7:05 pm
the entire western world. and the interest of putting, of course, is to divide the rest and democracies. that's why we have to step up our commitments to assume green to the, to the maximum extent, to the extent that is needed for ukraine to prevail in this war. in substance, what is required from us is only support by financial means and by military equipment and ammunition, the ukrainians fight for themselves, and they do serve our support. for example, we in germany, we made a long way from a 5000 helmets that has been mentioned in your report of 2 now. 18000000000 zeros for military support only. but the real costs of this russian war. again, sue crane, are much higher for germany. we are suffering from a growing enterprises. for example, we are hosting some millions of refugees in germany,
7:06 pm
so the real costs cannot be found in the books, but they have to be taken by our society. and that's why the most effective way to end this war is to support ukraine, military and financially. and it's in the same way the cheapest way for us to support your trade. that was the german conservative lawmaker there don't mess zubair and speaking with us earlier. here's a look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . like saying of all these mother has accused russian investigators of trying to stage a secret funeral for her son. she says that she have seen her son's body and is resisting pressure to avoid the republic funeral because of all new was known as the kremlin critic. that is family, they've alleged that the kremlin murdered him. it was an allegation to that law scale has rejected, or the 17 year old student is suspected of stabbing for pupils at a school in western germany. today at least 2 of them seriously injured. according

7:11 pm
a leading expert on medical ethics. i asked him what this really means for people who are already in the process of getting id of treatments in alabama. yeah, so the case was about on the alabama around the full death of a minor statute, in the case arose out of destruction, of embryos by mouth fees and allegedly, by the back. so uh that you know, that one of the largest providers, alabama has announced that they're going to suspend the us. there will be a question about whether people who already have frozen embryos to transfer them to another state for example. so when it comes to people who are starting out, they're gonna have a tough time finding an alabama, this one going to freeze their embryos and can you just store them? is that the king smell in alabama, a doctor who performs an idea of treatment. it could be what sued.
7:12 pm
yes, into the wrong full on that statue support statute. so that civil liability, right. so the idea is that you could be sued just as you would be if you cause the death of a minor for samples of significant amount of liability. and then there are also questions about whether this interpretation the judge trip to the majority calls them extra or uterine children. whether that definition of what is a child under alabama law will be expanded. dr. statutes include in the criminal law, it is an interesting term. i'm, it is one of the, some i, i've never seen before, extra uterine children are in and that comes from the alabama supreme court. the wording of the court. i'm also include several references to god. is there a problem manage in your opinion of just just looking at things said, you know, clearly through a judicial lint, here's a real stand. assistant chief justice parker is concurrence. he talks about the
7:13 pm
idea that it would be asked front to himself, capital age for god. and this idea of the wrath of god might befall people. it's highly unusual to say this kind of language is claimed is that alabama by several statutes of the past. the cost you for a minute, as indicated, this is the view of the people of alabama, but i can say if you're not a member of it, you do a christian religion. it would seem quite unusual thing to be told. this is the law of alabama, that god is a part of that outlaw, but that is a d, but she just as parker's it how, how does this really, how does it relate to the abortion of question in the united states? and i'm wondering too, with the idea of treatment you're trying to help a couple of conceive and yet you're saying under this ruling, a doctor could be accused of, of what killing or hurting a child or how does, how does the, how does that make sense? yeah, this is the exact, i think, right?
7:14 pm
question to ask for this. actually the idea here is we have a couple who basically lost their chance to reproduce, lost their trance, to use their embryo and they brought as lawsuit. but the end result is it may be nobody can use item. yeah. and all of them are gone for in terms of abortion politics, this case can be seen as part of the larger move, which is called the personhood movement. in the decision of dogs be jackson and united states roby wave was over turn in theory, returning this question to the states. but there is a group of people who want their not to be a state by a state decision on abortion, but instead of federal laws to portion branding abortion across the entire united states. and one way to achieve that is to get an interpretation of the constitution that fetus is indeed, perhaps embryos are persons under the 14th amendment. and this is a part of that strategy or to be seen as a part of that strategy. yeah, yeah. but it apparently has worked at least in alabama doing cohen with harvard law . we appreciate your time in your analysis tonight. thank you. thank you.
