbara lagoa, he's hispanic and the president had good things to say about her yesterday when he left the white house. >> she's an extraordinary person. i have heard incredible things about her. i don't know her. she's hispanic and highly respected. miami, highly respected. eric: does the fact that she's from florida and hispanic potentially help him politically in that state or is that not even a consideration? >> oh, i'm sure it's a consideration. i mean, you have to be willfully blind to not acknowledge that gender and location are important things at this point and maybe her cuban-american heritage is too.

but, look, i think she's an interesting candidate. she's been on somewhat of a fast-track, she went out of law school to big law firm for a few years, assistant u.s. attorney for a few years doing kind of difficult things you start off your career with and got on florida supreme court and 11th circuit and a candidate on fast track with not particularly lengthy record of judicial decisions so it's kind of hard to find out where they will go on any particular case. eric: all right, we will know this week says the president and we will see who it is. jim, good to see you. arthel: 3 major u.s. allies in europe including britain agreed to hold out against demand to reinstate all the united nations sanctions on iran despite pressure from washington. uk ambassador to the u.s. dan karen pierce joins eric next on

♪ ♪ arthel: well, the u.s. borders with canada and méxico remain close because of the coronavirus with some countries in europe and elsewhere reimposing restrictions. this as the u.s. records more than 6.7 million cases and close to reaching 200,000 deaths due to covid-19 while several states are hitting peaks of new infections. let's go with alex hogan. alex, those are grim numbers i just reported, what are you hearing about safety measures for those people who need to travel? alex: health officials advising to, of course, wear a mask.

utah and colorado lead with highly daily increases. in a new investigation cdc found that 1600 people got on flights while at risk potentially exposing the coronavirus to 11,000 people. according to cdc filtered air on planes prevents spread but it is when sitting for someone next to periods of time. tsa screened 600,000 people compared to nearly 2 million on the same day in 2019. cases of covid-19 in the u.s. topping 199,000 and 300 deaths. in fox news interview bill gates predicted if a vaccine comes by next year like usual could resume by summer of 2021. still he says the administration's travel ban may have worsened the spread. >> what happened was that 40,000 people came out of china because we didn't ban the residents and

citizens from coming in. we created this rush and we didn't have the ability to test or quarantine those people so that seeded the disease, the ban probably accelerated that the way it was executed. alex: in terms of coming out with a vaccine there's advancing for testing as well as testing, arthel. arthel: alex hogan, thank you so much. eric: iran is on notice. this week world leaders will address the annually united nations general assembly and because of coronavirus they will submit speeches virtually. president trump's turn is on tuesday. but you know the administration is already announcing move of snapback sanctions on iran. here is secretary mike pompeo when he was on sunday morning futures this morning. secretary: iran has been

fomenting terror, there's no reason to expect in the short way they will change nature. what president trump said we will deny resources. we will not send crates of cash and not allow them to do business in the world and allow them to create the very wealth that destroys the opportunity for peace in the region. eric: with us the united kingdom ambassador, previously served as british ambassador at the un, ambassador karen pierce. what type of strategy would you like to see when dealing with tehran? >> thank you, eric, nice to see you again. the uk, france and germany didn't believe -- don't believe that it's right to do snapback at this particular moment and we don't share the u.s. views that the u.s. can invoke snapback at

the un because the u.s. has already left the nuclear deal. but we absolutely share american concerns about iran's behavior, threat to international peace and security and we do want to work with america and others to find ways to address that. eric: when you meet with your american counterparts, you know, what do you say, do you tell them that precisely and what other proposals do you think would work? >> we do tell them that. you to remember, i think, that the nuclear deal is the only deal going that stops iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, so while we like to see iran be more faithful to that deal, we believe it's very much if our interest, it's very much in everyone's interest not to have the deal and we want to work with other participants in the deal, that's russia and china. we want to bring back iran back

to compliance with it and we need to address destabilizing activities in places like yemen, syria, lebanon and we need to address ballistic missiles and proliferation. eric: the administration tomorrow is going to announce sanctions on 24 people that deal with iran and you just mentioned long-range missiles, reuters is now reporting that north korea and iran are collaborating on long-range missiles. that has been a concern of the security council and you've addressed that before, what do you fear? >> well, you're right to be concerned. it's a worrying development. it's not the first time i think that they have collaborated together and i think if one looks back in history, one would find that russia had a great deal to do with the north korean nuclear program. i mean, this is something that the security council will have to address. nuclear proliferation is a great concern. north korea is already subject

to a lot of u.s. security council sanctions, security council has backed the president on that and we now need to see those sanctions fully implemented without any wiggle room for people like the russians and chinese to resolve from them. we need them to be fully implemented. eric: you talk about the rations , there's concerns about the poisonous of the activist, what is your advice and what would you say about moscow and what we face potentially from them in the coming weeks? >> well, i think it was striking, eric, to see the poison. we've seen that in the british town, not so long ago. i think the russian government really has a case to answer. our foreign secretary dominic

was here early in the weeks seeing secretary pompeo and speaker pelosi and others and he was able to raise the case and we all agree russia has a case to answer. the organization that deals with chemical weapon use is investigating and needs to take more measures. i just want to repeat that chemical weapons are prohibited weapons, prohibited internationally. we really do need the russians as a member of the council, permanent member to abide by the universal prohibition. eric: that is so important especially with the dealing with syria and -- and these pois pois that we have seen. good luck as ambassador and once the situation is currently resolved.

i guess you're looking forward to that. >> it's my first time posted here and there's a lot of places i want to visit. republican and democrat, i learn even more about what fantastic things go on in america and i am really hoping to get out and about very soon. eric: and the folks out there too, ambassador, thank you so much for your time. arthel: so many great people and places to meet and see in america. all right, a few weeks ago hurricane laura battered the gulf coast at category 4 strength. now a one of a kind of pediatric center in lake charles, indiana is fighting to rebuild after suffering significant i had saved up some money and then found the home of my dreams. damage.

after my dvt blood clot... i wondered.. could another come around the corner? or could it play out differently? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didn't experience another. -and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding.

don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily- and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. what's around the corner could be your moment. ask your doctor about eliquis.

rugged terrain in the west. the bobcat fire in los angeles where i am right now doubled in size since last week. it burned more than 91,000 acres in 14 days. new evacuation orders were issued for desert communities yesterday as strong winds pushed the fire further north. it destroyed some homes and the nature center at the devil's national area, site visited by thousands of people each year. >> for the last 15 years have been in the fire service and -- and it's hard to be able to watch your own home let alone other people's homes burn and their possessions, but it really hits home when it's your own house. christina: at least 35 people have died from the fires burning in the west including a
