Demonstrate their opposition to the rule of opting for tough a c c and the month that he resigns. Slogans like this say its outloud dont be scared of sisi has to go were heard in cairos one neighborhood. In the giza governorates which has been the epicenter since protests began last sunday police and other security personnel were deployed in force. This latest wave of antigovernment an anti military rule protests were triggered by ccs decision to demolish entire neighborhoods across egypt under the pretext that the homes were built illegally. These neighborhoods how some of the countrys poorest communities who have already been suffering the brunt of a faltering economy unable to cope with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic according to the world bank 70 percent of all egyptians 70 percent live under either under poverty or on the brink of poverty thats a situation thats and hannibal add to that the social and political constraints just yesterday 150. 00 appeared for the state Security Court im charges of terrorism because they were protesting in the street we know that terrorism charges in egypt are the ways in which the state clamps down on any bourses of dissent.

C. S. Rule lets see supporters particularly those who control egypts media will claim that these protests are marginal and largely in significance but the way in which the states is dealing with the protesters would suggest otherwise.

Well the trigger this time is that youre having massive home demolitions particularly in the rural areas because from 2000 to 2017 theres been 2000000 constructions that did not have authorization whether they were in urban primarily shanty towns or whether they were in rural areas on farm lands and so the government has been cracking down very aggressively and telling people if you do not either vacate if its farmland that they want to regain or if you do not pay fines what they call reconciliation where you pay a certain amount per Square Footage then the government is going to kick you out and ma wish the destruction so you can imagine the devastating effect that is in producing 2000000. 00 construction people who will be homeless in a country where the poverty rate is 33 percent which is 8 percent more than it was in 2011 around the revolution and at a time when inflation is almost 10 percent after being 30 percent for multiple years in a row after the revolution so this is create a significant hardship for hundreds of thousands if not millions of people all across egypt the number of people the number of confirmed covered 1000. 00 cases in the United States is now pos 7000000. 00 thats according to Johns Hopkins university and thats more than 20 percent of the worlds total reported infections meanwhile a study in the u. S. Says the reopening of University Campuses could be linked to more than 3000. 00 additional cases a day top Infectious Diseases expert anthony says he wants to see cases fall to below 10000 a day before the flu season starts in october president trying claims their country is relishing the corner on the crisis dr tom frieden is a former director of the centers for Disease Control and prevention he says the focus needs to be on longer Term Solutions and not just a quick fix. Its clear that different parts of the United States as different parts of europe are in very different places youve got the northeast and a few other states that have relatively low rates and have kept those low for many weeks now of other states with rapid increases one thing i think we need to be clear about is that we dont know what the flu season will look like this year in the Southern Hemisphere there wasnt a bad flu season so it may be that you dont have this kind of double trouble of flu plus coated but we do expect to see more code spreading in Colder Weather that would be expected and with people coming back to schools and colleges with not having consensus around mass wearing with not having good programs to test and trace people the u. S. Does not have the upper hand on the virus right now we hope there will be a vaccine rolled out through 2021 but thats not assured and even if theres a vaccine its not a fairytale ending to this pandemic with the vaccine were still going to need to be careful about interspaces be careful about hand washing and shaking hands and Wearing Masks do a good job of finding cases and contacts and outbreaks so that there isnt spread i think we need to get past the concept that we just need one thing and then this will go away we need to chip away at the risk of kogan and recognize that were all connected within countries and among countries and its an all of our best interest to Work Together to stop this pandemic and also be much better prepared for the next one. U. S. Media is reporting that President Donald Trump intends to nominate 48 year old amy coney berets a favorite with social conservatives to replace Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg on the Supreme Court members of congress have been paying their respects to ginsburg the 1st woman to lie in state in the u. S. Capital how does a castro has more. A military guard escorted Ruth Bader Ginsburgs casket up the steps of the u. S. Capitol on or a woman who helped transform life for millions of americans it is with profound sorrow and deep sympathy to the ginsburg family that i have the high honor to welcome Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg to lie in state the late Supreme Court justice was a champion for equal rights for men and women born to a world vastly different from the America Today in the 1950 s. Despite her brilliant mind and dog good work ethic she was demoted because of her gender and questioned for taking a mans spot in law school her tenacity and painstakingly thorough legal record eventually caught the eye of president bill clinton who nominated her to the Supreme Court ginsburg sat on the high bench for 27 years her diminutive size be lying her juggernaut status as a feminist icon for the left and voice for social justice through her scathing dissents. Lying atopic had a bill for president Abraham Lincoln ginsburg broke yet of final barrier becoming the 1st woman and 1st jewish person to be afforded the honor of lying in state at the u. S. Capitol as a lawyer she wanted quality for women and men not in one swift victory but brick by brick case by case through meticulous careful lawyer. She changed the course of american law. Democratic president ial candidate and former Vice President joe biden was among those who pay their respects at the end of a long struggle with cancer ginsburg dying wish was to have a new president named her replacement to the Supreme Court polls show a majority of americans feel the same but President Donald Trump plans to announce his nominee to fill ginsburgs vacancy saturday trump will nominate a conservative judge and Senate Republicans have the numbers to push through confirmation possibly before the november 3rd election that would give trump a significant victory to tout to his base the creation of an ironclad conservative majority in the Supreme Court whoever replaces ginsburg could wield key votes for upcoming cases on health care and abortion rights and as the president has acknowledged could even help resolve any legal challenge to the Election Results those powder keg circumstances fewer than 40 days before voters choose their president all but guaranteed contentious congressional hearings ahead but for now a last quiet moment beneath the u. S. Flag at half mast in honor of a woman who leaves the country more equal for individuals and more divided in politics. Castro aljazeera washington. Is. Isnt so over spring maryland has been looking at the career of a macone beret. There are several reports tonight that u. S. President donald trump has selected judge Amy Kone Barrett to take a position on the Supreme Court now she is beloved by conservatives but this would be a very controversial nomination because of her position its on things like abortion now she has not said that she would rule to outlaw abortion but in the public order she has made it much more difficult she has voted to take on difficult for women to access her pursued her and this is a very important position if shes nominated and confirmed that would mean there would be 6 conservative justices on the court compared to 3 liberals that could change policy for decades to come so the republicans say that they are going to push through with this even though theres less than 40 days till the election now point to point out the majority of americans think whoever wins the next election should in fact nominate someone to the Supreme Court but republicans say theyre going to push ahead but they have less than 40 days in till that election so theyre going to have to try and get her before all the members of the senate usually they all speak to her one on one that takes time then theyre going to have these hearings that are going to be widely watched and then they would have to try and get a vote and Mitch Mcconnell the Senate Majority leader could only lose 4 republicans if you wants to keep this vote go and hes already lost 2 so time is running against them but the process should begin with the official naming of the judge on saturday.
