Thailand tens of thousands are expected to turn out against the government. People across the United States and beyond are paying tribute to the u. S. Supreme Court JusticeRuth Bader Ginsburg she died at the age of 87. 00 she had pancreatic cancer a deficit if you can political implications as it comes just weeks before the u. S. President ial election ginsburg was a champion of womens rights and the leader of the courts liberal wing alan fischer looks back at her life and legacy. They started to gather on the steps of the Supreme Court in washington as news of Ruth Bader Ginsburgs death broke it brought flowers and candles the number swelled people marking a loss they felt passionately. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was physically small but her presence loomed large on the court she was a blunt talking liberal who often challenge her conservative colleagues on the bench born to jewish immigrants in Brooklyn New York in 1033 ginsburg was a brilliant student she was one of only one woman to enroll in Harvard University law school in 1956 later transferring to Columbia University where she graduated at the top of her class the skins book told one Television Interviewer no law firms wanted to hire a married mother i had 3 strikes against me when i was jewish. I was the mother of a 4 year old. But as the sixtys and seventys launched the Womens Movement ginsburg found a place in academia then as cofounder of a womens rights project for the American Civil Liberties union she wrote the 1st Supreme Court brief on gender discrimination after 12 years as an Appeals Court judge in washington d. C. President bill clinton appointed gives birth to the u. S. Supreme court in 1993 ginsburg proved to be a consistent liberal voice on the increasingly conservative high court she supported abortion rights and gender equality she also advocated using International Laws to shape u. S. Laws there spoke in ginsburg fought several battles with cancer her dying wish was the vacancy her passing creates will not be filled until after the election. Outside the court one trump supporter with a megaphone the president to move quickly he was joined by the chants of others the president has already unveiled a list of people he wants to put on the court if he wins a 2nd term but leaving around he only praised justice ginsburg. Facing life. What else can you say she was an amazing woman. She was an amazing woman. And 2016 Justice Antonin Scalia a republican choice passed before the president ial election the senate refused to confirm a democrat successor named by president obama democratic candidate this time around joe biden says there must be no decision until the election has passed voters should pick the president and the president should pick the justice for the senate to consider this was the position of the Republican Senate took in 2060. Or almost 10 months to go before the election. Thats the position the state senate must take today the republican leader in the Senate Mitch Mcconnell says he will press ahead with nomination hearings if given a name by donald trump that is almost certainly going to happen now he might not be able to get confirmation hearings done by the election in november but could possibly push them through by the inauguration in january and if joe biden wins the election that could create a constitutional crisis here in the United States ginsburg strive to maintain strong liberal voices on the Supreme Court to balance the conservative ones now her own voice has been silenced that balance under threat Alan Fischer Al Jazeera i would say the u. S. Supreme court will stay with this news. Is a democrat congressman he says fast tracking a replacement for ginsburg would damage the democratic process. Tragic out death of a short lady by statute but again on the bench and for america i think that everyone gravitated towards her particularly young people felt a keen interest in her and she was just tremendous and he started running a center now and supporter of the constitution the nation is very divided right now but there are strong feelings on both extremes i think we need to take a deep breath and move for expeditiously but carefully and of course. Weve seen the ports play a pivotal role in the last 3 and a half years in our democracy the courts have often have to step in to decide issues of off up right importance to the American People of great importance to the American People and very often a happy healthy the president i checked we havent even seen some of his appointees take positions that are not that way now perhaps of his liking but an attempt to fast track this nomination 47 days before the election and to stop that back ideologically you dont want to wait i will really up put some damage to our democratic process on a democratic system.

Hundreds of protesters in thailand to force their way onto a University Campus in bangkok for the latest antigovernment demonstrations months of student led protests and demanded new elections a written constitution and reforms to the monarchy when he joins us live from bangkok so when whats going on there how big is the process so far. Well i think its fair to say that the crowd is in the 10s of thousands probably the largest political gathering we have seen since a coup in 2014 i have to say its a very diverse crowd probably the most diverse that weve seen in recent months when these protests have been taking place still very much led by the students of thailand but were seeing supporters of previous governments come out again a much more diverse crowd one of the reasons for that of course is that the demands for political reform that the students have been making for the last few months are reverberating now around many different parts of time a society and this is also another significant anniversary in thailand september 19th marks the anniversary of another military coup in 2006 that saw the removal of a democratically elected government. Led by former Prime MinisterTaksin Shinawatra who remains a very popular political figure in thailand even though he continues to live in exile so were seeing a lot of supporters of him and his government come out as well so its gone way beyond just students but the moment it is peaceful all the protests in recent months have been peaceful no sign of any Police Intervention so far but they have given a notice to the protesters that they must take the park that sits just outside the University Short time ago the protests does streamed outside the University Campus into that park which in recent years has been off limits to the public the protest leaders said they wanted to take it back to the people with the police are now saying they must vacate that area and how much of an issue is this to be thing when the government and for the monarchy. Well so far the government has seemingly being willing to allow these protests to happen there been saying all the right things trying to placate the protest leaders of the same time though theres been this approach if you like with many protest leaders being arrested most of them have been released on bail but still facing some very serious charges including sedition and in recent weeks weve seen some pretty strong rhetoric from the Prime Minister. Who led that through in 2014 is still the Prime Minister now and he is the man that the protesters want gone from office and his government with him he just a few weeks ago said that if the protesters continue like this they risk creating even more divisions in thai society and seeing thailand end up ending up in gulf in flames and hes also trying to play the coronavirus card as well thailand has done a very good job of controlling coronavirus but he said on thursday in a televised nationwide address that if this gathering went ahead in big numbers then the protest is risk introducing a 2nd wave of the pandemic to thailand but seemingly. Judging by the numbers that have turned out so far there is no sign of the criticism taking any notice of what the Prime Minister said ok when many things weigh in here they will of course will keep us across all the developments when they happen.
