hello and welcome to our show. i'm stephen beardsley in berlin. we begin in the us where the supreme court has ruled, but states cannot keep donald trump off the 2024 ballad. unanimous ruling strikes down, colorado's bid to bar trump from its presidential primary duty. his efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeats the states top court, removed him from the ballad in december. so adding a constitutional ban on every insurrection is running for office. supreme court said only congress could enforce that rule. trump has walk in the really i want to start by thanking the supreme court for its unanimous decision. today, it was a very important decision. we're very well crafted, and i think it will go a long way toward bringing our country together, which are countries of course, spawn of benjamin alvarez. goulburg joins us now from denver,

colorado for more on this ruling, benjamin walker through exactly what this ruling says. this is indeed a major victory for donald trump, who we just heard the appraising the supreme court is important to remember that he himself nominated 3 of the justices that have republican majority, 6 to 3. but as you said, all of them decided that it's not up to states to decide to one of which of the candidates it should be or shouldn't be on the ballot, they decided that is not up to states to decided but up to congress atc and to look into this section 3 of the 14th amendment, that has been in discussions, and it's a pretty important case. what they said here because it does not only close the dispute between the supreme court of colorado and the us to people, but also other states like a main and also like, you know, they tried a to try to bear a donald trump from the decision they said so all of them it was a $9.00 to 0 decision, said that is not up to states to decide keeping him on the ballot for

a super tuesday that will happen tomorrow with 15 is states will people in 15 states will have a to the ballots. to decide to will be the republican a know me need it for the upcoming presidential election. and benjamin just to be clear and did this rolling determine whether trump had indeed committed insurrection or was it rather legal in its nature? that's what donald trump of what this legal team try to get, but they did not get that that's important in this long rolling that was published day today, the supreme court did not clear terms of committing insurrection by what they said, not up to the states, to decide if you should be on the ballot or not, but up to, to congress. it to take the decision. so they did not clear trump. it for what is being accused of, of the insurrection of a 2020. or you mentions super tuesday. this ruling coming just ahead of that important day for the elections is trump winning, the republican national, the republican presidential nomination. pretty much

a foregone conclusion at this point. that's right, donald trump said that he's an a quote on a rock to the republican nomination. and if we'll look at the number of delegates, he has almost 6 times as many delegates as nikki haley making 81, the republican nomination in the district of columbia in dc. but we can expect that to be will when most states tomorrow. and that's what he's been pushing for, and that's what has been said, that he will still be on the ballot. so he's gonna victorious prep. this was very important for them. this was announced really on short notice sunday, but of course this decision from the supreme court need it to happen before super tuesday before it. you can say super tuesday is indeed the most important. the election date it before the presidential election in november with this decision clearing him not on the interaction, is not on engaging and insurrection, inciting into the action, but saying that states are not allowed to keep them off the ballot. so important not only a full, the boats here in colorado, but also in maine or ill, you know,

they tried to have several segments with hertz, also from the secretary of state or in colorado who blasted this decision in general griswold. she said that she's disappointed that the us supreme court decision stripped is states and i quote of the authority to it for section 3 of the 14th, that meant and for federal candidate to set colorado should be able to bar oath. breaking insurrection is from the balance, right? that's due to be corresponding with benjamin alvarez. rober reporting from colorado, the state that's a center of that supreme court ruling. thank you. benjamin over europe now where france has become the 1st country to make a boston a constitutionally guaranteed, right. abortion has been legal in france is 1975, but public support has grown to enshrine the right in the constitution that was prompted in large part by a us supreme court ruling in 2022 over turning that constitutional rights to an abortion in the us as to when adults you said sound good because

the president of the nation of assembly island brown pv announced the result of the historic vote by a margin of 780 to 72 lawmakers. from across the political spectrum, made france the only country in the world to explicitly enshrine access to a voice and in its constitution. with our boot, today we recognize the fundamental human right of abortion. because the threat of regression is weighing heavy on women. because the right to abortion always reappears on the list of things. the extreme right wants to attack from what rock is crowds in paris gathered at the eiffel tower to celebrate the news. france, women's rights activists had started the push to guarantee the right to

a voice in last year after the us supreme court curtailed the rights in that country. abortion enjoys wide support in france and has been legal since 1975. do you have any correspondence? lisa? luis in paris has more on what it took for france to get here. and this is the end of an 18 months legal process at that started in the summer 2022. and there were in the, in the beginning several initiative by opposition parties from the last, 1st of for a to, to do such a move and the 1st readings of these initiative. so the rights to version abortion rejected by the senate, the lower house of parliament where you have a writing majority. and then over the months of this topic, really changed and no more people, more and more politicians were talking about. until finally, it was clear that the needed to be another,

right. and the government came into the picture and said, and i, okay, let's negotiate on the exact reading of this new, right. and now as i said, the new what is and try and will be signed in the constitution, is the guaranteed right for women to have an abortion. and so finally, there is in the sign a to fall to it like they could, they may be in favor, so we're not completely against about it and trying this in into the constitution. they've agent in favor of this initiative. and now we have this overwhelming majority today in the congress invest side, where you bring with the government, brought together at the national assembly and the senate in favor of this initiative dw score correspondent lisa luis. there. let's take a look now, some the other stories making headlines around the world. more than 40 governments are calling for an international investigation into the death of russian opposition leader alexa in a bony countries including

u. s. and e. u member states. expressing their outrage before the you in human rights council? would they accuse president president vladimir putin of being responsible for nev only stuff? the argentines government has suspended the country state news agency, tell workers protests of the move outside. tell them splinters are as officers calling it an attack on press freedom. the suspension comes at the right wing populace. president hop you in the late announce he was shutting down. the agency which he accuses of spreading left wing propaganda with leaders over wanda and the democratic republic of congo are to hold talks about the regions long running conflict. congo accuses bewanda of supporting the m 23. reval group, which is waging an insurgency, an eastern congo. lawanda denies the claim. the latest fighting between levels and the connelly's army has erupt, a new goma in the towns of socket. shoshone and the web on hundreds of thousands of civilians are fully when claudine arrived, it had 2 children,

a discount on the outskirts of goma. she felt relief, but only briefly. she's one of the newest, internally displaced persons here. the un estimates of the fighting has driven 800000 people to seek refuge in this city alone. despite the claudine being a fresh face that's come, the 20 year old is not a new tool. she was born into the conflict and it continues to rob her of her loved ones. i saw them killed my friend. we were on our way to massage, and there was a lot of gunfire. that's when my friend got shot in the head. keith, so this is claudine is running from the m $23.00 rebels, whose resurgence in recent years has fueled violence and too many tavian crises in the area with the ripples gaining more and more round inland. the comes further east of buckling under the pressure and the advance makes fluid in fearful that it's only a matter of time before the config catches up with a. you know,

i'm scared when i hear that m. 23 is getting closer. i feel that things are not ok in my body. in the capital kinshasa, the focus is on diplomacy of to previously accusing rundle backing up tend to see rebels. kimberly's president felix just security has extended un only branch saying he's now open to meeting the runtime counterpart to gandhi has consistently denied any links to m. 23 talks between the 2 sides have failed before a civil society. it's a not optimistic that diplomacy can do much to change the end. you see that a guy you see here in the comes every day. there are 6 deaths for either because of the war like disease or famine such, but do you want the congolese people to keep dying is really critical. would be some dying the battlefield or some die because they have nowhere to sleep. i think you may have others are dying because they're in become, you know,

but yet they're fleeing therapy because they're afraid of me to ask you to about it . but here to think it's the same thing. the most base us citizen, i'm sure the us typing ation mission. one new school admits that the dsp crisis is one of the most neglected in the world. the mission will leave the country by the end of the year and leaving most security questions open for this cause of protection of cvn hotter, which mondays, it's great. your departure would certainly have an impact on you. many tell you on a variations, especially internal boxes, for those in the camp. the biggest challenge is a clear way out of the conflict either through diplomacy or military action. the empty tray rebels seem determined to take over more time between meaning. one thing for claudine and have family things could get even with here to the government of haiti has declared a state of emergency as violence in the island country escalates. armed gangs have
