To keep up the pressure on president Alexander Lukashenko. And disharmony in chile avi Indigenous People in boiled in a land dispute thats getting more dangerous. And i welcome to the program our top story democratic president ial nominee joe biden as Senate Republicans to do what is right following the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg speaking at a Campaign Event in pennsylvania he also said the Late Supreme Court justices wish not to be replaced until after the election should be on it President Donald Trump is that hell announce a nominee to replace series early as next week alan fischer reports now from washington. The Supreme Court has suddenly become the dominant election issue in the United States donald trump says hes going to move forward with filling a big can see this week democratic challenger joe biden says with ellie voting already underway that simply wrong the people of this nation are choosing their future right now as they vote to jam this nomination through the senate is just an exercise in raw political power. No i dont believe the people of this nation will stand for. President trump told a rally in South Carolina on saturday hes sending his nomination for consideration to the senate this week it will be a woman a very talented very brave if. You average joe is in yet but we have numerous women on the list that are thought to be 2 leading candidates amy Connie Bennett is an Appeals Court judge a favorite of conservatives and has been considered for earlier vacancies and theres barbarella go up a lot to move in from florida which would be the more Political Choice but the white house might not be able to push through any nomination before the election in the last 45 years the process has taken on average 68 days the election is just over 40 days away and theres questions about the president even making a nomination before november the 3rd texas republican senator ted cruz is in no doubt that in order for a Supreme Court nomination to go forward you have to have the president and the senate in this instance the American People voted they elected donald trump but theres potential for the court to become the center of a constitutional crisis if republicans can push through a nomination before the election let me try to do it before the inauguration on january the 20th but if joe biden wins that election that could cause problems the democratic leader of the house says the of ways to delay a nomination we have our options we have arrows in aquiver that im not about to discuss right now but the fact is we have a big challenge in our country republicans see the vacancy as an opportunity to change the face of the Supreme Court securing a conservative majority for years to come and they also believe it could galvanize support around donald trump both know and on election day and of people are talking about this theyre not talking about the u. S. Reaction to covert about unemployment or about health care all big issues before the death of a Supreme Court justice. Alan fischer. Washington. Well john hendren joins us live now hes been following this story and so it was that the problem for the democrats is that its very difficult to do anything to stop this as tight as the timescale might be for the republicans. Thats right if this nomination goes forward before the election that the republicans in the senate will have a 53 to 47 majority that means theyve got 4 votes to spare and even if they lost a couple the Vice President of the United States is allowed to come in and be a tie breaker so its really important whether they do this before the election or after afterwards there are 6 very vulnerable republicans so the senate could possibly flip to democrats you could have a democratic president and a Democratic Senate next time around so that who the nominee is depends very heavily on what the timing is and republicans have shown every sign that they are going to push this forward Mitch Mcconnell the Senate Majority leader republican held on to the nomination of Merrick Garland when that was given by president barack obama for 237 days but now he says that President Trump and the senate are both in republican hands and that therefore he has every authority to go ahead there are a couple of republicans who are wavering Susan Collins of maine Lisa Murkowski of alaska have both both of them republicans have said that they think that the nomination should be made after the election but this is really the kind of exercise in political power that weve seen over and over again normally as you heard in alan fishers story there it takes longer than the 40 days that are left before the election in order to nominate and approve a Supreme Court nominee but of course the new president doesnt take hold in the new congress until january so this could still be pushed forward in a Lame Duck Congress even if the entire process is not completed by the election bottom line republicans look very likely to push this through and unless there is some outbreak of conscience on behalf of a larger number of republicans that we have seen so far theres every reason to believe that they could achieve that of course a c 3 in coal has the capacity to affect every facet of life there in the u. S. How much of a an election issue is this going to be could it potentially play and get it what bidens advantage of people feel as though its the winner of the election that should nominate replacement. It could indeed polls suggest that a majority of americans want this nomination to happen after the election and they suggest that democrats are animated over this a f Democratic Fund raising group broke all of its previous records in the our 1st hour the 2nd hour after it was an answer Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died on friday and they have raised 100000000. 00 since that time so theres every reason to believe that democrats will be energized theyll come out and vote on this and polls suggest they will and right now biden is leading in National Polls and hes leading in every battleground state however hes leading by small margins as little as 2 percent to 6. 5 percent and in the crucial state of florida which jim which donald trump probably needs in order to win this election there is a 1. 00 percentage point difference and we know from the 2016 election that trump has outperformed polls in the past so this election will be crucial but democrats suggest that they will be coming out in large numbers according to every poll that we have seen and theyre raising a lot of money to oppose this process thanks so much john hendren. Irans president is saying the u. S. Faces certain defeat after it made a unilateral move to reimpose sanctions. Never to yield to american bullying claiming that washingtons latest move to pressure to iran is left isolated from the International Community the u. S.

Latest is that the government has revised the numbers upwards up 2700000 people have been affected in 17 or 18 states that sudan is composed of says the Government People put in many parts of the country. How small the recession of the flood waters have been mainly due to heavy rains pounding on the done but also the highlands of ethiopia where. The source of the blue nile is for the pushing more water into these tributary of the nile which has been mainly responsible for the flooding weve seen in the past weeks and months so what we see goes to action where they also stagnant water sliding around almost 17 states and there are concerns the could be outbreaks of diseases like malaria dengue fever all of them caused by the mosquito as well as call it isnt true because of thousands of put latrines being destroyed during the floods and emptying their contents into the floods that are still lingering in most parts of sudan well more more protests have been taking place calling for the resignation of israels Prime Minister its the 13th week in a row that thousands of people have been gathering in front of Benjamin Netanyahu his official home in west jerusalem demonstrators accuse him of mishandling the pandemic causing thousands of job losses while his trial on corruption charges also continues. Russian warplanes have carried out as strikes in northwestern syria they targeted an area just west of the city of where there are no residential buildings of western syria is one of the part of the country being held by rebels who are fighting against government forces. Well now people moving into a new refugee camp on the greek island of les boss of describe the conditions as horrible around 9000 people have arrived at the new settlement in the past few days they were displaced almost 2 weeks ago after the morea camp down leaving 12000. 00 people homeless many dont want to go to the new camp demanding instead to be taken to the greek mainland well stephanie deca is at a less boss camp. People are trying to settle into a camp which seems to be pretty much not ready for the around 9000 people who were put in here over the last couple of days part of that greek Police Operation to get them off the streets since mori account birddog almost 2 weeks ago now so weve been seeing people throughout the day they are free to come and go as they please more or less at some point today where they were told to close the gates but in general they are free to do so until the sun sets getting mattresses and supplies to try and make these tents somewhat more comfortable there is no nothing on the ground at sandy ground pebbles a lot of people telling us you know where they have to sleep theres just very thin blankets and they can feel the stones its getting colder you can see its incredibly windy its getting colder already you can only imagine what winter will be like which is only a couple of months away the question is this is supposed to be a temporary camp but i think i think its safe to say that there wont be a new count built in the next couple of months and the weather is only going to get worse so i think that is certainly a challenge ahead. Now the chief medical officer for england is that the country is at a critical point in the coronavirus pandemic with a challenging winter ahead it comes as the u. K. Recorded just under 3900 new cases of the virus Health Minister says that if people dont follow social distancing rules new restrictions including a 2nd National Long down could be brought in coronavirus case in the u. K. Have risen sharply in the past few weeks on saturday the Government House fines of up to 13000. 00 for people in england breaking self isolation rules. Or now to developments in thailand tens of thousands of 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 with a new constitution and elections. Criticism of law nikki is illegal in thailand demonstrators placed a plaque 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 hay is in bangkok and says the location of the protests is symbolic. Well 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 placed just across the road from the grand palace its a Historic Site thats 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. One hour to a centuries old conflict over land and discrimination that is escalating in southern chill a the struggle pits the indigenous might push a people against the government and private landowners well now younger man approaches are organizing and some are taking up arms to expel the people they view as foreign as latin america is to be seen human was given exclusive access to the map which a communities in southern chile and filed the 1st of 2 special reports.

Now many communities are trying to take back what they lost like this property owned by chiles largest forestry company. But they say its also about countering 140 years of humiliation.

I feel nostalgic anger knowing they burned down something that belong to us nearly 100 years we can through build our memories but im going to rebuild the house right here because no one can throw us off our land. Those resorting to violence are a minority. But miguel until melech jail says theyre part of a larger and conflict that the chilean state is refusing to address except with force. Thats a military plane with state of the Art Technology to intercept telephone and radio signals over flies day and night when you see things like verse who can deny that this tear a tree is being militarized possible. Which also become obvious is that there is no easy solution to a complex dispute to which most chileans were oblivious until now that its become impossible to ignore lucy in human aljazeera chile without conflict escalates in the summer hoping that there could be a new constitution and it could lay the groundwork for peace and reconciliation so do tune in on monday tomorrow for the 2nd part of a report from southern chile.
