eastern considering the nomination of kyle duncan to serve on the federal appeals court based in new orleans. ms. hassan: mr. president, i rise today to oppose the nomination of kyle duncan to serve on the fifth circuit court of appeals. mr. president, our founders established our court system to serve as an independent arbiter that would protect the rights of every american and ensure equal justice under the law. and for us to move forward, our democracy requires an independent and impartial judiciary. unfortunately, the trump administration has focused on nominating individuals to our courts who have extreme partisan agendas that would move us backward. this latest nomination is no different. mr. duncan has spent his career working to undermine the progress we've made toward building a more inclusive, more equal united states, rather than working to include more people in our democracy, mr. duncan's law practice has seemingly been devoted to restricting people's rights and make life more challenging for some of the most marginalized among us. and his dangerous record raises serious

the case will be heard by the court of appeal this afternoon, as keith doyle reports. evans have not given up theirfight to have him moved out of the country for treatment, despite a high court judge ruling against it, saying it was not in the toddler's best interests. last night, following that ruling, alfie's father tom said that that the 23—month—old was doing 0k and the family have been allowed to appeal. we want to go to italy. everyone‘s ready, alfie's ready, so now we see what the three judges in the court of appeal can do for us, and even if we don't achieve to get to italy, then the judge is still offering us a chance to get home. alfie has been in alderhey since december 2016 with a rare degenerative, neurological condition. supporters of the child's family tried to storm the hospital on monday, shortly before his life—support was withdrawn when a court ruled doctors could end his care. his parents want him to be transferred to hospital in rome, a move which is supported by the pope, whom alfie's father tom met last week. last night, supporters of the family

brings in the constitution and in the appointment of judges at all levels back, remember the courts of appealg to handle most of the things and the constitutionality of laws, constitutionality of federal executive actions are mostly decided at the court of appeals level, and then some excellent appointments there. we have to make sure that is maintained. the 5-4 balance in the constitution is a delicate balance and could use a couple more constitutionalists on that court. mark: sometimes we don't get the five. >> sometimes we don't, unfortunately. mark: what do you think about president trump and his selection of judges? i think it's been fairly exceptional? >> i would say it's certainly been outstanding. president trump has been very careful, and frankly he's looking in the right places to find those judges for all levels of the court, particularly the courts of appeal and the supreme court. he's looking to the federalist society which is committed to constitutional fidelity. the heritage foundation, other similar sources who believe what the founders have in mind. mark: can you see the urge

his parents, advised by the christian legal centre, will take their case to the court of appeal thistors' advice. nothing more can be done. legally the question is fairly straightforward. the decision is going to be one about how best to serve alfie's best interests and that will draw very heavily on the medical opinion, so if the medical opinion is that withdrawing treatment is in alfie's best interests, then that is what the judges will lean towards. the case has ignited strong passions. on monday, alfie's supporters tried to storm alder hey. today the alfie's army facebook campaign group called for people to bring ventilation equipment to the hospital. what seems to have happened with the use of social media and social media being involved is that these complex, very grey areas of medical ethics have been distilled into a simple you're right, you're wrong, black—and—white choice and itjust isn't as simple as that and, i think as a consequence of that, we have seen what is going on outside alder hey because there are people who firmly believe that the doctors in there are making th

noel conway's challenge to the law is being heard at the court of appeal tomorrow.pondent fergus walsh. yep. 0k. there's an underlying feeling of profound anxiety that i live with, and that is, i don't know how i'm going to die. little by little, noel conway's strength is fading. motor neurone disease means his muscles are wasting away, including those that allow him to breathe, so he needs a ventilator, and he's totally reliant on his wife, carol. i want to end my life with dignity, cleanly, and in full consciousness. i don't want to linger on for weeks. what is it that you fear will happen to you at the end of your life? i will be completely immobile. it's the still being alive and yet not being able to use one's body that is the greatest fear i have. the central argument before the courts is whether the suicide act, which prohibits assisted dying, is an unjustifiable breach of mr conway's human rights. judges here interpret the law. they can't change it. that's down to parliament. three years ago, mps overwhelmingly rejected proposals to allow assisted dying in e

the high court dismissed mr conway's case, but the court of appeal says the issues are of such importancepposed to legalising assisted suicide say the current law protects the vulnerable. we are concerned about those who have no voice, those who are demented, mentally ill, elderly, orsick, who would feel pressure to end their lives out of fear of being a burden. the issue noel conway is raising is of profound importance to society, and both sides of the debate believe passionately they are trying to uphold basic human rights. fergus walsh, bbc news. the time is 615. our top story this evening. sajid javid is the new home secretary after amber rudd's resignation last night. the former communities secretary says his priority is to resolve the windrush scandal. and still to come — the biggest scientific expedition to antarctica for 80 years to study one of the world's largest glaciers. coming up on sportsday on bbc news: rugby league's zak hardaker will be free to return to the sport in november, after receiveing a backdated 1a—month ban for failing a drugs test last year. the cost of some a

for example, the ninth court of appeals after it struck down one attempt said in the opinion the statute requires findings. if the president wants to try this again, write down something more to articulate what is the national security basis. the government didn't respond to that, hasn't done that, hasn't offered up something even at the most general level beyond saying initially we need to keep people out of this country, and now really in a shifting rationale saying we need to incentivize better information sharing with certain foreign partners. >> from mark in sir spring, maryland, independent line. good ahead. you're on with our guest. >> caller: hi. i just wanted to i guess agree with one of the callers saying that, you know, so i work on national security. i love this country. i feel if we're going to be anti-immigrants, we don't have any value left as a country. what's left to fight for? what are the -- what does this country stand for? what makes us better or different from any other country in the world? >> that certainly goes to the heritage issue which is why i think this case

i think the government's current position, contrary to what it persuaded multiple courts of appeals ofwas that that's out. and so that's the example, but in order to get there, the government has to take the quintessential crime of violence and say that it is not -- justice kagan: and that's inconsistent with everything that the government has said in multiple cases; isn't that correct? mr. rosenkranz: yes, in -- in -- i mean, the courts of appeals that have said that those crimes are within the residual -- justice breyer: they're saying right now, what about conspiracy? i mean, you can have conspiracy to commit burglary. it's over, once you conspire. mr. rosenkranz: right. well, that's a -- so that's an example, but i think the government said that that's in. justice kagan: that that's in. mr. rosenkranz: right. and so if, that's in, then this whole notion of in the course of committing the crime doesn't do any work. justice kennedy: could -- could the government -- justice kagan: similarly, the government -- please. justice kennedy: it's a different point. could the government pass a

all the arguments raised by alfie's parents were rejected by the court of appeal. 0ur correspondent andyppeal has been here for the last hour hearing legal arguments. we also had a response from the hospital. the three judges adjourned for a short time. they realize how urgent this case was and they came back and said they had rejected all grounds for appeal. as far as the legal process here is concerned, that is the end of the matter. there was an attempt to persuade the court by the barrister for the mother that alfie should go to italy, that you get better treatment there. similar argument made by the father. but the hospital, the barristerfor the hospital, the barristerfor the hospital said there was no change to the medical situation. the general public might have expected alfie evans public might have expected alfie eva ns to public might have expected alfie evans to die as soon as is the ventilation was withdrawn, but that was certainly not the understanding of the doctors. they have said repeatedly that it might happen immediately, it might take hours, it might take days. so they
