is talking to people understanding what they are going through so that i can convey the headlines in the most human way possible. here at al jazeera, we believe every one has a story worth hearing. ah, to. ready the u. s. supreme court launches any best negation after a laid to document revealed justices a considering striking out a landmark abortion lol. oh, hello, i'm emily. ang, when this is al jazeera live from doha, also coming up, women and children, and the elderly arrive in the ukrainian controlled city of separation. after spending almost 2 months trapped underground at the besieged steel works in mary a

home. versus even. that is why ukraine must britton's prime minister video links with members of parliament in ukraine. and pledge is $375000000.00 in military aid to help defeat russia. a. m. fighting between hindus and muslims in india, curfews imposed enjoyed paul and the internet is cut off as religious tension boils over. ah, we begin with the threat to remove the right of american women to have an abortion lake draft confirmed by the chief justice suggests the u. s supreme court is poised to scrap roy versus wide. the court ordered an investigation. in the past hour,

the u. s. president has urged congress to pass legislation protecting abortion rides. he says, a woman's right to choose is fundamental. you know, if this decision whole is really quite a radical decision, it basically says, all the decisions in your private life will you marry whether or not you decide to conceive a child or not. whether not, i'm on the voice range of other decision, whether not how you raise your child. what is your school? does this mean that in florida they can decide they're going to pass the law in that same sex marriage is not visible against the law in florida? so there's a whole fundamental shift in america. all right, let's bring in petty calhane who joins us live now from washington, dc. patty, the chief justice is just issued a statement once he had to say he's confirmed that the

draft will is authentic, but he went on to say that this is not a final decision though. it is supreme court process works is this draft is circulated and there have been times the chief justice himself, but it came to obamacare that initially signed down to that draft, but then changed his opinion during the process. so he's saying it's not a final decision. just yet, and he's also promising that there will be an investigation to this leak. it is pretty unprecedented in modern times. we don't get supreme court decisions before they're officially announced. they're going to be a lot of speculation about who did it. is this a very small pool of people who actually have the documents? are there some you were saying this was done by a conservative because it basically locks in these members, these 5 members. so if they were to change their mind, every one would know it was because of justice. so, and so that row was upheld, or it could be from the liberals that once you show exactly how many protests, how controversial this is going to be. if the supreme court takes the step,

another aspect of this is for president donald. trump was able to appoint 3 supreme court justices and some unusual circumstances. but 2 of them when they met with senators in order to be confirmed, they said this was settled law that it was the law of the land. so senators, you're starting to question where they lied to so that the supreme court justices could get to the supreme court to fulfill their own agenda. and patty, as you're saying this certainly is a political hot potato. we heard a quick grab from the president just before we spoke to you. what else has he had to say about his issue? i thought it was very interesting the way he's trying to broaden out the coalition of people who could be against this decision. he's saying basically, it's not just about abortion rights. this would open the floodgates for states to ban all sorts of things that are protected under the particular clause. that just as a leader of cited in his decision. so he saying, could they ban gay marriage? could they then as ban contraception that this opens the floodgates. and what he's

trying to do from a political perspective is really broad in the coalition of people who are going to come out to protest against this. he also said that he thinks it makes sense to codified this into law. that's going to be very difficult right now because democrats of such a slim majority in the house and the senate. but that would in fact overturn the supreme court. overturning of roe v wade, that something that they will look to do. but again, it's not clear if they could be able to do that without lifting the filibuster, so they'd have to have republicans on board. and that seems really unlikely. patty, you talking about the ramifications, eith rove as, as why does val and it's obviously sounding more and more likely that it will. what about the impact on the mid thames? well, it's 1st, the mid terms is going to be important, but the impact in real life americans is going to be it's going to be extraordinary . think about this concept, of course has been a constitutionally protected right for almost 50 years in the united states. what

we would expect to see, cuz there's a lot of states $21.00 to $24.00 that have already passed so called trigger laws. basically they say if the supreme court rules that there is no constitutional right to an abortion instantly, abortion is outlawed in their states. some states say there's no exceptions, not for rape, not for incest or not if the health of the mother. so we would see across the country almost half of the country in fairly short order, make abortion impossible to get in that state for the political ramifications. this could be huge. polls show the majority of americans believe there should be some access to abortion within limits. democrats, we're looking at a lot of headwinds in the mid terms. this is an issue that people on both sides care very deeply about. they will get to, they will take to the streets, they will get to voter drives. this could help not start. it's not certain, but it could help democrats retain power and the president didn't say that when you were speaking of the press but in his state. and he said, this is why we need to elect pro choice candidates. and it's not just at the

federal level, you're going to see activists at the state level. busy all the states that have band abortions, you're going to see a big push from activists at the local and state level to try and perhaps perhaps change the state laws if the federal laws don't change. this is, and i can't overstate this, this is an absolutely monumental decision for the country if it, in fact goes through, certainly is a staggering turn of events. we appreciate your updates as always, petty calhane live for us in washington dc. so let's take a look at what role this is, why it is, and why does it matter so much in the us row. this is why it was a 973 supreme court ruling, which we heard from patty. it was the end point of a case brought in texas by a woman known by the student named rose, who wanted an abortion. as with most other states, at the time it was illegal. she served the dallas county district attorney henry white, the case went through all the legal levels before the supreme court decided that

women had the right to make their own medical decisions, including terminating a pregnancy that took precedence over individual states laws. laura briggs is a professor of women, gender and sexuality studies and regularly writes about reproductive politics. she says the push to restrict abortions was set in motion long ago. nixon thought of the idea of politicizing, the question of abortion in this way. and in order to win republican votes, but it's also clear that whoever leads this draft decision intended that people should mobilize either to stark oil medication for medical portion or to get into the streets and just get on the pages of the editorial pages of news magazine to newspapers and let the court know that the majority of american support,

the outcome of roe v wade and legal abortion and the kind bodily autonomy for pregnant people that represents what we know from the texas bounty law is the 90 percent of the people who were seeking abortions, got them anyway. so they cross state lines or they turned to medication abortion that they could do in their own homes. and so what the score will do, what this particular ruling will do, is turn the question back to the state. and about a dozen states crossed the south in mid west her trigger laws that will immediately set out to criminalize abortion. while other states leg i'm here in massachusetts will protect the raid and possibly even expand the right to abortion. ah ok, let's get an update on the war in ukraine and women. children and the old lame were

allowed to leave. the besieged still works in mary a poll on sunday and have finally made it to relative safety. 101 arrived in ukrainian controlled city of separation. but 200 others are still trapped in the steel complex, along with hundreds of ukrainian soldiers who are are, and at renewed russian attack hotter. abdel, how mead has mo, from as apparition when we had these 5 buses arrive and then, you know, we, so these people emerging. and i was wondering, actually at the time if they knew how much they were really to focus for all these weeks. the, the whole world knew about these civilians that were in the basement of that still works. now, when they got off the bus, the, so the elderly women, we so young children, they were a bit, i think in a days maybe also because of all of this attention. but then they should have

slowly started to realize that they were here. they were getting, they went inside the tent where they got food, where they got all sorts of assistance and they were telling their stories. they were very thankful you know, to describe that life i being underground for 2 months. they also described how they were treated when they read these filtration centers where they were into a gated by the russians. obviously the russians wanting to idea anyone was leaving that you, paul, and one woman actually told us that she was threatened. she was told by a soldier not to leave because if she left she would never be able to come back home and never be able to see her city again. still ahead on al jazeera, a dangerous place for the media. we have a special report from mexico where increasing numbers of journalists being murdered . last doing all they can to save their arms. wildfires spread further across

with my cuba on al jazeera. ah, ah the me i have are you watching 0. i'm emily angry. he's a reminder about hope stories for us. supreme court chief justice has confirmed a link document which reveals, colleagues want to reverse the rights of women to have an abortion ease or same take precedent. joe biden has urged congress to pass legislation, protecting abortion right women, children and the elderly who were allowed to leave the besieged feel,

worked in mary a hold on sunday. i finally made it to relative safety in that ukrainian controlled territory. the 200 others remained trapped along with hundreds of ukrainian soldiers who are under renewed, russian britons, prime minister, has told members of parliament in keys that ukraine will win the war against russia . bars, johnson also pledged for the $375000000.00 in military age. he's the 1st world later to video link with parliamentarians since the war began. today. bob joins us live from london. hello then, james, how was the prime minister's address received? well, it was very warmly received by the ukrainian parliament and president vladimir zalinski, who was also present in the chamber as he appeared on the screen via video link. there was a standing ovation, and some parliamentarians actually had british flags which they were holding up.

and, and his message was, was a dual one really firstly, it was the expected announcement of a further $375000000.00 or so in military aids. on top of around $250000000.00 of weaponry and so on, that's already been supplied. this is are things like radar systems which can detect missiles and artillery projectiles. there are also a special drones being provided that can actually carry and supplies to ukrainian forces and or at least 13 armored vehicles which are going to be used to help in some places evacuate civilians are who are on the front line or stock in places such as we've seen in mario polls, so this was an expected announcement, but new detail. beyond that though, the real thrust of it was boris johnson expressing solidarity with the ukranian

people comparing their plight to the plight of the british during the 2nd world war . saying that their resistance was heroic, saying that history would actually remember the way the ukraine fought back against what he called the russian invasion and saying her. busy virtue this in his words, was ukraine's finest hour. your children and your grandchildren will say that ukrainians taught the world that the brute force of an aggressor counts for nothing against the moral force of the people determined to be free. they will say that ukrainians proved by their tenacity and sacrifice, that guns and tanks cannot suppressed a nation fighting for its independence. and that is why i believe, and i know that ukraine will, when you've proved the old say it's

not it's not the size of the dog in the fight. it's the size of the fight in the dog. and which is an old english saying, i didn't really how will that translates into ukrainian, but you get what i'm trying to say. and as you turned the russian army back from the gates of kid, you not only accomplished one of the greatest pizza moms of the 20th century 21st century. you achieve something deeper and perhaps equally significant. you exposed the historic folly that putin has made an day ma'am president emmanuel micron and vladimir persian have spoken at via the fine. you've got some further details about what was discussed between the 2 ladies. that's right. this is the latest and a series of phone calls between the 2 leaders since february,

the last one was just around 3 days ago. busy and the cool, reportedly lost page for more than 2 hours, lots of topics covered. but really no big breakthrough. according to the leave a palace in paris, president my call renewed his demands for a russian sci fi and urged russia to meet its responsibility as a member of the united nations security council. by ending what france is calling the devastating aggression in ukraine. the urgent president putin, to allow those evacuations from the as of south steel punch in mariel to continue to get more civilians to safety. he also said franz was ready to work with international organizations to lift rushes, blockade of ukraine's food exports coming via the black sea because of big worries about global food security. and on that topic, according to the kremlin president putin pushed back saying that this was really

only a problem because of the western sanctions imposed on russia and the you are currently thinking of new sanctions. president mccall also said that the west, sorry, president putin said that the west could stop what he called war crimes and atrocities, but ukrainian forces if they halted the supply of weapons to ukrainian military along the lines of what we've just seen. bar is johnson an out, so that really doesn't look like it's going to happen. but it just shows the annoyance of president booted the continued insistence and thrust by western leaders to try to equip ukraine's armed forces as much as they can to try to affect the outcome. of course, president, michael will say that he he wants to negotiated solution. he did so again, on tuesday, but this comes, is of the ongoing efforts to bolster ukraine's military efforts. so he's saying the

term, but he wants to see a peaceful and negotiated outcome. president putin says that russia is also still open to dialogue with you, craig, but he's accused the key of government of not really taking that process seriously, which doesn't really bode well for any kind of sci fi or any kind of hold to the voting. now has sent me to us and thank you very much for that update and his name bob, i live for us in london. a curfew has been declared an indian city of john, her following fighting between hindus and muslims internet connection. there has also been cut, the unrest began on monday night during religious festivals in both communities and continued on tuesday. elizabeth per annum is in new delhi and explains what, what's behind the confrontations. very heavy police press now in and around an area called a jewelry gate, off the city of george pul, following more clashes more fighting between hindus and muslims on tuesday. local
