You average joes in yet but we have numerous women on the list that are thought to be 2 leading candidates amy Connie Bennett is an Appeals Court judge a favorite of conservatives and has been considered for earlier vacancies and theres barbara lagu up a letter moving from florida which would be the more Political Choice but the white house might not be able to push through any nomination before the election in the last 45 years the process has taken on average 68 days the election is just over 40 days away and theres questions about the president even making a nomination before november the 3rd is texas republican senator ted cruz is in no doubt that in order for a Supreme Court nomination to go forward you have to have the president and the senate in this instance the American People voted they elected donald trump but theres potential for the court to become the center of a constitutional crisis if republicans can push through a nomination before the election let me try to do it before the inauguration on january 20th but if joe biden wins that election that could cause problems the democratic leader of the house says the of ways to delay a nomination we have our options we have arrows in aquiver that im not about to discuss right now but the fact is we have a big challenge in at country republicans see the vacancy as an opportunity to change the face of the Supreme Court securing a conservative majority for years to come and they also believe it could galvanize support around donald trump both know and on election day and of people are talking about this theyre not talking about the u. S. Reaction to covert about unemployment or about health care all big issues before the death of a Supreme Court justice. Alan fischer aljazeera Washington Well meanwhile one of the rising stars of the Democratic Party had this message for the Republican Party leader in the senate to Mitch Mcconnell we need to tell him that he is playing with fire we need to make sure that this vacancy is protected that our election continues and that the American People have their say. Irans Supreme Leader is expected to speak shortly a day after the u. S. Made a unilateral move to reimpose sanctions against tehran its a move of the world powers that lacked legal basis Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speech comes ahead of the annual conference of the International AtomicEnergy Agency thats about to take place in vienna our correspondent joins us live from tehran what do we think were going to hear. Well this is 40 years since the start of the iran iraq war and usually they are events held down the country military parades usually here in the horizon is that the muslim of the former Supreme Leader and the founder of the Islamic RepublicAyatollah Khomeini but because of the covert 1000. 00 pandemic thats not happening this year and usually its not the Supreme Leader to the how many that speech is usually the president has and rouhani but because of that pandemic hes expected to speak it is the 40 Year Anniversary where over 200000 iranians lost their lives in that 8 year war and its also known for the use of chemical weapons by Saddam Hussein now we expect him to talk about the sacrifices of normal iranians juric that conflict but also the western support for Saddam Hussein and also some of the regional countries that supported iraq during that conflict and this was a conflict that shaped the political dynamics of iran but he is speaking a day after the United States said that the u. N. Sanctions are back in place president hasnt rouhani spoke yesterday and seemingly mocked the United States saying that their maximum Pressure Campaign had turned into maximum isolation so we expect him to at least talk about the sanctions against iran and also the isolation the United States is facing at the u. N. Security council and the u. N. In general and how iran is standing up to these sanctions so is the 40 Year Anniversary and it is a main event in iran considering the impact that conflict had on this country as youre talking to us and were showing pictures and im intrigued to know why there are pictures coming to us of i assume parliamentarians waiting to hear from the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and also every of the seat seems to have a picture of marnie there draped in some sort of mourning material you know so the presence of kassam still a mani even though he lost his life for 67 months ago the presence the specter of what he stood for still clearly part of the political religious mindset in iran. Absolutely we have to remember how many is the spiritual and political leader of this country hes world is absolute and on this occasion they are remembering cos and so the money who is considered a martyr and at least here in iran the idea of martyrdom is intrinsic its within the political fabric and theological fabric of the country and he did fight in the iran iraq war he made a name for himself during that conflict and forcing him to be seen as a martyr to be assassinated by the United States is seen as a very high religious status within iran and and still even just a few days ago we had the head of the g. C. And other military high ranking officials talking about still it and acting revenge for hes killing and again i go to the home and he was close to cos and so the money they were friends and he was seen to the money seem to transcend be above the kind of political differences in this country and even out on the streets here in the horizon and around the country there are still posters of course and so the money there are still billboards there are still people having his picture on their cars and on their motorcycles and even sometimes you see badges with pic pictures of course and for the money he was the this commander this general of the all could force which is a part of the revolutionary guard that deals with operations outside the country he was credited with defeating isis in iraq and stopping them reaching the borders of iran so it very an individual that holds a very high status here in iran and as far as iran is concerned chapter and gossips of the money isnt close because theyre still talking about revenge and theyre still trying to keep his memory alive at least the political establishment try to keep it trying to keep hes critical hes political memory hes hes status hes history hes contribution to iran alive and trying to capitalize on his memory because we saw hundreds of thousands of people come out for his funeral crowds that iran hasnt seen for a very very long time ok you keep us posted i know but in the meantime thanks very much big al jazeera correspondent in tehran. Protesters have defied Security Forces in egypt to stage antigovernment demonstrations the police fired tear gas in the capital cairo the demonstrators are calling for president Abdel Fattah Elsisi to step down protests continued into the night in cairo these are pictures of a march through one neighborhood demonstrators were chanting slogans against the military in egypt 2nd biggest city alexandria there was a heavy Police Presence a curacy had been heightened across the country after calls for Mass Gatherings by the exiled opposition figure mohammed ali the former contractor for the Egyptian Military is asking protesters to stay out until their demands are met to how do most egyptians unite out of love for the egyptian people take back your country again dont leave it in a hands down with the sisi regime down with this regime dont go home do not go if you go home they will detain us dont go home were in the streets and now we need to stay there. Well William Lawrence is a professor of Political Science and International Affairs at the American University he says most egyptians are still reluctant to take part in the demonstrations. Well theyre not that large not that widespread yet but thats largely because of the actions of the egyptian regime it was over a 1000 preemptive tensions that metro stations bus stations areas like this and theres been a crackdown arrests of intellectuals University Students so common citizens all to agree and larger protests i think whats important here is not. Their size and the focus though that theyre happening at all in such a tightly controlled situation and really provoked by nothing as this is just the anniversary of the protests last year now we do have an egyptian citizen dive or 2 or maybe 2 weeks ago you have a large lawsuit with us against the former prime ministers and i think that should be torture and so all of this is really about shining a spotlight on why speculate Rights Violations egypt and i expect larger future. For this continuing humiliation of egyptian. Regime officials and of course the Living Conditions getting steadily worse so i hope that comes together to create a certain how who will all of anger and then each potential protester has a choice do i go out and was being arrested risk if i arrested to have my family cracked down upon or am i gonna sort of play it cool and wait for a larger protest.
