Welcome to the program our top story this hour tributes are being paid to u. S. Supremes Court JusticeRuth Bader Ginsburg has died aged 87. 00 while many are remembering her legacy as a champion of womens rights a political fight is also brewing over what happens next republicans want to name her successor immediately President Donald Trump is tweeted hell do so without delay but democrat challenger joe biden is saying the next president should decide alan fischer reports. Became tilly tributes to pay their respects to mark the passing of a woman few here knew but all respected a loss they felt personally even if Ruth Bader Ginsburgs decisions from the Supreme Court mean not to touch their lives she 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. A 4 year old. That is 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 gives birth 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 us laws there spoke in ginsburg fought several battles with cancer her dying wish was the vacancy her passing creates will not be filled until after the election. We started to gather at the court soon after her death was announced their numbers grew there were hundreds the. One time supporter with a megaphone arch the president to move quickly he was strained 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 hell be praised the justice ginsburg. Days your life. What else can you say she was an amazing woman. She was an amazing woman. Mazie who. Actually said here that. And 26 thieves Justice Antonin Scalia a republican choice passed before the president ial election the senate refused to confirm but there were crowds successor named by president obama democratic candidate this time Roger 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. There were almost 10 months to go before the election thats the position the state senate must take today ginsburg strive to maintain strong liberal voices on the Supreme Court to balance the conservative wants but her own voice has been silenced that balance under threat and alan joins us live now outside the course of course in washington and allan people that are still paying their respects what is the latest reaction and what more do we know about where public and plans to fill justice can backseat. Well people have been here for all throughout the day since late last night people started to turn up here have been crowds in the hundreds of people coming in going through the dealing flowers laying candles placing small tributes to Peter Ginsberg politically the reaction has been very much as you would expect dont trump says hes going to push ahead with the nomination hes already unveiled a list of people he would like to see on the Supreme Court if he was given a 2nd term well pick one of those names and put it into the mix Mitch Mcconnell who is the leader of the Senate Republicans he said he will take that nomination and he will put it to a vote as quickly as he possibly can thats interesting because 4 years ago when Antonin Scalia a conservative justice died Mitch Mcconnell said that he wouldnt put forward anyone for a vote during an Election Year the difference this time he says is that there is a Republican Senate and a republican president so hes going to push forward with that heres where the problem might come around if he decides to start that process theres still got to be hearings and veterans of anyone who has suggested theres a possibility he might be able to get the vote done before the election but theres also the possibility that a number of republican senators would feel uncomfortable with that vote if he does manage to get through before the election or if it goes as long as the inauguration after the election and see joe biden wins there is the potential here in the United States for a constitutional crisis and joe biden will come under pressure if you wins that election and he is handed essentially a conservative justice to what is known as the Court Essentially expand the number from one justices to many more and put more democrats onto the court than republicans so you can see why this is a huge political question with just 45 days to the election and more broadly whats at stake for the country why is the way the Supreme Court leans cell important. Well as america has become more partisan theres a lot of legislation ends up here in the building behind me for the justices the decide remember 3 branches of government in the United States theres the president ial theres the legislative senate and house of representatives and there is the Supreme Court and weve seen a number of cases end up here youre talking about Marriage Equality and the drop in the Supreme Court youre also talking about cases around obamacare ended up in the Supreme Court theres another case heading in the direction of the Supreme Court which would discuss preexisting conditions the republicans want to scrap some of them nope dont trump says hes going to protect them but thats not what his party is doing in the Supreme Court so there are lots of questions add to that could be disputed election could end up in the courts remember that happened in 2000 and also theres a possibility of donald trump faces legal action criminal legal action for some of the things hes done in office after the election if he loses there is the possibility that could end up here as well and then hed be facing 9 justices 3 of whom hes appointed you can see why its such a big deal to decide who sits on the u. S. Supreme court all right thank you very much alan fischer in washington.

Play style as arrived her women are running away they are trying to hide and to go shops and restaurants here in this area. Better panicky and out. Of the deal because of the. Sense of women by now have already been put in the detention vehicle some of them quite aggressively are pushed inside they keep pushing the press away all the time as well they also have of course been detaining journalist over the past weeks as well so everyone has to be really careful here. Some women are really emotional some are crying and shaking out of fear because so very intimidating they also have in the past been trying to grap them actually reveal their identities to make sure that they will be held accountable for what they have done. Well to the coronavirus now it has infected close to 31000000 people worldwide and killed almost a 1000000 so far a 2nd wave of infections is feared in many countries the United States continues to be worst affected with close to 7000000 infections in nearly 200000 deaths indias added more than 93000 new cases to its total of more than 5000000 germany has recorded its highest daily number of new infections since april in parts of spains capital madrid a gearing up for stretches affecting 850000 spaniards persons Prime Minister saying a 2nd wave of infections is being seen here and new National Restrictions might be necessary to deal with that rise in numbers is despite a testing crisis in the country and fears of a coronavirus outbreak at a new migrant camp on the greek island of less force arising at least 214. 00 people have been quarantined after testing positive for covert 19 around 9000. 00 migrants have moved to the temporary camp after the previous site burned down last week authorities believe the fire was set by migrants angry at virus isolation procedures Stephanie Decker is a temporary campsite set up by the authorities while migrants have severely criticised the conditions. People are starting to settle into their new reality which is life in this new camp an emergency camp its very windy today open to the elements one thing people have been concerned about was not being able to leave thinking that they would perhaps be stuck in there calling it a potential jail but from what weve been seeing as people are being allowed moving in and out of the camp the authorities here are telling us that people are free to move to go and buy supplies groceries until 8 pm in the evening weve seen people queue up outside a supermarket just down the road where they can buy groceries and this is what they had to tell us about what its like inside the camp for the car going up from all over the conditions are really bad inside theres just a tent and people are sleeping on the floor the conditions are horrible and have used to know that all through no toilets for the toilets you have to go outside these are some of the videos that have emerged from inside showing the horrendous conditions of the toilets. And this is really only early days when it comes to dealing with thousands and thousands of people so time will tell how this camp is going to come together its still being constructed agencies are still getting their act together but certainly the message from people inside is that the conditions are challenging what people want is to get off the island many of them have been waiting over a year for their asylum say papers to be processed for their requests to be processed and that is a process that is going to be restarted soon but certainly the message from the authorities here it doesnt seem that these people have been waiting for so long already are going to be leaving the island any time soon.

While we here whats the basis that motivates this congress to impeach me which is the justified cause that until now cant be proven let me and my man but many lawmakers who voted to impeach didnt give him the benefit of the doubt blank yet not only in that area all politicians must be ethical and we must demand Good Behavior thats why we must penalize the behaviors that go against the dignity appropriate for the most important job in the country. There were many different opinions throughout the proceedings some lawmakers condemned the president others said he was morally unfit to govern but the consensus was that he must be investigated but the law protects president s from prosecution until the end of their term making national. I will not accept the accusations against me by a biased i ask what is the crime im not saying things shouldnt be investigated on the contrary im the 1st to be interested that the truth is known. Since he took over the presidency met these cover confronted political enemies 7 cabinets ousted more than 60 ministers resigned he deserved Congress Last year despite surviving the impeachment the 50. 7 year old leader has only a few allies in the legislature with little support he must rely on Popular Support from peruvians i was 10 months to go until his term ends 79 percent said he should stay i guess im just im just too.
