Starting in the u. S. With a political battle continues over who will replace the Late Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg she died on friday president now wants to rush through the process of appointing a new judge as soon as possible but as democratic president ial rival joe biden says its an exercise in raw political power and with the election coming up timing is everything alan fischer with this report 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 early voting already under way that simply wrong the people of this nation are choosing their future right now as the vote to jam this nomination through the senate is just an exercise in the wrong 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 joes in yet but we have numerous women on the list that are thought to be 2 leading candidates amy corny but it is an Appeals Court judge a favorite of conservatives and has been considered for earlier vacancies and theres barbara lee grew up a letter moving 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 and 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 aljazeera washington. Well in addition to joe barton weve heard from one of the rising stars of the Democratic Party who had this message for the Republican Party leader in the senate to Mitch Mcconnell we need to tell him that he is playing with fire we need to make sure that this vacancy is protected that our election continues and that the American People have their say there are antigovernment protests taking place across cities in egypt police fired tear gas in giza just south of the capital cairo demonstrators there are among those calling for president of the federal sisi to step down this is cairo itself where protests continued into the night pictures from a march through one neighborhood demonstrators were chanting slogans against the military and then egypts 2nd largest city alexandria a heavy Police Presence there security had been heightened across the country after calls for mass scatterings by the exiled opposition figure. Former contractor for the Egyptian Military is calling on protesters to stay out until their demands are met to how most egyptians unite out of love for the egyptian people take back your country again dont leave it in the ccs hands down with the sisi regime down with the sisi regime dont go home do not go if you go home they will detain us dont go home were in the streets and now we need to stay there. We spoke to William Laurance former u. S. Diplomat and a professor of Political Science and International Affairs at the American University who explained why most egyptians are reluctant to take part in the demonstrations. Well theyre not that large not that widespread yet but thats largely because of the actions of the. It were over a 1000 preemptive detentions at metro stations bus stations in areas like this and theres been a crackdown arrests of intellectuals University Students so common citizens all to preempt larger protests i think whats important here is not. Their size and the focus that theyre happening at all in such a tightly controlled situation and really provoked by nothing as this is just the anniversary of the protests last year now we do have an egyptian citizen die from torture maybe 2 weeks ago we have a large lawsuit where us against the former Prime Ministers and i think that should be torture and so all of this is really about shining spotlight on the widespread Human Rights Violations egypt and i expect larger future. Where theres a continuing humiliation of egyptians by regime officials and of course the Living Conditions getting steadily worse so i hope that comes together to create a certain how who will all of anger and then each potential protester has a choice do i go out and was being arrested or if i were arrested to have my family cracked down upon or am i gonna sort of play it cool and wait for a larger protest irans president says the u.

On iran there are various ideas in iran in among lawmakers from abandoning to a 2 even withdrawing from the nonproliferation treaty or severing ties with. Iran you lawmakers have discussed all these ideas it rains already finding it tough living under sanctions. Were working hard from morning to night but we get nothing because these sanctions have disrupted life economy everything its very tough and that was ok to us just as well sanctions have had many impacts for example on patients the price of medicine has gone up to the increasing Exchange Rate with the dollar but even if medicine is available if we face more sanctions the lives of many patients might be at risk irans leaders are treating the u. S. Isolation at the u. N. As a victory while many earing in.

Michael moores from the London School of economics Political Science and tells us as long as what our runs for office the outcome of the vote will be highly contested when i did merriment he has the most supports i mean by Biggest Party has the most support the last man who is currently. Disqualified it looks like big he really is the next person with the most votes so its quite significant he used a significant candidate in this particular election and one of the reasons why what our us kind of the city so contentious is actually that he originally didnt really tend to leave the sea he deliberately in trickiest even the Vice President sees into this new questions he shouldnt just see a lot of these he can plan and read different meds video if putin sleeps at the very least he couldnt be there right president ial candidate if youre a regional kind of he did not die and so now hes had to put themselves out as a president ial candidate because they have a kind of the docks where taric doesnt have enough votes to get my gerrity either in a fresh round or in the 2nd round so were looking for a very precarious situation. Where the only way what our country is actually too rigid a election and already we are hearing reports that you know weve got great transcripts in the bottle youngs in downlow out in the west who are going to north block in the center and john in the south to try and intimidate the out tanks to protest us out rigging our tents. Now a sudanese delegation is visiting the United Arab Emirates to discuss taking the country off a u. S. List of state sponsors of terror but we meeting with u. S. Officials in abu dhabi sudan says inclusion on the list is hindered its ability to rebuild its economy though sudan urged the u. S. Not to link its removal from that list to the normalizing of relations with israel meanwhile saddams government aid agencies and volunteers are in a race against time to stop outbreaks of disease after record breaking floods they fear the spread of water borne illnesses more than 120 people have died in 100000 homes have been damaged or destroyed the government says more than 700000 people have been affected by the rising waters mohamed ajo reports now from culture. The 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 and people put in many parts of the country. With how slow the recession of the flood waters have been mainly due to heavy rains pounding not only sudan but also the highlands of ethiopia where lect the source of the blue nile is for the pushing more water into these should be of the nile which has been mainly disposable for the flooding weve seen in the past weeks and months so what were seeing us to action where they also stagnant water sliding around almost everywhere in those 17 states and their sons that there could be outbreaks of diseases like malaria chicken fever all of them caused by the mosquito as well as this is like call it isnt tree 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 thousands of people arriving in a new refugee camp on the greek island of lesbos describe the conditions there was awful they were displaced almost 2 weeks ago after the maria cam burned down many refugees didnt want to be relocated and to moderate theyll be taken to the mainland instead his stephanie taken out with more from the new camp. Weve been watching some of the people being able to happen even able to leave the camp today in the morning they were allowed to leave then were being told that at some point there was an order to close the gates are now being allowed to leave again so its very much a fluid situation but weve seen some of the managed to get mattresses and wheeling them back in you know the garbage cans and apple wheels and wheeling them back into the tent because the tents at the moment are just basically a sand bottom yes theyre being handed those thin blankets so its a very basic infrastructure when it comes to discount and of course there was a lot of pressure to get people off the streets and been sleeping on the streets for 10 days off to the firebird more account so i think its a work in progress certainly the refugees and migrants weve been speaking to saying the conditions are terrible particularly lack of Running Water showers sanitation you know the toilets are terrible weve seen videos of that so i think its taking some time to get on its feet as various n. G. O. S in there are helping the greek government the army that is running this camp of course youre talking a 1000 thousands of people my 1000 people that came into this capital very short period of time so that is the situation at the moment i think interesting me tomorrow the asylum process is going to restart the paperwork processing that had been put on hold since that fire thats been a very lengthy process this is why a lot of these people have been here for over a year and i think interesting the serving it forward europe is going to be debating their my good policies many people will tell you that moria and this now is a symbol of the failure of europes migration policies of allowing these people to fester so long and these kinds of terrible conditions.

Well the thing about this weekends protests is that this is the 1st weekend since the imposition on friday afternoon of the 2nd coronavirus lockdown nationwide and so political protest is exempted from those restrictions but nonetheless there was some questioning and some concern among some quarters within the protest movement as to whether to continue or not usually these protests are on a saturday night this time theyre happening on sunday because this is now the end of the 2 day jewish new year holiday and so theyve come out the police had tried to caps you lot areas within the protest site people are supposed to gather in capsules of 20 or fewer outdoors the numbers certainly arent as big as what weve seen in recent weeks or a few 1000 bit more spread out than usual but certainly they dont seem to be observing those capsules off areas and there was one unexpected incident with a car speeding towards that group of protesters and slammed on the brakes at the last minute the driver of that car was dragged up by police and arrested not clear if that was a deliberate act or not but there has been that arrest or hundreds of people rallied in the german city of dusseldorf against coronavirus restrictions organizers felt similar rallies across the country.
