Into a camp thousands of refugees are relocated on the greek island of less boss but there are new fears for their health and their safety. She was a pillar in the fight for womens rights and a liberal leader in the United States now the death of the long serving Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg is poised to trigger a significant political battle just weeks ahead of the u. S. 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 in horses americas highest legal body alan fischer looks at her legacy. They started to gather on the steps of the Supreme Court in washington as news 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 broke told one Television Interviewer no law firms wanted to hire a married mother i had 3 strikes against me when i was jewish. I was the mother of a 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 arge 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 justice ginsburg. Facing i mean what else can you say she was an amazing moment. In time she was an amazing woman. And in many ways you live. Near in there. 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 of 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. Or almost 10 months to go before the election. Thats the position the state senate must take today the republican leader in the Senate Mitch Mcconnell says he will press ahead with nomination hearings if given a name by donald trump that is almost certainly going to happen now he might not be able to get confirmation hearings done by the election in november but could possibly push them through by the inauguration in january and if joe biden wins the election that could create a constitutional crisis here in the United States ginsburg strive to maintain strong liberal voices on the Supreme Court to balance the conservative ones that her own voice has been silenced that balance under threat alan fischer aljazeera outside the u. S. Supreme court. Well the make up of the Supreme Court could now take a sharp turn to the Political Rights thats because President Trump will likely try to put a conservative successor in place even if he doesnt win the elections early november now the court is made up of 9 members and up to now it has been split 5 to 4 in the conservatives favor chief Justice John Roberts was appointed by a republican president but recently acted as a swing vote this year that helped secure narrow victories for the liberals on issues such as immigration and the portion rights appointing another conservative would tip the balance further to the right ahead of the forthcoming cases on same sex adoption and health care 2 mr trump has already named around 40 candidates to fill a Supreme Court vacancy scott lucas is cofounder of america unfiltered thats a News Analysis website focusing on u. S. Politics and u. S. Foreign policy he says the Supreme Court could take a much different path if a conservative gets the job the question is what happens to the largest city in many ways we have seen this summer in the United States with interracial and marches those issues of rights and justice that shes highlighted but what well see in the next year with leaks is the attempt especially by the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. Hypocritically given that he stood 4 years ago for almost a year and blocked an appointment by barack obama to the court will say we want to rush this nomination through and we know that not that donald trump will try to go for someone 1st and foremost as he sees not only as a diehard conservative but someone that will defend him in the white house theres a couple of headline names there like senator ted cruz senator tom cotton i dont think thats what youre going to get youre going to get a judge from the lower ranks of the federal system and its not a guarantee its not a guarantee that a trump appointee will always be the conservative we see his 1st conservative middle course which vote with the moderates on certain issues but i think on this occasion donald trump will go for someone whos a real fire breather someone who will go in and try to shrug for example Health Care Rights there obamacare that will try to possibly shred economic rights environmental protections and possibly go for Supreme Court justice and this will be a big election issue who will try to help overturn roe versus wade which was the key decision almost 50 years ago that guaranteed abortion rights for women ok lets wrap up some of the top stories for you tens of thousands of people are rallying against the government in thailand in the capital bangkok hundreds forced their way on to a University Campus today they are the latest demonstrations in months of demands by the student that movement for new elections a written constitution and reforms to the monarchy when hey is there. Its very much a festive atmosphere at the moment this is the largest political gathering weve seen in thailand since a military coup in 2014 this movement was started by students and certainly they are still of the center of it but its gone way beyond just a student protest and certainly this crowd is the most diverse that we have seen in recent months there are reasons for that the demands that the students have been making for political change in thailand for political reforms are resonating in many different sectors of thai society and this is also the anniversary of the military coup in 2006 that saw the democratically elected government led by former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra removed from office and many supporters of him and his government have come out to join this protest that started it tom i thought university across the road even though the University Said that they couldnt gather there the gates are eventually opened and they were able to go into the University Grounds and now they have spread their protest across the road here to a park known as someone its a Historic Site used for many royal ceremonies over the centuries but in recent years its been off limits to the public its been fenced off the protest leaders say they want to take it back for the people and thats exactly what ive done.

A growing number of coronavirus cases among refugees on the greek island of blairs boss is causing concern at least 214 factions have now been confirmed thousands of refugees are being moved into a new camp after the previous camp europes biggest band 10 days ago live to staff who joins us from. How many people have managed to get into a safe Living Environment in this new camp. If i show numbers are around 9000 each hour thats just in the last couple of days. This behind us its very windy today and you can see just how close this account is to the elements which i think does raise concern does raise questions are moving forward to see a lot of heavy machinery still coming in and out there still continuing to expand it to build it so i think were going to have to wait and see how things settle over the next couple of days and weeks as to how this cap is going. Into the lot but 8000 people so many people reluctant to come here but this is the results of todays. The Police Operation people off the streets and this is how it went down. Its a crush of broken hopes this suffocating heat not making their wait any easier on the 2nd day of a greek Police Operation to move refugees into the new camp on the island of lesbos we saw them rounding up hundreds of people in various areas making them wait before joining the long queues and. The situation is bad were unfortunately affected by problems created by others for example the afghans they do awful things who were put in the same basket theres no justice now the police came to our tents and kick us out what can we do as the day went on this road once packed with refugees and migrants almost empty some try to argue but there is no point the last few finally making their way to the new camp they prefer to sleep on the streets rather than move into the new facility aid agencies are concerned it is problems with the conditions. Especially today where the camp is not ready for the people of the 10012002 be taken to it what is it for are we talking about 2nd morea with the people piling up the terrible conditions or talking about a reception camp for transit of the population on their way to other places but were extremely worried that in fact its just a containment policy thats going to be maintained that is just going to keep people there for months on that or even years and in conditions that going to be productive worsening more usually this would be an ideal location nestled on the shores of a greek island but these tents are a symbol of broken policies of delayed bureaucracy as well as broken spirits and lives on hold. Instead of how well prepare the company if really gets a grip. I think the jurys out on that one what theyre doing at the moment peter is doing rapid tests what does that mean well that around 300. 00 within an hour were told the results take 15 minutes but at the same time we were talking to Doctors Without Borders yesterday who said that usually those tests there is some discrepancy in terms of the reliability and you should be following that up with other p. C. R. Test and thats not being done at the moment so i think were going to have to wait and see how things evolve i mean this island already had quite a high number what it comes to greece itself and of course the refugees that would all started it was 35 people testing positive for the road to a car intended morry account and there was a lot of you know the the feeling is that that that caused the fire to break out people to put that fire in protest of being quarantined so you now have as you mentioned 214 people they are quarantined most of these races to magic peter and so i think were going to have to wait and see whether there is a bigger problem here that expected time will tell but certainly it will be an issue because of course its already difficult to deal with around 12000. 00 people who are in morea camps and again the jurys out as to how they need to widen the you know. As you can see like were in a Gale Force Wind and you know its very very difficult to get things done in those conditions so i think its early days its already really the 1st day that everyone is out so were going to have to wait and see really over the next days and weeks how its going to cope ok stuff for the time being thanks very much stuff doc reporter from les pauls.
