A reader kate on the greek island of less theyve more health concerns. And eager beavers for the revival of these animals is so important to the english countryside. She spent a pillar of the fight for womens rights of the powerful liberal voice in the u. S. Now the death of a long serving Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg is poised to trigger a significant political battle just weeks ahead of the president ial election even as the 87 year old was dying from pancreatic cancer she passed on a plea that there should be no rush to fill the vacancy at americas highest course i was there as alan fischer looks at ginsburgs legacy. They started to gather on the steps of the Supreme Court in washington his use of Ruth Bader Ginsburgs death broke it brought flowers and candles the number swelled people marking a loss they felt personally. 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 due to our. 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 ginsburg 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 for 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 urged 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 a rally he only praised the justice ginsburg. Days youre like. What else can you say she was an amazing moment. In time she was an amazing woman. To me. 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 drug 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. There were almost 10 months to go before the election thats the position the state senate must take today 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 and alan joins us now live from outside the Supreme Court in washington. As the country began to mourn the loss of a powerful liberal voice than the political battle begins to brew what could happen next. Well it really Mitch Mcconnell will take his lead from the president if the president decides and its almost certainly he will put forward a nomination Mitch Mcconnell whos the republican leader in the senate would then help to organize Judiciary Committee hearings and the nominee would go in front of the committee would be asked questions if they get through that and with a republican majority you expect they would it would then go to the floor of the senate for a full vote can that happen before the election that might be different dont trump certainly has names of people he would like to put on the Supreme Court has already unveiled the list he would like to work his way through if he was given a 2nd term so you could easily pick one of the names from that list the question is can you get it done before the election on november the 3rd that might be a very tight time scale however there is the possibility that it could be done before the inauguration on january 20th so why is that a problem why does that create a constitutional crisis because of this the democrats say that the vacancy should be left open Mitch Mcconnell in 2016 when Antonin Scalia died said that there was no way that he was going to a decision about who was in the Supreme Court until the people had spoken no he says well theres a republican president and a Republican Senate therefore theyre absolutely within their rights to consider any possible nominee that the president puts forward that will anger and upset them and democrats also will perhaps upset Ruth Bader Ginsburgs family as well so if Mitch Mcconnell moves forward with this plan and say joe biden wins the election you can see why there is a constitutional crisis joe biden could then walk into a Supreme Court where there is a 60 majority in favor republicans and that could change the face of the judiciary here in the United States not just for one or 2 election cycles but perhaps for an entire generation and how what are his actions of hypocrisy play among republican senators and voters. Hard to judge although i suspect that given that one of the big pluses for donald trump 4 years ago was his determination to change the face of the judiciary in the United States it might not be a drawback that you think it would be as for Mitch Mcconnell he said in 2060 no you cant put someone on the Supreme Court until the elections be held this time around hes already made his justification the difficulties court is marshalling the votes no theres a number of republican senators who are in very tight races is there the possibility that they would want to cast a vote before the election yeah that could always happen who were talking about Susan Collins of maine perhaps even mitt romney whos not facing a challenge this time around but has been an outspoken opponent of donald trump and then there is the case of Lindsey Graham someone who in 2016 said there was no way he would for a president in an Election Year and so theyve still got to negotiate that so theres still a lot of ground to cover but you can see the can say on the basis for a constitutional crisis already been created at the moment. Live outside the Supreme Court in washington many thanks allen. But then arrests and better russas people continue to protest against president Alexander Lukashenko. And. Hundreds of people cannot sing through the city calling for luka shankar to step down protests were sparked by a disputed election last month a demonstration show no sign of slowing despite increasingly violent crackdowns by the police and thousands of arrests lets go live now to the serious stuff is that whats happening behind you with. In the past 3020 minutes or so hundreds of women who are participating in this peaceful march have been detained by tens of policeman they didnt even have enough for detention vehicles to put all these women into so behind me i step out of the frame you can see the backs of these policemen they all are away ringmaster women have for often try to reveal their faces by pulling away these masks lots of women were very much upset they were screaming there were people crying out there was one also in the total shock so an ambulance had to come it was quite aggressive and of course very intimidating people are now clapping because theres an opposition flag flying over or had that so far Something Police also its not very keen to see as you can hear disparate despite all this aggression and intimidation and these mass detentions is still high here among the people who are still not being detained 6 police this time not taken any journalist at least not so far and they are seem to be leaving right now theyve been here for yeah nice 20 minutes they rounded up the complete rally we saw around a 1000 women participating they made ground in the city they were scant and they were shouting look at shanghai has to resign they said they were defiant and they will continue to go to the streets and then some the police came and picked them all up so whats happened the running now is that it its over until that point that a lot of people out on the streets. Absolutely yeah the rally is i think over a mile because there are only a handful of people left some of them managed to actually really escape they ran away many of them are now hiding also behind these restaurants and shops here in this area but these people who have been detained down there are people women from above 70 years old so we know that a very very famous demonstrator 73 year old woman nina barking sky is also being detained she is inside of one of these so vehicles here so people are women from all ages are now being detained and driven to the attention Santos Police stations and theyre probably going to be there for a couple of days at least the right step for the moment many thanks indeed some fast reporting live from minsk election of only is walking again after a merge in from a coma a few days ago the russian Opposition Leader says that his recovery is going well but that it will take a long time hes being treated in germany has talked to say that he was poisoned with the russian nerve agent nor the chalk last month the carbon denies involvement and extent off a specialist on russia at a lecture in modern european history at Queens University belfast he says the vileness recovery work necessarily mean that hell return to his previous level of political activity. If he returns and he resumes he is there with dont like the weve got much less room for them to do anything about it because theyll be so its so much more. International attention paid to whatever they do of the content him on the regular basis as they used to the cons of wishing to jail in certain of the countries and him again if it was then we did it but at the same time. In the long run of on the itself he has to try to very careful line in a sense that he doesnt want to be appealed to on pity or tick in russian the russian public and its various westen calls for sanctions imposed on russia and individuals but also on. The gas pipeline which is being built and so forth really make make his situation within russia a little bit more precarious as well i would say with the public as well as the thirtys full of the northeast but if youre korea is will be just but as i think what we can say for sure is that its not going to be the same as it was before because for all the factors because of the poisoning because of the International Pressure and sanctions. And because of the him and other do the 3rd just cant treat him as as they used to treat him before so its a difficult one and im still not 100 percent sure that it would actually let him return to russia the could be a pressure for him just to stay away.
