Media playback is unsupported on your deviceUS Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an iconic champion of women's rights, has died of cancer at the age of 87, the court has said.
As one of four liberal justices on the court, her health was watched closely. Ginsberg's death raises the prospect of US President Donald Trump trying to expand its slender conservative majority. In a statement in July, the judge said her treatment for cancer had yielded"positive results", insisting she would not retire from her role.
