8:00 pm
done last, we take a look at what's to the store for the aviation industry following the global pandemic. counting the cost on al jazeera and when a hands on journalist working in asia and africa, there'd be days where i'd be choosing and editing my own stories in a refugee camp with no electricity. and right now we're confronting some of the greatest challenges that humanities ever faced. and i really believe that the only way we can do that is with compassion and generosity and compromise. because that's the only way we can try to solve any of these problem is together. that's why they are so important. we make those connections. there are some of the media stories a critical look at the global news media cast right on al jazeera government shut off access to social media. ah,
8:01 pm
the u. s. supreme court overturned for 1973 landmark roe vs wade ruling ending nearly half a century of abortion rights. corn has done what has never done before. expressly take away a constitution, right? that is so fundamental. so many americans already been wrecking. right to life has been vindicated. this cooling is outrageous and heart wrenching. democrats slammed the ruling while republicans celebrates a long awaited victory setting the stage for crucial midterm elections. ah, hello, i'm adrian for again. this is al 0 live from doha. also coming up, a struggle to survive in afghanistan, aftershocks raised the death toll in areas hit by witness stays. devastating earthquake the un human rights office as israeli forces fired the shot,
8:02 pm
but killed al jazeera journalist, shipping of ugly ah . so we begin in the united states where the supreme court has struct out a ruling, recognizing a woman's legal right to an abortion ah, this, or to see them into abortion demonstrations in washington. this is that the decision came through the conservative dominated port voted 6 to 3 in favor of overturning the 1973 ruling. those were versus weighed millions of american women and are expected to lose their rights to an abortion. u. s. president joe biden said that it was a sad day for the country make no mistake. this decision is a combination of a deliberate effort over decades of said, balance of our law. it's a realization of an extreme ideology and
8:03 pm
a tragic error by the supreme court. in my view, the corn has done what has never done before. expressly take away a constitution, right? it is so fundamental. so many americans, and already been recognized. let's go live out of washington. i was putting co, hey, in his outside the supreme court took us through this, this ruling party. well, this really knew was about a case in the city. and basically said, could they limit abortions to under 15 weeks and supreme court decided to low pass that completely get road of road the way the argument is that the word for she doesn't actually show up in the constitution. activists will point out there's a whole lot of work that shows in the constitution that we consider constitutional rights. but the practical matter is, as of this moment, 13 states were ready with what they called trigger law. basically, they had spanned abortion in their states,
8:04 pm
sometimes without any exemptions for rates in the health of the mother, if you don't normality. and so these are your last minute to court makes this decision in the hopes that they were going to, that those laws were to be put on the books. in the end, we expect about $26.00 are going to ban abortion. there been some states that said they want to take it further. further, they want to band certain contraception. this really will open the floodgates for states, mostly in the south and from the west. the states obviously, abortion will still be allowed and accessible. the problem is going to be, or not wealthy women, they were always able to travel to get abortions, even print previous row that jewelry. people are going to be impact the low income people, minorities who don't have the resources or pay time off to leave the stage. so that is going to be where the most immediate impact is felt in this really dress taking decision i want to talk to. and so she's
8:05 pm
a washington get the rest of it just felt the need to come down here. what was your reaction when you denise? i'm angry, i'm disgusted. i just can't believe we live in a country that would treat women this way. what do you think is going to happen now? i think a lot of women are going to die, trying to get an abortion. i think that a lot more protests like this are going to keep happening until this country goes with popular opinion, which is that women are not incubators. so i saw you in the, the reason i'm talking to you is i saw you in the crowd and you were arguing with one of the anti abortion rights activists to think you can change their mind. no, i don't think so. i think that people who pick and choose when a rule applies to them versus a baby versus anything people who say they're pro life yet don't support things like school lunches or gotten safety or a thriving wage. those people just can't be helped, but it's still harmful for them to be spreading their lives because they're still
8:06 pm
generations, but need to hear the truth, which is that they are not incubators, women should be say, abortion should be legal. so what do you think the practical impacts are if, if you still see protests like this day in and day out? i don't think anyone thinks you're going to change the 6 justices on the supreme court. do you think the next step is congress or how do you, are you ever going to get this right back and hope so. i'm not sure. i don't think we're gonna stop until we do get it back. i think that women of color, black women, this is dc where we've got the highest maternal mortality in the country and in a country that has some of the highest maternal mortality in. but most of the developed world. and i think we're going to see people who look like me dying and child birth or dying to have a safe to give birth safely. i don't know how many people need to die for the law to change because we, we've seen it with gun laws. we don't know how many children need to die before that's changed. but what's scary, is that what's next?
8:07 pm
this is states race. so what's next that mean interracial marriage? birth troll. i'm horrified and mortified, i believe in clarence thomas's descent, or in his opinion. he did mention that perhaps it's time to go back and look at the other freedoms of the 14th amendment. interracial marriage, same sex marriage contraception. do you think the court is going to go there? i would not be surprised, not at all. i wouldn't be surprised if that's where we went. this is such an extreme overreach of bodily autonomy, but anything is possible now. there's a lot anger about this court. are you angry about how this all came about? yes, i'm angry. i woke up this morning. i saw this and i drove here at the speed of light and i'm fighting back tears fighting back bomb it. i'm very angry. i'm angry because someone who doesn't want children who has made it possible now to
8:08 pm
not get pregnant in anticipation of the law. i have value beyond my baby making abilities and i have value beyond what any old man or woman or person who has made their choice. and now it's preventing future generation to have i have value beyond what they say, and i'm very angry that this is just a flap in the face, my own bodily body value and vitally o'connor me. thank you so much for joining us . i do appreciate it. thank you. so as you can see, this is an emotional issue. i was just in the crowd and so women crying and hugging each other because this is something that i think a lot of democrats took for granted because in the confirmation here, and the reason i was asking about the court, i think it's important to remember that we saw a conservative justice di brock obama was going off and she had about 1011 months left in the senate republican leader said he wouldn't give him the confirmation here in the next election. would decide who get to a point that justice then when ruth bader ginsburg died just about
8:09 pm
a month before the election, they went ahead to rush through amy, coney, barret, justice it a conservative. so without those 3 trump appointments, this didn't seem like a possibility. and one of the things that you'll hear in the crowd is they're angry and you'll hear on capitol hill because they all testified in their confirmation hearings under oath that they believe that rody wall law grovee wade was settled law. it is a very, very unusual thing. for a supreme court throughout the history of the country to simply say that decision, but that was completely wrong. we're completely reverse it. so this is a massive new development for america. and what it means to be an american woman. oh, abortion wasn't always controversial in the united states. it was legal when the country was founded up until what they called the quickening when the mother could feel the baby around 4 months. but by the 18 eighty's abortion was outlawed across
8:10 pm
most of the country. it stay that way until the sixty's, as the women's movement came into force pressure mounted on the court. first, it struck out a law the ban, so im birth control to married couples. then later for unmarried adults, family planning installation services, john hi. then movie wade in 1973 changed the lives of millions of women, allowing all abortions in the 1st trimester and some restrictions in the 2nd. a decision reaffirmed several times since by the supreme court before the decision on row wealthy women could travel out of the country for the procedure. but for lower income women getting an abortion often meant going to unsafe clinics. in 1965, 17 percent of all dust due to pregnancy were the results of illegal abortions. and after ro, there was an economic impact. women could choose to stay in the workforce a could start, for example, in advance. i and education program i. they could get accepted into such a program because a school would say, i find
8:11 pm
a credible that this woman will actually complete her education and not drop out. i because she'll be able to plan i and allow women to invest in careers as opposed to just jobs. i because they could, they could follow paths that involved investment rather than being viewed by employers as people who are sort of here today gone tomorrow. studies have shown that women who leave their job to care for their child even for a short time rarely recoup their earning potential. and many can't afford child care in this country, which now cost an average of $14000.00 per year. there are some economic studies that say there's also a link between legal abortions and a drop in crime. this reversal will now mean half of the women in the country are a bell to find out what life was like before. roe v wade. a half a century ago, especially for women with little means, have a child, they don't want or risk their lives to legally get an abortion. paddling al jazeera
8:12 pm
washington top democrats have been voicing their disapproval, the speaker of the us house of representatives. nancy pelosi reacted to the ruling such a contradiction. yesterday, the said the states and cannot make laws governing the constitutional right to bear arms. and today they're saying the exact reverse that the states can overturn a constitutional rights for 50 years. the constitutional right for want, having the right to choose, that policy is raging. but the harm is endless. republican members of congress hailed the ruling as a momentous victory. we are entering a new era of freedom of freedom for the unborn. and i am proud to have always been on the side of pro my pro life brothers and sisters who stand here with me to day
8:13 pm
and all across america. we always knew we would realize true freedom for all americans. the people have won a victory. the right to life has been vindicated. the voiceless will finally have a voice. this great nation canal live up to its core principle, that all are created equal, not born equal, created equal. the reaction to this principle decision by the court, it must be peaceful. and the d. o. j must step up to protect our justices their families, churches, and pro life pregnancy centers from unprovoked violence. that's brianna white house correspondent, kimberly how could is life for us in washington? kimberly, president biden said that it's a sad day for the country. yeah,
8:14 pm
the u. s. president had spoke following this decision, and many were wondering if the us president would use his the executive authority to potentially overturn this decision in some form or fashion. that was not the case. what the us president has done is instead said that this is now in the hands of the people to look to congress and to choose legislators that will overturn this. in other words, the us president says that he believes that the conservative majority on the supreme court is out of touch and that this must not be the final word. the final word must be in the hands of the people that they must elect legislators. he believed democratic legislators that is the president's democratic party in november and the congressional mid term elections in order to have a large majority in the house of representatives and the senate. or right now there is just
8:15 pm
a narrow majority in order to codify the law that has existed for some 53 years. and so this is something that the president has decided to do, realizing that the options for him to overturn this are very limited in the interim . this means that the stands and so what we know the president has done is put in place some mitigation efforts in order to allow women to travel the states that do provide abortions and also directing the department of health to allow women to get access to the so called abortion pill that allows them to medically terminated pregnancy up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. so this is something that the president has put in place, but the same time was the president saying is look at this is in the hands of the people. there's really, very little i can do to overturn this as president. he also said that abortion rights. and now on the balance in the mid terms. yeah, the president is,
8:16 pm
is very clear that what he believes is that this is something that has to be done in the, in the electoral process. what he's saying is that as this is a system of government that's very unique. what people need to understand that in the united states, the executive branch or the white house, the legislative branch, or the u. s. congress, and the judiciary, which is the supreme court, are all equal branches of government. no one body is higher than the other. so the president is very fearful that he's going to, if he takes action look like an imperial president. that is, if you go back in history, what america really riled against was the monarchy. so no president wants to look like that, like an imperial president. instead, what he's saying is, i have to allow you to do this. and in some ways, this is a political decision. the president is low in approval ratings right now. he's got
8:17 pm
low marks because of the economy. americans are angry for record high inflation in a way. this is a bit of a political gift. americans may have voted against joe biden, his democratic party. now, in order to preserve these reproductive rights, they may in fact vote for his party and this could be a political win. that may be another reason that joe biden has decided not to take executive action and hand this to the legislators and the people in november. a white house corresponded kimberly, how could they live in washington? kimberly many thanks. indeed. let's bring you some international reaction following that to us supreme court decision. canada's prime minister justin trudeau called the ruling horrific on twitter. he said that no government politician all man, should tell a woman what she can and can't do with her body. burton's prime minister, boris johnson, said he thinks the move is a big step backwards. johnston went on to say that he's always believed in
8:18 pm
a woman's right to choose. that's why the u. k. has the laws that it does. the vatican has said that the decision is a powerful invitation to reflect on the values of western society on life of victoria, robinson is the found up of reassemble a non profit organization that provides post abortion recovery cur. she joins us now from charlotte in north carolina. good study with us. what's your reaction to this ruling? i my reaction is i'm overwhelmed. i, i think aside from having 4 daughters and 10 grand children on their birth the day of their birth, this is one of the greatest days of my life. tell us something about reassembled in your organization and what it does. so what i do with reassemble, i've been working for 26 years, helping men and women who have had to deal with the trauma of choosing abortion. so they come to our organization looking for help because they made a decision that they regret the remorse, the guilt, the shame, all of the other ramifications that go with using abortion,
8:19 pm
abortion industry doesn't want to talk about that. so i started reassembled to make sure that we had on a resource for those people who are searching and looking for that help. he could argue the least those women had the choice to make that decision. and what this ruling, this court ruling is done, today's take away women's rights to make decisions about the own bodies and infected criminalizing it. well, 1st of all, that is not true. that is a rhetoric that has been, is putting out there. and it's simply not true of women. abortion rights have not been taken away from women. they can go to a different state to have an abortion. we are not. abortion is still not illegal in this country. and i will have to argue the fact that it is not her body. there are 2 step becomes pregnant science has proven at the moment of conception. we are unique, human beings with our own dna. that means that is a separate body from the woman's body. so i have to disagree with that. this is
8:20 pm
what i keep hearing from people. i'm getting text messages. oh my gosh. women can have abortions anymore. it is simply not true. she will still have a choice to have an abortion. if that's her choice, you heard what canada's prime minister had to say. he says with decision is horrific. no government politicians man should tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. surely forcing women to have children against their will is barbaric. first of all and the prime minister of canada has no bearing on our country. and i tell you this if his lips are moving, the guys lying, i won't trust anything out of his mouth. he's got a lot of nerve to say anything when it comes to this issue, by the way, he's running his own country. or it really good to to betty. thanks indeed for being with us, sir. as victoria robinson and charlotte, north carolina, and the, our, since the ruling was announced, some u. s. companies have said that they will help employees who need to go to other states to have an abortion. disney says that it will cover expenses for workers who
8:21 pm
need to travel to access family planning cap, the form employes, 80000 people in the state of florida, where the governor signed a bill banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. and alaska airlines says, despite the ruling, it will continue to reimburse travel costs for its employees who want to undergo medical procedures that are unavailable in certain states. president biden says that his administration will defend a woman's right to seek an abortion in another state. a woman lives in a state that restricts abortion, the supreme court's decision does not prevent her from traveling from her home state to the state. it allows it does not prevent a doctor in that state. and that's thing from treating her. as the attorney general was made, clear, women must leave reign free to travel safely to another state to seek care they need. my administration will defend that bedrock, right?
8:22 pm
fanny state or local official, high or low, tries interfere with the woman's ex exercise and her basic grade to travel. i will do everything in my power to fight that deeply on american attack. still to come here on al serra blast ukrainian forces have been asked to retreat from the eastern city of summerville, next, after a week's st petals with washing forces. ah hello. the weather is slightly set fair across the middle east. as per usual, lots of hazy sunshine, maybe a little lifted, dustin san just coming down across eastern side of the raven potentially over the next day or so. but nothing too much to speak of. 45 celsius here at doha. maybe a touch warmer as we go on into sunday. we have got some showers further north
