and then i bump into dominik tarczynskik, an mp from the governing law and justice party. the last few days where we thought this rally was not going to happen. what happened to change that? unity. 0ur president, our government, and all the organisers werejust...were open. booming noise. don't worry about it. what's that? just a kind of reaction for what is happening in here. unity brought the country's president and prime minister to the march. it's also different to last year's ugly scenes. and then i see krzysztof again. this is a march for people who are not censored, with an honest message from the society, not from the media, not from the elite. you have it here on the banners, god, honour, and fatherland. the nationalists have pulled off a major pr coup. the government and far—right leaders attending the same march. a march also where supporters of far—right groups are standing shoulder to shoulder with families, families like ewa's. what are you chanting, tomasz? we march through the streets of warsaw till we cross the river. but before it ends, i want to challenge

services are in opposition they are not was the government got a say in the end of the law and justice party also describes itself as. a conservative party and it is not legislated because the relationship is the goal is something. basic for conservatives. and the leaders of course over the course of the salton but they're all in opposition let me call down the populist in any in any case everybody is ridiculous for a little bit that i had of the british populace and the american populace because. that party came to power had an break in two thousand and fifteen before the backset road before the election of donald trump so in many ways i think poland is it at the forefront of those changes that was my exact point do you attribute that only to disappointment with the economic system or do you see that also as a political development perhaps the the crisis of the liberal democracy and well the crisis of the believer than democracy has been noticed universally konami potent is doing quite well so of course the well it's always problematic and when it was up to no run by people who are who are

morgan stanley >>> tonight, the chief justice of the california supreme court, lifelong republican, has announced she is leaving the republican partyight, the california chief justice, tani cantil-sakauye and thank you very much for being with me, justice. why did you decide to leave the republican party now? >> i had been thinking about it for several years, and of course, i left it right after the kavanaugh hearings and really the kavanaugh hearings were mostly, for me, a symptom and really a condition of why i was thinking about leaving in the first place. and that was -- the label didn't fit anymore. the values were different from what i value as a person, and as a professional. and the pure polarization, lack of civil discourse, led me to take that action. >> so, when you say kavanaugh, is it because you think that he did what she said he did and that would, you know, disqualify him or was it just how it was handled on capitol hill? which part of it did you feel was such an offense to your values? >> well, i think for me, it was the latter. of course, justice kavanaugh is qualified and the president has the prerogative to name

renee: i met francis collins at a dinner party with justice scalia and justice kennedy.. david: is it everybody else intimidated? singing songs that everybody knew and they loved it. muchis said there is some neuroscience about music. what would you think about collaborating with the kennedy center? that.d let's look into it has turned into this extraordinary project about drawing attention to the power of music. it is relatively new and becoming more widely known. how it helps in childhood withopment, how it helps so many therapies for autism, alzheimer's, parkinson's, for veterans. i gave 14 presentations in the last months around the country where i saying. share it -- where i sing. so when people come up to you, young performers come and say i want to be a famous opera singer, what is the advice that you give them? renee: i tell them not to accept any limitations. not only do you have to sing fabulously and trust your voice, you have to look fabulous, looks like the character you are playing and asked amazingly well. actsked amazingly well -- amazingly well. david: i

avenue which perhaps was blocked before the people who brought this case to the open court of justice or across party group of scottish m.p.'s together with a top lawyer and twice the british government is trying to stop it being referred to the court in luxembourg and they failed now the courts heard this advice from the advocate general which it's more or less expected that they will act on it's not guaranteed but the campaign is a saying they're sure that it will do and the advice is that if the u.k. were to come back with a mandate saying that they do want to stop brix it they want to revoke article fifty which was the process by which they triggered leaving the two years of negotiations. u.k. could do that unilaterally and that the other side would not be able to stop it the reasoning partly was that in theory it would have allowed one member state to say to the u.k. you're no longer in control of your own sovereignty if you suddenly tell us that you want pooled sovereignty you want to remain in this club then then one country could have stopped that wouldn't have been right despite the governme

critics say poland lowered the retirement age for judges to give the ruling law and justice party moretical control over the supreme court. the party claimed the changes were necessary, but the european union's top court accused the polish government of undermining the rule of law and ordered two dozen judges who were purged to be reinstated. >> mika, this is something that we were talking about yesterday. >> yep. >> your father would be so pleased to see this happening and so pleased to see that the polish government was, in fact, taking guidance from the eu and moving away from this authoritative stance that really did great violence to the rule of law. >> yeah. >> this is a positive development. >> let's hope. >>> and two chicago police officers have died after being struck by a train last night. the officers, 37-year-old eduardo momeloe and 30-year-old conregard gary were responding on foot to a call of shots fired on chicago's far south side when they were hit by a passing commuter train traveling between 60 and 70 miles per hour. chicago's mayor says they were both fathers of you

the legacy of the 1984 in justice, hands around the neck, fought by the chorus party which led the congressgress all this years and ensured that no justice is done to the bit is of 1980. the congress party and its leaders deny wrongdoing, but it is only months before india's general election, painful memories are being revived and the broader question is how much political damage all this will do. jill mcgivering, bbc news. the case of a chinese human rights lawyer who's been held for three and a half years in prison without trial has prompted an unusual protest. wang quanzhang was picked up in 2015 along with many other lawyers and activists caught up in a crackdown by the chinese government. now his wife has joined the wives of three other detained lawyers to shave their heads and travel bald to the supreme court demanding a hearing. china correspondent stephen mcdonell reports. these women holding their own hair are seen as a threat in china. said the protest was wound up late security guards. it was drawing too much attention. for wives of detained human rights lawyers shaved their head

case had no bearing on the trade negotiations these were entirely separate one was a criminal justice partye and international economics matter now the president conflating the two. that might send a signal to the chinese that he's willing to cut a deal under article two of the constitution the president would presumably have the authority as the chief law enforcement officer of the country to intervene here in some way in the u.s. request to extradite the huawei cfo meng wanzhou. it's unclear whether it's going to happen or just contemplating. but making that comment, it puts the poker chip on the table in these negotiations >> earlier today we were speaking with one analyst or a trader actually that said the market has become more of a show me market. it used to be things are hopeful in these trade talks was said and the market would move. now the market is reluctant to move on a tweet, wants to see more do you think that is setting in, that reality in washington >> i think it is you saw the tweet from the president yesterday saying great things were afoot in the chinese negotiations watc

from the unanimous vote for justice o'connor to the two-thirds vote for chief justice renquist, to the near party line vote for justice kavanaugh, if you want to talk about the decline of the judicial confirmation process, that's it. in a nutshell. and unless we forget about the lower courts, the decline is accelerating there as well. president trump's one d.c. circuit nominee so far, greg katzis was con fixed -- was con 51-49. again nearly party line. we're seeing roll call votes on every single court of appeals nominee. no kidding. controversy on every single nominee. and votes on nearly every district court nominee as well. we've gone from the world of voice votes and unanimous eight d.c. circuit nominees to straight party warfare up and down the entire federal judiciary. it is all scorched earth all of the time and it is terrible. i hope you found tonight's history lesson interesting. my goal tonight has been to share with you my perspective in how the judicial confirmation process has changed for the worse during my time in the senate. there is blame on both sides, i admit. though i think a

party. welcome back. >> good morning. >> let me start with the headline. the justicet now says, southern district of new york says the president directed his personal attorney to break federal law to protect his campaign. what's the president's response to that? totally clears the president, thank you. does it? >> i disagree with the justice department that this shows he broke the law. donald trump wasn't just a candidate, donald trump was also a husband and business person and he had very much a lot of interest in making sure he wasn't blackmailed by women threatening to come out and make public accusations against him. i think the justice department has been pushed back by jury after jury because of overreach when it comes to saying politicians took bribes or politicians broke campaign finance law. they have a very broad, liberal view of what counts as violation of those laws. i don't know that those accusations, those charges stand up in a federal court with a jury because he can argue that he had to protect his own personal character, his own reputation, and his o

justice. lincoln said the parties have to abide by its decision so therefore dred scott had to remain a slave, but he also said decisions could not have value as precedenc precedent unless th certain criteria. he said the have to be unanimous and they also show no apparent bias. if you use that criteria that wipes out a lot of the decisions, not only dred scott as many others including marshall's own lifetime so this is another proposal that has never taken flesh. the issue is still with us. whenever a political party deals on the short end of the stick from the supreme court, the false turn to waves and restricting the power but we've never found the magic balance yet. andrew jackson gave a very gracious tribute to him much more than anything jefferson or marshall would have said about jefferson but the most gracious of all came from a club in richmond where marshall played his favorite game and they ruled since john marshall was irreplaceable but they should always have one fewer men were. >> keyvalue to boost the quality and this led him to make some poor choices over the course of the nati

i think theey: president has attacked the justice department broadly, and the fbi. the matter what political party you belong to, you should find it troubling and continue to speak about it. sessionse firing of specifically? director comey: i cannot comment on that. reporter: did you have total the legal use of the surveillance warrant? director comey: i am confident that the fisa weren't rosters was correctly followed. i think the notion that it was not correct. as a private citizen and someone who knows the private justice used verysee it being quickly and very professionally. most important indication of that is that you don't know anything about it except when it is filed in court, and that is how it should be. reporter: are you prepared to testify next year perhaps on the questions of a section of justice and impeachment? director comey: i always want to respect to the institution of congress. if they want me to testify. testify,ey want me to and we can do it in a responsible way, i will abide in the weird we will see what will happen. reporter: did rosenstein wearing a wire, did that ever co

justice o'connor implied that party strongly. might be true but wei'm the chief justice, and will identify and member of the court hoosiers possible for the document, roberts is chief now. but if his goal is to make the court look less political by having more unanimous decisions come you don't have a 65 case term if your goal is to have a court that looks less political by having more unanimous opinion, you would grant an additional 40 cases that you know will, 9-0. then your numbers look great. if that is what we think is going on, it does not explain the behavior we see. maybe when it comes to marissa, no one will go to the mat, fighting over how to interpret the third, and a sentence or something. i would accept that. if it is being used to make the court look less political, they are doing the exact opposite of what they would be doing if that was their goal. >> i would expect if we look at a term with the conference notes were available, there would be a lot of cases where, it is not that there was an initial division, at co

i was in turkey in 2003 shortly after the president's justice and development party came to power. it seemed at the time a beacon of hope, a moderate muslim country that had shed military ule and was fully committed to democracy. in the first few years there was dramatic economic growth, a robust media environment and much excitement over the prospect of joining the european union. for fear of opening up the continent to a large muslim population country was one change.or erdogan's in the stories of disappearing democracies, it's important to bear in mind all the factors at play domestic as well as international. in early days of the pulitzer center 2006 on, turkey was a favored place of rizz dense for many of our freelance journalist grantees. is stan bull was cheap, cosmopolitan and a short flight both to other european capitals and the hot spots in the middle east and africa. that changed over time, of course. as i saw in my own visits, as i heard from our grantees, it became more overtly religious, more repressive, less tolerant. eventually turkey was itself a hot spot. the sub

greater challenge for this senate than to have the moral courage to choose country over party or over power. to choose justice instead of the few, justice for all, and to give others respect instead of condemnation. those of us who are fortunate enough to serve in this senate are also confronted daily by a set of obligations that we have when we take on this title of u.s. senator. we have an obligation to the people of this nation to do everything within our power to uphold the country's democratic institutions and to insist that the truth guide our public discussions even if doing so comes at the cost of short-term political loss. we, as senators, have been given the responsibility to provide advice and consent to the executive branch and we must take this charge seriously and with independence from another branch. we must uphold the rule of law and in doing so we must affirm that no one person is above the law. there are a great many challenges that our country faces and i call upon all of those of you who serve in this senate to act with moral courage when these obligations come calling in the future. as i

supreme court, merrick garland, heard -- >> i think you even wrote that they stole a justice from the democratic partyell, i think they did. i mean, to keep a supreme court seat open for a year, to deny a distinguished jurist, they could have voted him down. they could have said, "well, for ideological reasons, philosophical reasons, we're not going to vote for him." but no, they stonewalled. and that was such a breach of senate ethics and the constitutional responsibility of the senate to advise and consent on nominations, that you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. that's why i believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the house and/or the senate, that's when civility can start again. but until then, the only thing that the republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. and you heard how the republican members, led by mitch mcconnell, the president, really demeaned the confirmation process, insulted and attacked not only dr. ford but women who were speaking out. you know, look, i remember republican operatives shutting d
