Disappeared in mexico new arrest warrants issued for members of the mexican military. And we look at the state election thats delivered a boost from malaysias beleaguered Prime Minister. Im side of all the latest sports news including and its caused an injury time penalty to down brighton and Manchester United their 1st me when of the season. We begin in washington this hour where the u. S. President donald trump will soon nominate the person he wants to replace the late Supremes CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg its widely expected that he will nominate judge amy carney barretts a favorite among religious conservatives and if confirmed her appointment would cement a solid conservative majority on the court potentially for decades to come so lets go live now to the white house and al jazeera can really help it so this is the formal announcement were about to get from President Trump but it wont be a big reveal kimberly. And we expect that we already know that it will be judge kone barrett that will be named to the high court now this is just a nomination but the secret getting out late on friday and while the white house refuses to confirm its highly believe that in fact this is the pick for replacing Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg and in many ways she is a polar opposite of judge ginsburg particularly when it comes to the issue of abortion rights and that is why many are concerned given that she has a background that is deeply religious many are fearful that this could in some way affect her decisions something she has denied repeatedly so were watching very carefully the u. S. President set to make this announcement in the rose garden any moment we know that he did meet with judge barretts number of times this week on monday and again on tuesday and as you reported she is highly popular with religious conservatives here in the United States and its believed that in many ways this appointment if in fact it is who we believe it is d is that in fact this would energize the president s base many who in recent years have been a little bit on the fence of being whether or not they want to vote for the president to be reelected the white house hoping that this will clinch that for the president allowing him a 2nd term we might be about to get the announcement kimberly and we know that the process is kind of move it will as quickly as the republicans can can encourage it to do so but nonetheless theres not a lot of time to vote on this before election day and actually here they are President Trump just emerging there in the rose garden. Thats right in terms of how this process could play out its unprecedented weve never had a process move at the speed at which this white house is hoping the confirmation of judge barrett could be watching very carefully it looks as if the president is now walking in and set to make that announcement momentarily but as we continue to watch the monitors what i can tell you is that this is just a nomination it needs to be confirmed in the Republican Controlled Senate its expected back and happen but again the timeline im president of were 38 days from the u. S. President ial election and theres a little bit of hypocrisy in all of this because donald trump has already made 2 appointments to the high courts and we know that previously barack obama also made 2 appointments when he attempted to make his 3rd it was blocked by republicans in the senate now they are pushing this through and Many Democrats upset about this given the fact that the argument made by republicans in president obamas term was were so close to the election let the American People choose their president and then make this appointment in this case they are doing just the opposite and as you can see there the u. S. President walking towards the podium and i am looking i have to be it doesnt appear that his nomination is judge sarah thank you shes my 3rd search nomination after Justice Gorsuch and Justice Cavanaugh and it is a very proud moment indeed. Over the past week our nation has mourn the loss of a true American LegendJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg was a legal giant and a pioneer for women her extraordinary life and legacy will inspire americans for generations to come.

Thank you very much mr president i am deeply honored by the confidence that you have placed in me i am so grateful to you and the 1st lady to the Vice President and the 2nd lady and to so many others here for your kindness on this rather overwhelming occasion i fully understand that this is a momentous decision for a president and if the senate does me the honor of confirming me i pledge to discharge the responsibilities of this job to the very best of my ability i love the United States and i love the United States constitution i am truly. I am truly humbled by the prospect of serving on the Supreme Court should i be confirmed i will be mindful of who came before me. The flag of the United States is still flying at half staff in memory of Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg to mark the end of a Great American life Justice Ginsburg began her career at a time when women were not welcome in the Legal Profession but she not only broke glass ceilings she smashed them for that she has won the admiration of women across the country and indeed all over the world. She was a woman of enormous talents and consequence and her life of Public Service serves as an example to us all particularly poignant to me was her long and deep friendship with Justice Antonin Scalia my own mentor justices scalia and ginsburg disagreed fiercely in print without rancor and person their ability to maintain a warm and rich friendship despite their differences even inspired an opera these 2 Great Americans demonstrated that arguments even about matters of great consequence need not destroy affection and both my personal and professional relationships i strive to meet that standard i was lucky enough to clerk for Justice Scalia and given his incalculable influence on my life i am very moved to have members of the school lay a family here today including his dear wife maureen i clerked for Justice Scalia more than 20 years ago but the lessons i learned still resonate his judicial philosophy is mine to a judge must apply the law as written. Judges are not policy makers and they must be resolute and setting aside any policy views they might hold the president has asked me to become the 9th justice and as it happens im used to being in a group of 9 my family our family includes me my husband jesse ama vivian peter liam juliette and benjamin fit in and john peter as the president said were born in haiti and they came to us 5 years apart when they were very young and the most revealing fact about benjamin our youngest is that his brothers and sisters and reservedly identify him as their favorites of bling our children obviously make our life very full while i am a judge im better known back home as a room parent carpool driver and Birthday Party planner when schools went remote last spring i tried on another hat jesse and i became cold principals of the barrett learning academy. And yes the list of enrolled students was a very long one our children are my greatest joy even though they deprived me of any reasonable amount of sleep i couldnt manage this very full life without the end wavering support of my husband jesse. At the start of our marriage i imagine that we would run our household as partners as it has turned out jesse does far more than his share of the work to my chagrin i learned a dinner recently that my children consider him to be the better cook for 21 years jesse has asked me every single morning what he can do for me that day. And though i almost always say nothing he still finds ways to take things off my plate and thats not because he has a lot of free time he has a busy law practice its because he is a superb and generous husband and i am very fortunate jesse that. Jesse and i have a life full of relationships not only with our children but with siblings friends and fearless babysitters one of whom is with us today i am particularly grateful to my parents mike and linda conny i spent the bulk of i have spent the bulk of my adulthood as a midwesterner but i grew up and their new orleans home and as my brother and sisters can also attest mom and dads generosity extends not only to us but to more people than any of us could count they are an inspiration it is important at a moment like this to acknowledge family and friends but this evening i also want to acknowledge you my fellow americans the president has nominated me to serve on the United StatesSupreme Court and that institution belongs to all of us if confirmed i would not assume that role for the sake of those in my own circle and certainly not for my own sake i would assume this role to serve you i would discharge the judicial oath which requires me to administer Justice Without respect to persons due equal rights to the poor and rich and faithfully and impartially discharge my duties under the United States constitution i have no illusions that the road ahead of me will be easy either for the short term or the long haul. I never imagined that i would find myself in this position but now that i am i assure you that i will meet the challenge with both humility and courage members of the United States senate i look forward to working with you during the confirmation process and i will do my very best to demonstrate that i am worthy of your support thank you. And. As president earlier pointed out this is now his 3rd pick for the u. S. Supreme court judge a meek only barrett who we were just hearing from there she has been nominated by the president just 38 days away from the u. S. Election a decision that will result that could result in a decisive shift in a conservative direction in the highest court in the country if she is eventually confirmed and of course we know that Senate Republicans are going to move very quickly to confirm the president s choice before the election takes place in november following all of this our White House Correspondent kimberly whole kit and of course kimberly this comes at a really critical time for President Trump when momentum in the polls is with his rival for the white house joe biden. Absolutely in the polls also show that most americans believe that the election should be held 1st before this replacement nomination was to be announced but the u. S. President moving ahead and as you mention the timeline very tight we know that the confirmation hearings for amy kone parent to be appointed to the Supreme Court will take place somewhere in the neighborhood of october 12th with a vote coming sometime around october 29th remember the u. S. Electio
