rocks influential, she'll lead a mac ta ta l. sata is demanding an early election and has said dialogue with the government has proven to be futile. in a televised address, he urged his supporters to continue with their sitting at the parliament building until the demands of met suttles block one the most seats and last year's parliamentary election. but there's been a political deadlock ever since. i'll come up a shot, a 30 mach ballpark on hockey. my most of the people are tired of the ruling class, the whole of it, including some of those who belong to our block. therefore, take advantage of my presence to and corruption, god willing, there will be no place for the old guard regardless of their affiliations. this will happen 1st through a peaceful, revolutionary democratic process. second, an early democratic election should take place after dissolving the current parliament on torso. jabari has more now from baghdad. they share leader,

very defiant, and determined and standing his ground. he put to rest all speculations, ever ongoing. here, over the past few days that there was a lot of behind the scenes meetings taking place and that eventually he would join a dialogue process. but certainly that is not going to happen. as he said, what is critical now is whether or not the various other factions within the government will accept his call. and there is no really functioning government at the moment after the elections that were held last october. since we'll cut off souther instructed his m p, 's 73 of them to withdraw in june. the country has been in limbo. so the question now is whether the other sides will accept the fact that there should be another election health. the next process that will come is the speaker, parliament would have to basically dissolve parliament and then they will have to announce new election. it is unclear what the other side that will be involved in

this will have to say in the coming hours, we'll have to wait and see, but certainly most of us other standing his ground urging these protesters to continue. what he calls is a peaceful revolution that will eventually hopefully get their demands. met the ordinary iraqis. we've been speaking to say they are tired of all these politicians and they're back and forth and their divisions. they just want to see their country back on its feet and the infrastructure to be funded properly so they can get on with their daily lives. a homicide. her dad is a visiting fellow at the european council on foreign relations. his dialogue remains the only way forward. while we've had the former prime minister noted molig in former prime minister had the body shortly after the speech come out with statements and they have, they did the same as before. they are asking for continued dialogue, which most goes further said there's no point to it. but i think that's going to be the path to figure out what happens next. mostly does kind of put himself in

a corner here because he is asking for a lot of change. there's a lot of promise coming out of these protests wondering what most of the ones and so new elections, early elections, we just had those 10 months ago. so they're nothing drastic, but it's all he can really cling onto at the moment. i think this is just my analysis and a few other people have voiced that. he thought he'd get concessions when he threatened to resign his m p. 's from parliament, like he did with the elections, where he threatened not to take part. all the other political parties came running to him, demanding that he takes part to join them in. and so when they didn't do the same thing with the resigning of the m p 's the actually had to go through with it. and i think he was taken back by the fact that they were moving the process along, which started this whole mass mobilization and taking over the parliament building . we kinda go over the 1st turtle of the biggest fear of violence when a lot of the supporters from the coordination framework came out with counter

protests. and thankfully, there were no clashes there, but it seems to be seen. i mean that negotiations take place and funded, adamant about new elections and other parties are not. then we could still see the possibility of escalation for us. president joe biden has signed a new executive order. i'm making it easier for women to travel between state to get an abortion. it's a thick and executive order on abortion, since the supreme court overturned the roe v wade decision that guaranteed a woman's right to the procedure. mike hannah reports from the white house. another salvo in the battle to restore reproductive rights. the 1st meeting of a task force which will explore ways in which to restore a woman's right to choose and protect her in the process executive order, make sure health care providers comply with federal loss. women don't face delays or denials, medically necessary care. and this executive order advances research and data

collection to evaluate the impact of dr. health crisis is having to help and other health conditions. president biden signs and executive order director of the secretary of health to advance access to reproductive health care services. and we're going to continue forward including, for example, and making sure medication. abortion is available to women throughout this country and we won't stop, but the executive order is limited in scope. and president biden has long insisted that congress needs to pass legislation, restoring the rights embedded in roe v wade. president biden says he'll support removing the filibuster in the senate in order to allow reproductive rights legislation to pass by a simple majority. this is described as a nuclear option, which president biden has generally opposed in the past in

a possible sign of things to come, the head of november's midterm elections. the fight to restore reproductive rights was boasted by a significant victory at state level. voters in the conservative state of kansas, every directed a measure that would have repealed the right to an abortion that had been part of the state's constitution. they voted no neighbor, neighbor and no one came on the borders of cages. placene. this for the american people vote to preserve and protect the rights and refusal, let them be ripped away by tissues and my administration has their back. the department of justice is also weighed in announcing that total sue the state of idaho, which is one of the many introducing an abortion ban in the wake of the supreme court decision. the contention that the state is contributing a federal law that guarantees the right to emergency medical treatment. my gonna

auto 0 washington okesha ren style is the senator in the legislature of the us state of vermont. she joins us now from burlington. vermont. thanks so much for coming on the show. now you've spoken openly about your experience getting an abortion. so how important is buttons executive order for you and do you think it will make a difference? well, we are essentially in a holy war in the united states and kansas and his executive order represent winning a significant battle that there are many, many battles to fight a had. and i think democrats need to be able to stop and celebrate that the american people are on our side and want to protect access to abortion. but that will probably only strengthen republicans renewed desire to strip americans of voting rights and having their voice is heard and not something that we have to contend with as the supreme court has more decisions to come like more v harper. it

just so net, how sustainable is the situation with effectively, the executive branch of government is basically trying to override the supreme court. you know, the legislative branch and the executive branch are co equal to the judiciary and need to engage in this kind of nuclear option that president biden has called that we, they've already pushed a big red button that takes away a right that is popular. that's settled law to access the wishing care and it is time to end the filibuster in even just a narrow way in order to maintain such a fundamental right to such a large part of the us population just on the kansas result. what were you surprised by this? considering it is such a rid, stating what message do you think that seems?

i wouldn't say that i was surprised as much as harkins. you know, it's easy in a moment like best with so much misinformation and so much division and how we consume information in this country to think. maybe i don't know where the rest of the country stands on access to these fundamental rights. and to be reminded that, you know, public polling has shown the family planning and women's right to choose is not a red or blue issue. it's been a popular issue to maintain, you know, a family's rights to, to plan when and how to have children. and that's something that most americans believe in, and it's a right that they're not easily going to give up on his own that does the kansas result bode well for democrats in the coming mid term elections been i hope so, and i hope democratic take democrats take it as an opportunity to speak to the american people directly. so often what we find is that these issues are popular when they

stand alone on the ballot, raising the minimum wage legalizing marijuana access to abortion. but democrats have a hard time connecting those issues with themselves as candidates, so we're going to need to do a better job demonstrating to the american people, what's out state in every single election. and a thank you so much for joining us. this is keisha rim style. thank you for having me. oh, still ahead on al jazeera, it is immoral. the you in chief calls out oil and gas companies, making huge profits as ordinary people suffer from searching energy prices. and they are being rude by politicians ahead of the general election, but turn out among young kenyans could be long. mm. ah. the journey has begun. the faithful world camp is on its way to cattle. your travel
