hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. after hearing rival arguments, the us supreme court seems unlikely to restrict access to a widely used abortion drug. before we went to the break, we are talking about nbc�*s decision to hire rhonda mcdaniel and whether new stations should be looking to hire ex politicos like her. i interrupted him, i'm sorry. i was making the comparison with our brexit debate here in the uk, and the equal billing that remainers were given alongside brexiteers who some would argue had flawed arguments. figs

alongside brexiteers who some would argue had flawed arguments. $5 i argue had flawed arguments. as i said at the time, _ argue had flawed arguments. " i said at the time, it was very difficult at the time to both balance your coverage of brexit and avoid giving people of different stature and expertise seemingly equal validity in the argument. i think on the whole, they did their best with it and did 0k, in my view. my best with it and did 0k, in my view. my point on the ronna mcdaniel case is, i think election denying is a different level. i read that more than 50% of republicans do not believe the result of the 2020 election was fair. and that's because people in positions of influence and authority like her have been telling them that the election was stolen. and once you start doing that, you're starting to basically make democracy crumble. so i think that's a different level of

seriousness, and that's why i kind of agree with those nbc correspondents who say she should not be hired. i correspondents who say she should not be hired-— not be hired. i like to put on screen what _ not be hired. i like to put on screen what liz _ not be hired. i like to put on screen what liz cheney - not be hired. i like to put on| screen what liz cheney said, not be hired. i like to put on - screen what liz cheney said, who of course sat on the january 6th committee. she said... and i guess the point is that right now, donald trump is spreading the same falsehoods. in fact, he's laying the groundwork for a return to the same playbook that we had in 2020. and if you hire someone like ronna mcdaniel, the anchors at nbc are saying, "you are legitimising that argument." do you see the point they are making in that? i see that argument.�* do you see the point they are making in that?— they are making in that? i see both perspectives _ they are making in that? i see both perspectives from _ they are making in that? i see both perspectives from it. _ they are making in that? i see both perspectives from it. absolutely, . perspectives from it. absolutely, the point — perspectives from it. absolutely, the point being that also you are

and still, without any proof he claims that a "window" had been prepared for the attackers to escape to ukraine — a narrative that kremlin bloggers are spreading across social media. but what do we know from the open source investigations that have been done? joining me now is karolina hird. she is a russia analyst at the washington—based institute for the study of war. thank you for being with us. so what have you discovered, is it true, that these attackers that they've arrested were headed towards the ukrainian border? 50 arrested were headed towards the ukrainian border?— arrested were headed towards the ukrainian border? so based off the oen ukrainian border? so based off the open source _ ukrainian border? so based off the open source evidence _ ukrainian border? so based off the open source evidence we _ ukrainian border? so based off the open source evidence we see, - ukrainian border? so based off the open source evidence we see, the | open source evidence we see, the attack was very much quick and carried out in very surgical fashion. and there's a little bit of loss of visuals on the attackers after they reentered their car and fled the scene. of course the russian allegations are that they were headed to ukraine, however the geo— located footage of where they were captured is about 90 km from

the borderfrom ukraine, or about 130 km if they are going on the highway that they were apprehended on. and then as of today, the belarusian president actually stated they were on their way to belarus when russian and belarusian services activated and basically deterred them and forced them to go towards them and forced them to go towards the ukrainian border. so based off of statements made by president lukashenko, they weren't headed to ukraine in the first place, but belarus. and lukashenko has very much blown a hole in the kremlin narrative they were headed for ukraine. ~ ., ., , , narrative they were headed for ukraine. ~ ., , , ., ukraine. what about the flip side of these consniracy — ukraine. what about the flip side of these conspiracy theories, - ukraine. what about the flip side of these conspiracy theories, that - ukraine. what about the flip side of these conspiracy theories, that the | these conspiracy theories, that the russian intelligence apparatus was somehow involved with it? that they didn't respond quickly enough? can you explain what you found about that? �* , ,., , you explain what you found about that? ~ y that? absolutely, so based off the 0 en that? absolutely, so based off the open source _ that? absolutely, so based off the open source evidence _ that? absolutely, so based off the open source evidence we - that? absolutely, so based off the open source evidence we have, i that? absolutely, so based off the| open source evidence we have, this was a massive intelligence and law enforcement failure on the part of the russians, but it doesn't have to be anything more than that. we know the russians got intel from the us

about a possible isis attack in moscow, but due to very heavy levels of distress between the russians in the us, they chose not to heed those warnings. we also know that law enforcement was very slow and actually responding to the report of the shooting. so all of these are very much systemic failures — that doesn't necessarily mean there was some vast conspiracy by the russian intelligence apparatus in planning this attack. the islamic state has claimed it, we have no reason to believe it was not the islamic state. all of the attack patterns and claim patterns, etc are very consistent with the way is claims and conducts attacks. and the way that the kremlin response has very much shattered, and all these russian officials are running around saying different things, suggesting they were so unprepared by this attack that they don't even really have a consistent informational line following the attack, other than a

course to blame ukraine. 50 following the attack, other than a course to blame ukraine.- course to blame ukraine. so they are still in shock— course to blame ukraine. so they are still in shock mode _ course to blame ukraine. so they are still in shock mode and _ course to blame ukraine. so they are still in shock mode and unable to - still in shock mode and unable to put a coherent narrative together. there was clearly warning from the americans which was given to the kremlin, which vladimir putin duly ignored. was there a reason why he was wary of acting on that intelligence within the muslim communities of the caucuses? that's actuall a communities of the caucuses? that's actually a phenomenal— communities of the caucuses? that's actually a phenomenal question, - actually a phenomenal question, something that's being ignored in this overall discussion. i think there are several reasons the russians may not have acted on the intelligence. first and foremost, they may be thought there was no good faith reason the us would've been offering credible intelligence. there is that basic distrust. but also, there is this degree to which i think the russian authorities were worried about conducting searches or crackdowns in the muslim minority ethnic enclaves within russia, because the kremlin has relied so heavily on these communities to basically mobilise for the war in

ukraine. centralasian basically mobilise for the war in ukraine. central asian migrant workers are very much disproportionately targeted by all of the shadow or crypto mobilisation efforts the kremlin is undertaking so it doesn't have to conduct general mobilisation. so basically if the russians had acted on this intelligence and done searches or intelligence and done searches or intelligence crackdowns in these communities, they would've risked creating even more discontent and alienation within the exec community as they were relying on to carry the burden of generating manpower for the war. ,, ., burden of generating manpower for the war. ,, ._ , ., burden of generating manpower for the war. ,, , ., ., the war. stay there if you would, let me bring _ the war. stay there if you would, let me bring in _ the war. stay there if you would, let me bring in our _ the war. stay there if you would, let me bring in our panel. - the war. stay there if you would, let me bring in our panel. so - the war. stay there if you would, i let me bring in our panel. so this is really interesting, but it doesn't really change the fact that after the fact in russia, the playbook is much the same. he will double down, security will be tightened, and he will use this for the draft, to draft more people into his more in ukraine. absolutely riaht, his more in ukraine. absolutely right. we've _ his more in ukraine. absolutely right, we've just _ his more in ukraine. absolutely right, we've just heard - his more in ukraine. absolutely right, we've just heard a - his more in ukraine. absolutely. right, we've just heard a forensic analysis—

case in the beginning of the war two years ago, whether the americans have a role in dispelling some of these false flag events russia would like to push. it’s these false flag events russia would like to push-— like to push. it's more important that they do _ like to push. it's more important that they do because _ like to push. it's more important that they do because it's - like to push. it's more important i that they do because it's important to have, _ that they do because it's important to have, no — that they do because it's important to have, no matter— that they do because it's important to have, no matter where - that they do because it's important to have, no matter where you - that they do because it's important to have, no matter where you are, | to have, no matter where you are, transparency— to have, no matter where you are, transparency and _ to have, no matter where you are, transparency and candour, - to have, no matter where you are, transparency and candour, and - to have, no matter where you are, . transparency and candour, and that's definitely— transparency and candour, and that's definitely key — transparency and candour, and that's definitely key. and _ transparency and candour, and that's definitely key. and to _ transparency and candour, and that's definitely key. and to your _ transparency and candour, and that's definitely key. and to your point - definitely key. and to your point that was— definitely key. and to your point that was brought _ definitely key. and to your point that was brought up _ definitely key. and to your point that was brought up earlier, - definitely key. and to your point that was brought up earlier, the| definitely key. and to your point. that was brought up earlier, the us warned _ that was brought up earlier, the us warned of— that was brought up earlier, the us warned of this— that was brought up earlier, the us warned of this two _ that was brought up earlier, the us warned of this two weeks _ that was brought up earlier, the us warned of this two weeks prior. - that was brought up earlier, the us warned of this two weeks prior. sol that was brought up earlier, the us| warned of this two weeks prior. sol think it's _ warned of this two weeks prior. sol think it's important _ warned of this two weeks prior. sol think it's important that _ warned of this two weeks prior. sol think it's important that there - warned of this two weeks prior. sol think it's important that there is - think it's important that there is transparency— think it's important that there is transparency and _ think it's important that there is transparency and that _ think it's important that there is transparency and that we - think it's important that there is - transparency and that we understand the ramifications— transparency and that we understand the ramifications of— transparency and that we understand the ramifications of what _ transparency and that we understand the ramifications of what happened l the ramifications of what happened there _ the ramifications of what happened there. ~ , ., the ramifications of what happened there. ~ ,, the ramifications of what happened there. ~ i. ., ., there. when you look at the draft that he's talking _ there. when you look at the draft that he's talking about, _ there. when you look at the draft that he's talking about, half- there. when you look at the draft that he's talking about, half a - that he's talking about, half a million more troops and the scaling —— serious scaling up of military manufacturing in russia, is this solely focused on ukraine or are they preparing for something much bigger? in

on a very sobering note, thank you very much for your reporting and coming on the programme. thanks so much. the us supreme court has been hearing oral arguments today in the most important case on reproductive rights since it overturned the constitutional right to abortion two years ago. this time, the focus is on abortion medication — and specifically the nationwide availability of mifepristone. the case was brought by a group called the alliance for hippocratic medicine, which is challenging the fda's 24—year—old decision to approve the drug. the backdrop for today's hearing is the rapid rise in the use of this of medication. the total number of self—managed abortions in which mifepristone was used increased by around 27,000 in the six months after dobbs, versus what would have been expected before that. in other words, a substantial number of people are accessing abortion medication to get around state bans and restrictions. here's some of the back and forth in the court earlier today. fda's outsourcing of abortion drug harm to respondent doctors forces them to choose between helping a woman with a life—threatening

condition and violating their conscience. the millions of americans have used mifepristone to safely end their pregnancies. respondents may not agree with that choice, but that doesn't give them article three standing or a legal basis to upend the regulatory scheme. for me, this really is the big one. if the court ruled against the fda, then potentially this would have far greater practical effects than dobbs did, because so many people are using this drug even in states where abortion is banned. but from what i picked up today from those oral arguments, it looks like the justices are seeking an off ramp. it does, and you bring up a really good point about if the rule this issue with this drug, there could be widespread ramifications. ithink one of the key issues in this case is standing. so in the united states, in order to bring a case,

you have to have standing and you have to have some type of arm or injury —— harm or injury. and i think that'll definitely be key in this case of people bring this think that�*ll definitely be key in this case of people bring this case— what is their harm or injury that they incurred? i think that's a strong argument to go against them in this case. d0 strong argument to go against them in this case-— in this case. do you think there's a olitical in this case. do you think there's a political element _ in this case. do you think there's a political element to _ in this case. do you think there's a political element to this _ in this case. do you think there's a political element to this case? - political element to this case? because donald trump is made abundantly clear in some of his rallies that dobbs has been a loser for republicans, and if they were to ban the medication nationwide, that would have a fairly chilling effect on republican voters. there's a majority of people that want abortion rights to be protected in america. , ., . . ., ., . america. yes, according to recent studies, america. yes, according to recent studies. the _ america. yes, according to recent studies, the majority _ america. yes, according to recent studies, the majority of _ america. yes, according to recent| studies, the majority of americans support a woman's right to choose, but it's interesting that donald trump has come out and said, and i'm paraphrasing, that because of him, roe v wade is gone, and roe v wade was the law of the land for the last

50 years, they gave a woman the right to choose, and the supreme court recently overturned that. so if that's why it's court recently overturned that. so if that's why its key to get voters out to vote in 20 to four because reproductive freedom will deathly be one issue on the ballot. it reproductive freedom will deathly be one issue on the ballot.— one issue on the ballot. it always star rers one issue on the ballot. it always staggers me. _ one issue on the ballot. it always staggers me, kim, _ one issue on the ballot. it always staggers me, kim, how- one issue on the ballot. it always staggers me, kim, how donald i one issue on the ballot. it always - staggers me, kim, how donald trump manages to straddle the horse on this. clearly you have to look at the bench — the three justices he put on the bench who have a very conservative view of abortion — and yet, i guess the view generally in the united states is that he's the roguish kind of guy that probably would encourage someone to have an abortion, indeed might�*ve paid for one in the past. he seems to away with it both ways. i one in the past. he seems to away with it both ways.— with it both ways. i never thought, i must say. — with it both ways. i never thought, i must say. that — with it both ways. i never thought, i must say, that he _ with it both ways. i never thought, i must say, that he was _ with it both ways. i never thought, i must say, that he was someone i with it both ways. i never thought, i i must say, that he was someone who was thinking _ i must say, that he was someone who was thinking is a great chessmaster 4-5 moves — was thinking is a great chessmaster 4—5 moves ahead, he was maybe one

this evening, back same time tomorrow, join us for that. good night. is your this is your update from the beauty sport centre. a tense time as wales look to secure their spot in the championship. they've had their chances, kieffer moore among them forcing a great save here from poland keeper chesney. but they've not been able to make it count, it's currently goalless there in the first half of extra time as we speak. penalties could decide if it stays like this. wales in the most successful era are hoping to reach a third successive european championship. the winners of this will be in group d at year 2024, along with france, the netherlands and austria. ukraine came back to beat iceland, winning 2-1 came back to beat iceland, winning 2—1 in poland. the match at a neutral venue due to the war.

iceland lead through gudmundsson, but ukraine found their equaliser in the second half before chelsea's goodrick got their equaliser, and they make the tournament with belgium, slovakia and romania. georgia earlier secured their place in the first ever major term after beating greece on penalties to make it a euro 2024. nothing to separate the teams in normal time and ask her time in a tense affair with the score goalless, but georgia were clinical from the spot. he converted his spot kick after grease's george's and missed to the delight of the home fans they are into polisi. georgia will be in group f in germany this summer alongside turkey, portugal, and the czech republic. england salvaged... the first goal came after a mistake from england goalkeeperjordan pickford, his clearance finding his way to gary tielemans and their family. he

slotted that into the bottom corner there. good goal to get them off the mark, ivan toney equalised then from the spot for his first england goal. but belgium retook the lead before half—time, with tielemans getting his second after a sublime pass they are from roma lukaku. just when it looked like england were heading for defeat, jude billingham struck in the 95th minute — much to the relief of manager gareth southgate. scotland are still searching for their first ever women's straight games. steve clark cosmic side were beaten 1—0 by northern ireland, and it was a special goal from conor bradley that put northern ireland ahead just before half—time. scott and have two more families before the euros began. their captain went off injured. sarina wiegman has named her england squad for the euro 2025 qualifiers against sweden and the republic of ireland. leah williamson is back in the squad after her making her return to the arsenal first—team after nine

months out with an acl injury. williamson was initially called up for friendlies against austria and italy last month — but had to withdraw through injury. we all didn't expect that one, and she the least. so yeah, that was a hard one to take, a big disappointment for her and us too. but you have to take it and get back, and get back into playing games. i think she recovered really well, and it didn't take too long, so that was good. and now she's getting into the rhythm, of course, she didn't play that many games yet, but she's getting there. she needs the minutes now. england number eight sarah beckett has been banned for three weeks, following her red card against italy in the six nations on sunday. beckett was sent off for a dangerous "clear—out" that resulted in italy centre michela sillari fracturing her leg and needing surgery. the incident warranted a six—week suspension, but that was reduced to three weeks due to beckett's "remorse,

good character and conduct" shown at the hearing. she will miss england's next three six nations games against wales, scotland and ireland. on to tennis — and andy murray says he'll be out for an extended period with an ankle injury, raising questions about how many matches he has left in his stellar career. the two—time wimbledon champion injured it during his defeat at the miami open, in what's widely believed to be his farewell summer in the sport. he has said on social media, "i'll be back with one hip and no ankle ligaments when the time is right." and a women's ashes test will be held at the melbourne cricket ground for the first time in more than 75 years. the four day match will be a day—nighter injanuary next year. and will be the culmination of the multi—format series — they'll play three one—day internationals before they head to the 100,000—capacity mcg and that's all the sport for now. wales and their euro playoff final

against poland is 0—0. that's it from us, we'll be back later on. hello. the barometer�*s falling, with heavy weather expected over the next few days. strong winds around some coastal areas, but inland, too. and on top of that, big shower clouds with downpours, hail and thunder. now, the satellite picture looks quite turbulent already, all these cloud patterns swirling around notjust the uk, but much of western and central europe. a big dip in thejet stream as well has allowed that colder air to filter in from the north as well. and the colder air will be responsible for generating some of these big shower clouds given the strength of that sunshine. it's that temperature contrast that creates all this turbulent weather. now, through the early hours, we'll see a weather front moving northwards across the uk. it has been quite wet already in some areas. notice that by the end of the night, it even turns quite wintry there across the scottish hills. and temporarily, some dry

weather there across central parts of the uk. very quickly, we'll see strengthening south—westerlies and the heavy showers will be sweeping into south—western england, into wales, particularly wet in northern ireland. we could see up to 30—40 millimetres of rain, perhaps even more than that in some areas. but those winds really will be very noticeable, pushing in those big shower clouds, cumulonimbus clouds, bringing the downpours, with the hail and at times thunder. and a chilly day, temperatures in some areas not making double figures. then, into thursday, if anything, the winds will strengthen further. in fact, this area of low pressure has been named by the spanish met service as storm nelson. severe gales for a time possible on the coasts, very windy inland, too, frequent showers across the country. a really turbulent day with those dramatic cloud scapes. and, again, on the chilly side, with those strong winds and particularly in those showers. look at good friday — i think the winds will be a little lighter, but still quite breezy on this day.

and also showers expected, particularly across some western areas. and then, as we head into the easter weekend, we start to see some changes. the air actually starts to come in from the south, and that means that the atmosphere will warm up at least somewhat, so the temperatures will rise. we're possibly talking about the mid—teens across southern parts of the uk, about 12 celsius expected in belfast. but, really, it is looking like a mixed bag until then. bye— bye.

tonight at 10pm... the search for six people missing, after a container ship hit this bridge on the east coast of america, sending it crashing into the water. this was the moment it happened. the whole bridge just fell down. the whole bridgejust the whole bridge just fell down. the whole bridge just collapsed. the ship had suddenly lost power and veered off course. we'll show you how it all unfolded. also tonight... the baptism of the clapham chemical attacker — abdul ezedi granted asylum after a judge accepted he was a christian convert, despite concerns he was lying. on a knife edge now in extra time — can wales beat poland for a place in the euros? and why north korea censored alan titchmarsh's trousers. 0n bbc london...
