An 8 new wrapped. Up next peiser welcome to the program the Us Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg has died a Statement Released by the court said the 87 year old died of pancreatic cancer at her home in washington ginsburg was seen as the leader of the liberal wing of the u. S. Supreme court her passing now gives President Donald Trump the chance to shore up the conservative majority when choosing a replacement. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed to the supreme call to 993 the champion of womens rights became only the 2nd female Supreme Court justice a new 27 years of service she became seen asean question leader of the cults liberal wing. There was nothing subtle about it was women in this. Almost all of this explicit barrier is. What remains is often called unconscious by the Supreme Court announced in spokes death in a statement saying she died with her family at her side President Trump was given the news after addressing a Campaign Rally in minnesota. Basically. What else can you say she was an amazing woman. She was an amazing woman. Thank you very much. Trumps democratic president ial challenger joe biden also paid tribute to ginsburg but said her successor should not be chosen until after the upcoming election but there is no doubt let me be clear that the voters should pick the president and the president should pick justice for to consider. But its a senate fight to filkins vice place on the Supreme Court seem sure but georgie leader Mitch Mcconnell said a vote on the top nominee would take place with much of u. S. Politics hamstrung by the polarization the makeup of the Supreme Court is crucial in shaping law on fundamental issues such as abortion but Justice Ginsburg had a critical view of the politicize ation of the nomination process. I dont know what it will take. That we really should get back to the way it was when people were examining the qualifications of someone to be. Rather than trying to get this have. Monas that congress for ginsberg on the steps of the Supreme Court while there was praise for her legacy from across the political divide the search for her successor threatens to be less dignified. And lets cross over now to Taylor Millard a correspondent for n. B. C. News radio in dallas texas tell us what is the legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg so Ruth Bader Ginsburgs legacy is going to be one where actually she was respected by everyone regardless of whether they agreed with her or not if you look at the way people have responded to this whether they are republican democrat with tarion green party they all have respect for her and shes a she was a pop culture phenomenon the notorious r b g as she was remember shes going to have a really good legacy even if not everybody agrees with her opinion step she doled out when she was on the court and were in an election now just over 6 weeks away until a new president is chosen by the American People who does her death benefit. That is a really interesting question because there are multiple ways you could look at it from 5 a republican standpoint it could be galvanizing because obviously she was the head of the liberal wing so you could look at it as evangelical christians are going to come out and vote on in mass for President Donald Trump because they hope to get the roe versus wade bill got your bill decision gotten rid of a you could look at it as galvanizing for the left because say joe biden picks somebody who is or says hes going to nominate somebody who is well respected who is well seen it could end up being a flash point there with more liberals and more democratic socialists deciding they will go and vote for joe biden so it really remains to be seen it could benefit both but it really depends on how the political candidates. Go for it. Was of course the decision that enshrined the womans right to have an abortion as this get to whats going to happen next is it possible to have a new judge before a new president is sworn in its possible however the president was set in 2016 when Mitch Mcconnell said that he would not hold hearings or vote on president former president obamas choice in america garland to be on the Supreme Court mcconnell said he wasnt going to hold hearings on it he was going to wait until the next election show he would be basically going against his own words if he decided to go ahead and slam through a vote over confirmation hearings even this close it would be really hard to get a nominee through but still possible ok Taylor Millard thanks so much for that thank you. Many countries in europe are facing a surge in corona virus infections leading to new restrictions across the continent spain was one of the hardest hit countries during the 1st wave of the 10 demick and the situation has been deteriorating again in recent weeks but want to avoid a repeat of the harsh nationwide lockdown ordered march and are opting for more localized measures instead. Rapidly rising infections in madrid have sent the spanish capital into a partial 2nd looked at the areas most affected by the new restrictions of the densely populated low income neighborhoods in the sight of the City Movement will be restricted and all bars and restaurants will be limited to 50 percent capacity. And you know not only are going to i understand that we need to save the economy in the forward but health is more important without health theres no money. To save you and i dont know and i think its good to avoid making the situation worse because there are people who go when they dont have to go. To mrs let those who really need to go do so so they dont lose their jobs. So they dont lose what little they have. Hope ok we will keep talking about the end. Even those in the hardest hit regions will not be stopped from going to work as happened to non essential workers during the initial wave of the pandemic i give you that we need to avoid a state of emergency and a hard lockdown and we need to avoid Economic Disasters hard looked on and state of emergency are an Economic Disaster and we need to avoid that by all means. Regional Health Officials say madrids Health Care System is under growing pressure as hospitals struggle to operate with limited Health Workers and resources. And joining me now for more insight on this is correspondent Philip Schultz in seville can you tell us we just saw infections are rising in madrid whats the situation where you are out and in the rest of the country. Here in the south of the country the situation is also getting worse its a little bit tougher days grew to the situation in the spring when the virus those start to spread from that eats to other parts of the country but you cant really compare the situation to the situation in niger there some areas we have infection rates of more than 1000 people or 100 probably. The highest number ever recorded and the problem is that its in poor neighborhoods. Are the ones partially luck so its also becoming more and more of a political upper social questions because the people in those neighborhoods that you neglected so they feel locked away theyre almost feel 65 and they have also seen some from protests or erupting already last night and is there any thinking or indication as to why were having what looks like a 2nd wave when spain had such a Strict Lockdown early on. I think its because politicians simply havent done their homework in the case of the government from earth that they would try out for and stoke roads context. Tracing contacts up infected people and avoiding community spreading. So probably have only hired a few dozen. Or 2 dozen of contract trades throw the problem there is that the Regional Government of snow trying to put the blame on the National Level and vice versa instead of finding solutions. And could this mean do you think another nation wide lockdown is in the offing. This is going to everybody is trying to avoid at all costs but i wouldnt rule it out completely because a few weeks ago it just said that there wouldnt be another lockdown. So i think theres a possibility that there could be a 2nd lockdown but it would be very very difficult situation for the vendors economy as they are already one of the worst affected economies in europe turns up for work i expect to be laid off it will be a very difficult Economic Times all right did you correspondent young Philip Schultz reporting from seville thanks for that.
