To affect over 800000 people. And told me all laddie welcome to the program the u. S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died a Statement Released by the court said the 87 year old died of pancreatic cancer at home in washington d. C. Ginsburg was seen as a champion of womens rights and a cultural icon and also the leader of the courts liberal wing of passing now gives President Donald Trump a chance to shore up the conservative majority when choosing a replacement. Ruth Bader Ginsberg was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1993 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 courts liberal wing. That it was women in this. Almost explicit. What remains is often been called unconscious by. The Supreme Court announced 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 those to consider. But its a senate fight to fill ginsburgs place on the Supreme Court seem sure Majority 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. But we really should get back to the way it was when people were examining the qualifications of someone to be. Rather than trying to guess how they would vote. Mourners lit candles 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. Talk more about this we have to stay stephens here in studio stacy keach tell us more about Justice Ruth Bader ginsburgs korea you know well Justice Ginsburg was a tough tiny firebrand and she was the liberal conscience of the court who became a feminist icon known as notorious r b g in her eightys because she was so tough and she said what she felt and her dissensions on the court were very clear and even before she made it to the bench she argued 5 landmark case as and front of the court all male at the time of course because she was only the 2nd woman to be on the court. These landmark cases had to do with equality the way the right for women to have onus of their own bodies to be able to have equal pay to be able to housing and to get rid of laws then made it legal for women to be treated like 2nd class citizens so this was the body of her work and on the bench you saw this when she voted for you know prochoice and for gender equality and for Marriage Equality these were the things that she felt were one of the bedrock of to democracy and she fought for. You know over those many years decades of and what would her legacy be how will she be remembered i think shell be remembered as a fighter you know and her personal life because she had so many Health Issues and different forms of cancer that she fought because she believed that the democracy of the United States was at stake and whoever was appointed in her seat would would control the way that the country would go for years when she was on the court for 27 years herself so she she. To poor a president she thought would would appoint another liberal and also just her vehement support like i said equal rights whether its for gay rights or civil rights or womens rights this is her legacy and we saw that with people who came out in support of her today and youve talked about her replacement Going Forward how will this shape or could it shape the upcoming president ial election i mean its already having an impact right for the longest time now trump has been defined by the coronavirus and the fall out of that with the economy and now were not really talking about that were talking about whos going to be on the Supreme Court and he was starting to lose some support among evangelicals but now knowing that he has this opportunity to nominate somebody else this might get more people to come out and vote for him this is what hes hoping but the liberals the democrats feel the same way theyre hoping that people will be scared enough even if they dont love joe biden to come out and vote for him ok stacy villains thank you very much. Lets take a look at some other stories making news around the world russian Opposition Leader alexina vonnie has posted another picture of himself with covering in hospital the caption of the photo he shared on instagram said his path to recovery was clear although long avali is being treated in a berlin hospital after being poisoned with a nerve agent thats been used before against kremlin critics.

And you know not only have you know i understand that we need to save the economy in the forward but health is more important without health theres no money. Around its a b. 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. See mrs let those who really need to go do so so they dont lose their jobs. So they dont lose what little they have. We hope you dont get lucky and. 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 look done we need to avoid Economic Disaster hard look down 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. Joining me from madrid. I mean why are some areas worst affected. Well basically as we saw in the reporting has a lot to do with inequalities we found out that probably there was a call made for there were each and covered for the poor in those districts for example in the city of madrid we found we find most of the people have a very limited access to. It or a decent housing some of the people are sharing a flat for example with different family they cannot properly isolated in the homes when once they are tested positive and thats through oscillates for 14 days and some of them as well are working in the Informal Sector some of them are unemployed and they cannot afford to stay at home even if they have tested positive they need to go out and make a living in these Informal Sector or maybe they have to go out to all the places in the city in order to find it to find a job so one of the measures that has been have been put in place is actually tracking all those people out of the positive so they can or they are forced in forced to keep the quarantined home in those areas but spain had one of europes strictest lock downs at the beginning of the pandemic so what is going wrong. Well probably all these measures for example that wear announced yesterday they should have been put in place. Or even july i think said here in spain we had a problem with timing probably. Were not expecting a 2nd wave to start early and they were looking at all over. You know that they will see does it spike on the case and so a lot of the measures literally are right very very very late we rushed probably too soon to open our borders to open bars and restaurants and night life for example because after 3 months of. This punch economy was really struggling and we need to get this go in broadly we didnt ask the situation. Properly and we found out virus came and started spreading very very early earlier than we thought ok if alaska is in madrid squids have you on the program and thanks for that update. Thank.

Heres the handle ive told me of a lot of will and for me on the team thanks for watching. The a. List of muslim women should be trying their safe and selfdetermination. I dont want anyone to tell me what the right way to headstock a notion how women are striving to reform various law the latest from traditional prejudices. Women in islam start september 24th on t w. Its hard to find an opening to my story. The tale of a small footnote in the history of our region. I can only write my own private memories of these 3 years of hope and anguish. Is this a tale of triumph. Or defeat. Or rule the ending to our story has not yet been written. As this is. They werent believe im not stupid. Perhaps i should start with one decisive wednesday in july of 1902 professor he has failed call me up with a dangerous proposition to join him for a secret meeting with our sworn enemies the Palestinian Liberation Organization known to all as the p. L. O. Joined us fighting shoulder to shoulder with the palestinian revolution against the zionist enemy palestine all of palestine is there an arab arab arab. The p. L. O. Was a terrorist Organization Led by Yasser Arafat a man many israelis considered hitler successor. Power thought believed in an Armed Struggle fighting for palestinian freedom he took pride in the slaughter of the athletes at the munich olympics opening fire on School Children in my book and planting deadly bombs all over israel. The problem was arafats was the only one palestinians looked up to the had the final say in all negotiations but israel refused to talk to him. On the america im against a palestinian state run by the p. L. O. Shelbys out of the question and no negotiation with the p. L. O. Not sure but the goal was well look i mean most. 9 months before rabin had been elected to lead israel on a platform of peace and security. But as the months went by he delivered neither. With terror attacks on the rise and the Peace Process deadlocked the right wing opposition threatened to overrun him before he even completed his 1st year. In a desperate attempt to renew the peace talks deputy minister yossi beilin decided to act outside the law and set up a secret back channel to negotiate with the p. L. O. He approached his felt in me because we were the perfect fall guys 2 professors who had dedicated their careers to the israeli arab conflict but had no ties to the israeli government. We were in a verse strange situation legally the law for beats us to come into contact with the palestinians i thought rispoli. If you dont go accountable as dinners what are you going for them and tell was very painful i mean moms. Busses all over the world there were barracks there that quite an organization of general. The oslo process which i like to call the accidental channel was neither preplanned nor preprogrammed my own partial involvement began in december 92 when i was sent by the p. L. O. To norway to meet secretly with 2 israeli professors. A mile long flight from tunisia to oslo i thought back on the day i was forced to flee my home and of the days when the p. L. O. Was declared illegal. I left my family and home behind under the oppressive occupation of the israeli army and swore id return the day we were liberated. And the past 25 years of being had been known to us as the bonebreaker the architect of the iron fist policy of repression. The idea of meeting our occupiers face to face did not appeal to me at all but the freedom of palestine demanded all of us take high risks. The 3 soldiers killed yesterday in gaza have been laid to rest an explosive device was found in a plastic bag under a bench in ramallah the border to gaza was closed and will remain so for a few more days. As we approach the secluded villa hidden deep within a norwegian forest a chill ran through my spine negotiating with terrorists was one thing in theory but now i was just hoping that we had made a terrible mistake. Our 1st handshake was rather tense i scanned the people in front of me and matched their faces to the memos we had prepared back home. Up to our last served as the palestinian minister of finance. Beside him said court our thoughts confidant. The youngest of the group was asked for a military communist who was the most aggressive of the 3 the palestinians wanted to know who we work and who we represented but all we could say was that we were 2 professors who were here in defiance of the law. The morning started a good morning started. Said only police didnt understand how difficult it was to live under not superficially in no way usually understand a difficult words to live for them for us truly when these are your capricious. And it would have wanted to Say Something more irritating me him ok to me up like this is good sentencings youre not allowed to do if you literally think that theres any comparison between israelis and palestinians and the nazis if you ever say this again im going to stand up and move out it never came back it never came back again and i think it was a very it was it was a very unpleasant stop but it was an important stuff. We knew that all past negotiations had been fruitless and in order to temper a being wed have to come up with a completely new offer to be perfectly honest i said were standing on the verge of a new war which will harm both sides. We are serious in reaching an understanding with you and are open for a historic compromise. Until now we have demanded your immediate withdrawal from the occupied territories but we realize it wont happen overnight. Arafat wants to bring up the possibility of withdrawal from the gaza strip as a 1st step towards peace. Has failed and i exchanged glances although we were trying to conceal them. We were stunned. The p. L. O. Was considered an Extremist Group and here was arafats messenger with a Game Changing solution. Now we were left with the most difficult task of all presenting the draft to the decision makers. So i dont paris i sent you know his garden on pond tours not to meet some p. L. O. People and after some meetings they have this paper and i really want you to look at it and decide what we are going its ok. Then next day im asking him if shimon did you read the papers and know. You know they did you read the paper. And then you read it and then he understood that he had something that explosive in his head. Didnt think its been so good serves the god ive was 12 and my i said think about it go there fred the important fact was they discover their father. It planned it all got about you had many plans like which im all for i take the bait of stuff full of friends i dont think that there are any region in the world of has so many plans its already too late as in the middle ages. As the wave of terror engulfed the streets the protests outside the homes of rabin it had as have become routine the 2 leaders were stuck between a rock and a hard place they were losing their war against terror and the Peace Process showed no sign of revival. Perhaps the oslo channel was their only way out. With a heavy heart they authorized us to continue the talks as long as we exercised every precaution to keep the news from leaking if it became known we were deliberating with the p. L. O. It would be their last day in office. Now that the leaders were involved we were no longer in the drivers seat has announced that they also channel would now be led by yourself here the director general of the Foreign Ministry and joel singer our rigid military lawyer. Now we are bringing a military lawyer. Former closer to go it was feeling it was the law in the west bank in gaza and i come there to meet was the p. L. O. Terror always there or so from my perspective for you it was like a feel for. As i go into the room and see a war love the 1st time he comes to me and kisses me on both cheeks. To waste is kissing me. On my caught ive been kissed by a tourist and probably thought i just kissed a military former military i mean man dog key is one another in the United States or in israel. That was the 1st time a man kissed me. Before the 1st round of talks i decided to get acquainted with my counterpart. Where are you from here to jerusalem i replied. Im also from jerusalem he said where is your father from he was born in germany my father is from jerusalem and still lives there he said. We could go all the way back to king david i replied and didnt try to conceal my anger im sure we could argue about the past for years and never reach an agreement lets try and see if we could agree on the future. All right he said and we reached our 1st Mutual Understanding we wouldnt argue about the past ever again. Singer started the meeting by announcing that we had a real concrete proposal for the signed agreement. All traces of our optimistic document were racist and replaced by rabins agenda that would security and defense before cooperation and coexistence rabin had refused to deliberate on the core issues of the conflict demanding to discuss them at a later stage his offer did not include any mention of up rooting settlements dividing jerusalem the return of the Palestinian Refugees or definitive borders. As the reading commenced the palestinians astonishment grew. After a few minutes of who a lot turned to us for another quietly in arabic its a massacre. The last round of talks left me more confused than ever despite sinkers humiliating offer it was clear we were not when the big leagues it was no longer an initiative of 2 peace loving professors but rather of her being and parents themselves. All the while the news painted an entirely different picture. Being tightened his fist every day demonstrators were being killed throughout palestine some of them innocent kids who should we believe the reality on t. V. Or yuris promises. The whole the show host 1000 israelis was not in the past. We made the following decision 1st to impose a closure on the west bank and additional disclosure on gaza also starting tomorrow there will be no palestinian. Territories on israeli lap close until 5 and i was just out load of the shot. For the 11th round in oslo we arrived with the proposition of our own perhaps singur and the israeli delegation thought we would surrender to their terms but that would not be the case our revised proposition stated the end goal would be Un Resolution 242. 00 demanding israels withdrawal from the occupied territories. The palestinian proposition enraged me and i responded with hard right opposition we would not acknowledge resolution 242 because it meant retreating to the 1967 borders and we refused to discuss borders at that stage we started believing the p. L. O. Were our partners in this but when we put our cards down the p. L. O. Always backed away from any clear decision maybe people are right to say the palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. There was a lot of tension people were walking out of the room slamming the doors but it was all of. You know we know that. They have a desperate to reach an agreement. I just said let them. Let kids we need to let all play out and then well just say mo. The israelis dismissed our proposition refusing to discuss the definitive borders at this stage i said to yuri you refuse to recognize our national right and insist on retaining all the settlements we prefer to wait another 10 years for a reasonable offer yuri fired back in that case you can keep waiting until the messiah comes. I said during weve made every possible effort to reach a Peace Agreement with you but unfortunately i now find myself unable to go on i have decided to resign from the talks. The room fell silent a dark expression spread across abu alaa face and he seemed powerless as he rose to his feet and left the room this time it was really over. Yuri asked me how i was feeling i didnt hide my emotions. Both sides were stubborn and did not grasp the importance of the moment. I just could not continue this negotiation i told him if you cant cure the onus we must find its cause lets put aside the maps and the agreements and begin by recognizing each other as partners the p. L. O. Will denounce all terror attacks against israel and we will stop viewing them as terrorists and allow our a fight to return to his homeland. I promised during i would present his mutual recognition proposal to arafat in tunis perhaps this round of talks wasnt a complete failure after all i understand that you were blowing up with this and you left this area many years ago do you think the your dream about your coming back to your home thats my dream all the period so far. To go yet and whats to come if that as a citizen and its too much for me. We were negotiating in all slow in complete secrecy no one knew about working outside of this really small coop and then when we were in. Suddenly it leaked the story leaked oh. I see hundreds of the may not have a secret talks between the p. L. O. And israel awoke snowbound also from its sunday now they grabbed a lot of headlines with little actual information about the press that lying about their location and content were no these letters from the Israeli Embassy is absolutely desolate the security guards floor that they knew nothing of the talks not to mention where they were held but it was our last stop in our search for the secret talks here at the kings palace as we can tell they are here either. Here with me in tel aviv is Deputy Foreign minister yossi beilin is the recognition of the p. L. O. By israel official. I know nothing of any such recognition there is no such recognition. The worst thing that could happen was the premature exposure of the channel reporters kept calling me and i consistently denied everything without giving any unnecessary explanations but i knew we couldnt keep up the charade much longer it was only a matter of time until the who hardly used the talks to make red beans and paris to my traitors who were conspiring with the murderous arafat. To go to the people tell the truth tell them this is our intention to hand the heart of israel over to our fast and establish a palestinian state go to the people before you implement your plan we are trying to beat the clock by reaching an agreement before a prematurely could would stop the oil slick agreement. The mutual recognition option excited the leadership in tunis and i was sent back to oslo with arafats support. It seemed as if the israelis returned with a deep desire to move forward as well. Then. Youre sitting there in that guesthouse which the press made out to be a sort of dream cast but thats how the press is simple to shift a very difficult month several terrorist attacks and youre sitting there talking in a businesslike manner gentlemanly making jokes if youre out of touch so if someone. Theres you know new talk and i hope we arent out of touch we dont want to ignore the present or forget the past were trying to set them aside for the moment and figure out together not how to make the past better but how to make the future better that could put it over as if so we created a bubble we arent out of touch not from what happened to the jews or the arabs not from whats happening now but what were applying maximum force to try to get this process moving because. We managed to go clear simply made a. Difference to 5 open issues. And we went back and force can force and early in the morning for always good morning we reached for agreement on those 5 issues. At 5 am the norwegians printer delivered the final draft of the declaration of principles for peace between israel and the p. L. O. It stated that as a 1st step israel would withdraw from gaza in jericho and grant the Palestinians Authority for self governance. In the 2nd stage which would take place within a year the Palestinian Authority would expand to most of the west bank. And within 5 years a Permanent Peace treaty would be signed addressing the core issues of settlements Palestinian Refugees definitive borders and jerusalem. Union. And the law it was strange there were 15 of us. After hundreds of hours of negotiation crammed inside a small room signing our initials and the world knew nothing about the disconnect between the intimacy of a handful of people in that small rooms and agreement which is such a breakthrough made in such secrecy so do because there wasnt a sense of euphoria or joyful emotions in high but a sort of heaviness the strangeness was a little. I feel like this week. The 1st time 5 oclock after we finished. It could jaded each other. That current we said now we have to stop that he didnt just say but for development for construction for a vacation that. He says started the day we started and it must be one bible of the last thank you very much. And that is. We came in with a will yes we know you and we follow through those of cause and know that you are the neighborhoods we still live. But as many friends but they make the end of our part. In the long they denied we also or with great love about insulin that we get a lift up of them. Yeah. Good evening israel and the p. L. O. Are not far from a historic embrace tonight a member there was a. People who stay shims norwegian swede feed me and everyone was talking in. Words you know Foreign Languages all slow going to you know. Know enough. To know what i want to. Know i mean it was all over who was i mean who suddenly realized that wow. You know its us that were talking about. 29 years after declaring israel any illegal state the palestine Liberation Organization has decided to recognize israels right to exist peacefully after decades of calling the p. L. O. A terrorist organization israel finally recognizes the p. L. O. As the legitimate representative of the Palestinian People given the history of the palestinians and the israelis which is and also much of the rest of the world. You know were staggering. The last minute negotiations went on for a day and. When the hikers norwegian mediator arrived in tunis he said he had the historic documents of recognition in his back sassed wasnt his doing he said modest labor belonged to israeli Prime Minister rabin and p. L. O. Chairman arafat in the one page letter from arafat to rabin the p. L. O. Recognize the right of the state of israel to exist in peace and security in his return letter to arafat rabin says that in view of those commitments the government of israel has decided to recognize the p. L. O. As the representative of the Palestinian People. I want. I never. See the government. For hard. In the middle east today israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin will fly to washington for the signing ceremony of the also the agreement between israel and the palestinians Yasser Arafat will arrive from tunis for the signing which will be his 1st visit to america since the p. L. O. Were denied entrance to the u. S. Right wing opponents are calling the signing of the treaty treason while arab opposition is calling it a traitor to the palestinian cause and threats of being made on his life. While in my last meeting with clinton just before the celebrations started he took me aside and said he wanted to concessions i said mr clinton we gave enough concessions and then this outburst said concession one could you prevail on mr arafat to come dressed in a french suit and abandon its military garb i said this was part of the way his people view him so i said im sorry i cant give you that concession was the 2nd one so he said no hugging no kissing. And i said this is a very tough concession but for peace i do it. They brought the morning shows to the white house to talk their way of the bottom of the south lawn work charlie and paula and bryant and katie sure signs that history was about to be made the people. That. No way think that says that they have to sing it. This and this it was it just so that if they were like whats going on today here. What is going to understand the situation that history is stage is emerging. Ladies and gentlemen mr arafat chairman of the executive council of the palestine Liberation Organization is excellent see inside the game Prime Minister of israel the president of the United States i think its hard to come to washington to say. I dont want to say off but im going to convince him to stand up with of out was claimed and as you saw the trip to the top of the well was by force. Finally starts shook the hands of far far it down to me interception now i see you you. Could say you went through the hell no i have to go through those really do for a why do you think. Because there was against the peer law because it is how it was and there are because you saw him out of it a terrorist but you know i cannot change the past or family about it find it its hard said it your mate is with your enemies not with their friends. To everybody there is a season and a dime. Is and have been dying to be bold and had time to die and die in and dying to gain it dying away and dying to laugh it dying to love and it dying to hate. It die and fall of fall and dying of east ladies and gentleman the dying for peace is come. We thank you. Thank. You mayor. Brown from i feel proud but then our faith work off the failure. Therefore. Because we are still in the beginning the stuff sold to mr i should be i should be at the same time also on my side. He left me because both of us should work very very very. And we should trust each other. Without trust you cannot. When you shook hands with mr abbey it looks like it was your idea not his he he he said it if its my but i insisted and i can think its in my hands. Now looking at the longer term do you recognise that mr reddy has his way jerusalem as he puts it will never be the capital of a palestinian state do you recognize that you accept that he said sure is it not unified youre saying yes its a jerusalem it isnt for that you know he knows exactly what hes saying the israelis will never pull back from jerusalem they never will they do believe they ever will i think if there is a will there is always. The reason you will on the. One whos going to. Some weeks ago nobody was imagining that would find the solution and this agreement not to forget that the Early Morning tony. This is ill be a radio from jerusalem and hear the news one month after the historic signing in washington israel and the palestinians gather once again for a round of negotiations this time to implement the 1st stage of the oslo accord israels withdrawal from gaza or jericho. The negotiations will be led by Israeli Deputy chief of staff. And on the palestinian side the bill shut our offense chief advisor. My 1st meeting with general im not shocked and was quite pleasant for the man betty modestly came to me and said of the shots here is my speech and you know i have never given speeches before a mystery military man so why dont you look at that speech i felt that this was leading very modest and very positive starting point but between that 1st meeting and the 2nd meeting which came out after the weekend and so on for 5 days later i went through google and other sources to find out about general contract. I found he was part of the Raiding Party that killed 3 of my dearest friends in beirut. And i thought about that and i said im sorry i cannot get myself to negotiate with you i mean. Its very difficult these were very Close Friends of mine their brothers there i dont know i dont feel like its fair to negotiate with you so im unsure i said but maybe hell. We are here so that we would never repeat that. On february 19th not because shot in general shock presented us with the 1st draft of the gaza jericho agreement the draft was clearly pro israeli but promised us rewards we hadnt dreamed of just a year before such as passports and International Airport in jericho and for the 1st time in history democratic Palestinian Elections we were on the right path but are your topi in bubble was destined to shatter violent. Slowmo behind a massacre and have brought dozens of palestinians were shot and killed by a settler during morning prayers in the cave of the patriarchs. At 5 am on friday february 25th dr bao rufe goldstein a religious settler dressed in his army uniform grabbed the newsies submachine gun and opened fire on the people praying at the cave of the patriarchs. My. 31 people were murdered during the massacre which ended only when goldstein himself was killed. Along with. The news spread quickly and the violent riots broke out across the entire occupied territories. Israeli soldiers opened fire on the protesters killing 9 palestinians and injuring hundreds more. So when will the holy move goldstein quickly established a fan base among the settlers hundreds attended his funeral home and many of them praised him as a hero and a saint to swallow when it was not called obviously see show he urged rabin to clear hebrew and settlers it would be a brave move that could restore the palestinians trust in the Peace Process. But the Army Generals claim that vacating the settlers from hebrew on could cause a civil war rarely i have seen parents so determined to reach a decision that opposes the military. You know when the shorts say off or say a jew who is a murderer is a murderer you is not what your example nazi in june who is a nazi is a nazi.
