Violent arrests. Immersed in devastation sudan grapples with the aftermath of record floods plus. I wont be putting forth anomaly next week it will be the. Battle to replace Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg intensifies in the u. S. We begin this hour with iran threatening the United States with a crushing response to their efforts to reimpose sanctions the u. S. Has triggered a socalled snap back of the sanctions which were lifted in the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal but every other permanent member of the United Nations Security Council rejects the u. S. Sanctions plan around president Hassan Rouhani is urging the u. S. To respect International Law he also praised world powers to standing up to american pressure. Because here. We could see the u. S. Lost 3 times in the span of a month but the un Security Council the americans always thought that they had the upper hand at the Security Council for many reasons including enjoying the veto power and having traditional friends they never imagined to be defeated at the same council we saw 13 out of the council 15 Member States seductive the u. S. They supported the j. C. And rejected the United States today we can say the u. S. Policy of maximum Political Legal pressure against their Indian Nation turned into maximum isolation for the United States. The u. S. Backed out of the Iran Nuclear Deal 2 years ago because of the as britain france and germany say the u. S. Has no right to reimpose sanctions u. S. Secretary of state isnt backing down my call though threatening what he describes as consequences for u. N. Member states failing to comply with u. S. Sanctions on iraq as a bag has more from tehran. President hasnt rouhani made this televised address Cabinet Meeting the weekly Cabinet Meeting now we were expecting this we were told 20 minutes before he went to air and very much is taking advantage of this split the United Nations Security Council he china and russia who have been friends of iran and if that vote had happened at the United Nations russia and china would have vetoed it that was irans understanding but also he thanked those members of the Security Council those Member States that stood up to the United States and dont want those sanctions imposed and this is an Unprecedented Division at the United Nations and iran is really capitalizing they see this as a diplomatic victory. Diplomatic battle has been going on for a while now and the United States is internationally isolated and iran feels that the odds are stacked in its favor but what iran does next very much depends on what the United States does in polls those u. N. Sanctions or they are back in place everyone else disagrees but United States thinks that they are so whatever the United States does iran will respond and the rhetoric coming out of ron is that that response will be decisive against the United States and the really issued some warnings aaron is that iran analyst he says u. S. Allies are now brett breaking with washington. Foreign policy in the u. K. Is basically in lockstep with the trumpet ministration on almost everything hyper example last year is. The juror of the iranian vessel headed to syria. That i was told from the Spanish Foreign minister that the u. K. Was actually involved in an in in order in the theater. I think what we can read from dominic rock you say Foreign Ministers split from the u. S. And with the with the other members of the 3 fronts in germany is that it just a totally unreasonable american demand no one in the no one in the u. N. Vote except the Dominican Republic supported not fact of u. S. Sanctions of u. N. Sanctions rather simply because the u. S. Left the j. C. Your way and most people see this has to do with american domestic is that. On fire has been really things information about. Attempts to assassinate u. S. Ambassadors and in in south africa hes got a habit of taking on verified intelligence and just putting out in the media it seems to be that americans are looking for political cover to basically escalate something perhaps by seizing. Incoming traffic into iran maybe in the straits of hormuz or something that is all about the election and the received wisdom is that during elections elect florence flock to incumbents in times of war and thats been widespread speculation that this is what the administration is up to.

U. S. President donald trump says he will announce a nominee to replace Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg as early as next week crowds continue to gather outside the u. S. Supreme court to own a ginsburg who died on friday the 87 year old was a pioneer of womens rights tributes have been pouring in from across the political divide but with weeks to go until the president ial election republicans want to cement a conservative majority on the course i will be putting forth a nominee virtually it will be former. Governor would you rather. A woman on the Supreme Court yes woman yes the 8th with us thom tillis osea joe would you rather work or would you rather have a man on the Supreme Court. Lets pick now to elevation in washington d. C. So allen the political implications the ramifications of the Supreme Court vacancy continue. And theyre going to continue for some time this is a big political when for donald trump it gives him the chance to go in front of the crowds and talk about filling the seat and lets the crowd chant fill that seat he gets to talk about the fact that hes already had 2 Supreme Court justices confirmed he can talk about the number of justices a lower level hes managed to push through and to degree it reminds people that a lot of them actually voted for donald trump because of his position on appointing conservative justices to the court and if youre talking about the Supreme Court were not talking about the unemployment figures youre not talking about 200000 dead because of corporate youre not talking about other issues Like Health Care which could well up end up in front of the Supreme Court so donald trump likes this and hes certainly been milking it over the last 48 hours talking about how hes going to appoint a woman what is interesting sign of politics of course is that when joe biden announced that he was going to pick a woman for his Vice President ial candidate donald trump said that might be discriminatory he has got no qualms about considering that for the Supreme Court so at some point within the next 7 days we expect donald trump at the white house to announce who he would like to see as the next Supreme Court justice or policing Ruth Bader Ginsburg and alan were expecting to hear from democratic president ial hopeful joe biden in the coming hours. What do you think hes likely to say and what options did the democrats really have here. Well nancy pelosi who is the leader of the house has been speaking and we can get to that in a 2nd what joe biden is going to say is that donald trump should not make any nomination to the Supreme Court that he should wait and let the people speak that something something that the republicans are keen to do donald trump says hes going to make an announcement what is interesting is that the process of nominating a Supreme Court justice over the last 45 years has taken on average 68 days now if you look at the calendar there are 44 days to the election and that lays the groundwork for a potential constitutional crisis here in the United States because donald trump might well name his successor the successor to Ruth Bader Ginsburg the republicans may well move to vote on the house but at least 2 republicans have said that they dont think its proper to have a vote before the election thats Lisa Murkowski from alaska and Susan Collins from maine we need do you need one other republican to fall the way and say theyre not going to vote either because remember although the senate is 100 members Vice President mike pence has the casting vote there so theres a potential that it might not go to a vote before november the 3rd however if Mitch Mcconnell decides to push it through in whats known as the lame duck session between the election and the beginning of january when the new Congress Takes its seats well theres a poor problem there because if he pushes through the nomination in the lame duck session and joe biden has won the election then you have a problem because people are saying to joe biden look if that happens youve got to pack the court as they call it which means nominate more justices to the Supreme Court it doesnt have to be 9 it could be 11 it could be 13 it could be 21. 00 and you could build in a democratic majority so its going to be interesting to see how this plays out over the next couple of days that. Its couple of weeks and the next couple of months but as i say for donald trump if youre speaking at the Supreme Court you know speaking about health care you know speaking about corporate and you know speaking about unemployment he sees that as a big win thanks for alan fischer live for us in washington d. C. Well as i mentioned democratic candidate joe biden is expected to link this Supreme Court appointment to health care we talked to Harold Pollack a professor at the university of chicago about that and he explained why obama Era Health Care legislation is it stank. The Affordable Care act which is sometimes called obamacare is the centerpiece that provides Health Insurance for millions of people in the United States and it is currently under legal assault and there is a court case that may invalidate the law. And it and if that were true that would actually remove Health Coverage for you know many millions of americans and also and also call into question the protections that Many Americans have who want to buy Health Insurance and who have preexisting Health Conditions and who you know Health Insurance companies if they were allowed to charge people more money if they say had a previous coben infection or another kind of Health Problem that would of course be huge issues with millions of americans i think the majority of americans do not want to see the Affordable Care act overturned but among the americans who strongly favor the public and party there is a core of voters who are very very motivated by the Supreme Court and those people are going to be quite important in the election so theres no question that if the Supreme Court overturned the Affordable Care act it would be extremely unpopular but there is a group of americans who you know who would welcome that outcome i suspect that i think in the long run that would be a very damaging thing for the american Supreme Court because it would be seen as the death of one justice and a politically partisan replacement you know ending up having a huge impact for millions of americans that would be very damaging to their legitimacy if the Court Process which is nominally nonpartisan Persons Health minister is warning the country is at a Tipping Point in the fight against the koran a virus that has called says if people dont follow Health Measures new restrictions could be brought him out of eyes cases in the u. K. Have risen sharply in the past few weeks on saturday the government announced fines of up to almost 13000. 00 for people caught breaking self isolation phones in england. Hundreds of people are rallying in the german city of double goals against coronavirus restrictions organizes held similar rallies across the country on saturday germany reported its highest daily infection rates in april with more than 2000 new cases.

Thats not what the doctor sign its not what the doctor in europe is signed you go to say it off. Tens of thousands of times protesters have ended a new round of demonstrations by presenting a set of demands to the monarchy it calls for the kings power to be limited and you constitution elections criticism of the monarchy is illegal in thailand demonstrators placed a plant next to the grand palace in bangkok declaring the nation belongs to the people more protests are planned for thursday and a general strike next month when he has more from bangkok. While the significance 1st of all is the location where the protest was held tens of thousands of people turning out on saturday and where this park has been play some of the wiring which is the park that you mentioned just across the road from the grand palace its a Historic Site its been the scene of many royal ceremonies for centuries and it used to be a place that was open to the general public to use during the day as well but in recent years thats not been the case its been off limits to the public so the protest leaders made it clear that that was one of their targets they wanted to retake this park for the people and thats exactly what they did and in the early hours of sunday morning they dug up a section of the concrete in the park and place this plaque into that area and now the significance of the park itself is that it commemorates the 1932 revolution that turned thailand from an absolute monarchy into a constitutional one so the plaque says that thailand is for the people not just for the king 3 years ago an official park in another location nearby mysteriously disappeared overnight so that was seen by many certainly the protesters here and as another sign that the king was strengthening his power and perhaps turning thailand back into an absolute monarchy again.
