In state in the u. S. Capitol donald trump looks set to nominate a female conservative to fill the Supreme Court vacancy and indias Prime MinisterNarendra Modi faces iraq backlash as tens of thousands of thomas take to the streets over new agriculture recourse. Thank you for joining us we begin with egypt where they are reports that at least 3 protesters have been killed after thousands of people defied a Police Crackdown to demonstrate against the government for a 6 straight day dozens were arrested in braids ahead of the protests but that didnt stop people expressing their anger over corruption and deteriorating economy as well as for Living Conditions and also demanding the resignation of president. Jamal and child. Discouraged with threats of arrest or even death egyptians took to the streets in several areas across the country on friday. They dubbed it the friday of rage to demonstrate their opposition to the rule of opting for tough a c c and among the tea resigns. Slogans like this say its outloud dont be scared of c. C. Has to go were heard in cairos one neighborhood. In the giza governorates which has been the epicenter since protests began last sunday police and other security personnel were deployed in force thanks. This latest wave of antigovernment an anti military rule protests were triggered by ccs decision to demolish entire neighborhoods across egypt under the pretext that the homes were built illegally. These neighborhoods how some of the countrys poorest communities who have already been suffering the brunt of a faltering economy unable to cope with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic according to the world bank 70 percent of all egyptians 70 percent live under either under poverty or on the brink of poverty thats a situation thats understandable that the social and political constraints just yesterday 150. 00 appeared for the state Security Court im charges of terrorism because they were protesting in the street we know that terrorism charges in egypt are the ways in which the state clamps down on any bourses of dissent. There were calls to by former Army Contractor turned opposition figure mohamed ali now an exile for people to demonstrate with september 20th marking one year since similar demonstrations took place against c. C. S. Rule that. Sisi supporters particularly those who control egypts media will claim that these protests are marginal and largely in significance but the way in which the states is dealing with the protesters would suggest otherwise. Human Rights GroupsLike Amnesty International have already denounced the mass arrests of demonstrators over the past few days. Egypt has now witness 6 consecutive days of protests the slogans have all been demanding an end to ccs rule and while the number of protests may be growing gradually ceases grip on power doesnt seem to be loosening. Earlier i spoke to cyrus zs a professor of law at Rutgers University in the u. S. She says its important to note that the protests are being led by any opposition movements well theyre not organized because the crackdown on any type of collective activity has been very severe you can organize on facebook at camp protest there are laws against that theyve been doing prevented it detentions and sometimes kidnappings and so then the signal in the message is very clear that if you attempt to mobilize or oppose the government or vocalize your opposition then the government crackdown and what we see is use of tear gas use of bullets preventative detentions with a ground rounding up people and in some cases death and then people are in jail for who knows how long and sometimes they stay in pretrial detention for multiple years in a row so this is the regime has made it very clear since it came in power and that it has a 0 tolerance rate tolerance policy for opposition and dissidents so what we should anticipate is more of the same and then the real question is will the egypt shans be willing to face death by going out and protesting and i was going to the lines are so miserable that they will face the part the real possibility of being killed or imprisoned for life in order to protest or will they continue to persevere and suffer under very dire economic conditions. In other world news the number of confirmed covert 1000 cases in the United States is now past 7000000 according to John Hopkins University thats more than 20 percent of the worlds total reported infections meanwhile a study in the u. S. Says a reopening of a University Campuses could be linked to more than 3000. 00 additional cases a day top Infectious Disease expert on tony found she says he wants to see cases fall to below 10000 a day before the flu season starts in october person trump claims the country is rounding the corner on the crisis dr tom frieden is a former director of the centers for Disease Control and prevention he says the focus needs to be on longer Term Solutions and not just a quick fix. Its clear that different parts of the United States as different parts of europe are in very different places youve got the northeast and a few other states that have relatively low rates and have kept those low for many weeks now of other states with rapid increases one thing i think we need to be clear about is that we dont know what the flu season will look like this year in the Southern Hemisphere there wasnt a bad flu season so it may be that you dont have this kind of double trouble of flu plus coded but we do expect to see more code spreading in Colder Weather that would be expected and with people coming back to schools and colleges with not having consensus around mass wearing with not having good programs to test and trace people the u. S. Does not have the upper hand on the virus right now we hope there will be a vaccine rolled out to 2021 but thats not assured and even if theres a vaccine its not a fairytale ending to this pandemic with the vaccine were still going to need to be careful about interspaces be careful about hand washing and shaking hands and Wearing Masks do a good job of finding cases and contacts and outbreaks so that there isnt spread i think we need to get past the concept that we just need one thing and then this will go away we need to chip away at the risk of kogan and recognize that were all connected within countries and among countries and its an all of our best interest to Work Together to stop this pandemic and also be much better prepared for the next one. U. S. Media is reporting that President Donald Trump intends to nominate 48 year old Amy Connie Barrett a favorite with social conservatives to replace Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg on the Supreme Court members of congress have been paying their respects to the 1st woman to lie in state in the u. S. Capitol. Hill has more on the 89 year old who died last friday and the controversy surrounding the appointment of our success. A military guard escorted Ruth Bader Ginsburgs casket up the steps of the u. S. Capitol honoring a woman who helped transform life for millions of americans it is with profound sorrow and deep sympathy to the ginsburg family that i have the high honor to welcome Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg to lie in state the late Supreme Court justice was a champion for equal rights for men and women born to a world vastly different from the America Today in the 1950 s. Despite her brilliant mind and dog good work ethic she was demoted because of her gender and questioned for taking a mans spot in law school her tenacity and painstakingly thorough legal record eventually caught the eye of president bill clinton who nominated her to the Supreme Court ginsburg sat on the high bench for 27 years her diminutive size be lying her juggernaut status as a feminist icon for the left and voice for social justice through her scathing dissents. Line a topic had a bill for president Abraham Lincoln ginsburg broke yet a final barrier becoming the 1st woman and 1st jewish person to be afforded the honor of lying in state at the u. S. Capitol. As a lawyer she won equality for women and men not in one swift victory but brick by brick case by case through meticulous careful lawyer. She changed the course of american law. Democratic president ial candidate and former Vice President joe biden was among those who pay their respects at the end of a long struggle with cancer ginsburg dying wish was to have a new president named her replacement to the Supreme Court polls show a majority of americans feel the same but President Donald Trump plans to announce his nominee to fill ginsburgs vacancy saturday. Trump will nominate a conservative judge and Senate Republicans have the numbers to push through confirmation possibly before the november 3rd election that would give trump a significant victory to tout to his base the creation of an ironclad conservative majority in the Supreme Court whoever replaces ginsburg could wield key votes for upcoming cases on health care and abortion rights and as the president has acknowledged could even help resolve any recall challenge to the Election Results those powder keg circumstances fewer than 40 days before voters choose their president all but guaranteed contentious congressional hearings a head but for now a last quiet moment beneath the u. S. Flag at half mast in honor of a woman who leaves the country more equal for individuals and more divided in politics. Castro aljazeera washington or less now speak to jeff houser who joins us on skype from washington d. C. Hes annoying and executive director of the valving dollar project at the center for economic and policy research thank you very much for being with us so Amy Connie Barrett expected to be nominated by President Trump on saturday according to u. S. Media before we talk about who she is and what direction she likely take the court if she is confirmed lets talk about the process democrats have of course been attempting to block this nomination just how better do you expect the battle in the senate to be to confirm if she is indeed nominated by john. I think the battle is going to be extremely bitter i think the biggest question is just how bitter it will be the more active this wing of the Democratic Party wants to make this perhaps the most contentious situation in the senate since the days of the before the civil war. Believing that americas democracy is in question right now more establishment wing of the Democratic Party thinks things are basically. Bad but can get better on their own and they dont want to rock the boat so i think its going to be contentious just that intention is remains oddly enough a subject of contention Amy Connie Barrett is a favorite of social conservatives and shell hole from the right if shes nominated and confirmed what will that mean for the direction of the Supreme Court on issues like roe v wade abortion rights is is she the vul to overturn roe we think absolutely there is no question and kone barrett and are her mentor or her mentor as Antonin Scalia the leader of the right wing Legal Movement in the United States for the past 50 years they have dreamed of the day in which they can overturn roe v wade for many decades and 20 there were not when should the opportunity to do so she will not be as forthright as im suggesting in her answers to the senate but her answers should not be taken seriously do you think this pick could have an impact on the election itself and the outcome of the election and d. C. Her recusing herself if theres an election question is present trump has been suggesting in the past few days saying that he you know he wouldnt probably recognize the election as being free of fam. I am. I dont believe that many votes will be moved by the county barrett nomination i think this entire process is unpopular and that might be a slight drag on from the trunk obviously believe that when a thoughtful conservative out shore up the base and shore a relatively high floor for his vote total that is inadequate to win the election but is close enough maybe to kind of the old election and that is where tony barack decision about whether or not to both on cases before the court thats a decision that potentially momentous i suspect she will agree to hear cases and thats why this is to my mind such a worrisome development in repair ginsburgs tragic death and rapid ascension of 20 barrett in the likelihood that you will be able to take that the so quickly which is why i think the archives should buy extremely hard but yes i think he there is a pop a distinct possibility that cases will go before the Supreme Court and im skeptical that 20 barrett would recuse herself in fact im sure trump has made a. Complete confidence that she would not recuse herself after the Jeff Sessions attorney general situation we know the trumpets very aware of the possibility of recuse told by people who are supposed to be more oil to him in his eyes and im sure hell never get old again like that i mean to see how this all unfolds thank you very much for talking to us jeff house anytime.
