[000:00:00;00] oh, a protest outside the usa bream court after an unprecedented leak suggest justice is good. overturn roe v wade case that legalized abortion? ah ha. you're watching al jazeera alive from do how with me for the back table, also ahead. a group of people who escape the besieged, ukrainian city of merrier, full reach safety ins. oper, reacher. we are in east and ukraine than you frontline in russian effect of rushes

offensive where shelling continues and people are desperate to get out about 2 weeks now. i journey to with and on world press freedom day. we meet the uganda and journalists force on the air they say doing their job is dangerous. ah, thank you for joining us. we begin with a possible threat to a landmark abortion law in the us. protests have been held outside the supreme court, after league suggesting justices could strike down the keyboarding room. the top court has been considering whether to overturn the 1973 judgment known as roe v wade, that legalize the procedure across the country. neither the supreme court nor the white house have commented on the authenticity of the leak justices are expected to

issue their ruling in june. i absolutely have to be out here because this is something that affects me so personally and, and hurt so much to know that has might be ripped away from me. right. right. i feel like i really don't have any way for like i don't, i can't have the, i'm born are human and we've been telling them in math to the tune of millions. and so i have no words or there's in plenty of reaction to the leaked draft with 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 on of rights in the past, 50 years, not just on women. on the republican side, the senate for arkansas, tom cotton says, the supreme court and the department of justice must get to the bottom of this leak . he adds roe v wade was gregory slee wrong from the beginning,

and i pray the court follows the constitution and allows the states to once again protect unborn life. several conservative states have recently joined a growing push to restrict abortions. oklahoma, the governor has signed a near total band. the only exception is a medical emergency. kentucky has banned the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy though, the law is yet to come into effect. it could force a said to remaining abortion providers to close texas that lot abortion after 6 weeks, one woman was arrested for murder after allegedly carrying out a south induce abortion though the charges were later dropped. peter matthews. he's a professor of american government and political theory. he says, if the abortion law is overturned, it will cause a politically divisive earthquake across the us. there's never been a draft really ever leak before. ruling can change in the process before they make the final. 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 will be even a double, or people will believe major political repression and human repercussions. we will be up to the states to the side and we got the telephone. you will keep illegal here. but other states like texas and others, the read space are pretty. the $21.00 states are waiting with legislation, be the restrict motion for the bed and all together. right? enough is point waiting for this kind of a decision. and the leak is actually cautioned everyone now and what woke up because we had a sense and it's cause a lot more attention in 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 really definitely affects in the midst of that are coming up in june primaries and november general action. because many, many women as friends of women are supportive of choice for women to make will be galvanized voting and deciding more people in the congress that will pledge to keep

abortion legal. would pledge to actually make sure that that's a lot federal law that we're trying to, they're looking for this is this particular decision has actually made sure that more people tried to vote on both sides. but i think why maybe some numbers, 66 percent of american people oppose overturning will be weight. well, the 30 percent support overturning it, so that division is gonna show up the election coming up. and early i spoke to shana, so want to as a politician and a member of seattle city council, she says pro abortion activists need to go on the offensive. the people who are outside the supreme court are saying this. the victory on roby wade in 1973, was a landmark historic victory for abortion rights. and if this is undermined, then it will be a historic setback, and that is why we have no alternative, but to push back against it. we need mass protest. i completely disagree with a legal, you know, you called will be wait a decision that invented a right mention nobody in the constitution. let's keep in mind,

this was the constitution under which slavery was legal, and only wealthy white men had the right to vote. so let's not bad as i can thank. let's hold human rights a psychos then. and let's also keep in mind that merely do hold of americans today support will be waived and 72 percent of americans oppose overturning adobe rate. and in fact, support for the supreme court has fallen dramatically by 515 percentage point to the last 2 years. if you look at history here, we wade itself was one in the 1st place to mass p. s a working people. and in fact the supreme court rend ruby reed was one in 1973 was also majority republican. in fact, 5 of the 7 justices who would say abortion rights about i'm really public and, and yet women and working people, adults i wanted because it was mysterious pressure of mass movements during a time when we had the anti walk. good, right? environmental and civil rights movement. it's

a reminder of what needs to be done today. so we need mass protest in hundreds of cities across the nation to defend roe v wade. and we also need to go on the often so today's mass protest action for the war in ukraine now in more than $200.00 civilians remain at the huge seal plant in the ukrainian city of mario paul. according to the cities, man, russian forces reportedly started sharing the plan soon after at least $100.00 civilians were evacuated on sunday. the group is on its way to japanese asia, along with other evacuees from the city. oh, dab del hamid's reports from chapel, leesha. them is the 1st safe transit point for those fling, shelling and air strikes, a parking lot outside a shopping mall. aptly named epi centre, all day long convoys of cars kept arriving. this one was the 1st of the day,

want to turn wintry not immediately, but the air is getting cold buffer. so suddenly breeze you see. so while we start off with teens on wednesday in adelaide and melbourne and about low twenty's in purse, this gets colder, may be on the tops, the mountains and east victoria, that might be some wintry weather if not now, then a couple of days time that rain spreads up, nothing like as cold to brisbin to give a sundry day in new zealand sit pretty. it's a slow moving area of high pressure, which means that things going to change might be chilly mornings, but it's sunny by day and to be honest, mostly dry. ah,

a shooting thing policy and he is he who is responsible. but the chinese government will make sure that the claims will be painted at the local officials for the implementation of the policy, not on the policy itself. and certainly not on shipping. anyone who challenge that will be suppressed. and a new video from shanghai where people have been in lockdown for more than a month has sparked public outcry. it shows funeral home workers removing a body back from a hearse. the elderly man in side was believed, have dined it a care home. he was bound to be taken to his funeral when workers notice he was still alive. local government confirmed the incident and the care home had apologized for the mistake. australia, central bankers increase interest rates for the 1st time in more than a decade. it says the high case aimed at curving inflation that climbed high and

released on bail. anything in regards to broadcast with pickin, anything regarding to or office equipment from computers to even mia paperwork even receipts me everything with it's for fuel. i mean everything was taken. that's why it was closed and it was as moving around new fine. in fact, i am sure you saw our team as i do as it seems, i'd have reception, we do anything. right? group the keys president julia mas, 70 government of silencing critics, was saying he has been in power since 1986. the opposition say he has become increasingly authoritarian, cracking down on the voices of descent and harassing independent media outlets that he causes that talks on july. i think shia. very appreciate the critical that media plays in a democracy where the trinity and government tend to think that once generally. so media house carries the story that he's in their favor,

the fighting them. and again, it's them. they do not appreciate the going what is holding lead on to account by exposing much growth, misuse of office and power. again, as government says, it is not trying to muscle the press, but journalists, county allowed to publish false news, commit libel, and fuel incitement. they are not going to come to ignore the media, how or generally, because they are. so you're talking about if there is of grain, i'm the security forces going in there may not targeting that agenda. but some janice in uganda feel the state is targeting them and they say more needs to be done to stick people's rights to freedom of speech and expression. how to melissa auditor. now a space mission with a world 1st difference. then we have left off, ah, museum based rocket lab has launch its electron rock. it taking $34.00 satellites

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 on to 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, her again, i'm fully back to go with the headlines on al jazeera protests have been held outside the u. s. supreme court after league suggesting justices could strike donna keyboarding on abortion rights. the top court has been considering the judgement
