inside story on al jazeera, a showcase of the best documentary films from across the network on al jazeera. ah. ready oh, sound side, the u. s. supreme court after an unprecedented lease, suggest justices good overturned the roe v wade case that legalize the bush. ah, play you're watching al jazeera alive from doha with me fully by table, also ahead. a group of people who escape the besieged, ukrainian city of merrier poll arrive to safety ins,

apparition where in eastern ukraine the new front line in russia's offensive, where shelling continues and people are desperate to get out of our carries now for a day journey to a shooter, we're seeing and know where to go. we follow the plight of villages of the qur'an minority escaping attacks by myanmar us army. ah, thank you very much for joining us. we begin with a possible threat to a landmark abortion law in the us hotels. so being held outside, the supreme court after league suggesting justices could strike down the key ruling the top court has been considering whether to overturn the 1973 judgement known as roe v wade. that legalize a procedure across the country. neither the supreme court nor the white house have

commented on the authenticity of the leeks draft justices are expected to issue their ruling in june. well, there's been plenty of reaction to the leak with the us house speaker, nancy pelosi saying that if the report is accurate, the supreme court decision would go down as one of the worst and most damaging decisions in modern history. she said it would be the greatest restriction of rights in the past. 50 years, not just on women. on the republican side, the senator for arkansas, tom cotton says the supreme court and the department of justice must get to the bottom of this league immediately. in the meantime, roe v wade was a gravis egregiously wrong from the beginning, and i pray the court follows the constitution and allows the states to once again protect unborn life. while several conservative states have recently joined a growing push to restrict abortion, oklahoma's governor has signed a near total bond. the only exception is a medical emergency. kentucky has banned the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy

. though the laws yet to come into effect, it could force the states to remaining abortion providers to close taxes, outlawed abortion. after 6 weeks, one woman was arrested for murder after allegedly carrying out a self induced abortion. though the charges were later dropped or less now speak to peter matthews about this. he is a professor of american government and political theory and is joining us live from los angeles. thank you very much for being with us, miss matthews. first of all, how big of a deal is this leak a draft ruling of the supreme court and is this it a final decision that expect that is expected to be released to summer is a huge earthquake. what i would say is california, there are quite literally so huge, but in the case that it's never been leaked before. the going to draft. ready really ever leak before ruling can change in the process before they make the final publish the final ruling and vote, which could happen

a few months from now weeks from now. so this is very unusual and it is. the court does allow the states to ban abortion. there will be even a double earthquake. people will believe major political repercussions and human repercussions situation. now, if the decision is confirmed, the repeal of the abortion law. what exactly would it change though? because at the moment, even with roe v wade, several states have bands, again on abortion like texas for example as 6 weeks. yes. this point that's true. and what would have changed, however, is that states is not completely bounded worse and without even regulating. and frankly, this could happen any time. and the problem is that really way it was not even codified in federal law, is a supreme court ruling, not a congressional statute to codify it. but the problem is that you need to have 60 loads to which with a filibuster in place, will take 60 most in the senate to be able to pass code

a lot better level to legalize abortion to keep it secure. but there are 6060 votes for it in the senate, and then we'll talk about the ball. she'll feel about you to get that. going to make it into federal law to over. ready this lucky overturn this really in the sense i and isn't it's quite interesting to see what will happen. but if i were a woman right? not be very worried concerned about my future and my choice on this matter. it's very important to preserve choice. she's a woman. what will the democrats see thank use a filibuster? well, actually to they cannot use a filibuster now to prevent this really from taking place. but what can do is to seek to attempt to pass a law that would actually, in may make its federal code. abortions are protected by law, by federal law. but to do that, the 60 votes because of the filibuster, it takes, you know, to $30.00 to $60.00 votes to be able to overcome it. filibuster, and the thing is, the republic filibustering to kind of attempt to make this into

a federal law. that's the only way to go at this point. i think it could happen that it looks like from the argument is justice a liter. we'll send it back to the states, but some states have not box, right. which could make abortion automatically illegal, even if roby weight is weakened or repealed. right? yeah, it will be up to the safe side. and for example, california will keep illegal here. but other states like texas and other red states are pretty the 21 states are waiting with legislation to get a restrictive motion for the bad and altogether right now at this point, they were waiting for this kind of decision. and this leak is actually cautioned. everyone now and was woken up the country in a sense then it's cause a lot more attention division, but it has to be exposed to what's really going on here. so we're in very precarious terms, right? this, in this case, mr. math is one final question. if i may, what, what do you see the political implications of this decision if it is confirmed? how could it impact the 2020 and elections? for example,

even the upcoming mid terms really definitely affected the mentor that are coming up in june primaries and november general election. because many, many women and the friends of women are supportive of the choice for women to make on this will be galvanized into voting into deciding to put more people in the car . if that was pledge to keep abortion illegal, would pledge to actually make sure that that's a law federal law that would try that. so they're looking for this. this is this particular decision, as actually he made sure that more people tried to vote on both sides, but i think one, maybe some numbers, 66 percent of american people oppose overturning will be weighed 30 percent support overturning it. so that division is gonna show up in the election coming up in the mid terms and also the presidential if it wasn't for the former president, trump stacking up the court with conservative justices. do you think this would have happened without having president trump in an unusual circumstance, able to point 3 justices. and don't forget that miss mcconnell delayed president

obama's appointment for 10 months for he could have appointed somebody with balance balance the court war. but instead 3 seats were made available for trumped appoint . and this is get complete the whole equation over and overturned the ability to protect all the way other kinds of progressive decisions. thank you very much. be to matthew's for talking to us about the speech. matthews is a professor of american government and political theory. joining us from the sanchez, we appreciate your insight on this ah, the war in ukraine now, an attempt to free more people from the besieged city of maria poor, have hate delays again. russian forces reported to resume shelling at the as of sounds. thea works soon after at least a 100 civilians were evacuated on monday. some people from mary paul have made it to sap parisha, the only large city in the southeast under ukrainian control. hold abdul hamid

other states. according to us agencies, wildfires are burned more than twice as much land this year. as in the same period of 2021, rob reynolds, l g 0, australia central bank has increase its interest rates for the 1st time in more than a decade. it says a hike is aimed at curbing inflation. that's climbed higher and faster than expected. the rise of 25 basis points has sparked our debate about the health of australia's economy just 2 weeks before federal elections. now, tuesday is world press freedom. day journalist in uganda say it's getting harder to do their jobs because of the government crackdown on dissent. while rice group say it's part of a long running campaign to silence critical voices. heron will tasa reports for these journalists waking again, that is frustrating and sometimes dangerous. in march, the independent on line

t v station was rated by security officials, journalists were arrested for what the government called cyber stalking and offensive communication. some say they were tortured before being released on bail in thing, in regards to broadcast with pickin, anything regarding to or office equipment from computers to even media paperwork even receipts me or was it written for fuels? i mean, everything was to him. that's why it's a noun clause, because as move our own find i am sure you. so our team, i do as it seems at our section, we do anything, rights groups, the keys presidential air mas seventies government of silencing critics was saving . he has been in power since 1986. the opposition say he has become increasingly authoritarian, cracking down and voices of descent and harassing independent media outlets that it causes the attacks on jalissa. i think she

a failure to appreciate the critical role that will media plays in a democracy where the security and governments tend to think that was generally. so media house curves the story that his notes in their favor. they are fighting demand against them. they do not appreciate the critical importance of holding leaders to account over exposing missouri gross or misses of office on power. uganda government says it is not trying to muzzle the press, but journalist can't be allowed to publish. false news, commit libel, and fuel incitement. they are not going to call to ignore the media house. oh genesis because they are. so you're talking about is dense his of grain. i'm the security forces going in there, but it's not targeting the, the journalist, but some journalist in uganda feel the state is targeting them and they say more needs to be done to respect people's rights to freedom of speech and expression. harder matessa out of her. now a space mission where the well 1st difference,

new zealand based rocket land has launch its electron rocket taking 34 satellites into orbit. but it's what happened on the way back to earth that's unique. the rocket was captured, as it fell, using a customized helicopter. and parachute, the venture was only partly successful because the rock it was later dropped into the pacific ocean. amy thompson is a contributor at space dot com. she explains a significance of what the company has achieved. as the rocket was falling through the atmosphere, it was outfitted with some parachutes that were helping to slow it down enough that the helicopter could hook on to it. and although there wasn't something quite right with the connection and they had to drop the booster, it's still a significant milestone because this is their 1st attempt and they were partially successful, which is amazing. salt water is very corrosive, and i'm damaging to the parts that the rocket is made out of. so they want to try

to minimize the exposure to salt water as much as possible, which is why this mid air catch was invented, you know, so that they would avoid the booster falling into the ocean at all. and instead they would, i'm sort of drop it onto the deck of the ship. if you look at space acts, which is the only other company right now that is reusing rockets. the 1st stage accounts for probably about 60 percent of the cost of the rocket. so that's a significant savings when you're talking millions of dollars. ah there we get them fully back table with the headlines on.
