president joe biden has urged congress to pass laws protecting abortion rights. political haine, reports from washington, d. c. i, late nightly, and an impromptu protest. the majority of supreme court justices apparently poised to decide that the ability to have an abortion in the united states is not a constitutional right, meaning tens of millions of american women could soon find themselves unable to get the procedure. president joe biden warned the impact could go far wider, but it basically says, all the decision making your private life will you marry. whether or not you decide to conceive a child or not, whether i'm on the voice of range of other decision, whether the, how you raise your child. what does your school does this mean that in florida they can decide they're going to pass a law saying that marriage is not at the supreme court tuesday politicians and protesters came out earlier. but majority of americans do not want 69 percent
5:03 am
of people across his country. across this country, red stinks and blue state, old people and young people want roe vs wade to maintain the lambert. so i am the link where we need to know that this is the 1st time that i've ever attended a protest and actually made a sign for it. anger at a decision, they say will impact only the most vulnerable. it's going to hurt the people that need help care the most. it's going to hurt them for. it's gonna hurt women of color or black and brown women. it always has, you know, wealthy women have always had privilege. well, the women of always had access to health care and abortions. planned parenthood, a large pro abortion right. organization says, assuming the draft decision is final, the repercussions will be huge if the roe vs wade is overturned, or that means that already about $26.00 states across the country of $35000000.00
5:04 am
women plus would lose access to abortion. oh. but those on the other side of the debate are rejoicing at the news and justice robert said that that was not in chick draft. we're very happy to hear that. and we're hopeful that i will stay with that draft and that will be the decision to overturn roe vs wade court observer. say this, anti abortion vote is only possible because former president donald trump, was able to nominate 3 conservative justices. 2 of those justices testified that roe v wade was settled law. now, some senators are saying they were lied to. congress could try to pass a law to make abortion legal across the country. but in this congress that is likely to be a tough cell. meaning that this will likely become the dominant issue in the upcoming mid term elections. chief justice of the supreme court, john robert says this is just a draft we'll find out in late june, early july. if this decision is final, patty calhane al jazeera at the supreme court. kristen salumi has moles village
5:05 am
demonstration in new york. the dismantling of roe vs wade is something that abortion rights activists had been worried about and organizing against. so when this leaked supreme court document came to light, they sprang into action and you can see the results behind me were outside of the court houses in new york city, where a huge crowd has gathered an angry crowd. many demonstrators here describe what's happening is an assault on women's rights, on their ability to control their own bodies, and should roby overturned and the right to abortion. be left to states to decide many see it as a step backwards. here in new york law makers from the state level on down are promising to keep abortion safe and legal in this state. and also make it a safe haven for women coming from other states where abortion may no longer be legal. however, we know statistically that those who seek abortions tend to be young in their
5:06 am
twenty's already have a child and be low income. those are the kind of people who would have a hard time traveling across state lines of course. so what we're seeing here is determination on the part of many activists and outraged individuals, men and women, vowing to keep the issue alive, make their voices heard and not let this right go away without a fight. the civil democratic states all moving to enshrine laws protecting the right to an abortion orange such state as vermont, where cassia rom. hinsdale is a democratic state senator. she says the league brought back difficult memories of our own abortion. i am a 35 year old woman of color in the state senate. i am a very rare person in politics. we should look around the country and see how many young women are in office. there is a direct correlation between the reality that there are so few young women in office. and yet we are the,
5:07 am
the demographic that people like to make the most laws about. of course it came right back to me. my own experience, when i saw the news last night of the late memo, i received my abortion in washington dc at the planned parenthood clinic. that's right in the shadow of the capitol. it's quite a lightning rod for people to come and protest. people trying to access abortion, and i just remember throngs of protesters pulling at my clothes a screaming in my ear and there was one volunteer who found me in the crowd who held on to me and said, i've got you. and got me over the threshold into that clinic. and i can't imagine if my experience was so lonely and so scary until at one person reached out to, to get me what it must be like to be in a state where now people are being rift ripped off of planes. a bounty is being put on their head. they're being told that regardless of any threat to their own life,
5:08 am
the pregnant she has to come to term. this is not just an attack on abortion. this is an attack on women's health and our fundamental freedoms. victoria robinson is the saga of reassemble life dot com, an organization which councils, men and women that is opposed to abortion. she says, even if the dollar is changed, women will still be able to terminate pregnancies. i would say in the democrat and the pro abortion industry, which is a multi $1000000000.00 industry by the way. so i can understand why they're nervous right now. i would say to them, if you're so sure, this is what the majority of americans want and what's the big deal, let it go back to the state so that each state can vote whether they want abortion in their state or not. i don't think that that's going to be legal to penalize people or discriminate against someone who because of their economic status. i would say that that's going to probably end up going to the states and there will be organizations that will rise up to help women get abortions if they want them.
5:09 am
the thing that the misconception about road, the way being overturned, is that women won't be able to get abortion is going to be state to state because women will still be have access to abortions. i would say there are pregnancy resource centers across the country in the united states and by a margin of 3 or 4 till one abortion clinic that are there to give free resources to women who find themselves in an unplanned pregnancy. whether they, if they choose life with diapers, with baby clothing that formula, they need all to, to give them that free access to health. so i would say to the democrats and the pro aborts. put your money where your mouth is, offer the same resources to women who want to continue to have abortions in those states that don't offer abortion any longer. once ro leeway is overturn, now you're going to have the opportunity to prove you care so much about women. ah, over a 100 civilians are created from the ukrainian city of maria, pull of reach the safety of up a reaches

5:23 am
killings committed by these russian link forces. but to date human rights watch, we haven't been able to confirm the public level. the government continues to say these are simply russian instructors, that all that they're doing is instructing central african military. and we did present our findings to the government of the central african republic. they did not respond officially. but again, i want to reiterate at a lower levels in the government, people absolutely know what's happening. and some of them are quite worried about it. politicians in democratic republic of congo voted to extend the state of siege in the east of the country. provinces have been play by decades of insecurity and of malicious martial law was imposed last may. as her rumor tosser reports is not the 1st time in peace in the democratic republic of congo have voted to extend the state of siege in the east of the country. it's happened before, and each time martial law has been extended by 15 days. oh, excuse me,
