this piece about it it's not just one crucial piece of evidence that we hope to take back to the appeal court and of course there are there are many other pieces about this is a freshman some of them to some of the witnesses that you might desire to have in the appeal stage presumably some of them have died i mean for instance there's a man called ma increase that too was a bomb maker reputedly again according to the lawyer because it worked with the militant group backed by iran the disrespected he was an undercover jordanian intelligence agent apparently jordan's intelligence services link to the cia what will you be able to get him i mean it's going to develop as a solicitor to get any of these people to testify on behalf of that that's true enough it terms of that but what we need to remember is that the appeal is not a rerun of the trial you know we have several groans of appeal that we would wish to launch the commission appointed to but some many of the grounds have been incorporated into question of an unreasonable verdict but in the case of mr gates he's dead however we still have wh

i believe that more than one district court has overturned the executive order and the appeals court n reinstated it. so now it's going to the supreme court. do you think the court is going to take this case? >> likely. it goes directly to justice samuel alito who has, you would say, jurisdiction from this part of the country. he's likely to bring it to the whole court and decide this important issue because it does represent some important decisions of constitutional law and some splits between an appeals court and the lower court. >> so can we get into a little bit of the constitutional law part of this whole thing. from that basis, what personal rights versus state interests are at odds here? >> at this points, it gets complicated properly. on april 7, the appeals court prevented the lower court from preventing the governor from preventing abortions. then on april 10th, it kind of did the same thing again, but the only thing it really prevented on april 10 is these oral abortions by pill or medication abortions, as they are called. constitutionally, this comes down to the governmen

david: so you served 13 years on the court of appeals, the district of columbia. nsburg: yes. david: and after 13 years, did you think you had a chance to be on the supreme court, or did you think this was something that might never happen? justice ginsburg: no one thinks, "my aim in life is to be a supreme court justice." it just isn't realistic. there are only nine of us. and luck has a lot to do with who are the particular nine at a particular time. so, growing up, i never had an idea of being any kind of a judge. because as i said, women were barely there on the bench. when carter became president, there was only one woman on a federal court of appeals. she was shirley hufstedler on the ninth circuit. he made her the first ever secretary of education. and then there were none again. carter changed that, and no president ever went back to the way it was. reagan didn't want to be outdone by carter, so he was determined to put the first woman on the u.s. supreme court. he made a nationwide search and came up with a spectacular choice in justice sandra day o'connor

well look at this particular judgement which came out of the court of appeal on thursday in hong kong it's being considered a win for the government on the grounds it up held its ruling or its legislation of the n.t. mask ban it's basically damed of the judgement has ruled the people wearing masks at a legal assembly so those perceptions that weren't approved by the police those people wearing those masks at the illegal assemblies can be charged but masks are allowed at those positions which are deemed legal so people wearing the mask symbol could the transmission of coronavirus still allowed to do that but the hong kong appeal court overturned part of the initial ruling which was declared in the high court earlier this year which labeled it unconstitutional it basically deemed kerry lam's invoking of the colonial emergency powers as valid so basically means that the rulings that held the mask ban will go ahead and those people who are gathering at the illegal assemblies will be prosecuted and charged as a result they're looking at a bit of background that the government invokes these

when his conviction was appealed to a higher court, the appeals court looked at the conduct of that five-month trial and said there was nothing wrong with it, nothing wrong with how it was conducted. the appeals court said the fairness of the proceedings over which judge duffy presided is beyond doubt. judge duffy was judge kevin duffy, who presided over the ramzi yousef trial and a number of other high-profile terrorism prosecutions in his federal courtroom in the southern district of new york. one of the things he's remembered for over the course of his career is when it came time in that high-profile case for him to sentence ramzi yousef for the world trade center bombing, and ramzi yousef got up and spoke on his own behalf and gave this rant about how proud he was to be a terrorist against the godless united states, one of the things judge kevin duffy is remembered for is that in that moment at that sentencing he responded to that defendant by citing to him multiple verses from the koran, not only explaining to ramzi yousef why he was getting life plus 240 years but rebutting on yusef's ow

australia's high court has upheld cardinal pell‘s appealed against a decision by the court of appeal lting two choirboys in the 1990s. in other words, australia's highest court has agreed with cardinal pell, whom you can see there. he was jailed for six yea rs there. he was jailed for six years with a non—parole period of three years. his decision that this decision, the appeal, was unanimous among the high court's sevenjudges. was unanimous among the high court's seven judges. the ca rdinal‘s court's seven judges. the cardinal's lawyers had argued swathes of evidence made it difficult for the crown to prove that pell defended as alleged, and clearly the court has agreed with that. they said it was not open to the jury to be satisfied there was no reasonable possibility of cardinal pell‘s innocence. we will bring your mind a story as it develops. the latest official figures on those affected by coronavirus across the uk were released a little earlier. they show that in total, 5,373 people have died in hospitalfrom the effects of covid—i9. that's a rise of a39 on sunday's figure. altho
