Disasters as it tackles the worst flooding in a century. U. S. President donald trump says he could announce a nominee to replace Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg as early as next week ginsburg died on friday after a long battle with cancer democrats and even a few republicans say the replacement should not be nominated until after the president ial election but trump says he will most likely nominate a woman. Elaborate your plan ive had a shortlist for a while we added up for. People on the list to read his list we have about 45 altogether i do indeed have if you are ive got to know ive got to know many of them by that is probably from a legal standpoint from a. Sophisticated understanding of the law from a constitutional standpoint i think its the greatest list ever several and i think that the other side should show their radical left list and i think youll be surprised at what youre going. To. Well hes very highly respected i could say. I could see most likely it would be a woman i think i could say that it would be a woman i would if somebody were to ask me now i would say that a woman would be. In 1st life yes the choice of a woman i would say would certainly be. Appropriate. For. That extraordinary person ive heard a credible things about her i dont know or. She just panicked and highly respected miami highly respected. But one republican senator disagrees with trungpa Susan Collins from the state of maine says and i quote the decision on a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court should be made by the president who is elected on the member the 3rd thats a position republicans also took back in 2016 under obama when he tried to nominate a judge to the court before that years election when he just heard from talking about how he would most likely pick a woman to succeed ginsburg judge Amy Kone Barrett could be among the contenders shes popular among religious conservatives democrats are worried shes open to overturning a landmark case protecting abortion rights trump was directly asked about her by a reporter he described her as highly respected he also had warm words for a cuban american judge barber lagoa another conservative if confirmed she would be the 2nd hispanic to serve on the top court. Now in about an hours time the u. S. Will break in almost every other member of the u. N. Security council and reimpose sanctions on iran washington insists it has a legal right to do this as part of the Iran Nuclear Deal even though it pulled out of the agreement 2 years ago diplomatic editor james bays has more. Its aroud its even pitted the u. S. Against some of its closest allies its now over 5 years since the Iran Nuclear Deal was signed in vienna joining the negotiations the us team under the leadership of the then secretary of state john kerry devised a mechanism called snap back if iran breached its commitments all International Sanctions could snap back into place but thats not the way things played out the United States will withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal it was the u. S. Under President Trump that pulled out of the deal 2 years ago. Despite this in objections from the rest of the International Community the u. S. Still argues it could trigger a snapback the one thing that the Previous Administration got right is they created provision where under u. N. Security Council Resolution 2231. Any one of the nations identified there had the right to say we want the sanctions that were in place prior to this that moment to snap back and thats what well do the rest of the world have ignored the u. S. Declaration and in some ways more important than snap back is what happens on november the 3rd but one of the diplomats who negotiated the iran deal told me even if joe biden is elected president on that day getting back into the deal might not be that easy i mean i think it is easier some people have made it out to be. President im certain i want that yes and then. We go back to school and see i think actually your army wants you. Or that they made out and say she or the sanctions or other countries receive United States issues coming out of. Your ass so i think it is much more than just this issue yet diplomats say behind the scenes a great deal of pressure was put on the other members of the Security Council to support the u. S. Position only one country the small nation of Dominican Republic did whatever washington says it seems that the plan to snap back sanctions has failed james sirrah at the United Nations so how did we get to this point well in 2015 a raft of u. N. Sanctions on tehran were suspended following the signing of that landmark accord that also included a socalled snapback clause which allowed sanctions to be reimposed if tear on didnt keep its end of the deal well the u. S. Is now citing this very clear was even though it backed out of the deal in 2018 the u. S. Also tried to push through an indefinite extension of an iranian arms embargo shuttle to end on october 18th but failed but doug bandow was a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and joins us live now from washington d. C. Doug said the u. S. Would break with almost every other u. N. Security Council Member including its closest allies we must point out and declare the snapback sanctions against iran how significant is this dugong was it actually mean. Well its quite embarrassing for the United States it only got the Dominican Republic a very small country very close to the u. S. To support it 13 members refused to recognize this the u. S. Tried to bring it to the Security Council for discussion and it was rejected by the president and the Security Council at the time so look us looks very foolish and very isolated for that you know that a country of this power that has dominated the United Nations for so long to get so little support shows how badly the trumpet ministration has misjudged this issue so doug as you say the u. S. Tried and failed embarrassingly to extend an expiring arms embargo last month so now what can we expect in terms of this new rov to punitive measure and what could they actually look like well what the administration will have to do is create its own sanctions on this like it is done on other issues because no other member of the Security Council that matters is going to recognize them and most members of the United Nations will not recognize them so the only way the United States can move forward would be to have its own sanctions on other companies on other countries and that will create additional hostility which the u. S. Has run into because the prior sanctions that applied apply to European Companies and others so this again is another problem for the United States and doug some experts say look these not but sanctions will be aimed at provoking perhaps a confrontation with iran and the run up to the election so what political traction is this move likes to gain for trumpet hung do you think. I dont think it will gain him very much because it doesnt look like a success he is trying to push this he said to get an agreement from iran they will not give him that agreement all the public sees is further frustration and what theyve seen in the middle east is greater instability so i dont think this will help him he wants to look tough but he gets greater traction when he works on peace agreements in the middle east and actually achieve something this i think is a loser for him all right to doug bandow from the Cato Institute in washington d. C. Doug thank you for that. Straight to North Carolina now where President Trump is addressing our audience listening to what hes saying the hello. Great we have great republican senators we have great people and we have a great country thats really we have and were going to keep it. So we went in election and those are the consequences you know its called fill that seat and thats what were doing the Supreme Court was a very central issue in both the 2016 president ial election and then the 2018 midterm elections where by the way i didnt run you know we had a lot of people a lot of people said oh he really took a little bit of a shellacking not nearly as bad as others in fact we gained seats in the senate but they never talk about that they dont talk about that we gained nobody talked about it but we didnt run and i heard a lot of people heard sure will never voted 28 he voted no no vote everybody vote they just didnt i think we were like 9000000 people decided they wanted to wait and theyve waited and you see whats going on you see whats happening you see the ad to see has that we have which by the way we set a record in 2016 the bad news for the dislike President Trump there on the campaign trail already there in North Carolina lets go live now to pensacola pain in washington d. C. Patty said trump is already talking about his nominees for the vacancy Supreme Court postponed possibly is it that he can get this done before the u. S. Election. Its possible but not all that likely let me go through a couple of reasons why that is you know you just heard the president is promising the crowd that hes going to fill that seat he told reporters before leaving the white house that he likely would nominate a woman and he would do it soon possibly by this coming week unclear if hes going to wait for the funeral of Ruth Bader Ginsburg really was like but then the hour after they announced that she had passed the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell came out and said he was going to fill the seat despite the president that he himself said under president obama so heres the problem for the president and senator mcconnell they have 45. 00 days till the election most Supreme Court justices takes months in normal times they meet with pretty much every u. S. Senator its really a lobbying campaign to try and get this done 45 days thats going to be tough the other tough thing for the senator is what his own members have said on the record dont forget it was in march the president barack obama put up a nominee and the republicans at the time said no no you cannot put up a justice in an Election Year so now were 45. 00 days but were seen senators like Lindsey Graham who came out and swore that he would never put up a Supreme Court nominee in the middle of a president ial campaign hes now saying that hes fine with it that he thinks they should do it in the 45 days but he does senator mcconnell doesnt have huge numbers she just needs a couple of his own members to say no were not going to do that to really have a tough fight at his hands so far weve heard from 2 senators and 2 female republican senators who are pro choice say that they believe that this should be held until after the election so all eyes are going to be on a couple of republican senators they have very little time on the clock and very little room to maneuver with when it comes to the actual numbers and this just remind our viewers that this is a big deal both constitutionally politically talk us through what exactly is at stake. Well if you think about what is before the Supreme Court coming up its access to insurance for 20000000 americans its the strength of unions its gender equality issues its red lets not forget abortion so that is going to be a huge factor in this already pretty Chaotic Campaign so the history of this is republicans tend to vote more based on justices and the Supreme Court those who are pro life this is a central issue for them and we know that prolife issues drive them to the polls that really hasnt been the case in the past for democrats theyre not as motivated by the Supreme Court but this time it could be different because were talking about really establishes to mention a conservative court where even if they do you have a Supreme Court justice even if this chief justice who tends to sway a little bit and sometimes sides with the liberals this would completely make the Court Republican servant of it would likely put the right to an abortion at least in the line of fire they look like they would at least restrict access quite a bit so what weve seen is in this campaign its going to boil down to are there evangelicals who maybe had soured on the president s behavior but were going to hold their you know now theyll say ill hold my nose and vote for him because we could finally see abortion become illegal but on the other hand you could see this really fire up the democrats which hasnt been the case in the past and there is some evidence of that if you look at some of these Democratic Senate groups that are raising money theyve broken all kinds of records in the last 24 hours more than 45000000. 00 to just one organization the act blue fund so what youre seeing on line is just this massive amount of people sending in money well lot of people who havent sent in money before because this is an issue that matters enough that theyll send in money so its quite likely theyll be enough to send him to the polls all right ive got to go have a lot of us in washington thank you time for a short break here and aljazeera when we come back fears grow of a corona Virus Outbreak at a temporary camp on the greek and of lesbos softer more than 200. 00 migrants and refugees test positive story coming up more not stay with us.
