She was a prominent advocate of women's rights, civil liberties and the rule of law.

Tributes to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, however, threaten to be overshadowed by the political firestorm that her death and the resulting vacancy on the highest court in the US will set off just 46 days before the presidential election.

Also on the programme: In Belarus protesters pull down the masks of those carrying out arrests in the hope that they will one day be identified and held accountable for their actions; and condemnation from China calling out US "bullying" after the decision by the Trump administration to ban downloads of the apps, Tiktok and Wechat .
