available and that's only to the surrounding villages. so people like me and rose now need to find another way to get out of the city. but for now they, like many others, would have to reach in, hoping tomorrow is a better day. ah . anger in the u. s, as in the document reveals justice is on the supreme court, could strike down a landmark abortion will. it is hard not to feel angry, troubled a deeply disturbed. ah, lo, i'm sorry, i'm noisy in london, you're watching al jazeera, also coming up on the program. say for the 1st time in weeks, the 1st evacuees from the mary paul seal plant arrives safely in the ukrainian city

of upper regia. but russia renews its attacks on the is off. so plant where hundreds of people are still sheltering from the fighting. ah, we start in the u. s. where a leech draft opinion from the supreme court indicates justices will vote to scrap the federal protection of the right to access an abortion. the chief justice has confirmed the draft is draft, is authentic, and has ordered an investigation into how it became public. president joe biden has called the potential overturning of rove event weighed a radical decision and a fundamental shift with a $9073.00 ruling. recognize that the u. s. constitution's guarantee of liberty protects the right to personal privacy and a woman's absolute right to an abortion. currently,

there's at least one abortion clinic in every state. and most women live within an hour drive of one. but 13 states have already passed so called trigger laws that would automatically ban abortion as soon as row is overturned, and clinics would likely shut down in at least $22.00 states. while all makers planned to either band or restrict access to abortions, the organization planned parenthood said $36000000.00 women in the us would lose access to a safe abortion. other states have moved to enshrine abortion rights. i says light vermont, which is approved and amendment to guarantee reproductive rights alexia bryan reports. i. 2 it's one of the most divisive issues in the united states. within hours of a leaked draft opinion, showing justices could overturn and landmark ruling on abortion rights. protestors from both sides gathered outside the supreme court

why it's been considering whether to overturn the 1973 judgement known as roe. the wade that legalized abortions across the country. i'm very passionate about being alive and i'm just curious. i what the attitude is like and kind of witness history because this is a huge deal. it's expected to issue its ruling in june, but the draft written by conservative justice samuel leto suggests the top court would find the rosie way decision was wrongly decided. because the u. s. constitution makes no specific mention of abortion rights. this is really just tearing apart everything that we've worked for and everything. all the change that we've worked for to happen. it would represent a seismic shift and us politics, pushing decisions on abortion rights back to individual states. ah, it could also have a major impact on upcoming midterm elections as well as the presidential vote in 20

. 24 will be on the safe side. and regardless, california we'll, we'll keep it legal here. but other states like texas and others were in the red states are pretty, are 21 states are waiting with legislation to be the restrictive wharton or the band altogether. right now at this point, you're waiting for this kind of decision. several conservative states have recently joined a growing push to restrict abortions. some activists are calling for legislation at the federal level to protect rights that we need mass, co does in hundreds of cities across the nation to defend where we went. and we also need to go on the off and said to the moscow dust actions, cool workplace actions by the labor movement for abortion and reproductive care to be free. oh, the unprecedented lake has smart controversy across the us. the draft ruling can only become final when it's published by the court. lexia brian elders era the

leader of the democratic majority in the u. s. senate, as promised, senators would pass legislation guaranteeing the rights to abortion. this is a dark and disturbing day for america. last night, a report came out that a conservative majority on the united states supreme court is ready to overturn roe v wade and approved decades of precedent affirming a decades of precedent affirming a woman's right to an abortion. it is hard not to feel angry, troubled and deeply disturbed about what overturning ro would do to women across america or party. colleen and washington actually is outside. the supreme court joins us now and patty is a hearing in the report that this is long been one of the issues that has bitterly divided people in america. what is the atmosphere like why you are. ringback well,

it was amazing, there was a impromptu protested supreme court last night when it 1st leaked in a much larger one. today, at the official program is over. but you can see people still milling about what we're seeing now there because there's going to be another protest. we're seeing a large police presence move in with these great so that they can keep those who are pro abortion rights and those who are against it. because they are expected to show up in somewhat larger numbers than they had earlier in the day. you mentioned, this has been very divisive in those who acc see, this is their core issue. it is one of the main reasons they vote. but interestingly, if you look at public opinion polls, the vast majority of americans think that there should be some access to abortion. now i want to talk about the broader implications of this potential decision. i'm talking aaron grant, who's with the abortion care network. aaron, just from a global perspective, when you heard the news today, didn't seem like wait, it was all going in the other direction. well, actually i'm in the united states. we'd known about the agree dis um,

state based kind of a legal action that's happened. we thought espy 8 and we saw on some challenges. i'm coming from texas. we really do look to argentina, columbia, mexico, places that have lost constitutional rights. and we've been reading their playbooks . sadly, today, this is not an actual opinion. this is not the decision. abortion clinics are open, local funds are meeting the need and we're going to continue to fight. but we can see that the public, the actual public as you just mentioned, deuce, port access to abortion. and so hopefully this agree just leak will help the supreme court to amend the the opinion that was released by just as a leader today. this is what we don't know of. just as the lido leaked at somebody late, did somebody think the f, b, i's probably asking that question right now. but just from a personal level is, is, this is some of this is your life work. when you heard the decision or when the lee came out, what was your just got react?

my gut reaction was this is a leak. this is not the opinion. this is not what the majority of americans want. my reaction was to work with liberate abortion and to again look at that playbook. an immediately galvanized public, as you saw, we had people here last night. we have people here all day to day sharing their abortion stories, speaking out about keeping our clinics open. and that's all that we can ask. we're into continue to ask the supreme court to represent the actual american public and not the political interests of one or 2 legislators. but if this happens and we know states like most half the states are going to say, abortions illegal, what can you possibly do? oh, we're going to get run over by some police with some grades over here. you know, what could you possibly do if the court does keep with this decision, you'll have to close your clinics and all of the state. well, what we know that we can do today is to continue to support the clinics that are the only clinic from the state. much like jackson was health center. what we need

to do is to galvanize our behind our ballot issues. we need to ensure that our communities have safe access to abortion pills and to the clinics. so that as they are fighting back state by state, that we know how to move people around the country. and that's why, you know, platforms like i knew it in a dot com are so helpful for people that are pregnant day and looking for a legal analysis looking for a find and looking for employment. mrs. grant. thank you so much for time of taking the time out of me. i appreciate it. thank you very much. and again, the question is, and this is the chief justice, the supreme court put out. he said this is just a draft. the final decision will come in late june, early july, but the question is, what could happen if the decision doesn't change? well, then it would really only be up to congress and it doesn't appear. they have to support in this congress to basically overrule the supreme court. that's why if this is sans,

you can expect that this will be the dominant issue in the upcoming mid term elections. not just the federal level, but at the state level. because if this decision stands, every state would be able to decide what sort of acts as a woman gets to abortion in some of these states, it's not allowed even in cases of rape or incest. so really, this would be a monumental vote every, the american people deciding what, what, what the future of abortion access in the united states will look like a. but again, we'll know for sure. in late june, early july of this, public pressure doesn't tend to support the supreme court, but as she mentioned those with that's what activists are hoping will happen. oh, thank you so much party going in washington. thank you, patty. ah, now, more than a 100 people evacuated from the besieged, city of marable, have reached the safety of ukrainian controls. up morisha is group includes women

and children who are trapped in my pulse as of steel plant thought to 2 months and a continuous bombardment. that concerns are now going for hundreds of other civilians. left behind me, barker reports. ah, they've been 3 weeks of untold. horace in the bunkers and tunnels of the as of style still works and merry awful. this is the 1st group of evacuation to make a perilous journey from russian controlled territory to the ukrainian controlled city of parisha. and a red cross united nations convoy. when you might think of, you know, you don't understand how terrible it was. you sit in the bomb shelter in a wet basement and everything is shaking like that. and then we could go up to the surface. i saw it for the 2nd time in a month, a huge crater, 15 meters wide and who knows how deep i am. but yes, the military did. sure things is asked, but it was dazzled battalion. so you can imagine what they had. we were told that

nobody needed dusty felt abandoned, that he learned nothing. for the past month, supplies of food and water have been severely rational. adults going hungry for days to keep their children fed. this is a moment of huge relief. russia said some of icu ease have been taken to a village controlled by moscow bank separatists and would be allowed to travel to ukrainian held territory if they wanted. but fears a growing for those left behind in the confines of the steel works. soon after the departure of the 1st evacuated, russian back forces resumed their assault firing rockets towards the plant. the mayor of mary or full says $200.00 civilians still remain trapped inside, including several dozen small children as the last remaining area of the city, not under russian control. and the last refuge for hundreds of ukrainian troops who

refused to surrender with the rest of my real port is in ruins. but around a 100000 people remain living amongst the rubble. when you come on, when you lose me. the other 2 of us, tatiana push lot of our no longer flinches at the sound of exploding shells. whither i'm spanish. will you wake up in the morning and you cry. cry may evening. i don't know where to go. i am not alone here. imagine personnel, everything is destroyed in the field. why should the people go now? here they are sitting with small kids. in the west of you, craig rushes launch renewed. attacks on the port city of a desert where you cranial officials say a missile had a children's dormitory killing a 14 year old boy. missiles also struck a logistic center used to deliver foreign weaponry. russia so far failed to land

troops in the city by sea. but seizing a desert would give russia control of the whole of ukraine's black sea coast. leave barker o jazeera. the fighting is containing further east of zap parisha. i rush as a salt is slowly grinding forward. charles stratford is an backlit in easton, ukraine. we've been around the city of lissy chance today, a city that is suffering and incredible bombardment of shelling this afternoon. indeed, drive up to all jay's horizon of $180.00 degrees. we could see various points where smoke was rising, an indication of villages and towns right the way across that region, suffering russian shilling. we know that there is close contact fighting in a number of these towns, notably, puzzler. we've been speaking to volunteer evacuation drivers in around that area. they have now stopped their evacuation efforts from plaza that follows

the what we understand is the killing of one driver and the kidnapping of another. we're also getting reports from the town of the car that's close to don't that sc pro russian separate is controlled done. it's there are reports of at least 10 people killed and 15 other injured after a shells landed on a coke plugged close to that city. now these coketown is considered to be the largest in europe. it employs thousands of people we were in that area yesterday we were told that the coke plant was not operating to 100 percent capacity. it has stopped because of the war, not because of shelling, but we know that there were hundreds of people working there still to day and the source he's saying that those casualty figures are expected to rise. we're also hearing reports from the military administration of new gangs province,

that there are many towns and villages, right, the way across the region where there is no electricity, no gas and limited running water, which of course, is a huge problem for the thousands of people either trapped inside these towns and villages, or who are still refusing to leave with al jazeera life from london. more still ad on the program. after the pandemic boss, easy guy prime minister boards, johnson faces tough questions on the campaign trail. head of local elections. ah. hello there. it's a mixed picture weatherwise across europe. we are seeing some patches, the fine and dry weather, but the cloud is dominating. it is rather gloomy across those central air resorts. around the stormy, down in the south, we got

a line of thunderstorms stretching from the south of spain, through france, italy, and towards the balkans. now we are expecting that wet weather to shift further east, and it's going to be an improving picture in the west. in particular for the north west of britain and island, we have got some thundershowers expected on wednesday with that rain. but by the time we get into thursday, well, we will see some sunshine coming back into the south, the temperature picking up in london. and we'll see temperatures pick up across scandinavia, but they are sitting slightly below the average here. it's rather dry picture, which is a bit of a wintery mix coming into the north of norway. now we are going to see the rain intensify from northern areas of a city. by the time we get into thursday with some snow falling on the alps. but for the balkans, for greece and turkey, it isn't improving picture a lot of warms coming in to athens there and it's going to improve as well for the south of spain in particular, we have a close to look on wednesday. we work very heavy, falls to come, but as we go into thursday,

his current visiting terrors, assured leaders, the un top priority is to see peace and stability in the region. nicholas hack has more from de carr. well that's because the situation or the, the relationship between that un mission and bama co is that best luke warm, ever since there's been 2 successive military coups in the last year. that relationship has gone sour so much so that the french that are present in that country for almost 10 years are now pulling out and they'll be redeploying in neighboring news air. now the un mission has tried to investigate allegations of extra digital killing, torture by the 1000000 forces, as well as a russian fighter, is linked to the wagner group, but they haven't been allowed to go on the ground to do those investigations. so the situation is pretty tense there between the un office and bama co add to that

new statement just made yesterday by colonel abdulla mike, one of the military agents that has taken over power that it has made in a statement that molly is breaking off its military agreement with all european countries, which includes france, it says that it comes after france to this unit, lateral decision to end its operation. in molly without consulting bummer, go back in february. this is the latest step made by maryan authority. so the situation there is going from bad to worse and on to new good terrorists fears that with more and more people displaced. this will become a global issue with people not only flight fleet, neighboring countries, but perhaps trying to cross the mediterranean into europe. and that's why he's alerting global attention to this crisis. meanwhile, i'll chabad fighters of attacked in african union, military base and central somalia. that resources say a carbon was detonated at the entrance to the base near a bar of

a festival call should m j m p. both groups wanted to voice their flags in the area . now that led to violence between the groups police trying to disperse the crowd using battens, and using his gas the crowd than attacking a police pose and injuring offices. that things had come down by tuesday. they were very much on the control e. prayers and the area took place peacefully, but following e prayers. they were more clashes and 5 different areas around the gate. so what authorities have done now is imposed a curfew and 10 areas around the gate till midnight. on tuesday, the internet to remain suspended. internet is often suspended in india and times of tension. a short gaylord, he's the state leader. he sent his home secretary and senior officials to the area from rogers state that george flores and from roger capital j portion. make sure

that the violence here does not escalate of fire daily's largest land sellers causing were spiritual problem problems. nearby residence firefighters in india's capital have been unable to put out in place for over a week. 3 other 5 landfills in the daily of broken out in recent weeks as well with x but sang an ongoing heat wave is contributing to the blazes. now last month in the recorded, it's hot in march since $946.00 for cost as predict temperatures to be even worse in the coming days. now the case preparing for local elections in the fascination y test, the prime minister bars johnson. since his election in 2019 has been of cost of living crisis, the war and ukraine, of course, the corona virus pandemic opposition. labor parties has been to capitalize with johnson on the pressure for many sides. jones haul looks event of looks ahead to thursdays vote for me in which town of berry berry is one of the so called red wall

towns across the midlands in the north of england. the traditionally voted labor, but in 2019 swung to the conservatives labors working class hot plants turned blue delivering bars. johnson and overwhelming majority. and inside number 10, that support seems to be holding up in case then incredible. so not many other people for the lead and drag the country in the way it's been driven through the pandemic, turned on them. so you guys basically said, taurus, very happy to see things pretty much continuous. yeah. but elsewhere, things are changing and 2019 seems a lifetime ago, before covert 19 of the lock downs that this coffee shop was lucky to survive. many didn't before the war in ukraine and the cost of living crisis before the parties in downing street and the prime minister who wants to live at breakfast. but who

many now feel is liability. i did 1st and then you know, when i did for to you know, to be elected. so at the moment, i'm just not sure he's made a few mistake, particularly with his behavior because i don't think i'll be conservative on the campaign trail. the conservatives are keen to keep the conversation strictly local. the problem. it's just not the person who will be filling the pothole on that street. the media might want to talk about down the street. what we're focused on is vast street. ok, right, lay the party activists. those are only 2 to exploit their opponents was what do you think about the current conservative govern? yup. just to save me life. ok. who's got

a lack of trusting government because they see some people getting away with that. so, you know, with the tax, whether that's party and people not obeying the law, you get to a point then when people are saying, you know, i just, so sick of it. and that's what we got in the mode on the doorstep. municipal council elections, despite their obvious focus on local shoes, can often be a useful indicator of where national politics a heading. so if opinion polls predicting major conservative losses are correct, especially across these former red wool areas. well, that could be assigned, that the blue defense may not hold when the next national election comes around, which is why these elections could spell trouble for boris johnson here on a visit to berry last week. a bad set of results could be the trigger for a vote of confidence in the prime minister. he's already facing the possibility of more police fines for those locked down rule breaking parties and an inquiry into whether he lied about them to parliament. jonah hall al jazeera barry. now tuesday
